Never understand these takes. If "A" then "B". Both teams have to play in the rain, and rain doesn't automatically disqualify a team. Maybe Brock has a better game next time it wet, he's not made out of flour.

Rain helps both defenses, and our defense is (statistically) better than theirs. So that should be a wash.

I'm more worried about the refs.

The trick there is you gotta separate so that one whistle against you can't decide the game
also be ready this time for the quick challenge, they have a protocol for going quick if the play is in question, as we observed

Agree on Kyle having to be prepared for the refs (including having a spotting system) so that he's not caught flat-footed on any ref challenges. This is one game where Kyle being both HC *and* OC might hurt him in processing any referee challenges.

The rain might be a blessing in that Kyle may be forced to keep it on the ground offensively, which is the Eagles (statistical) weakness, instead of airing it out like last time and getting his QB injured.

PHI can do everything pretty well, not necessarily a rhythm short pass game, but they run like a slegehammer, and Hurts plays a big role there,
then two elite deep threat WRs,

on the PHI push play, I noticed vs BUF, all the PHI team is pushing yet not all the BUF team is pushing. Some on BUF are containment just watching the play, you gotta get all in there and push to match what PHI is doing, it's a front line being pushed by a back line
if they want to run something else out of that front, let em do it, no need for contain, got to stuff the push to get em off the field

Agree 💯% regarding their offense in that they can run it and pass it. They are a potent offense. They will have home field advantage as an offense, and can call plays that Kyle may not becuase of the crowd noise. I have the feeling its going to be the team which scores last - wins - kind of game.

There's no take to it. This team offensively has not played well in the rain. The entire offense.

Not directed at you personally but honestly F&*K the rain. It is what it is. If the team has a loser mentality over the weather they arent meant to be champions anyway. Rain will affect both teams the same.
might be the biggest regular season game of all time

So can we.. And I don't think it will be who scores last like many of their other games because we will be ahead by two TDs.

Some of the 90s games vs Dallas were big but I believe this is the BIGGEST game we've faced in yonks !

We lost back to back NFFCGs to DAL, so in '94, that game was a MUST WIN! We had Deion, we had Waters. But that game was at home. This is on the road.
