    Bro you've posted it multiple times now, we get it, you're hoping for a miss so that your plans aren't ruined. This is a snow board though so keep it to yourself honestly. We don't want those bad vibes.

    Lol...I remember 1 other time but there may be more.

    I imagine virga warnings will be hoisted if it’s that cold while we wait for the storm.

    Call me nuts but I wish this next storm is 100% FZ w/temps around 12-15F/Day. We haven't had a hum dinger of a icing in a while. Besides, I'm sick of snow. That's old news...need some new blood in here.

    Fwiw, the tree guy is here right now with the chipper, I kid you not. Should I dive in head-first or feet-first?

    Lol, what a coincidence. Hopefully we get a good storm where limbs would fall and we would hear more wood choppers.

    No doubt, feet. Head first would be way too easy/quick...

    Yeah this is why you don’t start threads 5 days out imo. Major negative changes on the gfs and cmc. Suppression is definitely on the table.

    Public hanging? Stoned to death? Firing line execution? Wood chipper (feet first)? for those who disobey IMO...

    Although i prefer the short-range models this close to the event, the 12z Euro is tracking with the NAM for a possible repeat (with the coastal apparently coming further west enough to throw frozen at least to the I-95 corridor).

    With tonight's Lows and receiving 2" tomorrow will look pretty cool out there Monday morning. 

     I still have past frozen junk piles as well. So in essence, leftover street junk lingering plus snow on snow events  plus incoming freeze....not bad.

    and an arctic airmass arriving on MLK day, almost too much goodness right there

     

     

     Yep, that's what I thought. I may have to pinch or punch myself to realize this.

    Only thing missing would be is a Bird's second round playoff game win at home to cap off a cool memorable weekend...

    I don't disagree, but at least publicly, realizing it's not necessarily honesty, players seem to like him.  I don't think there's any way they can justify keeping him as OC.  That bridge was burned this season.  If he gets demoted back to passing game coordinator, it's a compromise.

    But the passing game has never been great during his tenure.  That said, the offense was never built for prolific passing statistics, either, being run-first plus possession, so it's kind of a wash.  Correlation vs. causation is hard to determine.

    Eagles definitely need to draft one, I agree.  Calcaterra is a terrible blocker, so I don't love the idea of going into next season with him as #1, and I kind of don't like how the team keeps overusing him in running formations given how poorly he executes.

    For those reasons I'd prefer if the team moved on from him.  If the coaches could use him more responsibly as a receiver, I wouldn't care.  Dallas is also degrading as a blocker, so either way the Eagles need a true or more capable blocking TE.

    Offensive line and TE are need(s) which I think Howie will address.

    AJ is a ticking timebomb so that may be another area as far as receiver...

    Lurie is a measured guy.  I think if they end up firing KP, it will take some time to do exit interviews and all that, including perhaps assessing player attitudes.  It might also require assessing Sirianni, himself.  I don't think he should or will be fired, but this might be another test of submission.

    There's also a chance KP sticks around to appease Sirianni but gets a demotion.  I don't know if this is exactly the same situation as what happened to Doug.  My instinct was that it feels the same, and if Sirianni is going to fall on the loyalty sword, the Eagles would can him, too, but maybe they won't be as hasty to relive that same scenario.  There were lots of problems with player execution this year, and perhaps the front office thinks the regression from the offensive line was more problematic than the overall scheme.  Maybe they think KP can improve with more guidance.  I wouldn't necessarily agree with either of those opinions, but they do have more information about what goes on behind the scenes.

    Either way there will be changes of some kind.  The offense is too expensive to be this bad.  I know the lack of running Jalen is to help preserve his health, but I question whether trying to turn him into a pure pocket passer when the run game is flailing will work.  However, given how deficient the passing scheme is, it's hard to tell what is more problematic. 

    I'm kind of on the "trade Brown" train because I think he's a declining player moreso than any other reason, but his contract may force the Eagles to keep him around at least one more season.  Maybe a new OC helps him, too.  They don't yet have a receiver to replace him, either, and will possibly lose their best TE also without a ready replacement.  Maybe Dallas signs another one-year deal.  He probably wants more security, at this point.

    KP is done! There's a reason everyone is pissed on offense! I may blow torch him after I light him on fire... maybe grind him afterwards? He is useless....

    How has Patullo not been fired yet? What is Lurie waiting for?

    It's rare they fire in season coaches when you have a pretty good record. But the writing is/was on the wall. If he's back next year I'm going to punch a Dallas fan, cut into small pieces, throw through a wood chipper,light on fire then dispose of the remains in the Schuylkill River!!

    I often think how improved my quality of life would be if I wasn’t interested in sports and didn’t like snow.

    I can't tell you how much time I wasted on sports and weather in my life. Maybe not wasted, but I probably could have used it more efficiently. 

    That being said, I will continue to do so which is more screwed up...
