Feel like I've reached that point in my life where I'm mostly okay with what I get out of Apple's default apps on my Macbook Pro and iPhone. Don't really have the time to learn a bunch of new ones constantly or the desire to pay subscriptions for every one I use.

@zberm.bsky.social is there any way you can track the offensive play numbers in each Eagles game this season and see when their first scoring drive occurs? I have a theory that once they are done their “scripted” plays, that’s when we see the offensive momentum tend to begin
