(oh and I guess a stud rookie QB) 😆 I look forward to seeing you guys this coming Saturday. My Motor City Kitties better be ready; we've struggled against mobile QBs this season so I expect this game to be closer than the seed lines suggest. Ford Field will be rocking nonetheless. If the ways he’s handled the Sixers is any indication Harris is only marginally better, but that still at least makes him league average by NFL owners standards so definitely an upgrade. Eagles fans are spoiled with Lurie, good owners shouldn’t be such a rare commodity in a league where ownership value is largely based on prestige, but I guess that tends to attract a certain kind of person. Fortunately for the rest of the NFC East the division still has Jerry Jones, who apparently blew the opportunity to hire Bellicheck because Jerry couldn’t make up his mind on what to do with McCarthy.

Excellent game! Daniels shows poise far beyond his rookie experience. Now that all the "garbage" has been purged from Snyder on down, they are starting off anew. They have a solid foundation to build on, regardless of the outcome of the next game!

He also just extorted Philadelphia for a new stadium then used it as leverage to get an even better deal weeks later. Almost everyone in the city hates him, but as I said he’s certainly an upgrade from the last owner (though the bar couldn’t be much lower).

The issue isn’t asking to build a new stadium - the issue was that they insisted on building it on an entirely unsuitable site and proceeded to lie about how much it would actually cost the city. Oh and virtually no one wanted it there. We have a sports complex in Philly. That’s where the stadiums have been for 60 some years. They could have built a new arena there and most everyone would’ve been thrilled. Instead they insisted on a downtown site, mostly out of Harris’s vanity. What’s more - they seem to have had no intention of following through, and They put the city through two years of grief to get a leg up on their current landlords. Either that or they were willing to give it up now that Harris has achieved his dream of being an NFL owner and doesn’t need to prove to the league he can bully a city into doing what he wants. It’s all very scummy and you better believe I will slam him for it. Also, my mother always taught me that “everybody does it” isn’t an excuse for poor behavior. Anyway, I’m happy you have a better owner now. Actually I’m not because the Commanders were mostly inept under Dan, but for you Ken I will make an exception to my fandom and be happy!!

benfica_77 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Congrats @Ken Gargett I hope you rub it in Rob's face for the next several months at least! Was there a post-game celebratory SLR DC with some Bruce in the background?

Ken Gargett Posted January 14 Posted January 14 not to sink the boot into the cowboys (okay, a little bit), interesting to note the difference in the attitude of the owners.

gormag38 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 14 hours ago, Ken Gargett said: think the rams v iggles will be a big one I think you're spot on here. Again, as a long suffering Lions fan, I want nothing more than an Eagles win over LA. If Detroit does happen to get by the commanders then having another 'homecoming' for Stafford scares me.
westg Posted January 14 Posted January 14 I actually watched a game today. I can't quite figure out why they are playing football with motor bike helmets on. Anyway that player Darnold needs to come over and do a pre-season with an AFL club. He was pathetic. He will come back a better man. What a jelly fish. Some may say he wasn't protected. He had plenty of moments ball in hand where his decision making went to mush. 1

The whole Vikings team seemed to lack the intensity required to win a playoff game. Rams had it from the get go; of course it helps if the opposing QB doesn't understand the concept of throwing the ball away to avoid a sack and lost yardage. 1

Chas.Alpha Posted January 14 Posted January 14 It was like watching an episode of “Who wants to be a Millionaire” and the final question being what was the girl's name in 'Mary Had a Little Lamb', and Darnold answers “Louise!” 😔 They should probably put his agent on suicide watch. 3
Chibearsv Posted January 14 Posted January 14 I heard the comparison today between Darnold's value and the Stock Market crash of 2008 😨

Once you are dead and buried/cremated, nobody will care about your cigars. Trust me.
