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

[LionsAndBears]

A little teary eyed here. I’m a sucker for this stuff.

I'm a sucker for this stuff too.

 

[G3624]

That's a pretty good team.

 

[LionJim]

TD, DeVonta Smith!!!

To me, Smith is basically Terry McLaurin, only he’s WR #2 in Philly.

 

[WestSideLion]

Nyg wash and philly may not like each other, but we all share that Cowboy hate!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend? Nah.

 

[Grant Green]

Take barkely out. Should be able to get the record next week vs nyg

He stopped going to class when the Big Ten announced the season would be cancelled. By the time they reversed course, Micah had missed too much class to come back.

You can’t fault the kid for stopping school as a sure-fire first round pick. He wasn’t going to finish his degree anytime soon.

He tried to play.

Wrong. He was already in California training before they decided anything. I’ve posted the link several times imo with or without Covid he wasn’t playing his third yr at PSU

 

[LionJim]

41-7. All is right in the world.

Not so fast. The Commanders don’t play until tonight. I’ll get back to you.

Wasn’t that the 2020 covid debacle? B1G cancelled the season then brought it back late. I don’t blame him for opting out. It was a clusterf*ck.

No see below or above

 

[Grant Green]

The enemy of my enemy is my friend? Nah.

Well I didn't say "friend"

 

[s1uggo72]

Like many did. Can you blame him and the others when we knew very little about covid at that time.

No see below or above

with 8:36 left in this game, at this point in the two 2024 games between the Birds and the Cowpokes, the Birds have outscored the Pokes, 76-13

 

[troutrus]

Total Domination, HUMILIATION, ASSKICKIN’

Gotta love it.

He needs to opt out from the Cowboys. He has indicated he'd like to play for Mike Tomlin.

 

[s1uggo72]

The blonde ref looks kinda cute to me. After this game I’ll take the flag

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[Tom McAndrew]

61-yard FG attempt by the Pokes, and it doinks off the upright. He had the distance (and a lot more), but not the accuracy

41-7, Birds, with 4:40 left in the game.

 

[LionJim]

Well the Cowboys OC did spend a few hours talking to me this past week.

The Cowboys OC called me just now. He’s a little upset that I didn’t specifically tell him not to fumble or throw interceptions. <shrugs>

 

[LB99]

He needs to opt out from the Cowboys. He has indicated he'd like to play for Mike Tomlin.

That would be great! Can he play WR? Supposedly, Tee Higgins has hinted at wanting to play in Pittsburgh. I’d do that deal in a second if I was Omar Khan.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

a crazy scrum takes place at the end of the Eagles' punt. It appears that a Poke tackled/slammed down an Eagle OOB, after the play was over, and that set things off. Flags were thrown; no announcement yet on them.

Dallas had 2 guys disqualified

Birds have 1 guy (Sydney Brown) disqualified

[LionJim]

Remember, #propernounsmatter. “He” who?

[LionJim]

Barkley needs 101 yards to break the record.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Birds with a FC of a Pokes' punt at the Birds' 15

1:01 left in the game

 

[Tom McAndrew]

McKee takes a knee on 1st down, and it appears the Birds will kneel out the clock

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Final: 41-7, Birds

 

[LionJim]

Very impressive win. Well done, Philadelphia Eagles!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

[LionJim]

Congratulations. But you weren’t going to clinch at Washington, that was never happening.

 

[LB99]

Barkley needs 101 yards to break the record.

Yes, but they have little reason otherwise to play him next week.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Congratulations. But you weren’t going to clinch at Washington, that was never happening.

LOL.

If Hurts hadn't gotten injured, I don't think you're correct. But, we'll never know.

 

[LionJim]

Yes, but they have little reason otherwise to play Barkley next week.

Wouldn’t the 2nd seed be something to fight for?

Edit: Eagles have locked up 2nd seed.

 

[LionJim]

Wouldn’t the 2nd seed be something to fight for?

Also, the OL was so proud that Saquon got 2000. They’d want the rushing record for themselves, as well. It’s not just about Barkley.

 

[LB99]

Wouldn’t the 2nd seed be something to fight for?

Haven’t they already locked up the 2 seed? Why risk injuring your star player in a meaningless game? Plus, the only records Barkley seems to care about are in the weight room and the team records.

 

[s1uggo72]

Wouldn’t the 2nd seed be something to fight for?

I think second seed is wrapped up. Depending on what happens today n Monday they could could get #1 seed I believe

 

[LionJim]

You are correct, Eagles have locked up the 2nd seed.
