So it’s finally here Thursday night Iggles vs Cowboys!
A great way to kick off the season with a storied divisional rivalry! These teams don’t like each other and the fans follow suit! 8:20pm kickoff so you know the Philly phaithful will be all juiced up and ready to go!

Good luck to all your teams hope your season is a good one!

Fly Iggles Fly

Thanks for starting this years thread. I can't imagine anyone on the Cowgirls being excited about their season after the trade that sent their best player to Green Bay. On the other side I have a certain degree of trepidation about the Eagles season, a Superbowl hangover maybe. They'll beat Dallas on Thursday, but after that I'm not sure. On the other side of the state there's over and under on how many games until Mr Rodgers is injured and out for the season. Buffalo, Cincinnati, and KC are all big question marks with franchise QBs while everyone's on board with Lamar and the Ravens. I feel bad for Kellen Moore, a great guy and good coach stuck with the universal worst team in the league Saints.

Dak Prescott suddenly becomes the hottest fantasy qb..because the team will be throwing constantly to keep up

I'm ready for the season.
I know they have a rough schedule but I think the Giants will actually do pretty good this year (or at least not get banished from the league).
I also want to see how Daniel Jones does without an offensive line collapsing in front of him all the time.

We saw what Saquan Barkley can do

I saw about 75% of the Giants game, that was enough.
Daniel Jones was able to score some points with a decent offensive line in front of him.

The Giants and the Jets appear to be in for a long season.

The Jets were pretty good in a loss. They only lost because of one fumbled kick and 60 yard field goal. Fields threw some dimes and ran fabulously. Some very questionable play calling towards the end of the game also hurt them, but that's not the players fault. There's something to build on in the loss.

For their sake, I hope the Jets have a good season, I'd like to see them do well.
The Giants seemed like they were going to get things going but nope.

A classic case of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

as I said to the boys at the morning 'coffee clutch', now you know why #17 was voted MVP. If only the Bills head coach was as good .......

Cowboys Giants a shootout and heading to OT.

SteveFord · « **Reply #13 on:** 14 Sep 2025, 10:14 pm »

The Giants could have won that one if they didn't rack up 160 penalty yards.
Russell Wilson did show flashes of his old self, though.

Eagles / Bills get embarrassed at home.........

It's realignment Sunday, happens every year around week five.

Has anyone noticed the incredibly horribly level of incompetence by the referees? I mean way worse than normal. A defender runs into a receiver where the ball is thrown and no flag. Knocks him down and interceps the ball, no call. And on the other side looking for any little tiny infraction to throw a flag on, like the stupid taunting calls, ridiculous. Wadda ya think?

Yes in agreement about the lack of good officiating! That said the Birds got away from their usual ball control in the 4th quarter. Passing the ball at a time when the latter might have been better?

Even through there have been a few clues over the past few weeks, it's still surprising that the Eagles lost to the Broncos, the Ravens lost to the Texans, the Bills lost to the Patriots, and the Chiefs lost to the Jaguars all on the same weekend. They were the top four teams in Power Rankings entering Week 1.

Yep, just one more reason why I haven't watched a complete game in years. Got home from shooting clays Sunday, great weather, spent the rest of the day outside. IMO, professional sports is nothing but a business. Like my father always said, 'when in doubt, follow the money' .........
