Falcons - Eagles kickoff delayed

We’re going to have to wait a little longer for the 2018 NFL season, because the Falcons-Eagles game has been delayed thanks to inclement weather. None of us are going to get any sleep tonight!

As our esteemed Matthew Chambers wrote, weather was a factor heading into this game, and heavy rains and lightning have delayed kickoff for over half an hour. We’ll hope it doesn’t go any longer than that.

Kickoff has been moved to 8:55 pm, folks.
It's thundering and lightning here in Philly. https://t.co/tgyZ7sWVwr— Matt Tabeek (@MatthewTabeek) September 7, 2018

In the meantime, talk about whatever you like here in the comments, or just figure out a way to pass the time until we get to kickoff.
