is the game on a local channel tomorrow or NFLN only?  I thought all cable games were offered to the team's local stations (which they always buy).
Local as well I think it's a CBS game

I assume a local will have it

ETA: although I'm not finding any word of that happening. I don't have NFL Network. That would suck if they don't put it on a local.

yeah, NFLN is all I see anywhere.  I actually do have it now, fortunately, though I always like to know all the options and also found it very strange that there was no local listed anywhere. 

 
i think that it will stream on yahoo and nfl apps.

best other option is probably to grab  a 7 day trial of sling or fubo and can watch on roku or computer (or find a stream, or course)

I can do those options and I'm sure the 100 or so Jags fans that tube in will be used to this. A lot of old timer eagles fans living in South Philly are going to be pissed this isn't on 3, 6, 10 or 29 or even 17.

1 of 100 is coming thru for you

@RobTornoe: Tomorrow morning's #Eagles game from London will also air on @6abc. Here's why. http://www2.philly.com/philly/sports/eagles/eagles-game-time-jaguars-channel-stream-nfl-schedule-rich-eisen-michael-irvin-nfl-network-6abc-20181027.html

 
Prevent D. Again. Seriously -has that much changed since last year? Scheme? Personnel? They can’t tackle. Can’t create turnovers. Just let the QB play pitch and catch 

 
A win is a win but they have a lot to work on. So many injuries too. Bye couldn't have come at a better time.
Lets hope some of these guys can come back healthy. Jason Peters needed the bye too. We also have the Trade Deadline this week so any new player brought in gets an extra week to learn the system.

yes, a lot has changed personnel-wise, especially due to injuries.  secondary has been riddled with injuries and the DL has changed a fair amount due to injuries and players let go.

Yep, brutal.  Any other QB in the league likely would have won that game against us on one of those final drives.

 
We need to make some trades to help the roster.  Oline, cb, rb, wr should be priorities

Thought the boys were solid today....not great, but solid. Jacksonville was a desperate team and seemed to play hard. Injuries still piling up, bye coming at a perfect time. Wentz looks fantastic. This will be a dangerous team in the second half of the season.

 
You guys think this Adams kid could take over this backfield? Or at least 1st and 2nd down?

Adams played well.

IMO we need Bell. 

He'll create match up problems.

Don't get me wrong I love Adams but he isn't ready.

We need a back that can stay in for 60% of the snaps.

Doesn't mean we pound Bell to submission.

He only needs about 20 touches a game to make a difference.

Our problem besides injuries is that we are somewhat predictable based on blocking personnel.

Will Bell in the backfield the defense will always account for him on passing downs.

Look at Smallwoods screen for TD.

The defense wasn't even scheming for that play, he was wide open.

Clement is a receiving threat.

Smallwood is running threat.

Adams is a rookie so pass protection is subject.

WE NEED A DUEL THREAT RB!!!

I vote for Bell.

 
Smallwood is going to get Wentz killed on a passing play in one of these games, his pass protection and blitz pickup are non-existent. Don't know how they keep sticking him out there in those situations.

 
And Bell isn't happening.  I wouldn't mind a McCoy trade if it's cheap, we giving up a 2nd for 1/2  a year rental in Bell is dumb. 

 
Anyone have any insight as to why clement didn’t play more?   He can at least pass protect


That's one of the big mysteries imo.  Has to be some kind of lingering injury, right?
Really not sure.  They asked Doug at his presser today and he avoided it and just praised what Clement has done and how important he is to the team.  They were clearly wanting him to talk about why he wasn't getting more touches but he just said how great he's been for them. 

 
Counting the bye he misses 5 games 
Not sure it will be that long.  If it turns out to be 4 weeks, that's only 2 missed games (would be out from Oct 29-Nov 25). 

Missing 5 games would mean he's out until Dec 16th's game. 

I think the most likely is he misses 3-4 games and returns Week 13 (Dec 3 vs the Skins) or Week 14 (Dec 9th vs the Cowboys)

 
Somewhat overlooked, but Adams had a nice game. 9-68?  If he figures it out maybe he takes that Ajayi/Blount role?  Obviously lighter then Blount ( but so are 90% of backs).  Still a big dude.

 
How's Seumalo been doing? Haven't heard his name much, which is good. Need him to step up imo, 3 mil savings on the cap if we cut Wiz.  We might need that $$.

Pederson flat out said today Adams has the Blount role.

 
Cool moment for me at London's Heathrow Airport yesterday..I was at the gate ready for my flight back and noticed Brent Celek was on our flight He was being held up for some reason by a customs officer. He kept looking at his phone and getting frustrated. They weren't letting him in. I could see him trying to explain something to them and then pointing to his phone. I walked over and asked if everything was ok. He asked if I had a phone signal, which I did. He said I would be a lifesaver if he could make a phone call. I handed in my phone and he was able to make his call and I stood there for about 5 minutes while he was on my phone.  By this time a bunch of people recognized him (the flight was mostly eagles fans returning from the game) and were taking his picture. Which I will probably be in since I was standing about 5 feet away from him. LOL Anyway, Celek gave me my phone back and gave me one of those handshake shoulder bump pat-the-back hugs and said I really got him out of a jam.  Great experience across the pond. The whole week was awesome and Eagle fans really represented at the stadium.

So what percentage of the stadium would you say was Eagles Fans? Jag Fans? Misc. fans of random teams?

If I had to guess, I'd say 40% Eagles fans, 30% Jaguars fans, 30% Englanders just wanting to watch American football.   During the week leading up to the game, I saw countless people in Eagles gear all over London.  I thought it was going to be 75% Eagles fans in the stadium.  Then , while talking to a Londoner, he explained that they don't normally see a lot of Jaguars fans following the team there from the states, but that a lot of native Londoners have adopted the Jags as their home team.

Cool. Glad you had a great trip. I am meeting my brother in New Orleans in November to watch the Saints-Eagles game.

good at run blocking, not as good at pass blocking. Hasn't been horrendous though

and my kid picked a bad day to be sick. I am sitting here checking all this stuff for NFL trade deadline, and pretty sure it will be a dud since it has been so hyped. My thought is teams that are selling get these ideas and ask for more than they should.
