Birds~69

Nah, Philly/NY and Dal/Wash games were both possible NFL "flex" games but now they both are set as 4:25pm start Sun. There's no real real drama in the NFC East. Dal most likely will crush Wash. Birds 5th seed, Dal win divsion... Overcast/42F

Squirrels making weird-ass noises in the trees today to add to the "they know" theory..."click-click" and a "whining" sound. Overcast/42F

Always get a little nervous about it looking good so early. Meh, screw that, something to follow at least...we didn't even have tickets to the game last year. Overcast/41F

39F, mostly cloudy w/some early light rain/drizzle. Looking at todays forecast, Accuweather already honking a bit about this weekend possible weather event...

Maybe a snow shower/flurries can sneak in here in the wee hours...probably not. Cloudy/36F

That's rough to get that close. Birds looked somewhat in control at halftime. I thought the spread was too high to begin with but thought they would at least win. Their D is just terrible. No LBs to cover over the middle stuff/run and the DBs give the receivers 10yrd cushions.

What was your parley? Pretty sure they/Birds were favorites by -12.5...

Well, that loss just killed the Birds. Most likely opening the playoffs on the road as a 5 seed. It's really simple as far as the final seeding goes. If the Cowboys win next week, the Eagles are the 5-seed. The 3-seed... The only way the Eagles can win the NFC East and hold the 3-seed in the postseason is if they beat the Giants in New York next week, and the Commanders somehow defeat the Cowboys in Week 18. If both teams finish the year at 12-5, or at 11-6, the Cowboys would hold the tiebreaker for the division crown. The Eagles are shutout now from getting the No. 2 seed because of a tiebreaking loss with the Lions, who are battling with Dallas for that spot in the final week of the season. The 5-seed... Short of a miracle in the season's final week, the Eagles will be playing a road game to open the playoffs at the winner of the NFC South division, which is looking like the Buccaneers even though they lost in Week 17. If they won that game, they'd then be playing either the Cowboys, 49ers or Lions on the road in the Divisional Round — should they still be alive.

Pathetic...Cards march right down the field.

Defense is horrible. They can't stop crap. Now only up 3, Cards w/the ball w/2:30 left in the 4th. This will really screw up my NYE if they lose....

That's about right. Little too warm for my liking. Overcast/41F https://seatemperature.info/new-jersey-water-temperature.html

Odd you say that. I've heard several flocks quacking overhead the past several days. Many late at night/overnight...thought I was dreaming. Clouds still here/43F

Dallas is solid at home (7-0)they'll beat Det. Birds beat scrub Cards/Giants the final 2 games. SF lose to Rams final week. Piece of cake.... Still cloudy, 44F

Speaking of football, hate to say it but you have to root for Dallas tonight vs Detroit if the Birds have any shot at the #1 seed/bye. This is great, rooting for Dallas and no snow under our belt...holidays to remember. 43F/Oh yeah, cloudy

I think having your house windows open/screen, front screen door open and going shopping in a flannel only in late Dec is a problem. (yesterday) Gimmie a late night 1-3" clipper w/winds and I'll be happy... 37F/Cloudy

Oh, I know. Weird stuff...

Any late season snow slop won't do it for me. Crap March/April slop snow doesn't count. Just give me at least a clipper (1-3") or 2-4" before March will do...simple things seem to be so complicated these days. Couldn't look more like death/dark out there...36F.

Thanks Don for rubbing it in! Kick a guy in the balls when he's down... (Kidding of course, you're a great asset to the board )

Unbelievable how many cloudy days we've had. Just kicking back now in the recliner () w/the morning coffee looking W...super dark clouds. 34F/Cloudy

Yep, watched 6abc at noon and they said it had peaked. But man, they had a live shot and people were driving like complete brain dead idiots through water which they had several inches depth+. What's the rush? Glad I live in the burbs and wouldn't mind going more rural... 54F/Drizzle

^And oh yeah, trash night here as well and I took it out. Beer cans clashing probably woke the dead. Winds super-ultra-mega calm though...

Some stuff moving westward. Don't be surprised by a couple showers later...creeping W through Hatboro. I think I'll see something...dark/lowering clouds. 53F/Drizzle

NBC10 had a live shot of Kelly Drive...what a mess. I think it's still rising?

I have standing water where I usually don't. Heat off, 2 windows open (plus screen door) and indoor/outdoor Christmas lights still kicking... Currently overcast/mist/51F ...and here's tonight forcast.

My indoor/outdoor stuff have been on 24/7 because it's so cloudy/dark. Blew a couple window candle bulbs but surprisingly the 1.21 Gigawatts red porch light is still going strong. But damn, all we need is a clipper, snow squall, snow shower or heavy duty flurries activity to make things right. Birds won, Dal and SF lost which helped though... 47F/Cloudy
