Hopefully by Friday Gannon gets the Nebraska job.
Hope Sirriani checks his ego and doesn't try to get into a shootout against Jefferson. The ground game and run heavy rpo is his friend. Gannon needs to bring pressure even if it means leaving someone exposed.
Go Birds 🦅

i think the eagles have more talent but have no and i mean no confidence in gannon....L
Not at the game?

On paper the Eagles have a deeper roster but the Vikings starters are better. Since it's only Week 2, I think that's advantage Vikings.
Can't stay up for the late games anymore either. Gotta get up at 5am for work too.
Do miss being able to watch football all day Sunday and Monday night but still get to bed on time when I was stationed in CA.
I picked up an extra shift tomorrow, I probably ain't making it to halftime tonight.
No emotion today after Lions shtein show last week and Phillies great weekend. I have inner peace.
Namaste

Counterpoint: my house isn't in danger of catching on fire except when the locals want to set off fireworks.
It's nice to see the Vikings playing so soft of defense to let Hurts look like an NFL quarterback.
I guess it will be Goedert's curse to set up first and goal all season.
Opening drive TD, not bad.
I'll take that.

Been up since 4:30 am. That plus a bit of melatonin will help me go out.
might have been hurts' best drive of his career....he was really good and made a few special plays
Why does this team always have illegal men downfield
Good evening Landon.
Oh great more flags
Flags, flags, flags
OK that was awful call. Nice to see refs in preseason form
I'll be honest, I was expecting a more dramatic meltdown a little later in the game.
WTF was that call?
farg these refs
Absolute horseshtein call
farg your mother ref
Now that's more like an Eagles drive...
We've seen that same return a bunch of times.
the 2 illegal man downfield tell me theyre looking for it...minnesota tipped the refs to it, or the lions did from the tape last week. either way they want to call it.
the OPI was nonsense.

It's an easy one to get when your linemen don't know what's going on behind them.
these refs are out of control
Five yards, three yards, what's the difference.
I may go to bed soon, penalties are atrocious.
They're allowed to call penalties on Minnesota?

6 plays for the vikings in Q1...thatll play
they need to cash in on this dominance. offense is moving the football but its very methodical.
Was there a sale on flags or something?
I will always love this guy Hurts
See? If they just call bombs all night they won't have as many illegal man downfield penalties. Probably.
That was a sexy pass.

Interviews between quarters now? "Hey Coach can I bother you as it looks like you don't have much going on" Enough already. Let baseball continue that stupid tradition. Go interview the concession worker who's busting their ass all night. I'd rather hear about how many Carmichael BBQ Chicken they sold and how it's prepared.
We can just assume it took Hurts a second to comprehend that Quez was left that open.
What a whiff on that run.
You know what would be cool to see? A pass rush.
Getting no rush
Well farg
Davis doing nothing
Cox pedestrian
Jordan Davis does not look that big out there.
That was a nice walk in the park for Cousins. Too easy.
vikings are too good to get shut out but didnt they spend a bunch of money on the pass rush
The only person faked out was the cameraman.
if you are looking for a pass rush from Jordan Davis you are looking in the wrong place
Hey! Make up flags!

The field, which is handy because that's the wrong place to look for it from anyone else, either.
These refs are just atrocious
Do the refs know the rules?
Well Goedert averages one easy pass drop a game.
White men can jump, and can catch, but not both at the same time.
Chandon Sullivan? Oh yeah him!
Dantzler making money tonight.
Now I know there's been some good coverage and it shouldn't be flagged, but I am surprised it hasn't been.
Covey is in over his head.
Who was that flopping idiot
He just had three more tackles to break to get that TD.
That was incredible
What afarging MAN
Okay, I'm impressed.
farg yes!!
That was a hell of a run.
Nice first half.
This d line can't do a whole lot well this young season
Well... they got to the QB finally.
Awful angle by CJGJ on that drop
I'd be going to bed right now if it were the Eagles with that drop.
WOW! That would have been even better had it been Reagor.
That drop was so bad, I thought it was Reagor for a minute.

Clock management hasn't been terrible this week.
Wordmark looks less like ass with the black border. Still not great, but what can you do.
Impressive first half.
Inside the five and Nick stays aggressive and gets points. Jalen is on fire
The penalties have chilled out. My one beef would be lack of pass rush again.
Howie may need to work a trade.
If Hurts can be 75% this good on a regular basis, this offense is going to be so much fun to watch. Stopping AJ Brown? Okay here's the other 6 ways we can beat you.
farging impressive.
man hurts was really good here....hes taking some shots and i worry about where his legs will be in december but if he can play like this. okay then.
nobody is out of a game with little johnny gannon on the other side. hold tight.
Getting down the field for the FG was pro football like we don't normally see from the Eagles
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on September 19, 2022, 09:56:25 PM

Let's wait to see how it looks against Wentz next week. Wash just lost their center.
really smart move by sirianni to run the ball on 2nd down on the first set of downs of that drive....he was forcing minny to call a TO or let the game go to the half. minny burns a TO, eagles get the 1st on 3rd and then get points. baited them into it, they were desperate and it backfired.
even if they get the stop on 3rd, they have to burn another TO. then a punt. so its length of the field for points with :15 and 1 TO. very mindless decision.
Reddick should never be in coverage again. He looks like he's on ice skates.
More pass rush please
I should have went to bed at halftime.
HOLY shtein!!

I thought for a split second that was coming back for roughing the passer
Shocked that flag wasn't on the Eagles
Prime time Cuzzzzzoooo
He's gonna give you a couple of those a game, the question is will your defense seize the opportunity. Slay read him like a book there.
I really appreciate Hurts just throwing the ball away when shtein goes wrong.

Slay is in another zone
He's not gonna stop until he gets that second pick.
Need to set Reddick free - screw this coverage shtein
Vikings O is getting sloppy, time to get a turnover and put this to bed.
The Vikings are 10/11th's checked out.
SLAY!! OMG almost!!

It's amazing how it takes him three quarters every week to figure out the pass rush isn't working.
So... are the Eagles actually this good, or were the Vikings simply a paper tiger?

Probably neither. Vikings are a decent team I think. Great game planning, great game from Hurts. I'm not counting on everything clicking this well every week. But man, if they can continue to unlock Hurts like this...
Would love to see the Vikings not even get the ball back in this one.
Quote from: Diomedes on September 19, 2022, 11:05:10 PM

he has the same amount of wins as covid shots
Now that Kelce has a penalty the entire OL has been flagged tonight.
It's easy to forget that the Lions nearly beat the Eagles in a shootout, because they're the Lions and all, but definitely keep that in mind when setting your expectations for the season.
weird box with zero second half points
on the other hand, the Eagles have won two and beaten teams that are 1-1, not 0-2
Drubbing.
Refs were all around terrible. The 20 illegal man down field calls. Whatever the farg they were doing with the play clock, the Devonta smith pick, the illegal contact on the Vikings dback who was making plays...bunch of other shtein
Not sure I ever watched an nfl game with better pass protection than what the birds had tonight. Mailatta had a rough night and he definitely beat the snap more than the once it was called
A few Eagles games I've watched where a defender just completely takes over a game. Seth Joyner during the hop game comes to mind. Slay tonight was there
Sanders dances too much behind the line of scrimmage...starting to prefer Scott who just takes off. The Birds run mostly quick running scheme not power where the rb needs to be patient and set up blocks. Stop giving the ball to Gainwell late didn't he fumble it away at the end of a few games last season?
Special teams were awful. Return Coverage on punts and kicks is bad and not sure why they keep bringing it out of the end zone on kickoffs just take the 25.
Time to get on board with Hurts. He's playing at an mvp level right now. I know it's early but he's done nothing to not at least see what else he's got. Mock away but I'm all in for now.
Good point on the STs

Slay on Jefferson:
5 targets
Jefferson 1 catch
Slay 2 catches

Watching the replay on NFL network. My God I have watched a lot of Eagles football over the last 50+ years but I've never seen a performance like that tonight. Slay was otherworldly.
Great observation SD! Probably the best defensive performance by a bird since Seth Joyner's "They brought the house we brought the pain" (god bless you JB!) performance in the Astrodome.

Yeah, I think BPS salted away not only defensive player of the week but probably also a PB selection by week 2, especially if Diggs in dallas can't clean up his burn rate. MNF can have that effect.
Went to my first Eagles game since COVID and man I didn't realized how much I missed it until I pulled into the parking lot. Atmosphere was great last night, my section was actually way cooler people than it was 3 years ago lol.
also if I didn't just get covid I def would have gotten it last night in those bathrooms. super hot sweaty mess of gross people, myself included.
apparently each eagles home game ticket also gets you a commemorative NFT ticket? lol I would think this is kinda dumb but I guess since we no longer get ticket stubs it's kinda cool. and it looks like there's any actual marketplace where you can sell them? I have not figured out if people will actually pay money for them yet.
If I understood what I read, this "merge" that Ethereum pulled off recently is going to usher in a whole new world of NFTs, allowing people to have unique, permanent digital proof of things like attendance at a concert or a sporting event.
I have no real clue what that means...like, some kind of icon for your avatar....on the metaverse or something?

I can go into detail if you want because I am definitely a crypto bro these days but for the most part yes. Essentially all NFTs are are digital ticket stubs anyway so a good way to get normies into them now that paper stubs are a thing of the past. numbered so each is unique (although in this instance there are 74,000 of them so not all that unique). these ones in particular are just collectibles with no other utility but yeah there are 100s of other things that NFTs will be used for. like you said, proof of attending something, your profile picture somewhere, at some point yeah metaverse but I'm not so much into that and don't really think it's going to take off like the nerds think.
but to your first part, all the merge did was go from proof of work to proof of stake, meaning the network is now supported by people staking their ether rather than mining it. there are no longer thousands of computers mining tokens and sucking up energy. they dropped the network's energy usage by 99.5%. In one second last week it decreased the energy usage of the entire globe by .02%, it really should have been bigger news. the fact that ethereum was using that much in the first place is another story, but at least they made plans to correct and and then did it.
kinda corny but I looked at some of the other games and this is one of the better ones...

NFTs are pyramid schemes for tech bros. Thankfully the market has dropped out on them and everyone had to go back to buying art for their money laundering.
