Derrick Henry’s 238 rush yds on 17 carries including a 99 yd TD run last night for the Titans!

 
Despite overcoming horrible officiating, then losing to the Cowboys in overtime 29-23, someone bothered to calculate that the Eagles still have a roughly 5% chance at making the playoffs. 😐
 
Since the Rams lost to the Bears the other night, the Saints are in position to win the conference and home field advantage through the playoffs. But there’s still 3 games left to play. (including the Steelers in 2 weeks)

Cheer for the Eagles this week when they play the Rams in L.A. Sunday night. 😄
 
I’m buying myself a Christmas present of a Baker Mayfield jersey. He’s on his way to being the next Bernie Kosar. I haven’t seen Browns fans this happy in years.

(I’m sorry about the Eagles. Last year with them was pretty magical. I still like Pederson. Waiting to see how they do against Rams. )

Oh man. My Broncos need a new coach, and eli as qb. They will get neither.
Go Dallas, go Steelers, go Pat’s!
Seattle and San Fran and raiders should all be taken out of the NFL.
 
Nope. Just two horrible teams from two horrible cities with horrible fans…you know.

Good job, Eagles. Way to go Nick Foles!

Wentz is so over.

WOOHOO, thanks for all the cheers! Nobody gave them a chance to go out there and beat the Rams with they way they’ve been playing. But much credit goes to our Super Bowl LII Most Valuable Player & yes, backup QB Nick Foles!! (as strange as that sounds 😆)

It was TOTALLY unexpected, but now the Saints have a little more breathing room to win the conference, and the Eagles miraculously still alive with a shot at the playoffs, but need help.

Every Eagles fan I know will be glued to the TV tonight and cheering hard for the Saints to beat the Panthers. We need the Saints to win at least one of those two games. (preferably both) And the Eagles need to buckle down and get well prepared for the Texans next Sunday!

But lots of other interesting games as well over the weekend. Steelers beat the Pats, Titans shutout the Giants, Browns beat the Broncos, etc. etc.

And only a couple weeks left!
 
Stick a fork in the 🦁. They’re done – mathematically eliminated from playoff contention after blowing a close one to the Bills yesterday.

I know, it’s hilarious isn’t it? 😀

I was bummed that somebody recently painted over the Foles portrait stencil graffitied onto the entrance to 676 west by the Cathedral.

Horrible cities?

I lived in the Greater Seattle Area for a couple years. Seattle is at least a fun city to visit. Personally, though, I prefer the Eastside. Kirkland and Bellevue are really nice towns to spend a day in. Redmond has some nice trails, and Woodinville is fantastic for wine touring. Outside the cities themselves, the surrounding area is beautiful and offer a lot of outdoor activities.

Now I live in the Bay Area. I can’t really comment on Oakland, but outside of traffic (granted, the drivers are among the best I’ve seen), the area is really nice. Santa Clara, where the 49ers stadium actually is, is a really beautiful town with a wonderful Marian shrine not far from the stadium. Other Bay Area cities like San Jose and Mountain View are also really beautiful, and the little I’ve been able to experience so far of San Francisco itself is pretty nice. I still need to make more trips into that city, though.
 
We lived in issaquah when my wife attended Seattle university. Such a beautiful area. The people though. Yikes!
 
That reminds me, I keep saying the Saints can win the conference. But what I mean is they can be the #1 seed in the conference with home field playoff advantage, etc. The conference winner goes to the Super Bowl after winning the conference title game. Hope I didn’t cause any confusion. 🙂

Last night’s Saints win over the Panthers gave the Eagles a little boost. For them to make the playoffs now they must beat the Texans this Sunday, then the Redskins the following week. And the Vikings must lose one of their remaining games to either the Lions or Bears, then the Eagles are in.

If the Eagles lose to the Texans, then the Panthers have to lose another game, the Vikings have to lose both games to the Lions and Bears (unlikely), and the Eagles have to beat the Redskins.

Yeah, Seattle isn’t known for friendliness, with the whole “Seattle Freeze” and everything. I’d imagine it can be especially jarring if coming from the South or Midwest, which going by your name, I’m guessing you’re from the latter. That said, I never met anyone who was mean, either.
