After spending 2 away games in the visiting fan friendly mid-west, it felt normal to be greeted by a Redskin fan who said "Hey Eagle fan, how many Super Bowls you got". My friend Dennis & I were allowed to go on FedEx field before the game because our friend Joe works for Fox sports. We quickly spotted a familiar friendly face in NFL analyst Brian Baldinger. We had to take off our Eagles uniforms before the photo op so we went with Rowan Rugby t-shirts.
I just realized that Bald
inger rhymes with Did
inger. Brian & Ray are 2 of the best NFL analysts. Maybe they are related in some cosmic Alt NFL universe.
We also had the opportunity to visit the game day mission control center.
That didn't go so well as I tripped & knocked over the backdrop & some equipment as I heard someone say "Get him the ^%$#%^ out of here.
Oh yea, the game. That didn't go so well for the Eagles except for a couple of highlight plays that made the score closer than the actual game. Now us Eagle fans will get to find out what this Eagle team is made of. Will they overcome the adversity of losing their best O-Lineman Lane Johnson & beat the undefeated Sam Bradford led Vikings at the Link? This upcoming Vikings game will give the Eagles the opportunity to
set the edge on their season with a win & become
contenders in the NFC east or reveal themselves to be
rebuilders for the future.
One thing is for certain... Carson Wentz is the real deal. As my friend Dennis & I were leaving FedEx field several Redskin fans gave us shout outs with acknowledgments that Wentz will be our ticket to a great future at their expense.
