October 20th, 2013. That’s the date of the last home game* we lost that Nick Foles played QB in for us. We’re going to the fucking Super Bowl.

(*non-playoff, but don’t worry about that)

This. The weather will be a more important factor in PO games with stadiums in the north that don't have domes. It impacted play last night and will in the future. Like JTK says, the wind is problematic. So is the cold. It slows the players down; muscles pull more frequently since the players can't get loose. January football is tough to play.

And there’s not a team left that plays in these conditions regularly or at all. Levels playing field.

Game time temperature: 29 degrees

Why? It's the holidays for Christ sakes

I mean one other thing to note is that even last year when we were 7-9, we were 6-2 at home. This year we are 7-0 at home. Under Doug we are 13-2 at home in our last 15 games. You can say its all Wentz but Wentz was pretty mediocre last year.

We must remember so that we don't let it happen again
