Cooleyfan1993 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Ughhh. My dad and i were Planning to go, and then get home by like 5:15 for a family Christmas dinner (for my brother and his fiancé and my sisters fiancé that all arrive here Friday and Sunday). Now that we found out the new start time, he wants to just go for the first half.....that’s not fun, if i go to a game i want to stay the WHOLE game....**** you NFL!!!

Voice_of_Reason Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Great. They can blow us out with a bigger audience. Sigh. I respect the effort yesterday against Tenn. but now that there’s nothing to play for, I can’t imagi that there’s going to be a lot of motivation. Also, it felt like they shot their last bullet last week. This isn’t a shot at Jay in any way. I just don’t think the team is going to have anything left in the tank.

hail2skins Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 The makeup of the crowd at FedEx is going to be pro-Eagles anyway, and I'm wondering if the later start time is just going to make it worse. As of now, cheapest tickets including fees on Stubhub are $100 per, and it looks like there are a lot of club level tickets along with upper level seats at that price point. Also noticed there are a LOT of club seats for resale on the Skins website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Also, of course the one game of ours to be flexed this season would be a meaningless game...that’s just adding insult to injury. Knowing it’s getting flexed but not cause of any playoff importance to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 So as far as Flex Scheduling is concerned, a game is considered to have playoff implications, even if it's just for one team ? I mean obviously and technically just having 1 team in it counts. But to count enough that it would bring enough viewership for expanded TV coverage ?

Renegade7 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I'm pretty sure the networks decision wasn't based on us playing the spoiler role versus could the Eagles sneak back in the playoffs after having to kick our ass first. Really, I think they are just doing what they gotta do to make sure teams that need wins aren't looking at the scoreboard or checking out finding out they got eliminated right at kickoff.

petey hodge Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 It would be somewhat refreshing if we could spoil it for the Eagles with both the 1) Redskins... and 2) Kurt "Klutch" Cousins nailing it shut with Minne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Lol so this eagles fan on twitter keeps trying to tell me that they’ll eliminate us next week. Even though I have repeatedly explained to the guy that we already got eliminated, therefore they can’t eliminate a team that has already BEEN eliminated. Im thinking the twitter account is a troll account or some bot, cause like....how much easier do i have to explain it??? 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Let the stadium be full of Eagles fans. Perfect way for Snyder to see how ****ty his team is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago has the outside shot at the #2 seed, and will come to play, but it would suck for an Eagles fan to make the trek down here, win the game, only to be eliminated at the same time by a Vikings win. What would be worse (or sweet for Skins fans) is if Minnesota loses, but the Skins somehow pull off a last second win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonysoprano1 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 With all the backbiting and Dramatics going on behind the scenes the Skins are going to lay down for this game like none ever before. Zero effort can't wait for the season to end mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, would love if we kept them out ourselves. The stadium will no doubt be showing the score of the Vikings game throughout our game as well. Remember the final home game in 2010, against the giants, when they needed someone else to win + they needed to beat us, for a playoff spot? FedEx field showed the final score and the whole stadium cheered SOOO loudly 😂😂😂 i remember a few giants players whining about how “disrespectful” that was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Minnesota vs Chicago is still 10am/1pm right? So if the Vikings win aren't they in regardless of whether the Eagles win or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
