I’m not sure if this post is acceptable but I’m sure I’ll find out soon 😂 I’m going to my first NFL game this Sunday (eagles/panthers) any suggestion on what to wear to stay warm? It’s a high of 45 but I’ve heard it’s colder in the Linc (plus the shade won’t help matters). I’m a female btw! Any suggestions would be appreciated 😊

Let's go back to Day 2 of the draft. The whole time, Howie and company were trying to work their trades to time it just right so they could move up to grab DeJean, knowing there were teams eyeing him besides us. We considered Carolina at 39, but ultimately were negotiating with Washington at 40...until Jeffrey Lurie himself noticed that the Rams had jumped to 39. We thought that was it.

Luckily for us, the Rams weren't even considering DeJean. I watched the Rams draft video as well (worth a watch just to see how Braden Fiske and Jared Verse reacted to becoming teammates again), and they were eyeing that tandem on Day 1. Once they grabbed Verse, they zeroed in on Fiske.

Link to Rams video (should start on Day 2 when they're talking about how to move up to get Fiske)

As soon as we found out the Rams took Fiske, Howie swung the trade with Washington (with some hard-balling on both sides). It's a great move, because the Packers were sitting at 41 waiting for DeJean to fall to them. The instant we took DeJean, the Packers traded back with the Saints.

Our boys might be in the conversation for the best two DBs in football right now, which is F**KING WILD, but if you could only take one to build your defense around, who ya got?

So glad we don't have to choose 🥰

DeJean said “we planned this celebration”. Has anyone definitively figured out what this means?

While I like that Baun gets recognition, what are these people smoking? The Eagles drop a spot while the Ravens stay the same. This is some Eagles hate here.

EDIT: ESPN Power Rankings - Week 14

I thought I had added the link, oops.

• Signed a MVP candidate in Saquon
• Hired a defensive mastermind in Fangio
• Signed an All-Pro level LB in Baun for pennies
• Drafted not one, but TWO DROTY contenders in Mitchell and Dejean
• Extended 2 All-Pro receivers in Brown and Smith
• Extended a Pro Bowl level G in Dickerson and S in Blankenship
• Signed a heartbeat of the defense in CJGJ
• Drafted another early contributor in Hunt
• Hired a pretty good OC in Moore

Only things you can quibble with are of course Huff’s underperformance, though he’s not even on a huge contract, and Dotson, though he’s been more than fine as a 7th option.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is it possible to clinch next week? I know this is jumping the gun a bit here since we still have 5 games left to play, I’m just curious.
