    It’s 17 - 17, but Eagles need to play better than this against mediocre competition.

    Now down by 24 - 17 Washington. What is it about this team?

    Their one minute drive forcing the Redskins to use zero timeouts may have been the worst football I've ever seen. I'm not saying that they're trying to lose, but trying to lose would look exactly the same.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    Amazing comeback win for this Eagles team. Even though the circumstances didn't favor them.

    Clearly this is a team that hates to lose, and wants another shot at the Super Bowl.

    I would be a lot happier if they took charge early against a team like this and finished it without the heroics. If you screw around with good teams, you probably won’t come back. That’s how the Eagles lost the Super Bowl. That game was very winnable.

  • I've been an Eagles fan since the late 80s and it's finally paid off. It was hard seeing them make many division champship games without a Superbowl win as a kid. This decade has been enjoyable to say the least. The Green has much better since the 90s.

    Yea it's ironic isn't it? The one Super Bowl that we won, was perhaps the most unlikeliest of them all.

    I mean a lifelong second tier quarterback, gets out of his mind hot, not just in the Super Bowl but the two playoff games leading up to it.

    It's entirely arguable that the Eagles starting QB who got injured, wouldn't have done nearly as well, and thus there would be no Lombardi Trophy in the Eagles cabinet if the starter would have been at the helm.

    Of course the Eagles had been so incredibly snake bit in other seasons of which on paper they should have coasted to a Super Bowl win. So I guess it evened out in a crazy way in that season.

    Big game today against the Dallas Cowboys. A team whereby I always wish them the very best of luck.

    But I also wish that late one night when nobody is in their stadium, a gigantic sinkhole suddenly swallows up the entire structure, never to be seen again. That would provide me tremendous joy.

    However since that probably is not going to happen, the next best thing would be to kick their pompous, arrogant, oil-rich arzes today at the Linc.

    I see this game as a tale of two quarterbacks. Both are talented, but both can be inconsistent.

    I wish I had access to their bio-rhythms coming into this game. But I don’t. However I do know that whichever QB’s bio-rhythm is better, that team will likely win the game. How’s that for the worst analysis in NFL sports fan history?

    Go Eagles!!!!!

    Dak Prescott couldn’t carry Jalen Hurts' jockstrap.

  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,165 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I just emailed today's game strategy to Nick Sirianni as I do before every Eagles game. Nick always promptly emails back a thank you.

    For this game, I told him to get an early lead, and improve on that lead throughout the game. He agreed and stated that he will comply with my request.

  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,165 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That's what I'm talkin' about!

  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,165 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Lively game thus far.

  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,165 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Crazy end of game antics, but the Eagles held on.

    8-1, not bad at all. 👍

    Congrats to the eagles 🦅

    Congrats to the Eagles. I am really starting to like Jalen Hurts. The man is about as tough as they come. You can tell his left knee is really bothering him. In fact, after that low hit and watching him limp off the field, I thought it was a day for him. But no, he marched right out and didnt miss a play. That is tough. He doesnt complain either, at least not that I have heard. I just wish we could see him completely healthy. I think a healthy Hurts last year in the SB leads to a different conclusion.

    I may not be an Eagles fan, but I sure am becoming a Jalen Hurts fan!

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    Well no Eagles game this week. So I thought I’d spend a relaxing day bird watching.

    Just took a pic of this bird, i’ve never seen before. Must have came from New York City.

    that is fantastic. And I thought Tommy played for NE for a long time.

    So is 29 years now the record for longest tenure with one team?

    I forgot all about him. The Eagles have had so many first round busts over the years, that I try to forget. 😐

    Kevin Allen, I forget the exact spot, is on many lists as one of the worst first round busts of all time.

    Getting closer to game time with the Chiefs.

    I'm stepping out quickly to the pharmacy, to pickup an extra bottle of nitroglycerin pills in case I need them - the extra large bottle, quart size. 💊

    cant wait for this game!!

    I have also been heading to the pharmacy regularly before Patriots games. For me, its mostly Mylanta and Rolaids.

    Nice sack to start the game.

  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,165 ✭✭✭✭✭

    What is this, sack night?

  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,165 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Could be the last team with the football at the end of this game, wins the game?

    Eagles are getting more pressure tonight than they did in February

    Congratulations on beating the Chiefs last night @stevek, as a fake Cowboys fan I'm happy for you. No really, nice win, good job.

  • craig44craig44 Posts: 11,350 ✭✭✭✭✭

    that was a great game last night. I stayed up and watched the whole thing. I was glued to the TV. It is about time one of the biggest games on the schedule lived up to its billing.

    Hey I admit it, I thought the Eagles were beat at halftime. Besides being behind in the score, and trying to come back at Arrowhead against the reigning Super Bowl champs, the flow of the game just wasn't going the Eagles way.

    But then the Eagles offense did just enough. And the Eagles D was superb, although with help from some dropped passes by the Chiefs.

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I do hope you'll watch us gobble up Washington today @stevek, Happy Thanksgiving!
