I thought they weren’t good enough to beat the Washington’s much less Dallas. At least I think I saw that somewhere.

For those keeping track of Stanford Tight Ends in the NFL, Kaden Smith has two touchdowns including the game winner.

Don't know if I actually posted it here, but I thought Dallas would roll Philly.  Dallas is so talented that I wanted them to lose (of course, I pretty much always am good with the Cowboys losing).  I don't envy either Seattle or SF having to beat the Cowboys in Jerry's World.  And call me crazy, while the Eagles should win the division now . . . I wouldn't put it past them to lose to the Giants next weekend.

We shall see . . .

I had a brother in law from Plano, TX.  Stanford grad, Marine pilot and a really great guy.  But he, like many Texans, had a fixation on the Cowboys.  He once told me that he felt that it was important for America that the Cowboys have a good team.  Well, okay.  I don't know that it's important for America that the 49ers have a good team (or important to Hades that the Raiders have a good team, heh heh) but the Republic should stand regardless.

For my son's second birthday, he sent him a full Troy Aikman jersey, complete with pads and a helmet.  I waited until he had a full-on, full-scale temper tantrum meltdown in that uniform; then I took a picture and sent it to him with the inscription "Looks just like Troy Aikman..."

At any rate, it tickles me to no end that the Cowboys haven't been in the Super Bowl since 1996.  Landry, Jimmie and Barry were their last great coaches...

Just like how it's important for America that the Yankees and Lakers have good teams and how it's important for Canada that the Maple Leafs have a good team. Now excuse me, I have to go barf like a Stanford player doing bear crawls back in 2006.

And just like the haircuts on ESPN insist that the PAC-12- and college football, really - need $C to be a powerhouse for the world to be set right. Yecccchh!

I’ve always said that my three favorite NFL teams are the 49ers, the Packers (grew up in Wisconsin, what can I say?), and whoever is playing Dallas this week. They were the team in the 60s that the Wisconsin me loved to hate, and the team in the 80s and 90s that the California me loved to hate. See no reason to change that attitude. I think my biggest gripe is the way they think they’re “America’s team.” To quote CI: yeccch!

Best quote in the article:

"A lacerated kidney is obviously a major injury, as organ damage would be a concern. That said, Ertz hasn’t been ruled out for next week if the Eagles make the playoffs, according to Rapoport."

And the 9-7 Eagles did make the playoffs.  Yikes.  Ertz will play playoff football one week after a kidney laceration?

The Eagles were absolute trash for most of that game. After JJAW left it late, they were down to just one WR. The fact they still won in OT as they did says as much about the Giants as the Eagles.

What would give anyone any reason to think they will beat the Redskins next week?

Since this post was written, the Eagles are 3-0 and clinched a spot in the playoffs, as winners of the NFC East (an admittedly trashy division).  Not bad for a team that is missing its top three receivers, an all pro tight end, their right tackle, and who lost their starting running back and right guard to injury today.

Hopefully not! However, if the doctors clear him to play, you can be sure that he will. We should all hope the doctors don't clear him. It would be questionable for him to play under any circumstances, but with all the other injuries the Eagles have, he would for sure be a major focus of the offense if he is on the field. That means lots of hits.

He lacerated his kidney on November 8, the Colts' ninth game of the season. The headlines said he would be out 2-6 weeks. He didn't return for that season.

if the Eagles make Zach play when he has a lacerated kidney, then i will be horribly disappointed in their organization.
but i doubt that will happen.
