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.
