GB 19 Philly 17 at the half. Good game, but looks like no one else is watching. 

 

Had I known I could not watch it on NFL+, I would have gone to one of my siblings' homes to watch it. They have Peacock.

 

I'm listening on Westwood One. Looks like Hurts threw a TD; AJ Brown scored. It seems like there is a lot of offense in these first two games.

Is that artificial turf or natural grass field ?

To answer my own question

Quote

 

Corinthians Arena turf

Sometimes when NFL teams go outside of the country, either the stadiums have to modify their playing surface for American football, or the two teams simply have to deal with the different grass or turf. 

 

However, when it comes to Corinthians Arena, it's going to be a familiar feel for both the Eagles and the Packers. 

 

The playing surface at Corinthians Arena uses GrassMaster, which is a product that combines perennial Ryegrass with artificial fibers. It's essentially a fancy version of real grass mixed with elements of turf fibers, as opposed to using strictly turf. 

 

There are currently only two stadiums in the NFL that use that same material for their playing surfaces — Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Eagles, and Lambeau Field, home of the Packers. 

 

Hopefully, Love doesn't have any major or lasting injury, and returns to the field pretty soon this season. Him returning next week will be essential to have a very competitive game next week against the Colts.

Love left the locker room under his own power last night. Most likely just an ankle sprain. He will probably play. Apparently without much of a limp.

 

I once badly sprained my ankle and was initially in a lot of pain. After about 10 minutes, the pain subsided and I was able to walk about a mile in snow with little pain. The next day, I could not walk as I was in so much pain. Many people describe having the same experience after sustaining a sprained ankle.

 

Love is probably in a lot of pain this morning. He probably should let the ankle heal before playing again.

It definitely wouldn’t break my heart if he wants to take next week off!

Wow not the ankle 

 

 

I just saw that on the Vikings site that I follow. Someone else on the Vikings site said that another doctor thought it was an ACL injury.

Yeah, it's frightening how it gets worse after feeling better. 

 

As for Love, it looked like he could've injured knee or ankle, both looked dangerously close to getting hurt, but it all could be just a mild sprain, hopefully the case.. we just need to wait for proper diagnosis.

I used to watch his YouTube channel for injury explanations for fantasy purpose few years back, I think it was different channel back then..

 

... He does a great job of explaining technicalities.

I have never heard of him. He may be right. Many on DN thought the knee popped. I did not see that. These injuries are terrible.

He won't play next week, for sure. He is expected to miss 3-6 weeks, per the Athletic and SB Nation's Acme Packing Company (the equivalent of Stampede Blue, but for the Packers).

 

He should also miss the Vikings game in Week 4.

Yes, I was, really nice experience! Man, Saquon is that dude!

 

That's great. I am glad that you enjoyed it. Hopefully you did not have to travel much to go to Säo Paulo.  One of my best friends is originally from Rio. She is an Eagles fan. She would have loved to be there yesterday.

 

I would like to go to a game in Europe one year. I'm going to the Vikings @ Giants game in New Jersey tomorrow.

Tomorrow. 8 AM.

I live in Jundiai, 40min drive of the stadium, pretty easy.

 

I'll go to Miami in January,  hoping they are in the playoffs.

As a reference: Aaron Rodgers had a MCL sprain in 2018 and missed no time at all. 

 

The injury to J-Love will not keep him out 3 to 6 weeks. His status will be determined day to day. Meaning his status for any upcoming game this season will be day to day. This post is not implying Jordan will not miss the Colts game at Lambeau. This comment is factually stating that Jordan Love will not miss 3 to 6 weeks, and that his status is day to day.

 

Any further information directly from inside 1265 Lombardi Avenue will be posted on a need to know basis.

That's great... Because whether it is Colts game or Vikings game a couple of weeks later, I'd like the opponent to be at full strength and strongly competitive :)

3 to 6 seems right.

    • I'm not too worried about our offense; I'm just worried about our defense. Coming in, we all knew our secondary was bottom of the barrel. Now, we are seeing our run D become bottom of the barrel, too. Our whole defense is trash. Buck is out now, and I can't imagine our D getting any better while he is out. We will have to win games by shootouts, and AR isn't that accurate for shootouts yet. PS Please let Pittman pick his game up. I need him for my fantasy teams.
    • My hopes are high but... There is such a thing as a pedigree. You know like growing up at NFL practices, becoming a HS prodigy as a Sophomore, all those college starts. Peyton was replaced for the 2nd half in his Last college game for performance haha, by Tee Martin.  And wouldn't most agree that at some point in Mannings 2nd year we understood he was a Great pick with a exceptionally high ceiling, flutter balls not withstanding?  I believe the jury was still out on Josh Allen after one full season of starting whether he was a good pick, a true "franchise" QB.  AR is so raw, I expect that is where he will be by seasons end. We will still have worry that he can put it all together to be Good. That Greatness will seem far off.  Will AR ever be calm under pressure, be able to read defenses and get us into the right play? Throw accurately, with touch, and on time?   The touch thing looks to be a monumental challenge, it's such a change.   
    • Our GM came out and said that he was sick of missing the playoffs. Last year we were 1 play away from making them. Your expectations for the team and Ballard’s are different.   Also the instant gratification angle has been said since 2019 season. Regardless of if you think the timeline should start from Ballard’s first year, or the first season after the Luck retirement, there has been enough time that has passed that makes it viable for fans to want better results than starting 0-2, giving up 500 rushing yards in 2 games, and losing to a 3rd round  back up QB who had only been in the offense for 3 weeks.
