Philly is getting screwed...hard.

Fortunately, it didn't fuck them over.

Unbelievable, the Eagles are in 1st place of the NFC East

It sounds like an excuse, and maybe it is....but the forecast for today was 95 with a 50% chance of rain. Which tells me it was humid as shit!

I played Softball down in Orlando a few years back in October. It was mid to low 90s with humidity over 90%. It was disgusting. I don't think I've ever been that miserable. I vowed I would never play in Florida again and would never visit again unless it was December or January.

I can't imagine it was ideal conditions for our guys to play football.

This is not fake news, you nailed it Michael K. That is some sick wet tropic heat down there. Seahawks practice on Lake Washington across from Mercer Island lol.

Just to fly down to wet pandemic moistness somewhere near the next hurricane and come away with a W is no small feat. That 1983 playoff game was the last time I remembered it was so much fun to beat the Dolphins in Miami. I think Shula was coaching lol.

Wow. How bad is this defense?

That's what you get when you don't invest in the DLine. You can have all the talent in the world at LB and DB, but if you're front 4 is shit, so is youre ENTIRE defense.

Hawks have more wins than the NFC East aka the Patriot League.

On that final first down by Carson that sealed the deal, might have been a bad angle, but it looked like the ball was one pube short of the first down pole. It was however beyond the tape mark on the chain. So where do they measure the point of a first down...the pole itself or the end of the tape mark?

Somebody mention last week that they should just let RW call the plays. Well his head set went out on the second to last drive and this is the result:

Excellent question, maoling. I was wondering that very same thing. Hope this answer helps:

The first down marker is traditionally two orange poles with a 10 yard chain connecting them (10 yards from the inside edge of one pole to the inside edge of the other pole). Once a ball is spotted for play on 1st down, the Linesman spots his foot on the line of scrimmage. The chain operator places one pole at the location. Another chain operator places a marker on the multiple of five yard line nearest the end of the chain.

If the play results in a spot close to the line to gain (10 yards from the 1st down line of scrimmage), then the marker is placed on the multiple of five yard line and the chain extended to the spot of the ball. If the nose of the ball touches or goes past the inside edge of the pole, it is a first down.
