BBTV Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 For people picking games, know that 3 Eagles defensive starters (including two in secondary) are out with either concussions or on IR, and their lead RB is also out.

That could be an option. Tottenham's new stadium has them integrated to where they don't even have to be rolled, which could maybe be standard in stadiums moving forward. I don’t know what would be involved in installing such a system in existing stadiums would be or if it's possible at all. Lambeau Field has those, and if it works way up there, Lord knows it can work elsewhere around the country. 1 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 The problem that has to be solved with natural grass in domes is how it'll be stored/maintained when non-football events are taking place. It's great in theory to have natural grass at SoFi but what do you do when the building is taken over by Swifties and the Bey Hive for weeks on end? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont care Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Maybe I’m crazy for thinking this, and maybe the lights need to be that distance to work correctly to grow/not kill grass but maybe they could install more lights in the roof that are those heat lights. That would solve the storage problem, and the setup problem as well. It would be as simple as flipping a switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Didn't realize what a good play caller Shane Steiken was until watching this dreck. A good team would be leading the Eagles by two scores by now. Stupid designs, no audibles, and Hurts being forced into bad decisions. Thank gods the Vikings have Kirk Cousins and not an actual threat.* *words I will undoubtedly eat.

FiddySicks Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I actively dislike every single NFC East team, but they at least are good football teams. Every time I watch a game featuring a team from the NFC north, I like football a little bit less. God, I really hope the Lions can be competitive because the Vikings and Bears ever being on prime time is just insulting at this point.

BBTV Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 5 minutes ago, FiddySicks said: they at least are good football teams. Right now the Eagles are barely a "good" football team. Losing the DC didn't matter (Jonathan Gannon is trash), but they desperately miss the OC, and the only reason their trash STC is still employed is because they didn't want to replace all three. Their ST (other than kicker) is complete trash. They may very well still lose this game (it doesn't help when 4 defensive starters, including an All Pro and Pro Bowler are out), but the only reason they're still leading is because the Vikings are perennial frauds. Seriously - since the late '90s, have the Vikings really ever been legitimately good? Even the years they made the NFCCG, I don't think anyone actually expected them to win. They seem to be a team that wins 11 or 12 completely hollow games. They can't be taken seriously while Kirk Cousins is their QB.

FiddySicks Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 That’s just it! The Eagles look kinda terrible right now, and they’re still just dominating because the Vikings are totally worthless. Frustrating, and I couldn’t give about the Vikings.

I think they'd be happy with a Commander team that 'wins 11 completely hollow games' How about Cleveland who has had like 2 11 win seasons in the last 35 years? And I highly doubt that anyone actually was expecting them to lose that 98 NFC-CG considering those Dirty Bird Falcons are were and forever will be the biggest fluke in NFL history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 The Bears do that a decent amount, too. The year the Packers won the Super Bowl the Bears actually won the division and they faced off in the NFC title game. Outside of some mostly delusional Bears fans, nobody thought they were going to win that game.

Detroit is sitting out there with exactly one playoff win and three division titles since 1957, but it's always the Browns when people need a go to example of "it could be worse." By the way, the Lions have won 11 games all of three times since 1931. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had 0 running game but go figure that was the one time Rodgers was clutch when it mattered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
