Philly gonna end up hosting us at RBA because that's where all the games get played.

I would imagine the game is relocated. Home games mean nothing at this point.
I’m just hoping we end up “at” Toronto eventually since there will at least be a chance of attending in person.
That's until some stupid Orlando fans throw stuff on the field after we beat them tomorrow. Please.
Updated guidance from the PA governor now, saying football is one sport where players would not have to wear a mask as it would likely create a medical issue due to them also wearing a helmet and a mouth guard.
What is interesting about this, is while mouth guards are great safe guards against concussions and other injuries, I don't think NFL players are required to use one. I am not sure about college football rules on this, but I do remember in high school (in Illinois) when I played we were required to use one.
And FWIW, I know Sebastian Ibeagha wears one while he plays.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf's office issued new guidance regarding its mask mandate for sports, specifically saying that football players wearing masks during games "would likely create a medical issue” and thus they’re exempt. All clear for #Steelers, #Eagles games. pic.twitter.com/qhcZEm2S4Q

Yeah it’s definitely an advantage for Orlando. But games played in states like NY and Pennsylvania it’s just a neutral venue. The only benefit to the home team is lack of travel.
guess we'll have to see how this develops, but i doubt the union would want their players playing with masks either. RBA here we come. lol.
Orlando is getting hype for this one.
it's playoffs szn in Orlando, y'all know we had to do it big 😈 pic.twitter.com/1X2lzka082

We should be as well-rested and prepared as we could be at this point. Let's not forget, we played a shitty 25 minutes in Orlando late in the summer, but dominated the rest of the game without Maxi, and had to play Gudi at LB. While we've shrunken in big games, we've peaked at the right time -- and Orlando's never played at this level before. Lots of youth... you just never know. Might be our best scenario -- other than playing in front of a home crowd and doing day-of travel for an away game at noon.
Im also working and missing the game. Really strange to have a 12pm kickoff on a weekend.How are we feeling? Confident? Uneasy? I have to work today so I hope to watch a replay on ESPN+ or something later today with a vpn. COYBIB
