He should have work a Chiefs helmet. It immunizes you against this penalty. The refs even kindly tell you to put it back on without ever throwing a flag.
I’ve seen this happen twice this year (ref telling Chiefs player to put their helmet back on in the field of play rather than throwing a flag). And I’ve only watched 3 of their games.
I’m adding Foles to the list because adding Vick and Wentz without Foles is downright criminal. And added Jaws and Cunningham because they’re above most of these guys.
Foles’ SB win + MVP elevates him, but he’s the least talented guy on this list. Hurts has the potential to top this list when it’s all said and done. At minimum a SB win this year moves him ahead of Foles.
Normally, I would agree with you. You want the defense to begin putting together their case when they receive the served papers. Giving them a heads up just gives them more time to prep.
But there’s no way that dbrand and Zack would have done this without their lawyers’ approval. This appears to be a slam dunk case and, by giving this type of heads up, it expedites the eventual settlement. No way this goes to a trial of any kind. Casetify knows they screwed up, and they will want this to go away as quickly as possible to minimize the harm to their brand.
My guess? We’re going to get an undisclosed settlement, an NDA on all sides, and no admission of wrong doing on Casetify’s part.
Thank you for doing this as I had been meaning to post it myself. I’ve been saying repeatedly that the reason Eagles’ fans are so angry despite wins is that our game probability charts look like an EKG. Don’t get me wrong, this happens to other teams, just not like this.
I hate their cases but my wife swears by them. To each their own. She spend about $80-$90 on a new one with each phone upgrade we get.
In 2003 Andy learned that it’s important to have at least one good receiver if you’re going to be a pass-heavy team.
In 2004 he reaped the benefits by having TO on the team. And even though TO was crazy, Andy made a serious attempt at a legit #1 WR his remaining years in Philly.
His actions in KC. Shows me that he has clearly forgotten what he learned in Philly.
And hates RBs and doesn’t like to pay WRs. So you have an offensive line, a WB, a TE, and practice squad players.
To be fair, so has almost everyone else. They have now gone scoreless in the second half in three straight games. And at 5.5 pts per second half, they are the lowest scoring second half team in the league this year.
he played during basically the same exact time as deion sanders and rod woodson
And per PFF’s HoF Monitor score, those two are the two highest rated DBs ever. Ronnie Lott is the only one who is close, and everyone else is significantly behind them.
His career lines up most closely with Ken Riley (when adjusting INTs for era). Riley got in as a senior nominee. That’s how I think Allen gets a shot, after a few others get in before him. Allen begins his senior nominee eligibility in 2026.
So, I understand that analytical comments aren’t always appreciated in threads like these, but I try to make them for those who find value in them.
Simply put, we as Eagles fans tend to view our favorite players through a lens that the rest of the league does not see them. Eric Allen is, simply put, not the kind of DB who would get serious consideration for the HoF (though he will beginning in 2026).
PFF runs what they call the Hall of Fame Monitor scoring system. And when lined up with players who did and did not make it into the HoF, it’s pretty damn accurate. Here’s the source - https://www.pro-football-reference.com/hof/hofm_DB.htm
The average score of a HoF player is 100. For a defensive back, it’s 98 (meaning it’s a littler easier than average for a DB to get in, compared to Center at 103, making it harder for someone like Kelce to get in).
Notable HoF scores:
So, that begs the question, how many players rated below Allen have made it to the HoF? Precisely 3:
So the only players rated lower than Allen were retired for 30+ years and were senior nominees. Unfortunately, that’s likely to be how Allen gets in as his career trajectory doesn’t line up with most other HoF players.
Do I want him in? Hell yes. Do I think he gets in? Yes, but only when he’s eligible as a senior nominee. That eligibility begins in 2026. So we’re getting there.
His career weighted value is at a 95, the average HOF center is 100 with multiple getting in with sub-100 including 2 lower than Kelce’s 95
I see that data, but that’s not the score being used. From the source that I provided, his HOF Monitor score is 70.83. The average for any NFL player to get in is 100. The average for a center is 103. The lowest scoring center ever inducted is Mick Tingelhoff at 72.90. There are three players above Kelce not inducted - Maurkice Pouncey (75.18) and Alex Mack (71.15) are not yet eligible, but Jeff Saturday (75.00) is. And he didn’t even make the finalists list last year.
Now, if we went off weighed AV, as you proposed, there are two centers with a higher WAV than Kelce (100) who aren’t in - Tom Nalen (102) and Jeff Saturday (118, highest all time). So if Saturday can’t get in being ranked #1 all time, that metric doesn’t work.
I understand the downvotes I’m getting, but let me be clear - I 100% want Kelce in the HOF and I 100% believe that he has earned it. I just think that his position is too often overlooked. And because of this, the standards are higher to get in.
I think a few of the people DVing me mistakenly believe that I don’t want Kelce in, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
Kelce is a 6th round hall of famer.

Unfortunately, I don’t think he gets in. He’s beloved in Philly and, over the last several years, has consistently been one of the top centers in the league. PFF had him ranked #2 coming into this season and currently ranked #1.
Breaking it down further, in 13 rated seasons (counting this one), he has 4 1st place ratings and 8 top-3 finishes.
The thing is that when he falls out of the top 3, he’s not 4th or 5th ranked. He’s in the 10s or 20s. So he didn’t have this string of dominance that most HOFers have. And he’s at a position that doesn’t often get into the HOF.
Kelce s my favorite center ever. He deserves to have his number retired. And if there’s any justice in the world he’ll get into the HOF. But statistically, the odds are against him.
The Cardinals have been tough in almost every game and they have Kyler back. They’re going to be a spoiler.
The Eagles are 8-1, going into a murderous 4-gam stretch l, followed by Seahawks (always play us tough), the Giants (division, no matter how bad they are), the Cardinals (see above), and the Giants again.
I expect them to be no worse than 13-4, but I could totally see them limping into the playoffs.
Make sure you buy Lunar Silver Star Story ($10) if you have any interest in JRPGs. It was recently made AppleTV compatible and you can use cloud saves to resume on your phone as needed.
Chrono Trigger too!
Should see a small spike in jersey sales over this.
Seattle is a return to normalcy. It’s not just the quality of opponents, but also the schedule itself screwing us.
2-3 would be “fine” given that gauntlet. Anything better is just gravy.
It somehow manages to be worse than the Haynesworth/Russel Contracts AND worse than the Hershel Walker trade and Ricky Williams draft haul trade.
So it’s not just the worst contract, but the worse personnel move in all aspects in NFL history.
and use less power, but it won’t be faster.
If it uses less power, and you run the APU at the same power target, you will get slightly more performance.
“Wide open, no pressure, first down.” Every damn play.
Thanks for this link. Just got my LE and tested it. No dead pixels that I can see. If there are any, I don’t want to find them now :)
