The offence looked a bit rusty but I guess that's to be expected since Hurts hasn't played in nearly a month. They did enough to win but need to step it up next week regardless of the opponent.

Yeah Hurts looks very mediocre

Hope he is using WD40 and knocked the rust off because it will only get more difficult each game.

Injuries and rust aside, I think the Eagles are comfortable playing a safe and conservative, if not boring, style of offense.  Limit mistake opportunities and lean on the defense to win games.

It will work as long as they play from ahead.  If they get behind, they'll be forced to open things up more, but for now I think they accept winning over style.

I think the media being pretty hard on Hurts.  I mean he threw a good ball right out of the gate.  No TOs and I'm Ok with the conservative play calling.  Of course, GB has a good defense and not many WRs were open.

Here's hoping we get a good game on Sunday both rushing and passing.  Our D is just unbelievable this season! They win championships!

Following y'all that all this cold air doesn't get wasted on a bunch of dry windy days!!!

Go Birds!

My prediction is Commanders shock the Lions on Saturday, Eagles beat the Rams on Sunday in a close game where Jake Elliot kicks a game winning field goal in the snow as time expires. NFC championship in Philly and they beat the pants off the Commanders to go back to the super bowl to play Buffalo or Baltimore. Super Bowl is a toss up. Go Birds!

I would go with Liquid Wrench and stop with the Happy feet, make a decision and throw. You have two great receivers, great running back and a very good tight end, it couldn't be any easier....

Just play mistake free ball on both sides.  

Fans act like Hurts has to throw for 400 yards and 4 touchdowns each game and if he didn't he had a horrible game.   I mean the guy did what he needed to do to win. 

Keep it simple and it’s a victory. 

Yup 2 of their 3 losses this year they beat themselves. This is a great team. If they don’t turn the ball over, they will win 9 times out of 10 against anyone in the league.

Wish there Flyers would get consistent. They finally have a core group and goaltending that isn't like Swiss cheese. Feel like every year the past 6 or 7 we are saying "this young talented group is only a year or 2/3 away". Maybe this time?

I feel like their goaltending is trash this year lol They'd actually be solidly a playoff team if they were getting average goaltending. Ersson is the only NHL goalie on the team and he's not a franchise guy yet. Plays his best in a tandem 1a/1b situation. Problem is fedotov STINKS and kolosov is just not ready for the NHL yet. There's some real nice pieces though. Their other big problem is that they have no good centers. Coots is a better winger at this stage in his career, Frost is a 2C at best probably better suited to 3 C, Poehling and Laughton are both 4 C's. They really need to add 2 dynamic centers and they would be contenders. Until then they'll be in that 10-20 range based on their goaltending.

Didn't realize Stafford was the quarterback for Detroit during the "Snow Bowl" game at the Linc in 2013. And now he's the QB w/the Rams at the Linc with the potential for another snowy day.

His stats kinda sucked the first time w/the Lions (10-25 151yrds) Hopefully we see a repeat....

need to see when else he visited lol

Anyone else taking the plunge and going to the game Sunday? Ticket prices have been dropping since yesterday and me and my buddy snagged a pair. Figured playoff game in Philly in the snow is not something that happens every day. I'm beyond hyped. Hopefully the storm and/or the game doesn't disappoint! 

Take some pictures and video if possible. Doesn't have to be top notch...just want to see the vibe.

The 2013 one is the closest to the conditions we will have on Sunday. That was the famous LeSean McCoy snow game, and Stafford's passing numbers were down that day, for what it's worth.

McCoy set the all time rushing yards by an Eagle in a single game that day.

Saquan broke that record against the Rams this year.

So there’s that

I sent ChatGPT these 2 images…IMG_8674.gif.720d87954e634bf8704e322f3a08205e.gifIMG_8675.thumb.jpeg.0e347e655431334b9a77444a1e20e4db.jpeg

I asked it to make me a forecast snow accumulation map. Here’s what we’re looking at on the ChatGPT model. This is also my official forecast.IMG_8676.thumb.jpeg.5aa4f13eb2a23d10afc3ed152348b912.jpeg

4 inches in Pennadelphia, MD and Snot in Pittsburgh apparently.
