It’s Finally Here-Your Sunday Night Thread

Phi @ Car: This game looks like a keeper, don’t it? I see two solid D’s taking on patchwork O’s that get results. I can’t help thinking this will be a close, hard-fought game that ends with me snoring on my sofa because I had three scotches/beers too many. Carolina has a strong pass D and Philly is without Agholor(?) (pronounced “Oh-Ver-Ray-Ted”) and a banged-up Cooper. The Panthers run game is strong but the Eagles D should be up to the task. However Ginn, Cotchery and Funchess constitute a WRBC (wide receiver by committee) that gets things done. Maybe it’s time to take Cam a bit more seriously-he seems to have reined in his worst instincts and put it all together. Also, he does have an Olsen at TE-a guy who no one seems to have an answer for if he’s targeted enough times.

Hey, it’s a close game! Has it actually been worth watching?

Moonbatting Average

Only recently

Doktor Zymm

Define “worth watching.”

Probably no.

King Hippo

This is getting quite irritating.

Romonobyl

Quit wearing underwear. It worked for me.

Romonobyl

I wonder if Zach Ertz real first name is Richard?

Moonbatting Average

Seems like the Flag Gods haven’t been appeased by this game

Defensive Back Mike Wallace

Hey at least it’s not Hit the Quan.

Defensive Back Mike Wallace

The iggles are somehow going to win this game arent they?

Romonobyl

Hush you.

Gratliff

There are two finishes under Kelly.
A) Eagles come out like hot fire, rack up 40 in the first quarter, and lose by 1 on the last play of the game.
B) Eagles come out like dick, but eventually wear out the defense and run all over them at the end.

Excellent movie.

Lions v Chiefs next week in London.The Boston Massacre, pressing our sailors, and burning the White House aren’t criminal enough for the Brits to deal with these games .

Doktor Zymm

What about making women think Hugh Grant was attractive?

nomonkeyfun

Andie McDowell’s speech at the end of Four Weddings canceled out any issues America should have with Hugh Grantt.

Doktor Zymm

He’s just…not an attractive man. There’s a certain sort of Brit who doesn’t age well, but we’re still supposed to find them sexy. No thanks. I don’t like the twisty face. You shouldn’t look like that if you haven’t had a stroke.

nomonkeyfun

Yes, but that accent.
/Says Hollywood.

I still stand by the horror that was Andie McDowell’s speech. First saw the movie as a horny16 year old boy. When the movie ended, I would have jumped into bed with all of the “attractive” women, including Duckface. But, I had minimal interest in McDowell.

Doktor Zymm

So I recently learned that I count as a Millennial and that I’m not quite a 1%er for my age group, but my salary puts me solidly in the 2%er category. Life is different after getting a PhD. I used to be poor and surrounded by some of the smartest people in the world, certainly much smarter than me. Now I’m comparatively rich and have to dumb down my conversation or add background when I use complicated terms like “microbiome.” I suspect I’ve been kind of an arrogant dick for the past few months.

Romonobyl

Can girls be dicks?

Just askin’.

Shogun Marcus

At least you’re aware enough to notice. I’m trapped in classes with self-absorbed participation trophy fetuses. It brings out the raging old man in me.

Doktor Zymm

I went to high school at a math/science/tech magnet school. I was plenty arrogant as a teenager, but I was surrounded by other teens who were just as arrogant. I realized it wasn’t really fair of me to be irritated by those guys when I was doing the exact same thing.

nomonkeyfun

Iwent to one of those high schools, but it was a general public school. My boss is a born again Christian, I am a confirmed atheist since I was 13., and I only go o church/ emple for weddings Bnei Mitzvahs. I managed to school him on scripture a couple of months ago. He still felt that Christianity had no relation to Judaism.

Is the Eagles scheme just wrong for him or did DeMarco Murray turn into Trent Richardson?

hippofant

I’ve heard that Murray is used to an I-formation power-running scheme in Dallas, and he’s in a lateral single-back/shotgun scheme in Philly. Whether that explains all of it, I dunno.

Doktor Zymm

He’s had his moments, so the ability is still there. I suspect it’s a scheme thing.

Doktor Zymm

I have 6-7 days of unused sick leave that don’t roll over at the end of the year. Should I just start calling in hungover every Monday? I suspect my boss might notice the pattern.

Shogun Marcus

Alternate Fridays and Mondays.

Sill Bimmons

Mix in some Tuesdays and Fridays and you’re golden.

He didn’t “make a play” Huff’s dumb ass just dropped it.

“Flick the bean” is something you could do as a tourist in Chicago.

After living in Australia for two years, seeing commercials for American restaurants on football broadcasts brings out my inner fat man every time.

I am not looking at a national ad campaign featuring Julian Edelman, because if I were everything in the universe would have gone utterly insane then imploded into a new singularity from which a newer, much more horrible universe will arise.

Infinite Jets

Edelman shilling Puma feels so right.

Romonobyl

Well folks looks like we gots us a game here now.

WhyEaglesWhy

Now Byron Maxwell made a play? This game should be played on Halloween.

Sill Bimmons

welp

Well now…

I want my, I want my, I want my old neck back.

WhyEaglesWhy

The Eagles aren’t just bad; they find a way to make you hope longer than you should. That’s a special kind of bad.

Doktor Zymm

Yup. I only gave up on the Skins season last week, mainly because of the clusterfuck that is the NFC East, and the whole “making it to overtime” thing. I should have stuck with my pre-season instincts. They’re actually exactly where I predicted in my preview, with the slight difference that they beat the Rams instead of the Giants.

Sharkbait

Cam…pet…ence. It can be Peter King’s new byword for him.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I have hit pause on Doctor Who too many times so I am still 20 minutes away from watching the game again, but I refuse to believe one of these teams showed competence.

Romonobyl

No holding call….amazing.

Gratliff

Way to not fuck up for a change, Jordan.

nomonkeyfun

Zymm,

Does anyone refer to your Mayor as Rahm, his is a Doctor, Emmanuel.

/Channeling old joke about the first Jewish President.

Doktor Zymm

You’re giving Chicago politics more credit for witticism than it merits.

nomonkeyfun

Serious Q, how is he as a Mayor?

Doktor Zymm

I hate him. I haven’t changed my residency from MD in the 6 or 7 years I’ve lived here, but I’m changing it ASAP so I can vote against him next election. Because who doesn’t LOVE sketchy parking meter contracts, Ventra, closed public schools, much higher property taxes, and a surge in violent crime?

nomonkeyfun

I thought the parking meter deal was little Daly.

And I thought Rudy after 9/11 was bad.

Doktor Zymm

It was Daly 2, but Rahm confirmed/upheld it.

nomonkeyfun

Ahhhh, and so much of the country thinks of NYC as the greatest den of iniquity.

Romonobyl

Grew up just outside of Chicago many years ago. The politics of the time are what coined the term “Windy City”. It has nothing to do with meteorology.

Doktor Zymm

If only it was just wind. There’s golf-ball sized hail in local politics nowadays.

Sill Bimmons

First class on an Emirates A380 is the ultimate goal of the international traveler.

I wish I could have flown on the Concord, just once.

Doktor Zymm

I aspire to Raffles Class on Singapore Air.

nomonkeyfun

It has the most beautiful string of pearls I’ve ever seen.

Romonobyl

Also, I’m not the biggest fan of Airbus products.

Brick Meathook

I once flew free on a Navy P-3 Orion through a thunderstorm and the co-pilot got up and vomited in the back of the plane. I doubt I could ever top that.

My friend… his dad was a pilot for the airline, when they were just starting out.
He has had some amazing flights.
His dad has some great stories, too.

A team from the NFC East and a team from the AFC South will each make the playoffs.

Romonobyl

After the display of the Texan’s defense today, JJ Watt should pull his commercials.

WCS

But he GETS IT. He WORKS HARD. He is an INSPIRATIONAL GUY. He BRINGS HIS LUNCHBOX. He’s a TEAM PLAYER.

Sill Bimmons

HE LIVES IN A FRIGGIN CABIN YOU GUYS

The most stringent protection of the freedom of speech would not protect a quarterback yelling “Fire!” in a crowded stadium.

Sharkbait

Worst pump up music ever.

Doktor Zymm

I watch too much 30 for 30. Every time I see a fat guy TD, I get a little sad and think of Marcus Dupree.

King Hippo

Though he wasn’t a fat guy when he scored his TDs. That was a sad one fo sho.

Doktor Zymm

He was always big, with a tendency to fat when not working out. Which feels like the category Tolbert is in, though I don’t know his non-football life.

nomonkeyfun

I get happy because I think of “The Replacements”.

“I’m wiry.”

WhyEaglesWhy

Goddammit. That effort reminded me of DeShaun Foster’s second effort TD that buried the Eagles in the 2003 NFC Championship Game.

Not that I’m bitter or despondent or hateful or anything.

Doktor Zymm

You wouldn’t be a fan of an NFC East team if you weren’t some combination of bitter, despondent and hateful. I’ve buried at least one heart at the Battle of RG3s Knee.

Defensive Back Mike Wallace
Doktor Zymm

Haha! I like Tolbert. I also like the Eagles Eagling. That was a fun TD.

Romonobyl

It’s for different reasons, but I’m 100.9% with you on savoring Eagles derp.

WCS

Mike Tolbert says FUCK YOU WIP.

Beautiful display of tackling there.
