That old guy who still writes about the Philadelphia Eagles, now for PHLY. Annoys w/dad jokes, incessantly. Husband/dad. Grew up in the South way back when progress actually seemed possible.

I'd never threaten to murder him! I mean, I'd happily dance on the pathetic little idiot's grave but even that would be really tough because obviously it's going to be unmarked.

You really have to watch this interview. The superintendent says that "concerns were passed on to me about the play." Who passed those concerns on? He won't say! What were the concerns? "You'd have to ask them." But who is them? He won't say!

My own (probably naive) take is that the immigration views/attacks as envisioned by Trump and far-right diehards have very little resonance beyond the right-wing base. That they are now a layer of our atmosphere reflects the disproportionate power those folks have in politics and media.

The last time the Phillies successfully converted a save opportunity in the postseason was Game 1 of the 2023 NLCS. Craig Kimbrel locked down a 5-3 victory.

Wouldn’t put too much stock in the Rams’ record going into this game. I’ll be surprised if the Eagles win. Rams probably should have won @ Denver, & the other loss was the Australia travel debacle. Eagles offense might find more success. Matt Stafford should feast on this defense

On 1,569 pass defense snaps as #Eagles DC, Vic Fangio has sent an outside CB to pass rush exactly 2 times. Both were last night. Case Keenum completed passes of 13 & 22 yards. See thread for video 2 Vic seems desperate to generate pressure this year--the guys getting paid to do it haven't done so.

Dombo's roster construction and the lack of any talent in the minor leagues is why they aren't as good as the other playoff teams

You can dissect all the nuances of the Phils’ loss to the Braves, but there is one, overarching reason why it happened: (Whispers) The Braves have a better team. Also true of the Brewers. And the Dodgers. And …

Seeing all the outrage over a 2 pm start for Phillies-Braves makes me realize how old I am. Guess most of you folks never had to lobby the teacher to roll out the TV cart midafternoon to watch a bit of the World Series before dismissal.

Nick Sirianni regretted his decision to punt. He also saw the same offense you did. And the way he thought in the moment was revealing. On Sirianni's decisions, festering problems on offense and a "true team loss", for @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

Jalen Hurts repeatedly said he didn’t play to his standard. True, but honestly, I don’t think it would have made enough of a difference if he had. Which is kinda scary.

Sirianni was asked if anything the Bears did offensively surprised him. Answer: they played a great game, blah blah blah. We kinda saw that. Maybe you could answer the question?

When Sirianni launches into one of his “sometimes it’s this, sometimes it’s that” explanations I often think he just has no idea how to fix the problem.

The Eagles’ first two games were a strong indication that something like this was coming. Thought maybe the “third-string QB” factor might delay it a little while longer. Certainly did not.

Can’t go for it on fourth and a short 2. So you go for it on fourth and 5. Nothing about this makes sense. What was the four-yard third down pass?

You absolutely go for it there, tush push or not. This is Mannion’s worst half so far. Dunno if that was his decision. There has to be a fourth and 2 play that’s better than that.

Do the Eagles linebackers understand they are allowed to get in front of the receivers? Keenum has made some amazing plays BUT most of these are just simple pitch and catch, short to medium, receiver always wide open. I don’t get it.

Despite everything, Hurts is 10 for 13 for 111. Barkley has 11 carries for 73 yards. Devonta has five catches for 61 yards.

Dug a little deeper: this was not only the Vikings' worst offensive success rate in a game under Kevin O'Connell, but their worst in any single game over the last 20 seasons.

A Minnesota Star Tribune analysis shows the state has lost 20 hospital-based obstetrics units in the past dozen years. As a result, roughly 67,000 women of childbearing age now live more than a half-hour from a hospital obstetrics unit, a figure that has increased by more than 30%.

Don’t have a strong feeling about Eagles-Bears. If you’re picking Eagles because of Case Keenum, remember that last year, Bears beat the Birds with Caleb Williams going 17 for 36 for 154. It was all about the run game. This year, Eagles have had awful gap discipline. We’ll see.
