E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!! Birds - Cowboys '24 G2 game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

Please use this thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussion of the Eagles - Cowpokes game played on 12/29/24.

The Birds are wearing Kelly Green uniforms for today's game (still my favorite Birds' uni color)!

Go Birds!!!

 

[LionJim]

Eagles are favorites at -7.5 and two of the four talking heads on ESPN just now picked the Cowboys to win against the spread. Don’t shoot the messenger.

 

[LionJim]

I’m really rooting hard for Saquon to get the single season rushing yards record. The Commanders aren’t going to go that far in the playoffs so I’m kinda sorta rooting for the Eagles. The fact that Philadelphia is playing Dallas probably has something to do with it.

kenny’s got this.

Yeah, I was delighted with the Eagles kickoffs last week.

Commanders don’t play until 8:20 tonight so I’ll be in this space sharing my wisdom on football and commutative ring theory.

Kenny Pickett is the starting QB. I think it’s a toss up, at best, for the Eagles.

The good news is they’ll be healthy next week to face an awful Giants team in Philly if they still need a win to clinch the division.

The Cowboys have nothing to play for. Pickett is hot garbage but even so, the Eagles should win easily. Pickett is strangely arrogant also.

The problem with Pickett is that on his best day, he’s a 3 TD 2 INT type. He reminds me of Minshew that way.

It all depends on how his INTs turn out. It’s hard to plan around that variability.

I have a coworker whose daughter was friends with him in college. Her assessment, “he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed”.

CGJ with the Pick 6!!!!

70 yard return

 

[s1uggo72]

Yeah, I was delighted with the Eagles kickoffs last week.

I called for that switch last week

 

[WestSideLion]

Nice way to start with an Eagles pick six!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

With the PAT, it's 7-0, Birds, with 11:43 left in the 1st qtr

Nice. The Cowboys were moving the ball well but that was a bad pass, right into coverage.

 

[s1uggo72]

I am wearing my Eagles hat n shirt I forgot last week

The best way to keep Pickett from effing it up!

 

[Big_O]

I like the Eagles uniforms. Reminds me of the 70’s color scheme.

It’s hard to be a very good NFL QB anymore without an above average IQ. The game is too cerebral these days.

 

[LionJim]

I called for that switch last week

Yes you did but I told them to stick with what they were doing, at least for that game. Serves them right for listening to me and not to you.

 

[BobPSU92]

Of course, I have Colts-Giants on FOX. I’m such an a$$hole.

Yeah, the Kelly Green alternative uniforms are very popular with the fans, as most of them grew up following the Birds when they wore this color uni. The Birds always claimed they made he switch to the Midnight Green unis because the Kelly Green was no longer available. I've always been suspicious of that story, but perhaps it's legit.

They are the best unis in the NFL. Just gorgeous.

I remarked on that to myself earlier. Lovely. Just darling.

 

[LionJim]

Cooks with two great catches so far for Dallas.

 

[WestSideLion]

Dallas is having their way on offense early. Thank god for the one Rush bad throw.

 

[LionJim]

I’ve read that Mahomes has perfect recall and can look at a new play for ten seconds and that’s all he needs. The most coachable qb ever.

 

[LionJim]

Yeah, Dallas looking smooth on O.

 

[WestSideLion]

7-7. Dallas is smoking the Eagles D. It could be 14-0 if not for the pick six.

Dallas answers with a TD. A nice drive for them, aided by some dumb penalties by the Birds.

70-yard drive; 12 plays.

With the PAT, it's 7-7, with 5:38 left in the 1st qtr.

I hate them. I m a mid night green? Guy

 

[LionsAndBears]

Almost 10 minutes gone before Saquon and the offense even gets on the field. That's 1 way to stop him.

 

[s1uggo72]

Of course, I have Colts-Giants on FOX. I’m such an a$$hole.

I mean who wouldn’t want to see that

But at least the Iggles wear it well.

Me. Was that a trick question?

It seems she had the "tool" part correct.
