    Flights to philly that weekend are not prohibitive for what would be a spur of the moment impulse act 😀. Appreciate LA may present challenges and I have to consider that I'm a lone traveller, too, wherever the game is held. The way I see it, it remains a possibility right up until the point...

    Absolutely is, thanks. Figured this might be the case, but wanted to do my due diligence.

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    Putting this here as it is very much a thought, with many hypotheticals at play. In the event that the JD5 effect is too powerful for the Lions to withstand, what process, if any, exists for an away fan who is not a season ticket holder to obtain a ticket for the NFC Championship Game through...

    Next Day Thread: Pewing the Pewter Pirates

    Because of timezone differences I didn't get to watch the game until lunchtime today and had to have it on condensed mode. Definitely loses some of the emotional impact as well as missed calls and things that happen between downs, but that was still a fun ride. Once the Bucs gave us the ball...

    Saw this posted on reddit and thought I'd share it here. Interesting read: https://open.substack.com/pub/golongtd/p/inside-dan-quinns-total-transformation?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

    Not sure if this is legitimate, but I saw something about Miami being chosen as the "home" team for the Madrid game, so that would definitely be in play if true. Couldn't find anything for Berlin. UK games can be ruled out, which is a shame for me as Tottenham is super convenient. I would...

    Tell the Truth Monday- Playoff Edition

    My truth: this is a flawed team that has been playing ugly football for several weeks. In the playoffs, flaws get exposed and are the death of a team. Also true: the best teams find a way to win even the games they have no right winning. Give this team even the smallest window of opportunity...

    2024/2025 Playoff Standings

    I have numerous US colleagues, including team mates and even a direct report, but they generally do not play spoiler. In the 14 or so years I've been able to watch games on Sky/Gamepass I've only once had the outcome of the late championship game given away, by a well-meaning UK colleague. Risk...

    2024/2025 Playoff Standings

    It'll be worse once we start getting the later slot for the NFC Championship Games ;) Might try and watch it as a game in 40 on my lunch break so that I only have to go half a day without knowing.

    Next Day Thread: Dirty Work, Dirty Bird

    Entertaining though that is, I'm a heartless bastard. I need to see what happened next when the realisation sets in. Then the whole of the OT period. I like my enemies to suffer and enjoy no smell more than that of their lamentations.

    Next Day Thread: Dirty Work, Dirty Bird

    What a game. Frustrating? Yes! Nerve wracking? Definitely. Like last week (drop on 3rd down following the late INT), needed an untimely missed play (the FG) to give JD5 one more opportunity to show his magic. I honestly believed he would do it on the last drive in regulation. That he didn't, for...

    Tell the Truth Monday- Playoff Edition

    Biggest issue in it not working, I felt, was a consistent failure to get pressure on Penix. Especially showed up on the TD drive.

    Official Game Thread - Week 17 - Falcons @ Commanders - SNF

    Which part(s) of India are your family from? My father's family are from the Punjab, but I don't have strong ties there as the parts of the family I am close to are all UK-based.

    Official Game Thread - Week 17 - Falcons @ Commanders - SNF

    Even longer since the team had more than 10 wins on the season. It would be nice to win out. That way the extra game doesn't become a factor in exceeding the 10 win mark. I don't expect an easy ride here. Penix wasn't revelatory last week and the opposition was much weaker, but allowing rookie...

    I am really looking forward to watching this when sky sports' exclusivity expires later on today. So happy to stick it to the Eagles for once. Their fans can bitch and moan about not having Hurts, but at the same time were lording it over 49ers fans for winning in the '22 NFCCG against a team...

    Tell the Truth Sunday- Philadelphia Eagles Edition

    My truth is that the downside of my team being good is that between prime time match ups and Sky Sports showing games more frequently (such as this week), I'm going to be able to watch fewer games live. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make!

    Do We Rest The Starters vs Dallas

    There's a strange inconsistency to your logic, sir. You speak of championship team mindsets. Then you talk of losing strategies for various reasons, or of aiming to avoid certain teams in the playoffs. Champions don't give a damn about who they play, because champions go into every game...
