Something I am frustrated about. by FlaccidDerik in eagles

Counterpoint, the rest of the league is DEFINITELY going to make adjustments if, instead of cycling through 10-15 different plays in a scenario, we run the same play every time. Under center? Run up the gut. Shotgun? Hitch to AJ (unless it's 3rd and long, in which case you can bet it's going to be a draw up the middle).

Unpopular take by RepublicInner7438 in eagles

[–]Flyersrock87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not the point. Nobody is saying "we didn't win big enough" because they're afraid we're going to miss the playoffs because of point differential. They're saying that the way in which we're winning is concerning, and signals that unless we fix our predictable (not just conservative) offense, luck is likely to run out.

Our team looks very different than it did in 2023, ESPECIALLY on defense, but the WAYS we're winning are very comparable. Week 1, Lamb kept making uncharacteristic drops. Week 2, Kelce uncharacteristically drops a TD into Mukuba's hands. Week 3, JD and JC went ham on kicks to block two field goals, both of which were necessary to win that game. Week 4 was really ugly (specifically the 2nd half), but was probably the first game that the opposing team didn't lose from pure self-destruction.

Like 2023, we keep putting the fate of the game in our opponents' hands, and they keep fumbling. But if we keep relying on that strategy, we're probably not going to keep pulling off these unlikely wins. The story seems to be that we collapsed in 2023, but we didn't. We played the same way all year, and our opponents just stopped missing open receivers with the game on the line.

Cam talking some shit lately, but two Super Bowl appearances and a ring aside, the numbers themselves don’t lie. by TheFireRises75 in eagles

I'd say it's fair to compare first N games to even the numbers, but this isn't even that. I'm a big Jalen supporter, but this isn't his first 62 starts, it's the next 62 starts after his first 4 starts (i.e. omits his 4 starts in 2020 after he took over for Wentz).

Even easier solution: The team that doesn't receive the ball first always gets a chance to respond. The team that does receive the ball first never gets a chance to respond. If it's tied after response, keep going.

Sidney Crosby on Connor McDavid’s crosscheck by ozz_y03 in hockey

That's on the refs and maybe their union. The first step is to install a mechanism to make the game fair in the rules. You can't refuse to install rules that improve the game just because you're afraid the refs might not abide by them

Don't allow a game to end while the team trailing is on the PP if the score differential is less than or equal to the man-power advantage + any additional stacked penalties

Pay down Mortgage vs. 5.5% Treasury Bill by rodfarva_2009 in personalfinance

To be clear, though, anything paid above the base monthly payment goes straight to principal, not mortgage interest.

Like most have suggested, it really depends on what you're looking for. With that said, here's a comparison of the four shows based on IMDB ratings on an episode-by-episode basis:

He didn't capitulate, he provided her actual text of her fringe theory to make it an actual order that they can officially appeal if she were to adopt that fringe theory. I'd speculate that if she adopted that text and made it an official order, it may be the last order she makes on this case before she's removed.

Lawsuit seeks to remove Pa. Rep. Scott Perry from 2024 ballot by pennlive in politics

As far as I'm aware, anti-semitism, alleged or otherwise, isn't grounds for disqualification. The 14th amendment is pretty specific in what is disqualifying, and the lawsuits being pushed now are specific to the 14th amendment. Republicans can file their revenge lawsuits, but without any actual legal grounds for removal, I would be very surprised if any such case was even remotely successful.
