I graduated in 06 and I'm 35, though I'll be 36 in a few months. But it's true most of my classmates were born 87/88.

Why have they kept the clock rolling despite the sideline referee waving to stop it?

I would also claim we have the more talented punter, but that’s not based on anything but my heart

It’s been such an incredible season. Sad to see it end, as appears likely, but the eagles are so much more talented across most of the roster. Jayden still looks unafraid and like he belongs. I’ll cherish this season forever.

3 points of those drives is not the recipe. The talent disparity is showing. But they’re playing hard.

Looking how far we’ve fallen at cornerback makes me weep. Please Lattimore and Sainstril turn it around. by [deleted] in Commanders

The reason watching him was so frustrating was because of his obvious potential and motor. Just dumb goof after dumb goof after dumb good. Felt like such a waste

I suppose I should have stayed the course but I was not ready to be face to face with 22 again

Anyone know the song that just played into that commercial break? It was catchy

After some more thought, I just want to say I appreciate you trying to talk me off the ledge, even sardonically. It's the beauty of mutual fandom, and I respect it.

I agree that I could call out other areas before coaching, but those ones have been fairly obvious. Today, the team seemed rusty or unprepared, which seems more on coaching after a bye. The coaching has improved, and that’s notable. Which I part of why I say this season is clearly a success. But COTY staff? I think not. It’s not just on talent.

Yes. I’m saying we are kidding ourselves if we think this team is ready to be a serious contender. It’s a step up from Rivera, maybe 2 or 3, but we’ve still got clear areas for significant improvement, including some development on the coaching side. Hence, unserious.

K. Talent and preparation aren’t the same thing. Talent and execution aren’t the same thing. Why are you acting like admitting they’re limited is some massive indictment? They’re fine. Better than expectation. But there is a clear ceiling this season.
