No. I say that because the worst part of the storm would be gone from my area, and by Sunday will likely just be rain showers for other areas. I also don't see anything from the NFL saying the storm will effect any of the games. And thanks. I've had my share of rain in the last few weeks.

My late father had Parkinson's disease for years but medication controlled it very well. It wasn't severe like Michael J. Fox's illness. In the end, it was my Dad's heart that gave out.I wouldn't wish the disease on anyone, though. At least Brett Favre can afford the health care he will need.

I've wondered about this. Philly plays in Tampa, and they had some flooding. The stadium was also an emergency relief center. My in-laws are in Tampa, but they're too dumb, self-absorbed, and disconnected to give a clear picture of the state of things in the city. (Sounds harsh, but you'd understand if you talked to them. So dumb. So self-absorbed. 🤦🏻♂️) There's no way the field can be in good shape after such a storm. I hope all the players emerge without injuries. Both teams are already plagued with injuries. Philly will be playing without WR1, WR2, WR3/KR/PR, and RT. That's 2 All Pros, 3 Pro Bowlers, and one Pro Bowl alternate (who probably deserved to make the roster). It's going to be ugly. Tampa is missing Clancy and Vea. I hope their absences help Philly's ground game. I also hope we don't exhaust or injure Barkley while trying to survive these crippling injuries to our WR. I was annoyed when the schedulers put Philly's bye in week 5. Now, it turns out that we really need it. It will still suck to not have more rest late in the season, but we really need it now.

Sorry to hear about inclement weather down south. Hope everyone, fans and players alike, stay safe. And yeah, heard about Farve and Parkinson’s disease. Not a particularly well liked in Wisconsin anymore, for obvious reasons, but never want to see someone fall ill. At least there’s always Paul Allen’s ‘this is not Detroit man this is the Super Bowl!’ to fondly look back on.
Speaking of the Vikings… time to consult a witch doctor and pray the annual blow out doesn’t happen to my Packers this time around… at least save it for the away game, since splitting with the Vikings is inevitable as death and taxes these days.

Minnesota's defense is really impressive. I've been watching a lot of their film these last two weeks. As an Eagles fan, it's been a long time since I've seen all 11 guys so efficiently fill their assignments. 😭 Flores has them playing great.
I feel like Darnold will crap the bed when he faces consistent pressure, but we'll see. Kevin O'Connell is doing amazing things with their offense. I've thought very highly of him for several years. He really maximizes talent.
Love will have to be much better than he was in Week 1.

Been awhile since that's happened. Love does well against the blitz but I'm worried for him, that this is his first game back. Part of me would've preferred the Rams, ha. My one hope is that most o-lines the Minnesota defense has come against have been anywhere from bad to just okay, and Packers o-line is pretty good when they're not giving away boneheaded penalties.

Washington is a surprise at 3-1 so far. I might need to actually tune in now. I just hope this new regime can restore the franchise back to relevance cause the Snyder era really killed my interest lol.
Hope everyone is well with the storm, I heard the Carolina’s were just wrecked badly by it.

Philly's terrible. 😭😆 I'm unburdening myself here now so I don't have to ride the yo-yo of "will they/won't they win this week". I have zero expectations for this season. I'll simply watch week-to-week.
I expected a rough start, given that they have two new coordinators. If you'd told me AJ Brown would miss two games and Lane Johnson, DeVonta Smith, and Britain Covey would all miss 1½ (Covey is on IR), I'd have thought 2-2 was passable. So, it's not the record, but the way they lost today.
Defensively, they are the same team that finished 1-6 in their last seven games of last season. They have no heart. They don't even attempt proper run fits. They don't tackle. They can't cover. They're terrible at the fundamentals of football, and I can't understand why. They looked completely ill prepared to play. Fangio was supposed to improve upon that, but today he looked as bad as anything from last year. He's called one good game in four.
Jalen finally broke his 8-game streak of at least one interception, but he still lost a fumble. It was sort of his fault, but not as egregious as most of his TOs. He was trying to stay in the pocket to make a throw, rather than bailing early. I get it. It was a poor decision, but at least he's trying to stay in the pocket.
Without Lane Johnson, the OL got massacred. Our backup was a turnstile, and Vita Vea whooped Mekhi Becton. Once Tampa had a big lead in the 4Q, Bowles unleashed the pass rush and they ended up with 6 sacks. Saquon was very effective, but the defense let us fall behind 21-0 in the first quarter, so the coaches abandoned the run.
Our WR3 is also a Pro Bowl PR/KR. He broke a shoulder bone last week. The rookie Cooper DeJean muffed his first ever NFL PR attempt. He got smashed before catching the ball. They picked up the flag, so I guess they decided that he signaled too late for the fair catch. 🙄
It was a complete butt whooping. I think the Bucs are better than mediocre, but not great. The fact that they've crushed Philly in two straight matchups tells me where the Eagles stand.
Maybe they'll win 9 or 10 games and make the playoffs, but I'm not counting on it. Even if they do, a Wild Card loss doesn't interest me. They're too talented for that. If the offense gets healthy and stays healthy, maybe they can simply outscore many teams; but that's if Jalen isn't turning over the ball twice per game.
I feel badly for Saquon. He's been incredible. It's a shame he couldn't have been on the team two years earlier, before they forgot how to play football.
Edit: Mr. Lurie isn't a fan of firing coaches mid-season, but Sirianni might need to go very soon. That could let Kellen Moore audition as HC. It's less than ideal, but it's clear that Nick has lost the team.

Flores has them playing very creative coverages, and they do a good job of disguising pre-snap. The entire defense is playing together. They're the exact opposite of my Eagles. They'll go as far as Darnold can take them. He's talented, but it will take a while for me to believe in him. I think the jittery Darnold will return when the pressure rises.

Hope everyone is well with the storm, I heard the Carolina’s were just wrecked badly by it. I'd not be surprised if Washington wins the division. Jayden looks incredible, and the defense is playing better than their talent would lead you to expect. Dallas is stale and overrated, and the Eagles are the same heartless team from last year.

Hope everyone is well with the storm, I heard the Carolina’s were just wrecked badly by it. Yes. The Western part of NC is still underwater. In my area, Central NC, got a lot of rain. I'll be happy not to see any rain for the rest of the year. My Panthers winning streak ended today. Is anyone interested in trading their owner for my owner? I ask because ever since he bought the team, they've gone downhill with poor trades and draft picks. I offered him a penny for the team. Still waiting for a response.

Well, the Vikings-Packers game mostly went about as I expected, which is to say it was full absurdities from the get-go. However, it wasn’t a blowout! So there’s that. Thank you witch doctor for coming through.
Terrible special teams (except Whelan… you get a gentle kiss on the forehead good sir…) play and a tale of two halves. Also Love maybe channeled a bit too much Farve this game, lol. But he was obviously rusty and playing on one leg against one of the best defenses in the league, and then had to play hero ball all second half… so I cut him a lot of slack. It’s easy to forget sometimes, how young this team is. I trust the coaching staff and players to figure it out and grow from it. But man, I can’t believe we’ve had a harder time replacing our kicker than our QB… what is up with that? lol.

Idk how hands on David tepper is as an owner but from what I know of his football IQ, he has none. So if he has been hands on, I completely understand the panthers ownership problem.

Washington is 4-1 now, still surprising me how well they’ve been so far. Getting a good head start on the division as well. I expect Baltimore to beat em next week.
Looked at the schedule for the team and it’s actually a pretty easy schedule for Washington since most of the teams on it have a losing record so far or are 2-2. I expect the second half to be a little tougher for them. Should be capable of beating the panthers, should be able to take a game from each of their rivals I think/hope. That can then have them at 6-2 and then Pittsburgh probably puts them to 6-3 for the middle of the season.

Wish my Packers would play two halves of complete football, they're determined to give me multiple heart attacks a game. That said, we did well to bounce back from that awful pick six and Xavier McKinney is amazing. Our pass rush maybe not so much, lol.
Would just like to see the offense find rhythm and not have to randomly suspend WRs. *sigh*
Tucker Kraft is still awesome.

Tucker Kraft is still awesome. Love sometimes looks like Will Levis. Then, when you're beginning to think, "Does he actually suck?", he starts throwing more accurately and they look phenomenal. His mechanics and performance are all over the place. I was extremely disappointed when the Eagles bowed out of the Xavier McKinney bidding war. We had just paid Saquon and Xavier was expensive; but we needed him so badly and he's such a good player.

We had just paid Saquon and Xavier was expensive; but we needed him so badly and he's such a good player. The pick was definitely Will Levis-esque. Although after think it over, taking the safety/grounding and then giving Rams the ball back could've converted into a 9/5 point swing (as well as double up at half), and that interception is just very bloopy in general. Still not a good decision, but it actually might be preferable to alternative. And he's missed two games and tied fifth for touchdowns so I mean... you take the bad with the good right now, given it's been such a weird month of Packers football.
I was so happy when we got McKinney. We almost never win bidding wars over premium free agents, haha. People went into this season saying safeties weren't key position to keep, but I wonder if this shifts the needle at all.
