try that one on for size ya syrup-swillin' mountie
Im so conflicted when it comes to glorifying players who play through injuries.
But fuck is it ever cool to me. Way I was raised I guess.
Good ole Chargers.
I finally get to watch a Vikings game and the Bungles bungle the ball so hard they change to the Jets v Saints. God damn it
Finally getting rid of Marvin! Is this real life? Could this finally be happening?
Too bad it's literally 10+ years too late.
Todd Gurley A+
Patriots Steelers has me excited about the NFL again. Holy shit.
cowboys playoffs basically depend on the falcons losing out after tomorrow (of course they'll beat the bucs)against the panthers and saints, and the lions losing at least 1 more.
that's IF we win out!
Don't you need the Seahawks to lose again too?
BTW, I was at the Giants / Eagles game today. The stadium had nearly as many Eagles fans as Giants fans, and they were most certainly louder and more unified. Speaks to the story of each team's seasons, I guess.
It was a pretty good game but I thought it was a pretty BS no-call at the end, when a Giants receiver appeared to be interfered with on 4th and goal. I believe they could have scored and won, had it been called.
Philly will probably be fine on offense without Wentz, but this is the second time this year that Eli has shredded the defense, and this time they were healthy. I still think they have good defensive personnel but I was very confused by Jim Schwartz running single-high safety on 95% of their plays, when our passing game was working but the run game was middling at best. Not gonna say they have big problems on defense because I think this was partially due to the playcalling, but there may be some cause for concern. Presently, I'd probably be more confident in any of the other NFC division winners to win a playoff game.
PS: Eagles special teams continue to be exceptional, though
Awesome game!
Hope Brown isn't out for the season.
I actuallt watched part of the patriots steelers game. Literally the only game worth watching all year. For a person who hates football anyways. I will crawl back in my hole now until the superbowl.
Why wouldn't the Raiders call timeout in that sequence? Why let the clock run once the Cowboys get inside the 5? Bryant's catch came with 3:02 left on the clock. Cowboys ran one more play before the 2-minute warning. You let them burn 1/3 of your available time without doing anything to stop them. You're going to need as much time as possible to score to tie or take the lead. Isn't 2:45 left on the clock with no timeouts better than using all your timeouts on the other side of the 2-minute warning? This isn't fucking rocket science. Even if you just use one after Dez's catch then see what happens, you've saved 40 seconds.
that was the strangest game i have ever seen.
when the touchback happened i just kinda laughed and shook my head. strangest way to "win" a game.
but let’s be honest here: that kind of performance has us losing by 24 to the eagles or rams or vikings. we’re going nowhere. even if zeke is back, we lost smith (again)for what looks like a few weeks at least, and hitchens' season looks to be over after he was tearing it up.
no, even if they won today we'd have the same record + tie breaker if we beat them. now if we beat them their season will be over as they'll have 7 losses.Quote:

Temper expectations?
I think that's a ridicilous statement to make..
Firstly, our God amongst men starting quarterback is out for the year, right near the end of a historically good year. Our expectations are already "tempered"
As for Foles... the last time the Eagles won the division, it was with Nick Foles.
Nick Foles came in the game that Wentz got hurt, and led a comeback win.
Nick Foles started the next game and threw 4 touchdowns, with no interceptions, against a team that REALLY wanted to fuck up his day.
That all being said, I think my expectations of Foles are just right. I would like the team to continue to win and that's what he has done. Should I just pack it in and say the season is over like the rest of these(not you, i mean the 'experts') idiots say?
Sorry.. not trying to sound like a prick, but, what the fuck. That's such an anti-Eagles or The Cheat talking about sports thing to say lol.
Foles blows, his supporting cast is unbelievable tho
Yeah last time the eagles won the division it was with him. BUT, and it's a huge but, that was chip kelly's gimmick offense before it was figured out. Foles could never do that again.
Except the two times he's already done it this year?Quote:

Wentz isn't playing though. And the guy who is playing, is winning.
Got given tickets to my second Titans game. Titans Jags on the 31st. Im pumped
My point is the last time everyone thought Foles was good he went to Arizona to be a starting QB and flamed out, only to come back as a backup in Philly if my memory serves me right. He's good enough to keep you in games, but I wouldn't bank on a deep playoff run with Foles is all im saying.Quote:

I'm not going to hate on my own team, I'm sorry. I think he's a great kid and I hope he does really well. He can do really well, as he's proven many times already.
Foles looked fine, they can definitely win games with him. It's the defense that's looking suspect, IMO. Not to say they won't make a run, 'cuz the NFC is wide open
Im not asking you to hate on your own team nor am I hating on the Eagles. I just think, not you, but the Eagles fan base at large has a short term memory.
That was Kevin Kolb that went to Arizona, Foles went to Jeff Fischers horrid offense that made Goff look like a massive bust, and Case Keemun has been real outside that Rams team too.
I thought Foles went to the Rams. During the reign of Jeff Fisher and his pretty shitty offensive scheme.Quote:

We know exactly which super bowls we've gone to and how many points we lost them by. We know that we made runs 4 years in a row with McNabb and didn't win.Quote:

Trying to paint me or Eagles fans in the light of blinding following a back up quarterback thinking he's a God who will 100% win everything though is weak, and untrue. We know he can, though. He's won before and he's done it here. He knows he can win here, he knows this is his best shot to win it all.
It's kind of exciting. Stop trying to take that away.
NFC Championship game, the battle of back up QBs that once played for the Rams at the same time.Quote:

EDIT: so i was actually curious bout Kolb and googled him. Poor dude.. has really bad concussion after effects and i do remember him getting dinged real good. That's a shame.
Will doQuote:

Saw a fair bit of Foles in KC. He's an average QB/game manager. Eagles are absolutely good enough to win with him.
Return of the Zeke: Even More Bigger
i hope the AFC gets better soon. i really do. appreciate the rise of the jaguars and all, but the teams fighting for the wild card are just bad. and honestly, the top 5 seeds in the NFC might be better than every single AFC team. yeah i said it, pats fans. Carolina won in New England and they aren't even winning their own division
