The 2017 NFL Season Thread

[MartyS (Gromit)]

I've got the radio on listening to an interview with Brian Dawkins that just got inducted into the hall of fame.  Way better than the always lame halftime show.

[RVR II]

OMG!! Fumble and the Eagles could go all the way!!!

[MartyS (Gromit)]

Eagles need a first down and then it's over....

[MartyS (Gromit)]

well, now they need to stop the pats from getting a touchdown and 2 points.....

[RVR II]

YEAH!!! EAGLES WIN

[MartyS (Gromit)]

That was one to remember, holy crap!

[RVR II]

That was one to remember, holy crap!

Yes it was! That trick play with Foles catching a TD was awesome 

[RVR II]

Oh yeah and WTF was Chris Collinsworth whining & crying about non-TDs & incomplete passes that were not
We were all yelling at the tv to for him to STFU and quit your belly-aching

[MartyS (Gromit)]

So glad they had the radio synced up to the TV, so I didn't hear any of that, I like Al but Cris is always a whiner.

The calls by Merrill Reese were great.

The one he took several steps after the catch, that makes him a runner so crossing the plane was all he had to do.  Just because the NFL made a bad call in the Steelers game doesn't mean that becomes the new rule.

Saw a car on it's side on the news, things are getting rowdy in Philly.

[MartyS (Gromit)]

Oh, and how about our rookie kicker breaking the record for longest Superbowl field goals by a rookie, twice.

And he started the year with a 62 yard game winning kick that set the NFL all time record for a rookie.

[RVR II]

Yeah you guys got an awesome kicker! 
Those were perfect shots!

Just getting up so I need to catch up on the fan mayhem.. Keep it classy folks

[MartyS (Gromit)]

Looking at the news it seems some store windows were smashed but no reports of looting.
A few cars tipped over.
Several traffic light poles snapped off from people climbing on them and a report of one person hurt from that.
And people climbing on awnings in front of hotels caused at least one collapse but no reports of people hurt from that.

Rumor is the parade will be Wednesday, but the weather is going to be terrible Tuesday-Thursday so who knows.  When the Phillies won the world series they say 2 million people were at that parade, Eagles parade is likely to be much bigger.

[RVR II]

Wow that's crazy!

Yeah they need to do the parade on a day that's not a wintry mess..

[MartyS (Gromit)]

The parade is set for Thursday, will go from the stadium to the art museum.

Looks like the bookies in Las Vegas were not too happy for lots of reasons, the Eagles winning, and all the records that were set.  Very cool that the odds of Foles making a touchdown were 8:1, they lost on that...
