**Dallas at Philadelphia**(-8.5, 48.5) 8:20 NFL Kickoff on NBC (2 Viewers)

[boilerdave]

What a pisser. I'm gonna go take a shower.

We'll alert the media.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

So when do they start cutting off booze in the stadium?

An hour ago if they were smart. The spitting will seem tame in comparison if the booze is flowing during an hour weather delay in this game.

 

[Ilov80s]

It sucks but just a few months ago a soccer player was killed by a lightning strike in Peru. So this is obviously better. They kept playing with the storm coming in and they finally decided to call it for the weather when they saw lightning in the area but as the players were leaving the field, one of them was struck.

 

[miqws]

FIO 11:15 was mentioned, then 12 minute warmup

 

[Terpman22]

This generation and time period could never handle Brian Dawkins.

 

[DJackson10]

Per Scheftar game could resume by 11:30 per nbcsports Mike Tirico per Scheftar

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

That was a BS call..

Yeah it looked like he tried to hold back.

Nothing he could’ve done there. Refs need to use better judgement there.

Doesn’t matter. If you’re late like that you have to play the ball or pull up. You can’t hit the receiver in the head.

prob alot of eagles fans that don't want the penalty to happen

 

[DJackson10]

It’s only 7:40 and I work from my garage (hard to drive the bus from there and all but) so I got plenty of time

I off tomorrow. I’m only PO’d I don’t have any beer to down

 

[Ministry of Pain]

What a crime to suspend this game over a few Thunderstorms in the area
-This blows but it's not th 4th Q yet, the fans can load up on beer before the players return
4th Q will start after Midnight?

A crime?!

Against Humanity or NFL fans on their couch at home, yes

agree. my oonly hope is that they do resume play and not stop the game like they did last year

He’s not LeBron or the dodgers so ESPN doesn’t care

You tell them.

Yup that's what I was thinking (especially with these 2 fanbases).

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Thank God this is a Thursday game. This stupid spitting incident is gonna be almost the entire narrative for a week, until something happens tomorrow or Sunday.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

…

Per Scheftar

is that like Temu Adam Schefter?

I'm not staying up for this. Good night all.

Jalen Carter's final stat line for the night...

0 Tackles
0 Snaps played
1 Loogie
1 Ejection

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

The dude basically fell in front of him when he’s trying to close at max speed.

Get what it looked like. But another terrible call. These need to be reviewable.

You are loud wrong on that one. Even I, this board cro-magnon thinks there is no place for stuff like that.

Stuff like what?

He’s a safety coming to make a play with his shoulder and the guy basically crumbled to the ground as he arrives which is the only reason the contact was in the head/neck area.

Not that it matters but my dad was a D1 safety. I played DB in high school. I’ve made that play. It happens really fast. So that’s my bias.

Agree to disagree. That’s a bad call.

You can call it a bad rule.

Maybe.

Full disclosure, when I played I would have leveled him and slept well that night.


Tonight I say that I was wrong.

 

[DJackson10]

This generation and time period could never handle Brian Dawkins.

They couldn’t handle most of the 90s. Heck they couldn’t handle Jordan Rules NBA. I had a young coworker (no longer there) was talking to me about current nba. I told him check out some nba action from late 80s to mid 90s anything with Chi, Knicks, Celtics, pistons, lakers Sonic’s, start of spurs dynasty. He came back to me a few days later saying he wished the nba was still like that. Sent a huge shock to his system.

What a f****** loser way to open the season as a champion. Utter and complete dirtbag move and I really hate him in this moment for it. The team should deactivate him for another game.

 

[DJackson10]

Someone will do something stupid on Saturday

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Uh oh lightning miles away. LIGHTNING!

Literally in the next state over. OMG WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE

Next state is like 4 miles down the road. But yes this is stupid.

Beggin’ your pardon sir, the stadium is exit 17 on I-95.

Blah blah not a straight line, I get it, but come the F on with this.

NJ is less than 4 miles from the stadium, Mr. Delaware-centric.

Mike floria reported there could be a suspension from the league for it.

 

[DJackson10]

the GOAT of nba is in philly

Per scheftar

Michael Jordan was spotted at tonight’s Cowboys-Eagles regular-season opener and he is believed to be there as a guest of Philadelphia QB Jalen Hurts, who is wearing new Air Jordan 11 “Love Hurts” sneakers and who did the MJ shrug after his first touchdown of the game.

 

[Terpman22]

That drive up 95 is wild when you first start getting near Philly and there are legit homes like RIGHT ON THE freeway. I always preferred flying into Philly then driving thru DE to visit my folks down on the Eastern Shore.

Speakint of which my folks tell me crab prices are just INSANE right now, is it true?

Grew up watching that age of football, while it was entertaining... I think we can understand why the rules are different.

Also, wouldn't matter if the penalty was reviewable. I don't see how they'd overturn it, based on what the league is trying to accomplish, in terms of player safety. Hah, you cant even slap the QB in the head, as an edge rusher.

By player safety I mean, lawsuit payouts.

In his defense you can only take so much of this 4 person disaster.

 

[dmac37]

I know everyone seems to hate Collinsworth, I do not agree. What I don't understand is his son being on the broadcast, does not seem to offer anything. I feel Rodney is like WTF, why is this silver spoon here.

Won't happen, the defense sucks without him. Who knows what other punishment they might come up with.

1 word and you hit the nail on the head

Money

The NFL doesn’t •really• care. They just don’t want to lose money whether it be lawsuits or the new lady fan that can’t tolerate the violence (or crave it?) like some of us dudes.

 

[DJackson10]

Proof The NBA is in Philly

 

[Terpman22]

I know everyone seems to hate Collinsworth, I do not agree. What I don't understand is his son being on the broadcast, does not seem to offer anything. I feel Rodney is like WTF, why is this silver spoon here.

He definitely roots against the Eagles at every chance he gets.

Whats sad is they did it to themselves and us. They paid doctors to lie and fessed up to it. Its no surprise, the NFL hasnt done much right in decades.

NJ is less than 4 miles from the stadium, Mr. Delaware-centric.

this would hit harder if I didn’t actually live in Burlington County. The next time a weather pattern comes west from NJ into Philly we’ll call it “Sandy’s Revenge”.

Doesn’t matter. If you’re late like that you have to play the ball or pull up. You can’t hit the receiver in the head.

Problem comes when receivers go down to catch the ball, giving defenders no target area at all when they are flying in trying to make a play. It's tough, and they're gonna call that 9 times in 10, but we dont have to like it, and it certainly isnt dirty

LOL Mike Florio “reported his opinion” or does he have a source. This is what he and most guys like him do these days just “Hey this might happen!”

They figured out offense keeps the casual fans interested and boosts revenue. Also, no lawsuits is even better for the bank account.

I remember talking to former players who called this bs by nfl. There was a report where players told defebsive players go for head because I’d rather beable to walk or don’t be afraid to aim high and offering to pay the players fine. Most said if nfl have a dam on player safety, they’d offer better options for retired players in terms of health and invest in better safer equipment but they don’t want to do that. NFL does the bare minimum as for legal purposes they can’t be sued.
