It's technically the right read. You can argue that the window is too tight to be worth throwing off your back foot on first down. But man it's really just a great play by Hart, and also by Jefferson. That ball gets intercepted 1 time out of 100. Probably a completion 40+ times.

This is too many, but the idea is correct.
Each party picks 10. Luck of the draw. Opportunity for en banc review.
End the games. And yes, it’s probably the most easily achievable. You need a trifecta, but that’s it.

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.

Kill these K balls now. This is gross. Maybe just don’t even allow FG attempts longer than 60 yards.

Tyrese Maxey shot a fadeaway from the corner with two seconds left while moving toward the baseline, ended up in his own bench, and still was the first Sixer back to block Melton's shot at the buzzer. That's one of the most amazing defensive plays I've ever seen.

Yes, I know it's based on a book with the same title, which is in turn based on a real person.

Hamnet is an awful name for a movie. Just dreadful.

Hard not to notice from this chart that the 4 lowest sack% games for the #Eagles are the 4 since the bye.
The offense was already focused too much on turnover avoidance. If they spent the bye adding sack avoidance to their goals, it was probably the wrong focus.

Jalen Hurts threw the ball on every dropback last Friday vs Chicago--the first time in his career he completed a game without a sack or scramble.
We've discussed the lack of designed QB run game, but he is also scrambling much less: 5.8% since Week 2, was 9.0% in past years.

Call them tweets. It’s almost a generic term meaning “short social media post” already. Finish the job. Twitter isn’t even called Twitter anymore. People will know what you mean. Or they won’t, whatever. Just call them tweets.

They have looked poorly coached all season.
Either the designs are bad, in which case it's the coach's fault.
Or the players are not executing correctly. Which, at this point, is ALSO the coach's fault.

“Coordinated” is not a word you can use to accurately describe the Eagles’ offense.

If you go out of your way to keep games within the margin of weird shit, you’re gonna lose games unnecessarily.

All iso routes on a critical 3rd and 2 should be the final nail.
You simply cannot coach an offense this way. Someone has to go.

EaglesEric on [other site] made an observation about the #Eagles running hitch routes. To follow up:
Eagles are running more hitch routes than any team in the TruMedia database (since 2012).
Here is every team since 2021 with crossers on the other axis (to provide a stylistic contrast to hitches).

My crazy idea for incorporating public feedback into city planning: You let residents vote for representatives in city government, and those people are empowered to implement the policies they promised while campaigning.
At Land Use (again) and it's literally all the same people it always is (myself included)...like who are we fooling that the same 75 people showing up every time is "the will of the people"? What a sham public process is sometimes, sadly
