The Eagles are only down 7 and need to run the ball (their RBs).
Hurts has no time, has happy feet anyway, and already is looking like a deer in the headlights.
If they don't, this is shaping up to be a long day.

We need a stop or else it will be Hurts in garbage time.
Well, at least he's a good running QB.

Re: It's Game Day

We are capable of getting 40 points. Providing that the opponent puts up 43 or so. I also think we could possibly hold a team to 3 points. Providing they shut us out.
They had to quit bringing the good year blimp to Detroit because all of our players fought over who could suck it. Soooo embarrassing.

Well…..I’ll put away my Lions hat again until next preseason.

Re: It's Game Day

The Eagles were lucky to eek out a win. Sure, they beat the Liars, one of the worst teams in the NFL last year, but that won't cut it against the better teams.

It almost looked like the Eagles at the start of last year: they came out trying to force the pass game. The Liars D was amped up, they were blitzing from all over, and the Eagles had difficulty.

They should have been running the ball more, and I mean with their RBs, not just Hurts. It's not a formula for winning when your QB has more rushing attempts and yards than all of your RBs combined. The RBs only surpassed him towards the end of the game when the Birds were trying to wind down the clock.

It's also not good when only one receivee made catches. Well, okay...one other receiver had one catch. DeVonta Smith was MIA.

The good news is that one receiver, AJ Brown, is an absolute stud. Wow, it's nice to have a true #1. He's the best Eagles receiver since TO!

But Hurts has to look at his other receivers going forward.

A win is a win and I'm happy to take it. Still...

But it was on the coaching, not Hurts so much...he played well and pulled some magic tricks out of his hat with his legs and made nice passes.

That's what you call dominant? He looked just like last year, only with one great receiver, the one he constantly looked for.
He played solidly but hardly great or dominant, saved the day with his feet.
There's just one thing about that: he's the QB.

Yep, credit to their game plan. They went after Hurts hard and wouldn't let him get comfortable.

The Eagles were missing a bunch of tackles, especially early, then playing soft D after they had a lead.
They almost gave the game away.

That's a contradiction.

The Eagles will be good and should win the NFC East.
However, Sirianni will have to adapt sooner than last year; he can't wait until the season is half over to do so again.
I like him and think he will.

Hurts is never gonna be a great QB. He will be solid, good but not great, and will continue to look one way and then run.
His legs will save him, for now.
But within a couple of years, he'll be a backup/spot starter.
He was never drafted to be the man, but as a change of pace QB on a team that can use him like the Saints did Taysom Hill...that's what he was drafted to do.
If Wentz didn't repeatedly implode, that's what Hurts might be doing now (or been traded for draft capital).

The Eagles will never ultimately win with Hurts. They'll be lucky to win a round or two each year in the playoffs.
They would have to be absolutely dominant defensively to win big. They're good, but not that good.

Al, you remind me of Howard Eskin (longtime Philly sportscaster for those that don't know).
Eskin is good at fantasy sports because he pours over fantasy stats. But he often doesn't seem to recognize what he watches.
You are either like that, or a blind homer....and maybe both.

Right, it's all about fantasy numbers for you. That's cool and all, but that doesn't make for SuperBowl level football.

Because you're not a good team (yet) when you almost blow a 17 point lead in the 4th quarter to one of the worse teams in the league, and barely eek out a 3 point win 38-35.

The Eagles were bad defensively, including bunches of missed tackles, etc.
There was concern to start the season that Sirianni's lack of hitting during the pre-season might show up and maybe it did.
They'll be okay. They do have a talented team for sure. But you can't waste games, even in week 1, and they almost did.

Re: It's Game Day

your mistake calling the Lions one of the worst teams in the league. That would be Seattle, the Jets, Houston, possibly Atlanta.

Hurts was outstanding, I'll take the 31 points he put up every game.

(Planeteer)

09/12/22 04:59 PM

Re: It's Game Day

So, you listed four teams as the worst. Where would you have placed the Lions? Surely well below average, no?

Sure, you'll take 31 points, as would anyone.
The problem is that 31 points is not guaranteed.
Against better teams, the Eagles are going to have to be better.

I'm not pinning this on Hurts at all, other than he needs to look beyond Brown moving forward.
It's on Sirianni to have a better game plan or at least to be able to adapt depending on what their opponents might bring.
Hurts played well, especially considering having the Lions in his shirt all day.
I'm just hoping he progresses as a passer this year.
He has the physical attributes to be very good, and along with his running, special in his own way.
Oh, major props to Jalen for not making mistakes and getting rid of the ball when all else failed.
Almost a couple of intentional grounding calls maybe, but they weren't, so good on him.
If only Wentz had ever learned, just maybe....

(Planeteer)

09/12/22 05:21 PM

Re: It's Game Day

Again, it's on the coaching staff to put Hurts in a positions to succeed, to spare him from constant harassment, and to keep him from getting beat to death.

They need to run the ball with purpose, starting early, with their backs. They have 3 good to very RBs, plus Hurts, of course. While having the luxury of Hurts as a running threat is great, it shouldn't be the focus of their running attack. Give the ball to the backs, spare Jalen, and start grinding down the defense early (let Jalen stick it to them late and when absolutely necessary early).

Those short slant passes can be a thing of beauty and help get Hurts untracked.
The Eagles have 3 legit receivers who can turn those short completions into 1st downs and more, with just a block or two. Make it two or three blocks and they can take it to the house. Wouldn't that be nice? And wasn't it a beautiful thing watching AJ Brown?!?! Now to get Smith untracked, and get Watkins involved. Then there's Goedert, of course. And Gainwell. And...

Isn't it nice to not have to see a James Thrash, Torrance Small, or Freddie Mitchell slosh around like they're in quicksand?

Now, to fix the defense. There's too much talent for them not to be good to very good.

You guys must not get football if you watched that Eagles/Lions game and didnt see what a good team the Lions are. I think they will win 7-9 games this year. They are up and coming. Really good o-line. Their cornerbacks were good.

The Eagles ran for over 200 yards yesterday, I'm good with that.

Re: It's Game Day

You were never in this "argument", it was a blowout and a shutout.

You've been an emotional fan boi the entire time, as always...analyzing fantasy stats because you have no idea what you're watching, IF you are even watching (I have my doubts) - all caught up with your popcorn and pom poms. C'mon, admit it, you didn't actually watch the game, did you?

Sure, the Eagles had over 200 yards rushing. Their QB had half of it running for his life.
The RBs got a good chunk of theirs in the 4th quarter running out the clock, almost a quarter of it on one play.

Meanwhile, D’Andre Swift never gained more than 617 yards in a season but ran for a career high 144 yards against the Birds. But you're happy with that because you have him on your fantasy team (and it was an unexpected boon for you Sunday).

Did I mention the Eagles D line got NO pressure on the QB?

All of this against a team who was in the bottom six at best last year (their record was worse).

Sure, the Eagles have the potential to be good. Right now, they're not, but that can change quickly

Jalen Hurts, your hero, is below average as a passer, at reading defenses, at pocket awareness, and with a below average NFL arm. He is an excellent running QB, but again, he's a QUARTERBACK.
His one positive attribute also, in case you're not aware of this, makes it more difficult maintaining a pocket for him...he runs out of it too quickly. But that's not stat, certainly not a fantasy stat, so you have no clue about it. You don't recognize it if and when you actually watch a game.

Now run along, Homer....you're embarrassing yourself.

09/13/22 02:13 PM

Re: It's Game Day

What words would that be? Hurts did NOT have some great day as a QB, no matter WHAT your fantasy stats say.

That said, that isn't on him, it's on the coaching staff. Jalen played just fine and I enjoy watching him play.

I like Hurts and am glad he's an Eagle. I am rooting hard for him.

But that's the thing, I can like him and root hard for him, and still understand what he truly is as a QB.

I can want him to be better, to improve his areas of weakness, to become a QB who can lead the Eagles to the promise land of the NFL.
Tell me, just what is so wrong about that?
Why is being a blind homer better than that?
Why do you think YOU'RE so special, so right, and that I'm so wrong?
In fact, can you even point out where anything I have said about him as a QB is incorrect?

Let me answer: NO
Because you can't be objective...and a large part of the reason is because you either don't watch him play or don't understand what you're watching.
It seems to be a combination of both.

Me not being a blind fanboi doesn't make me a hater, it simply makes me a realist.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Now, run along and go spew your hate elsewhere....and try to grow up....and not embarrass yourself so badly moving forward.

In spite of your flaws, I'm glad that you're here at VSP...you certainly bring more to the table than I do, and many/most others, for that matter.

In fact, I've been thinking about you and your love for the Eagles.
I've been thinking about offering you to go to a game.
I have access to season tickets and usually go to a game or two each year...and the tickets are free to me.

The thing is, for the highly desirable games, being that there's only two tickets, the person who owns them goes to those game too. That is, he doesn't want to give up BOTH tickets, of course.

Also, I don't love the seats. They're in the end zone, and from the 50 yard line on out, I find myself watching the jumbotron instead of the field.

Still, it IS an electric atmosphere and lots of fun...although at this stage of life, on a frigid winter night, I'd just as soon watch at home.

I also don't know whether or not you would be able to get to The Linc.
Frankly, you're 2+ hours away and I'd rather not drive 4 hours round trip twice in one day to get you there and back.

I don't know if you've ever gone to an Eagles game at the Linc or the Vet.
The Linc is SO much better, though the Vet had it's charms too, in a brutal, football kinda way.

You, on the other hand are mad, and hateful, simply because you've exposed yourself in this thread.
I only recognized your lack of understanding about a certain player and that you're only focused on empty fantasy stats.
If you hadn't been so hyperbolic in your description of his play, which you obviously didn't even see, I probably wouldn't have noticed....or at least said anything.
Instead, you tried to come off as an expert, the know it all, when obviously, you have no clue about what you're talking about.
But you're mad at me, and a hateful human being, one who LOVES to hold grudges.
Yeah, you're swell.

Nope, it's your fault, ALL your fault.

It's the narcissist in you.

You couldn't dare allow someone else to have an opinion. No, you're the resident football expert who knows everything and has to insult anyone with an opinion that differs from yours.

So, as usual, you hurled your juvenile insults around, like the bully-wanna-be that you are (dream on, pork chop).

Then, you spewed out fantasy stats because that's all that you know, demanding that they be taken as the be all, end all regarding a certain performance. You hurled hyperbole about that performance, a performance that you didn't even see.

You LIED about watching a performance, and a game, and demanded that your opinion, one based on...what, exactly?...be accepted as fact because it is you, Al the narcissist, the lying narcissist.

It is YOU who won't let this die.
YOU are a liar and who can't be honest to save your soul.
YOU who is spewing hate, vitriol, and insults.
YOU who is the hypocrite.
YOU who is the poor sport and a juvenile.
YOU who dreams of being a bully (but can't, or surely you would).
YOU who is the always entitled narcissist.
YOU who is a member of the Dunning-Kruger club.
YOU who has exposed themselves.
YOU who didn't watch the Eagles-Lions game.

Get a grip, Al....and stop embarrassing yourself, fruit-loop.

Let's discuss what it was about this sports discussion that made you so insane. I believe it was when I pointed out that you were using a fraudulent stat about Lions RB Swift. It was the word fraud I guess that triggered you on one of the most insane jags I've ever seen on any board during my time on the web.

From the article:

“That’s what we brought A.J. Brown here for, to do exactly what he did today. He’s a great leader…I’m looking forward to the rest of the season,” Smith said.

That type of comment should be music to Eagles’ fans ears. DeVonta Smith went one step further. “That’s the flow of the game. You never know whose day it’s going to be. Today happened to be his. Next week, things may change. “You never know. You just got to be ready.”

09/15/22 06:23 PM

Re: It's Game Day

This is a tough one to gauge (and I'm no handicapper).

The Birds have a homefield advantage; conversely, they won one on the road last week that they probably shouldn't have, so....

I'm not concerned about the Eagles offense and think they will gain yards and score just fine. If anything, they could be better than last week.

The Birds D was horrible last week. However, they have a lot of talent and that could change significantly week to week, IMHO. That said, Jefferson is more than a handful and that's a concern to me. Cousins is Cousins, but he does throw for yards (Tim, are his stats a lot of empty stats?). No doubt to me he a Jefferson are a threat. Especially if the Eagle D line can't get any pressure again, which means they'll to blitz to get pressure, which means one (or two) less defender for coverage.

The Vikes RBs are solid but their running game isn't a concern.

Like last week, I think this game comes down to a turnover/turnovers/take-aways.
If Hurts can play mistake free like last week, and I think he can, I think the Eagles win 31-27.

09/19/22 02:40 PM

Re: It's Game Day

It was an incredible play. Maybe Hurts will do something similar tonight.
I'm sure you were thinking something along those lines: See! See what a great running QB can do?!

That's certainly (obviously) true. However, looking at that play, some things to note:
They were on about the 2 yard line. Murray was standing at the 5. He ran all the way back to about the 22 yard line.
If he had been tackled, that would have been a 20 yard loss. He wasn't, BUT...no receivers got open.

It's more difficult to get open down in the red zone because there's no place else to go. The deeper into the red zone you are, the more difficult it is - it's when you need big receivers, not fast ones. There's no threat of going deeper, so the defense can't be stretched out and pockets found by the receivers. The receivers don't want to come back to the ball - it started at the 2 - no reason to make a catch for a loss....just throw the ball away. Basically, it's either touchdown or nothing for the receivers, and they've only got 10 yards of field to work with. So, no one got open.

He got great blocking. But there's a reason for that. The Raiders only sent 3 defensive lineman. Everybody else was in coverage (and why no receivers could get open). Obviously the lineman are the slowest players on the field (typically, anyway)....and the Cardinals had 5 blockers, plus Murray, to the Raiders 3 rushers. So, he got away with it (NOT taking anything away from him at all).

Also, TO HIS CREDIT, and this is critically important, he DID NOT run all over and to the sideline, he STAYED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD, so the lineman could effectively block (he also didn't force the ball into coverage). That is the sign of a high IQ QB and one who understands the game!

THAT was the most impressive thing he did, to me. The instinct is to get to the sidelines and, in that case, throw the ball away if no one came open. But he didn't, he stayed in the middle of the field looking to pass and broke the defense down.

As a play like that goes longer, it breaks down more defensively. The receivers tend to go as deep into the end zone as they can because where else can they go? It's a natural instinct. The defenders go with them.

So now there were 3 d-lineman WAY back behind the line of scrimmage. There was another d-lineman near the middle right of the field, unable to cover but unable to get to Murray. ALL of the backs were deep in coverage. So, there were just two linebackers for Murray to beat, and they were both out of position because they were in coverage too.

Still, it WAS a great play by him, made possible by his running AND passing skills. He WAS still looking for a receiver, his eyes on the end zone. So the defense had to respect that he was still looking to throw the ball and they stayed back. He's a talented, intelligent QB, and when he saw it was the right time to take off, he did....and made a tremendous play out of nothing.

However....

Would a coach take a play like that every time (just a topic of conversation)?
We're taught to not run backwards, and/or continue to run backwards, and to not lose yardage.
Once in awhile someone pulls off a tremendous play, because the defense eventually breaks down trying to maintain coverage.
I don't know the answer. I guess it depends on the player and his history and the coach and his philosophy.

But that was a great play and a lot of fun to watch!

09/20/22 08:13 AM

Re: It's Game Day

4 times in one game? I've never seen that.

This time Al (I know you're not talking to me $\:D$ ), Hurts was great. He took what the defense gave him, looked at all of his receivers, didn't try to do too much when something wasn't there, and played mistake free football (unlike that bum Wentz)....and oh yeah, still made big plays. He looked great, like a franchise QB last night. Impressive indeed. And Darius Slay was great. BTW Al, it seemed like the Eagles read my posts last week and did exactly what I said.

Tim, the Vikes just made too many mistakes and turned the ball over too much. Even though the Eagles played good defense, they should have scored 21-24 pts (the Eagles could have scored more too though). Their play calling fell right into the Eagles hands by giving them the underneath passes and it allowed Hurts to get untracked....and he did. Oh well, like you said, it's a long season and they look like a talented team, especially on offense. I'll be rooting for them moving forward!

Re: It's Game Day

My best sport was baseball, I was a power hitter.

Played football cause that was what everybody cared about but I had no speed, my value was that of a team-minded brawler.

Was #2 on the tennis team, won a couple trophies, was a tournament doubles player.

My greatest day playing sports was on a basketball court owned by the dad of the star of our high school team. Don't understand it to this day but for one day and one day only I was unconscious, hitting everything. Because of that day, the star's sister got a crush on me and she was the most beautiful girl I ever had a shot with. Then when I had my chance, I screwed it up. heh

I used to have Gerald Riggs as a RB my 1st year in Fantasy football in college. In his later years, Washington used him for short yardage, to get the ball in the endzone.

Herschel was one of the most hyped plyers ever and never lived up to it. He was incredibly fast but was a straight up and down runner without much cutting ability/lateral movement. He was a solid receiver for a back and a good returner, but he was supposed to be a great back. He was a good back with a few good to very good seasons, but never great like expected and often relegated to being a returner.

I liked Walker okay as a player. Good but not great. He was on the Eagles for a few years and had one very good year running and receiving.

He was always a strange cat, including how he ate and worked out....supposedly only eating bread and water while training, in which he shunned weight training but did hella calisthenics. It worked, he was ripped, and incredibly strong.

Re: It's Game Day

Really? I only watched the Eagles game on Sunday...didn't catch any highlights of other games.
Any games in particular that disappointed you?

It looks like the Vikes had a great come from behind win though and Cousins and Cook had good games. I didn't watch but see JJ only had 3 catches. I'm guessing he's getting a ton of focus and getting covered like a blanket. Was that it, Tim? In any case, ya gotta be happy with the win. 2-1 is way better than 1-2 at this point.

Well Adam, so much for 17-0, but we all know that's an almost impossible dream. Football is the most complex team sport and by far the most physically grinding. It's so difficult to go an entire season and be "up" for every game, not run into matchups that get to you, not catch a team when they are hot even for one game, etc. It's difficult enough to go 12-4 (one more game now), let alone go undefeated.

The Eagles had a good game again. Hurts was excellent and threw two of the best passes I've even seen from him. Both were very late in the second quarter and both to DeVonta Smith, who had to make an excellent catch on both and did, leading to their final score. The Birds also had NINE sacks!

Of course, being a Philly fan, I have to complain (Tim, I think you'd fit right in here $\:D$ ). Fr the second week in a row, the Birds had 20+ points at half time and didn't score in the second half. They're taking their foot off of the gas. I get being a good sport in the league but that bothers me. AT least go 3 quarters with the foot on the gas. Their last score was kind of a gimme as the Commanders were playing prevent D at the end of the second and the Eagles marched down the field (I HATE prevent defense, it never seems to prevent anything and allows the offense to go down the field without eating up too much clock).

As much as I've been on Hurts, he did a GREAT job...all game but particularly on that series. Of course, as a Philly fan, I have to mention that I wish he led his receivers better $\:D$ because he could maybe be elite. He IS playing mistake free, which is refreshing because the bum he replaced (Wentz) never played mistake free and ALWAYS tried to force things and turned the ball over...then pouted.

A couple too many mistakes combined with Washington running the ball down their throats and COMPLETELY controlling the clock is neutering the Eagles and doing them in.

11/21/22 04:05 PM

Re: It's Game Day

We know, Al....you told me so, you told me so!
So, let me hereby say: YOU TOLD ME SO....AND YOU WERE RIGHT!
And I'm VERY happy about Hurts.

Of course, it's only because you're a fan boi and not because of anything that you saw - none of us saw it, because it didn't happen until this year.

But it has!...and Hurts is the MVP so far this year: nobody is more important to their team, including Mahomes (who is the better talent...might be the single best player in ALL of teams sports since his arrival).

What we (thought) we knew about Hurts prior to this season:
Positives: great teammate, extremely hard worker, even keeled, a natural leader, excellent runner.
Negatives: poor pocket awareness, happy feet, not a great passer, not a great arm.

Well, he's improved in EVERY single area of weakness. He'll probably never be great at leading his receivers with passes, but he puts the ball where it NEEDS to be. His pocket awareness is very good now. He spreads the ball around well. He takes what the defense gives him and never tries to do too much, though he makes big plays when needed. Most importantly (IMHO), he is probably the most mistake free QB I've ever seen, especially for a "running" QB.

He was needed yesterday and came through big time to win the game. The Eagles offense hasn't looked good the last two games, especially yesterday...they were lethargic overall, didn't play with urgency (the last two weeks), and put the ball on the carpet too often (last two weeks also). That's not gonna cut it going forward, especially come playoff time. And make no mistake, there will be bigger challenges, such as the Cowpokes - like it or not, it's true....and they have a potent running attack, our one area of weakness.

BTW, props again to Howie Roseman for picking up Suh and Joseph and not just standing pat. He's been a tremendous GM.

I thought Allen was gonna slip back into his old habits. He threw 1 interception and almost a second one. But luckily he threw it low and it hit the ground.

Detroit's passing game was much better, I'll agree with that. Detroit has a good pass defense. Lucky for the Bills, the Lions have a weak running defense.

Re: It's Game Day

Detroit has a great running back, Andre Swift, who has been playing half-injured. Fully healthy he's a total beast but I'm starting to suspect he's injury-prone, this is 2 years in a row for that.

Re: It's Game Day

They didnt use Swift too much today. Young guy. Their other guy, Jamaal Williams, did ok. They probably want Swift to make a total recovery before they really use him.

Re: It's Game Day

It was impressive for sure...and a lot of fun. The Packers D wasn't playing well, doing whatever it is they were trying to do, and the Eagles O-line was blowing open nice holes - they might be the best O-line in the NFL. Hurts and Sanders made the best of it and made some nice runs. What I was impressed by with Hurts' running is on the long runs, when he got close to the end zone, he didn't try to take too much and make a mistake or put himself in harms way. He took everything he could possibly get, got out of bounds, and let the offense do their jobs. The Eagles also bulled their way into the end zone on a couple of short runs. They're not likely to come close to that running performance against the Titans though. So they're gonna need to pass the ball.

Speaking of which, I really liked Hurts' passing in the game. While he still made some less than optimal throws, they weren't terrible throws, and were at least in the area they had to be and the receivers could make the catch. But he also made some really nice throws. My favorite was the 3rd and 12 to Smith in a little down and out. He had two defenders near him and Hurts put a really nice touch pass where only Smith could get it. The TD pass he zipped to Brown was nice too - a perfect pass. I also loved the pass he threw that wasn't caught, where he scrambled right, was running back toward mid field, and threw across his body to Watkins in the end zone at the left sideline. It was a little out of reach for Watkins, but it was a great pass, on the run at that, and one that shows growth, IMHO, as he would have never made a pass like that last year. The TD to Watkins was nice too. Kinda Rodgers-ish in that it was sort to the back shoulder. That said, you can't tell if that was meant or not. Good thing the D back wasn't looking back and ran past Watkins who coming back to the ball. Still, give credit where is due...it was a very good play. Hurts continues to play mistake free football - very impressive - and proving himself to be a great field general.

The Eagles special teams was an issue again, giving up two long returns and forcing the D to play with a short field. Caused the game to be too close, IMHO.

Rodgers can still do what he does,,.,great passes with a quick, short release. But you know who's gonna be a really good QB? Jordan Love. He has an incredibly quick release, with no wasted motion, can throw from all kind of angles, ala Mahommes, and leads his receivers perfectly.

Well, the Eagles are starting to really get banged up now, which is all part of the game. But with the coaching, GM, and players themselves, I have confidence that they'll figure it all out. Next man up.

It's a good time to be an Eagles fan....

Once again, he made no mistakes. 39 passes and nothing eve close to a mistake. The Titans were supposed to be their toughest challenge yet and the Eagles beat them like a piñata.

Re: It's Game Day

After winning the NfC Offensive Player of the Week 2 weeks in a row, Jalen Hurts was asked about the team coming off a high-emotion win: “I’m emotionless. I’m just focused on what’s in front of me, what’s in front of us. We’re staying true to the process, stay true to the grind. So many things changing around you, so many opinions, just do the work.”

So much for this game being a trap, let down, or competitive in any way...and it was worse than the final score indicated as the Iggles gave the Midgets the last 8 points.

Balance was the name of today's game.

I'm glad the Birds kept the hammer down.
Another mistake free game from Hurts, who also made some beautiful passes (including a couple that Smith couldn't handle, but they were beauties).
Boston Scott with a nice return after the first Giants TD - took the wind right out of their sails.
Great all around defensive game...and 3 sacks for B Graham!...he'll be on morning sports talk tomorrow, as always.

Re: It's Game Day

The Iggles O-line is fantastic for sure, but it's WAY too soon to make such a proclamation.
I would say the 90s Cowboys - they were awesome for a lot of years.
Then I would have said "The Hogs" of the Redskins.

The 50s were before my time, the 60s I was a little kid, and I didn't know what I was looking at most of the 70s as far as offensive lines, though thinking of Jim Otto, Gene Upshaw, and Art Shell of the Raiders....wow. Who am I to argue?

Al makes an excellent point about our depth and what the future holds, though, and our coaching staff and their schemes have been tremendous. If the Eagles offense didn't take the second half off of so many games, there's no doubt they'd have the most yards in passing and the run. As is, they've scored the most points.

So yeah, the future looks bright....but health and all of that. It's so difficult to maintain such a high level for so long like those Cowboys and Redskins did.

BTW Dave, Guido is in NY, along with Pasquale (his mother doesn't pronounce the e, but his friends do).
In Philly it's Antny (Anthony), otherwise known as Ant, and his brothers Challie (two Ls, no R) and Ralph (Railphie). They live in South Philly, near the Italian Market (pronounced, Eye-Tail-Yun by the locals). $\:\)$

Hill really is a great receiver!

So, the Eagles were off today but still pulled it out.
Not great play calling early and Hurts was off, and they couldn't get the run game established. Give Chicago's defense credit, they played well. Also, Watkins looked disinterested and just not good. He's got the physical attributes to be a good WR, but I think maybe he's just not a high IQ player and doesn't have the intensity.

But when it really mattered, the Eagles did their thing, especially Hurts, who threw a gorgeous pass to Brown (who also made a good catch) to pull it out. Also, they went for and got a 2 pt conversion and it was a great play call....shifting and overloading right and Hurts waltzed in to the left.

The Eagles D was getting good pressure and Javon Hargrave was running wild. He had two sacks but if Fields wasn't so slippery, he might have had a couple more. Al, with all due respect to the great Jerome Brown, Hargrave is putting together some of the best seasons of any Eagles DT ever.

Only one pass to a TE....we get Goedert back next week....he's a key component of the Eagles offense.

In other NFL news, the Cowpokes did their thing today and choked to the Jaguars.

If he scores on that play the Dolphins get the ball back with 35 seconds and a chance to win or tie. If he goes down, the only way they can lose in regulation is if the kick is blocked and returned all the way for a touchdown. So other than a blocked kick returned for a TD, the Bills were either going to win with the kick or go to overtime.

Hurts is pushing to play but they won't let him.

The Eagles want to do two things:
1. They want to beat Dallas without Hurts.
2. They don't want Dallas to see them a second time, in case they have to face-off a third time, because it is very difficult to beat a team three times in one season.

It's a win-win for the Eagles to play without Hurts. If they lose it's because they're suppose to - Dallas needs the game badly and the Eagles don't. If they win, it will be a major blow for Dallas' confidence if they have to face off a third time.

The Eagles coaches and players are not foolish enough to think that at all. You're talking as if Dallas is trash, which they clearly are not. They have almost as many pro-bowl players as the Eagles, have two very capable RBs, of which their "backup" just made the pro-bowl, and a QB who until this year anyone would have taken over Hurts. Not to mention: On Any Given Sunday. Yes, the Eagles are the better team, but Dallas is certainly capable of winning against us....and this is their chance.

Last I checked, games aren't won or lost on paper.

Absolutely. Removing that huge part of the offense affects every other skill position player on the field (RBs, WRs, TEs).

Anybody who has actually watched Minshew play and doesn't just read stats, knows that he has about as weak of an arm possible to still be a QB in the NFL. There's a reason his career started so hot but he quickly faded into almost oblivion. He does have the presence of a good QB on the field and appears to be a solid IQ player, so there's that. Can he manage a game and win with a superior team? Sure. Will he pull a rabbit out of his hat and win one? Unlikely but possible. Can he do it more than once? Consistently? Not a chance, or he'd be a starter somewhere. I think he's right where he should be - a solid backup on a good team who can hold down the fort.

Again, I do believe it's the right call to not have Hurts play - there's nothing to lose and everything to gain.
If nothing else, live to fight another day.

Did you see the game Minshew started last year? He's a pistol.

The Eagles with Hurts

have a better QB
equal RB
better O-line
better receiving and TE
better D-line
better secondary than Dallas.

Unfortunately Hurts is my fantasy QB so I won't have him for like a dozen playoff games this week, hoping my backup Tua mops up on the Packers.

The Bears are a pesky team.

(Planeteer)

12/22/22 09:36 PM

Re: It's Game Day

Yes, I did. I like Gardner, like his presence a lot, he seems to command respect from his players. He has a nice touch and makes good throws when he doesn't have to do too much, like go downfield. The Eagles coaching staff is perfect for him (just like with Hurts). I'm sure they'll have a good game plan for him.

Yes, we have an equal RB, but not equal to their two RBs.
Better O-line than any other team in the NFL for sure.
Better receivers, yes (and when was the last time we could say that?!). Better TE when we have Goedart.
Better D-line, yes.
Better secondary, yes.
And our LBs aren't chopped liver either.

Better team, yes.
Obviously, Dallas has home field.
To me, it really comes down to whether or not we can put points on the board quickly enough and get a lead.
We'll find out soon enough. It's really a chance for the rest of the team to shine.

Not a big deal if they lose. They'll still be the 1st seed.

With the Bills, they had to beat the Jets and the Dolphins, because they lost to them in their 1st games and they are in the Bill's division. The Eagles already beat the Cowboys earlier in the season.

Just like I thought. The Bears running game is hammering the Bill's defense.

Re: It's Game Day

You're probably right, Adam.

Across all the major team sports, more and more people are involved early on, the talent pool is larger, and so the overall talent level of teams is higher/more consistent.

Combine that with much better training, technology, etc. and everyone is better, in general.

Of course, some of what made old school sports endearing/great gets removed, such has hard nosed playing, because, if nothing else, the athletes are too valuable/expensive a commodity, and ownership doesn't want them too exposed to too great a danger/injury.

$$ has a lot to do with it, that's for sure. I used to work with Jules Segal in the early '90s. He was a fullback for the Giants back in the '40s. He said they made pennies and traveled around in buses. Most careers weren't very long. Playing pro football always lost to a good paying job. Only the star players made decent money.

The NFL was 1000x superior before Goodell took all the hitting outa the game. still it's great though.

Tua had his worst game of the year today. Figures, a whole bunch of fantasy teams made the playoffs, Hurts misses the most important week and I only have a few still alive. The most important league though I go against Timster for the championship next week and Hurts should be back.

In the baseball league this past year, I totally dominated from beginning to end and lost the first playoff game.

I'm sure he didn't intend to go helmet to helmet and probably instinctively thought/fell he would lower his shoulder into him.
But the WR saw it coming at the last second and instinctively lowered his head/body to brace for the contact and....boom.

Bottom line is he did it and got penalized/fined/booted from the game...they'll both live to play another day.

I definitely miss the hard hitting from the old days though! Jack Tatum indeed!

Wes Hopkins drilled receivers every single chance that he got....they were literally afraid of him.

I think this is the case a lot of the time. So often it has everything to do with momentum. And while I'm glad the league is working to minimize these types of hits - I also understand that it's a tough goal and a fine line in a game that inherently has a certain amount of violent physical contact. I played 3 years in HS as a receiver and CB and I had my bell rung more times than I care to admit.

As much as I loved smash mouth football...

You act like Goodell had a brain storm based on doing what's best for humanity.
Goodell is doing what the owners want: protect their investment (players) and limit their future liability.

Dick Butkus and Jack Lambert might not have suffered CTE, but many players have.
Whether it's just the difference between humans, their style of play/methods, luck, or a combination of everything, is mostly irrelevant. You just never know.

Players/athletes today, in almost every sport, are bigger, stronger, and faster (and a lot richer). While their equipment is better too, it simply isn't enough to compensate and eliminate to possibility for injury, or effectively reduce it enough.

While Butkus has lamented teaching players how to better train their necks, etc., that doesn't protect the brain.
NOTHING, that is available today/that we know of, can...or it would be utilized.

Not all brain injuries are traumatic, such as concussions (and make no mistake, concussions ARE a traumatic brain injury). Many, as with CTE in a sport like football, are the result of smaller, repetitive injuries. The negative effects of the smaller injuries never completely go away, no matter how much rest/time off is taken. They simply add up. You can't see them, and very often can't see the effects until much later, after their playing days, but they are there. Every "injury" is a sort of premature aging of the brain.

Not to mention, the injuries are often not on the side of the brain where the head is hit (sports related or not).
A common brain injury is "contrecoup', whereby the opposite side of the brain is injury due to the brain hitting the other side of the skull due to the force of the impact. Example: you fall and hit the left side of your head on the curb but the right side of your brain is injured from your brain whipping inside of the skull (yep, whiplash).

The entire central nervous system basically floats on cerebral spinal fluid. As such, it moves around. It's supposed to. But it can only move around so much, a very little bit, actually. Past that point, the brain smashes into the inside of the skull....often on the opposite side from which is was struck.

There is also the fact of playing surfaces. They've come a long way from the original "Astroturf", but they still have limits (of give).
The old grass and dirt fields were just that. it wasn't even thought of to design a surface to allow for better drainage, etc. (to not lose money, of course). As such, they have much more give, whether or not that is apparent from simply walking on it.

AstroTurf: I don't know whether you've ever been on it or not, but I have quite a bit. When it's new it's interestingly spongey. But that goes away quickly. Then, it can become like playing on a fuzzy cement/tile floor.
Modern grass surface are designed with drainage in mind. There are many layers, of different materials, to allow water to escape to the drainage systems below. They're worlds better than AstroTurf, of course, but they are still not natural playing surfaces.

NO MATTER how well modern helmets are designed, they can only take them so far (as of now, anyway). No matter what, the brain still whips around inside of the skull and smashes into it. It's NOT simply about the initial impact, at all. There's simply no way to stop the brain from hitting the inside of the skull, whether it's a coup injury (COO - same side) or contrecoup (opposite side).

And so, while I love smash mouth football and think that in the NFL (and NBA) they have maybe gone too far, and not found a balance (calling ticky-tack penalties at times), I get it...they're erring on the side of caution. While it's not better for the entertainment of the sport(s), it is better for the people who play them....and their investors, of course.

It's not about what I think or you think. It's about team owners protecting their investments, and leagues their golden geese(?), and athletes protecting themselves.

If you want to see warriors fight to the death, go whip your son into shape and put him out there.
Hell, your daughter too. You're good at wanting to see other people in harm's way, aren't you?

I love the hard hitting in football. I've boxed and did combat sports since I could walk, probably before that. It's in my blood, I loved it almost as much as being a musician....almost....and I'm extremely good at it too.

I played all of the rest of the major sports, and played basketball several times a week until just a few years ago...and not pitty-pat basketball against old geezers....league and street against the "brothers"...every single one younger than me, most much younger (and I kick arse!...most of the time....

...you always come up against some people that are just on another level). I backed off of being serious about boxing because of my hands...I never got hit much, I was too good a boxer/fighter (hit and don't get hit is the motto). But again, while VERY rare, once in awhile....boom! It happens....to everyone. If you're gonna dish it out, you better be able to take it, because you're gonna at some point, maybe when you least expect it....so you gotta have a tough beard...and a cast iron will and fortitude. That's with everything in life.

So, it's no like I'm some ultra-libtard couch potato judging others and telling them how things should be and what to do.
But be real. It's not 1932 and too much is known. Who TF cares what "Al" wants, sitting on his couch eating himself silly, wanting to live vicariously, watching "warriors" bash each others' brains in...or out?

Should boxing change? I dunno. I've been conflicted at times, honestly. It's not for me to say but I'll respect science and medicine but also people's right to choose.

So, just enjoy what you got. Sport will always evolve, for better and for worse. If you want to change it or prevent change....get out there and do something about it.
Again, like everything in life.

Re: It's Game Day

Hurts shouldn't play and probably won't. If the Eagles can't beat the Saints with Minshew, they're not that good.

The Eagles D should be able to squash the Saints offense. They've got an old, mediocre when at his best QB, a RB who was once excellent but hasn't been the past two years, and one receiver, who's a rookie. And...we're at home.

The Eagles D should be able to get to Dalton and shutdown Kamara. If not, like I said, they have bigger issues.

You seem to be missing the glaringly obvious.

Why should they be "brave" enough to hire a 49 year old wide receiver? He is AT LEAST 10-15 years too old to play THAT position in the NFL.

Dude - I know who and what he is. He played for both the Cowboys and the indoor league Allen team (I live in Allen).

He's 49 and hasn't played in the NFL for something like 13-14 years. He's a great athlete, no doubt. But it is absurd to think he'd come back and play at any kind of high level in the NFL. What a waste of money he would be.

Plus he's a first class drama queen distraction for any team

Re: It's Game Day

He'll pull a hammy on his first route, miss the catch, then get crushed. He'll fight with the coach on the sideline to get back in the game, throw a press conference from his driveway the next day, hold out demanding to renegotiate his contract, and retire...looking great while doing it. Then, he'll threaten to start his own league if nobody signs him next year and give him a starting job.

You just don't know either of those things, Al.

Of course he's going to say all of the right things now, and it would make sense that he'd do what he has to to achieve his objective, but he's done this "I'm a changed man" routine all before. He's T.O...and the same things that have always driven him are driving him to this.

We don't know about the separation issue either, but then....he's T.O. and that wouldn't be surprising at all. Still, he's approaching 50 and no matter how much of a physical freak he is, he's still a 50 year old freak attempting to play a very grueling sport.

I don't question his abilities so much as I have concern for injury and his well being. His sometimes erratic behavior makes me think of CTE. Does anyone know about that with him? Is it worth the risk?

No matter what, if I were a GM, I would want no parts of that circus....and the one certainty is that it WILL be a circus.

I'll always love T.O. for what he did here, and I'll always root for him (as long as it's not against the Eagles, then I want him crushed, lol). It's a shame, really, in that he was an excellent receiver who was on the verge of being one of the greatest, maybe behind only Jerry Rice....but now he's largely not thought of amongst the very greatest....if at all....and NOTHING he can do now will ever change that.

yeah well Minshew came out looking like he was having a hangover from New Year's Eve, very shaky. They took another bad injury to a crucial position too. Also the refs made 2 absolutely awful calls which cost them.

The season was too good to be true, they'll be lucky if they win another game.

What adds to the shit is I'm about to lose my playoff game to Timster. At the last minute I took Swift out and played Robinson and of course Swift and Mostert who is also on my team both kicked ass. I also played Trevor Lawrence who had his worst game of the year.

And he can be blingin' too. Then what? It never ends with him!

Eagles were bad today, just bad....flat, dull, dead...bad.

In any team sport, but football more than any, when a team is rolling they simply can't take their foot off of the gas. Whether that's during a single game or during the season. It's often a game of momentum, and all are games of confidence, a nudge in one direction or the other is all it takes sometimes.

Now, Al will say Hurts is back next week and the Eagles will be fine, but there are NO givens. None. Besides, he only plays on one side of the ball and the Eagles defense and play calling has been poo the past two weeks (played the bend but don't break crap too much, and I hate that philosophy, always have).

Then, there are injuries, which are always a concern, especially late in any season. The Eagles were very fortunate most of the season but it's hitting them at the worse time.

Also, come playoff time, there will be no easy games...and they're all win or go home.

Now our backs are up against the wall for home field. I guess we're about to see what the Eagles are really made of.

(Planeteer)

01/05/23 09:46 AM

Re: It's Game Day

No, he'll never play again. Let's just really hope he recovers.

In reading accounts of the event, it seems the response was as good as it could possibly be.
Still, it is a MAJOR traumatic event and it can't be known how much time it lasted until he was actually stabilized and how much damage has occurred. Every single minute matters....a LOT.

Physically, he was saved, but I have no idea how he is neurologically.
What his EEG shows during this time is what will matter most.

Generally, if there is activity, meaning not brain death, and that activity is normal or is improving or getting worse, is...well...mostly everything.

He is in a medically induced coma, surely on a pad to cool and keep his body temp down to prevent/minimize damage to his brain/organs. Generally, during this cooled down phase/coma, his brain will be rendered inactive (basically) on purpose, in order to allow healing. Typically, the medically induced coma will last for about 2-3 days and then they'll bring him out of it (if everything else is going well) to assess brain function(EEG)/response. If deemed necessary, they'll re-induce the coma for a 2-3 more days and repeat. The more/longer that occurs, the worse it is.

He has youth on his side. He is no doubt receiving the absolute best care. As of now, I'm sure there is hope he will fully recover, but any day now, there will be an update - hopefully majorly good...but he will never play football again...and who cares about that?

Pull through, young man!!!!! ❤

01/05/23 10:00 AM

Re: It's Game Day

Yeah. I was thinking about what you said even before you said it. Of course his health comes first. But football probably comes in 3rd for him, after the well being of his loved ones. Nothing wrong with hoping for a miracle though.

01/05/23 10:23 AM

Re: It's Game Day

Absolutely!

That said, even if he would be capable, and with a full recovery he would be capable, it could never be worth the risk. Besides, no team would let him or take the risk themselves. So, unfortunately, he'll never ever play again...I'm sorry to say.

Honestly Adam, if he doesn't come out of this coma and immediately show very positive signs, signs of normal neurologic function, concern would pop into my head. That doesn't mean that in time he wouldn't get to that, but....well....let's just hope that happens.

I'm wondering what the league is going to do about that game. I was listening to local sports radio a little while ago and they were suggesting the possibility that the league may let this weekend playout to see if that game even matters. Or they may play that game this weekend and bump the rest of the schedule forward in time.

But if they were to let the schedule go as planned to see if that game is even relevant and have those teams play again later if necessary - and it ends up not being necessary and therefore that game never gets played - what happens to the huge amounts of betting in the bigtime fantasy leagues? That could get messy.

I'm kinda glad the Bills didn't get a bye. They look like they can use the extra game to work the bugs out. Allen needs to learn to be less greedy. The last possession before the end of the 1st 1/2 coulda ended in an easy field goal. Instead the last 8 minutes ended in an interception/turnover. The defense looked pretty soft too.

Wouldve been nice to see the Eagles play the Giant's starters today. They got lucky theyre resting them for the playoffs.

The Eagles didn't play well offensively but they played well enough. Al is right, the game wasn't anywhere as close as the final score. Basically, the Eagles played a soft zone for most of the game and the entire 2nd half. Starters or not, the Giants are mediocre at best (they stink).

I'm glad the Eagles got some game time in with Hurts though.

The good news is the Cowboys were wretched. That's always nice for Eagles fans.

Here's hoping the Liars beat the Packers; I'd like to see them knocked out.

Congrats on the Bills season, Adam. Wishing them luck through the AFC playoffs.

Sorry I can't wish the same for the Vikqueens at this point in the year, Timster....and who ever saw a 12-13 win team have a negative point differential for the season? Means they barely squeaked by in some wins and got blown out big in most of their loses (which I know isn't news, but).

Well, here's hoping the NFC beats each other up next week!

Agreed!

So the Eagles get the 10th pick in the draft. We were hoping for 6th. I heard on WIP that the Eagles are looking at Joey Porter Jr., CB from Penn State. What do you think?

Maybe to replace Bradberry? Can we/will we keep Bradberry? Should we pay him?

There are 3 big lineman the Eagles will take if available. Hargrove in particular is going to be really expensive to resign. If none of those 3 are available they will probably take a CB.

They need to resign Bradbury, he's better than Slay.

I mostly like these picks, but it's not likely all of the home teams win. Dallas is better than the Bucs and should win, but I wouldn't put anything past Brady...ever....not yet.

I don't think there's any way the Vikes lose to the Midgets....they're such a mediocre team, at best.

One of the home teams are going down. Which one will it be? I'm going Bucs....Cowpokes win....Dallas IS a dangerous team, whether anyone likes it or not.

Personally, my take was that simply being a rookie QB put an exceptional amount of subconscious pressure on Purdy, which he needed to overcome in order to eventually regain his normal stride in this game.

He knew at halftime that things were not looking as they should have been, and steps needed to be taken immediately to alter the direction the overall game play that was being orchestrated.

The change in plans from that halftime locker room discussion was absolutely invaluable, and was exactly was the 49'ers needed to get back on track.

Brady wants to get to 100,000 passing yards so that no one will even think about catching him.

With a pass happy league, expanded schedules, and improved training/conditioning, someone probably will eventually. It's a lot to give up to be 2nd. 😂

I don't think the Eagles will make it either. They'll beat the Giants, can beat the Cowgirls but that's hardly a given, but won't beat the 49ers.

And if Hurts isn't himself, they'll be in for a fight against the Giants. The Giants aren't that good, but the Eagles aren't exactly a machine without the threat of Hurts and what they did this season when he was at his best.

(Planeteer)

01/18/23 02:33 AM

Re: It's Game Day

The bengals are way down on the list at 30. I wonder how the last game wouldve turned out. It was pretty even until they stopped it. Bengals had a little more passing yards, but Bills had more rushing yards. It's been like 3 years since they played last and both teams have different lineups now. So, no telling how 4 quarters would be. Up until last week, the bills started to perform better the 2nd 1/2 too.

New England have more sacks than miami, but the NE game was an easier win. They had their starting QB too. Almost makes me think the Miami game was staged, the Bills were so bad.

(Planeteer)

01/18/23 03:19 AM

Re: It's Game Day

Well, it's not all about sacks or any other single area/stat/metric.
The best teams are balanced and may excel in an area or two.

As far as sacks, the Bills were one of the best at not giving up many. The Eagles were middle of the pack, though their differential was still very good. The bottom line for a defense is keeping points off the boards, no matter how you do it.

A team might not give up a ton of yards but be bad in the red zone and give up points. Conversely, another team might give up more yards but be good in the red zone and not give up many points. Another team might be in the middle of the pack but have a lot of take-aways, which is extremely important, on both sides of the ball.

Then there is run offense and defense, so it's not all about the passing game, of course.

Funny how you said the Bills O-line has to step up but they're one of the best at not giving up sacks. In Philly, we believe we have one of the best O-lines but we're middle of the pack at giving up sacks. Of course, stats, any stats, can be skewed, such as with a running QB giving up more sacks, a more run heavy offense giving up less, etc.

In Philly, we've been on D-coordinator Jonathon Gannon all year, with lots of fans calling for him to be let go. Yet, the Birds defense gave up LESS than one yard per game more than the 49ers this season (and Washington was only 3 yards more than that).

That's because in Philly, we like the defense to be one that ATTACKS, like Buddy Ryan, Bud Carson, and Jimmy Johnson's of the past. But Gannon's gave up less yards and got more sacks than ANY of them. And lots of that yardage given up was after many of the games were decided in the 1st half and he went into a prevent defense....and therein lies the rub: his D played lots of zone and we HATE the zone and giving up yardage. The Philly fans want the team to be in attack mode constantly, even if it means making mistakes, giving up big plays, and more points. That's because they feel that style reflects who we are as a city, and it does.

Of course, Gannon will be a head coach somewhere next year, so the fans will get their wish for him to be replaced.

Regarding stats and skewing: As noted above, SF and the Eagles gave up nearly an identical number of yards per game, yes SF is considered to have the best D. That's because SF was best at giving up the least # of points this year at 16.3 The Eagles weren't far off at 20.2...but that's a score+ per game. Was it because SF was better in the red zone? Gave up fewer big plays? Had more take-aways? Or was it because the Eagles got up early and got up big and wasn't as concerned about giving up points in the 2nd half of games. Beyond the stats, I can tell you that the Eagles did just that, shutting down teams early and seemingly taking their foot off of the gas both defensively AND offensively. They were only 1 point per game behind KC offensively, that despite not scoring at all in the 2nd half of some games, or scoring much less than the 1st half as they seemed to coast.

Had the Eagles kept their foot on the gas on both sides of the ball in every game, I think it's a pretty good bet they would have had the highest rated offense and defense, both in yards, yards allowed, yards per game, and points per game.

They mostly got away with it, but that's something that concerned me all year. Football, more than any other team sport, IMHO, is a game of momentum...both within each game and from game to game. And he who peaks at the right time, wins in the post season. The Eagles didn't peak at the right time. It doesn't matter if it was due to injury, the bottom line is that they didn't.

Anyway, just my $0.02.

01/18/23 03:33 AM

Re: It's Game Day

I know there are a lot of variables. But it seems like Allen always goes for the hail mary when the defense puts too much pressure on him. In the most recent game especially, he hardly takes what the defense gives him. He passed up a lot of easy opportunities. 2 very good running backs are under utilized too. At first, I thought Singletary wasn't any good. But when the ball finally made it in his hands a few times, my opinion changed.

I agree momentum is crucial. It's hard to get it back when you lose it.

3) So that the Kelce brothers get to play a Superbowl against each other.

I gotta say....I am more worried about the Jags than any other team......the Chiefs tend to play down to there opponents and in the playoffs....squeaking out a win at the end is more difficult than in the regular season imo. The fear of an upset this weekend is very real here in KC.

Re: It's Game Day

At their best, the Eagles could beat any other team in the NFL. That's because not only are they deep and super solid everywhere, they have big play capability on both sides of the ball, and are capable of jumping on teams, setting momentum on their side, thereby dictating how the other team plays having to play catch up, and making it easier to defend.

Unfortunately for them, they haven't been playing at their best for some time now and, no matter how healthy Hurts is, they're likely not going to. The teams that go into the playoffs healthy and on a roll, win. It's really that simple.

They need a perfect game to beat these birds, no turnovers, dropped balls, and penalties. They are playing with house money and a bunch of 3rd stringers at wide receiver who believe in themselves. All the pressure is on Philly to win. Unlike most of their fan base, the Philly coaching staff isn't looking past this game. Should be a good one.

In all seriousness, the Iggles should win this one without too much problem. Of course, that's when things usually don't go that way. And yes, the pressure is on the Eagles, as it is on every team rated higher than their opponent, and at home. The Giants have already gone further than could have been expected, so it's already a successful season for them. For the Eagles, it's Superbowl or bust.

I can't get away with anything.

Just know that NYC has always been my second love, since I was just a little boy. I spent a LOT of time in and around the city for years (like 5 days/nights a week). But I could never allow myself to root for the Giants or Mets when in season if the Eagles or Phils were competing...I had to go Yanks and Jets. But when not, I always rooted for my brothers from another suburb.

In all, the odds are against that 6-0 streak to continue. But the Giants have been giant killers, no doubt. Let's enjoy the game....and make sure to come back afterwards!

That said, when I think about our O-line of Kelce, Lane Johnson, Mailata, first time all pro Landon Dickerson and the vastly underrated Isaac Seumalo, I just know they will not be denied.

Agreed. The East is the best division in MLB, and the Mets and Braves are extremely talented.

The Phillies are solid but not on the same level. Not having Harper for half the year is gonna hurt. Hopefully it won't be crushing.

The Mets have ownership that every fan in ever sports dreams of having. Too bad about Correa. The Mets getting him was downright scary. Maybe it's for the best, long term. They're probably the only team who could loose two quality starters and come out of it being even better. Incredible. They're going to be the team to beat for a long time in the NL East/NL, if not all of baseball. Sucks thinking about for the rest of us, but good for you....baseball in NY as it should be!

If the Eagles can get out to a two score lead, it will be a long day for the Giants.
If not, and the Giants can keep the ball on the ground, it could be a real battle.

My opinion:
Not only are players playing for $$ next year, the O and D coordinators are auditioning for head coaching spots (and money) next year too. They have to do everything possible to make a statement....or at least not let an underdog take them out. This is a really important game, maybe beyond what is typical.

The Eagles D is well rested and, along with the offense capability of striking early, are going to put the hammer down like in the first game with the Giants this year.

Eagles 38-17 and it won't be that close.

Now: fuck off Al. FFS Grow up!

Re: It's Game Day

In the first game, the Giants were short McKinney and Jackson in the defensive backfield. In the second game they sat out their 1st string and they made it a game 22-16. You are dreaming at 38-17. Like i said a nor'easter is coming your way and you're already playing Dallas or San Fran in your head. Good luck with that. As a Big Blue fan, I'm hoping your players have the same mind set because if they do, the blowout is going the other way.

Been a rough day at the office so far for the New York Football Giants.
Coming out, the Eagles looked confident and the Giants looked tentative, and that's not a good look. After the Eagles first drive, the Giants looked like...uh oh, not this chit again.
After the second score, it was worse.

The Eagles haven't teed off on Jones, instead focusing on containment. It's worked.
We Eagle fans like super aggressive defense, but this contain D has been doing the job all season.

There's still another half to go, and I hope the Birds keep the hammer down, at least on defense, at least through the 3rd quarter....and get at least one more TD.

Of course, we've seen a couple times this year that anything can happen, but I don't think so.
The Eagles will let up enough that the Giants get a couple of scores late.

As I said earlier in the thread, when playing like they can, the Eagles can beat any other team.
That said, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Yesterday it was the Giants, a far cry from the rest of the teams left.

The 49ers will beat the Cowpies today, and we'll have to prepare for them. The same thing I said above regarding the Giants applies. But I don't see it going that way against the 49ers. Both teams are going to have to scratch and claw. The Eagles D will have to look to attack more, stop McCaffrey from getting out into the open field and gashing them, gets sacks early, and go for takeaways. On offense, they're not going to be able to waltz to the end zone laughing to themselves against the 49ers.

It should be a really good game....and whoever wins it, will win the SuperBowl....you heard it here first.

Cowboys played in the NFC Championship on Jan. 21, 1996.

Jalen Hurts was born on Aug. 7, 1998.

Jalen Hurts grew up, learned how to play football, squatted 600 lbs, graduated college, got drafted by the Eagles, made it to the NFC Championship and Dallas still hasn't been to one.

Glad you took that is the playful sprit it was meant, Dave. I don't want you to think I'm an asshole. I am (just ask Al), I just don't want you to think that. $\:D$

Speaking of Al, he and I are now united, in the Eagles quest for a SuperBowl, and his quest for a properly functioning VS-1680. Who would've ever thunk it? That's the great thing about sports and music - assholes setting aside their differences and working together for the greater good.

And what was that final play by the Cowboys? I get what they were thinking....quick "screen" pass, lateral it back to Dak, have him bide time behind all of the lineman on his left, unload a hail Mary to recivers an overloaded right side. But they should have just overloaded with lineman/blockers in the center of the field, had their fastest players (WR and DBs) overload the right, and give that a shot. That play had NO shot.

I don't know if that decision was McCarthy or Kellen Moore - but either way some of the play calling from the Cowboys absolutely baffles me.

That game was winnable. Obviously. Just a little bit of performance from Dak could have made the difference. Anyway - it is what it is.

As a fan, it's so frustrating. You can't help but wonder what they're seeing and thinking. They have eyes everywhere, so they have to be seeing it. Are they too stubborn to make adjustments? Do they think that eventually what they're doing will work? You have to wonder how that affects the players' psyche too...they have to be thinking the same things.

(Loquacious Planeteer)

01/23/23 04:52 PM

Re: It's Game Day

They bought into Dak way too much from the start because they liked his persona. Similar to the way the Eagles did with Carson Wentz but at least Wentz showed signs of greatness even though he clearly lacked the right stuff.

If Jerry was smart he'd release Dak and try to get David Carr or Garoppolo, flawed QBs in their own right but with at least enough talent to get them to the big game. Maybe even Trey Lance from San Fran who might have some potential, Dak never showed much sign of being more than mediocre, kind of like Daniel Jones from the Jerks.

Birds now favored by 2 1/2. That sounds like a pretty good bet for Niner fans.

01/24/23 07:52 AM

Re: It's Game Day

I remember that Bills game. That was such an Bills excellent team. Too bad they couldn't win one of those SuperBowls. I always liked Kelly and really like Thurman Thomas...Andre Reed, Lofton, and Beebe. Really liked them all.

Speaking of wanting something our team once was (and Warren Moon).
1991 Eagles: #1 overall defense. #1 in rushing yards allowed. #1 in yards after the catch. #1 in sacks. #1 in takeaways. #1 in fumble recoveries. #3 in interceptions. 2.9 yards a carry. 43 forced fumbles.

5 pro bowlers on defense including 3 of their 4 D-lineman.
They were menacing, they hit ferociously, and they were always looking to strip the ball (or knock it loose from hitting you hard).
Wes Hopkins didn't make the Pro Bowl but he was a FEROCIOUS hitter. His mate, Andre (Dirty) Waters was too.

They went into Houston, the #1 offense who was tearing everyone up, and also had a great defense....they called their place The House Of Pain. The Eagles defense beat them so thoroughly that after the game, Jerome Brown said, "they brought the house, we brought the pain". They destroyed the Oilers.

They played the Cowboys, the Cowboys of Aikman, Irving, and Emmitt Smith, and held them the NINETY (90!) total yards on offense, sacking Aikman ELEVEN (11) times. Clyde Simmons had 4.5 sacks by himself.

The defense was a holdover from Buddy Ryan, with Bud Carson (of Steel Curtain fame) as the coordinator. Too bad that Kotite was the HC...and Randall Cunningham was out all year (only attempted 4 passes in one game). That defense was fun to watch, really fun. The best I've ever seen. Gang Green...

It's why, even with an excellent defense this year, Eagles fans want more....we want this!

Re: It's Game Day

I agree. It's just a natural progression in athletics. Players are bigger, strong, faster. Training is worlds better, nutrition is better (PEDS and hiding PEDs is better, lol).

But I think that great players, of any sports, in any era, would be great in any other. It's not their physical attributes that make them great, it's what's between their ears.

At the pro level, while there is the occasional athlete that is just a freak of nature, they're all so close athletically. It's will and determination, along with sports IQ, that makes great players what they are. The greatest are those with an indominable will.

Nobody I know is worried at all....in fact, just about everyone I know was hoping for the rematch of last years AFC Championship game......and I am confident that the players feel the same way. I was definitely more nervous about having to play the Bills.....I thought they were gonna be a destiny team after the Hamlin incident.

That being said, I was hoping the Bills would win last week because Burrow seems like a super douchy person while Josh Allen seems like a good guy.

Shannon Sharpe?

You mean the former Denver Bronco????? There's the problem.......of course he would say that.....he is and always has been a Chiefs hater.....he knows damn good and well that there isn't a single Chief 'afraid' of the Bengals.

That being said, I am glad the Chiefs are a -1.5 underdog......everyone is betting on the Bengals and I think that plays well for us.

All in all, If Mahomes can play (actually play....not that shit he managed to pull off last week).....it is going to be a great game and imo....it could go either way. The Chiefs tend to play to the talent of their opponents so I would expect them to be at the top of their game against a great team like the Bengals.....but I don't think there is any question who the better QB is between the two.......other than the head to head record which Burrow has......which of the two is breaking and setting all of the records in the books? I always think it is silly to say that one QB has lost to another QB as if they are the only two who determine the winner.....like there aren't 50+ other players and coaches involved. I also think the reason the Chiefs have struggled with the Bengals in the last 3 games is all on Andy Reid.

Out of curiosity Adam, who is your team? I remember seeing it somewhere in the last 24 pages but I don't remember who it is?

I'm not comparing Mahomes to Burrow. The Bengals just look like they have it all together, on both the offense and defense. Geez, they totally humiliated the Bills last Sunday. The score was 27-10, but seemed much worse. Had it not been snowing, Im confident they woulda broke 50.

I think the Bengals are a great team but I think the Chiefs will beat them somewhere around 35-31.

I believe the Eagles D-line will make things very uncomfortable for Brock Purdy Boy and the Birds will win 24-14 in a game not as close as that score indicates.

That will set up the Chiefs/Eagles Stupor Bowl which will in fact go on to be called the Greatest Game in NFL history, Mahomes coming from behind to beat the Eagles 45-44.

For the Iggles, if Hurts can't run like he has, the 49ers D-line will give them fits. They will shut down the run game and be in Hurts suit all game. Hurts will have to be on his best passing and take advantage of the 49ers DBs with Brown and Smith, with Goedert as the safety valve underneath. It's Brown's chance to have a big game. They can do it.

Re: It's Game Day

There are certain areas of the city where people congregate and it goes on. One of them is about 10 minutes from where I live in NE Philly.

People really get stupid, but the last few celebrations (Eagles/Philles) weren't bad.

The worst I ever witnessed, and found myself in as a kid, was the Flyers Stanley Cup back in the 1974. People lit things on fire, tore things up, and were rocking cars as they tried to drive down the (main) street, and did so until they flipped one over. Me and a friend jumped on the back of a Triumph convertible that had the top down, driven by a guy and his girl, and driving at a crawl through the crowd. We were sitting on the back of the car with our feet behind the their seats; they had no idea we were sitting there. As they approached the end of the crowd, the car suddenly took off. We panicked and jumped off. It was like a movies scene, and we went sprawling/rolling on the street. We were scratched, scraped, and bleeding a bit. It was a lesson in inertia.

Anyway, and that was in "the good part" of the city.

One thing is certain: I won't be at any championship celebration.

Re: It's Game Day

The Eagles and the 49ers are as close as could be in talent and their matchups, except for QB, which IS a big deal.

Besides that, is home field advantage, which is not to be underestimated.

What the 49ers have in their favor is that they come in firing on all cylinders, also not to be underestimated.

Whoever wins the line of scrimmages will win...and I think to win, both have to be won.

Originally, I picked the 49ers and Bengals, but I'm switching to the Eagles.

The Chiefs are a great team, and have Mahomes and Kelce, the best in the league at their positions. But JuJu has pretty much been shut down against good teams.

The Bengals are a rough and tumble team that plays smart too. They can impose their will and break teams' psyche, I don't think they can do that to the Chief's offense, but to their defense? I dunno.

Originally, I picked the Bengals and I'm gonna stick with them, although my gut is saying the Chiefs will come away with the victory....I would love to see the Eagles and Chiefs in the SB.

Alright Al, say it with me: E-A-G-L-E-S....EAGLES! 🦅🦅🦅🦅

Re: It's Game Day

I really feel strongly that tomorrow will be a good day. The only hesitation I have is remembering a game we played against them in the Chip Kelly era with Alex Smith as their QB, they just kept the ball all game with these long drives.

I feel if we stay turnover free we'll definitely win and I suspect we'll take a few from them. heh

The 49ers D is playing really well. The Eagles need to establish the run.

On D, the Eagles have to focus on containing McCaffrey (which I mentioned before the game). Once he gets some space, and into the open field, he's always a threat to take it to the house - he's a great back. The Eagles have been gifted a #4 QB, they can't blow it.

Give credit the the 49ers, they're playing really well with the hand they've been dealt.

49ers have been terribly unlucky today. Hate to see it with such an important game. It seems to be causing the defense to have to try to be overly aggressive, and causing mistakes/penalties.

The fumble by QB Johnson was a killer. Too bad. Really hate to see it all. You wanna play the best at their best, win or lose. If the Eagles win, this will put a cloud over it.

Eagles have to not let them score before half-time. They're in a prevent now.

Re: It's Game Day

He didn't try to injure him, he was just trying to get to him, get to the ball. It's a perfectly legit part of the game. Nothing cheap about it.

I wonder if they have ultrasound on hand. It can really help with nerve impingement, etc. Although it would be the longest of shots, it would be worth a shot.

If you've never experienced nerve issues in the elbow/wrist, etc. (like hitting your funny bone), the feeling goes right down your arm and effects your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fingers. They can go completely numb, and it lingers as the feeling slowly comes back. Very weird feeling.

*Edit: with your wrist, it affects the thumb and index finger, with the elbow, as above.

The 49ers D is playing like they're possessed, and making it difficult. They're a great team. Hopefully Purdy can go, and not have McCaffery be the QB...although that would be interesting. Frankly, it might be too interesting, having him free to run wild. I'd rather see Purdy in there.

The Eagles will need to strike fast and first, and then try to keep the ball on the ground and out of his hands as much as possible to win.

It should be a very good game. But then, how many SuperBowls should have been but weren't? It seems like it would be a high scoring affair, but I don't think it's going to be due to their defenses. I'm gonna guess mids 20s for both, with a timely turnover(s) being the deciding factor(s).

Yes, Timster; and that's EXACTLY why I was so pissed about that game, in general.

It could NOT have been more obvious in regards to the highly favored direction of officiating in that game, unless the refs started tripping up Bengal ball carriers on mad runs for the end zone, or throwing blocks on them during kickoff returns.

An absolutely APPALLING season for the referees in the entire NFL, altogether. They completely changed the momentum, direction, and outcome of SO MANY games in the 2022-2023 season it makes me want to vomit.

You know, it's bad enough when you're on your FOURTH STRING quarterback in a Conference Championship game. You REALLY don't need assistance from crap calls from a ref or two.

But, the Bengals/Chiefs game had 'FIX' written all over it right out of the gate. I was in shock call after call after call.

It was SO BAD, my wife and I stopped watching the game just before halftime. We both said that there was NO way the refs were going to allow Cincy to beat KC AGAIN, no matter what. Especially with home field advantage.

I had an odd feeling waiting for the Birds game on Sunday. I was reminded of other games where both teams were really good, these in particular back in the 80s when the Niners and Cowboys were always playing in championship games. And after watching the Chiefs/Bengals I had a similar feeling that I had then, that the NFC teams are way better overall squads. Back then the NFC would win pretty much every Superbowl by 30 or 40 points. That could actually happen in this case but I think this upcoming one will be very high scoring. Mahomes is unstoppable and the Birds will have AJ Brown and Devonta Smith going wild.

Bengals have a faster offense. Burrow is the fastest QB in the NFL today. Hurts moves at a snail's pace in comparison.

(Planeteer)

01/31/23 08:04 AM

Re: It's Game Day

Really?

Joe Burrow has a 4.76 40 yard dash time.
Jalen Hurts has a 4.59 40 yard dash time.
Justin Fields has a 4.46 40 yard dash time.
Michael Vick had a 4.33 40 yard dash time, the fastest of any QB in NFL history (nobody ever caught Vick from behind).

Hurts is much faster than Burrow and Fields is WAY faster.

Hurts is also the best power running QB in the league, maybe ever. Nobody can get 1-3 yards on 4th down like him.

Hurts rushed for 13 TDs this season, tied for SECOND in the LEAGUE, including RBs (and in 1-2 less games). FWIW, Burrow had 5 (still very good for a QB). Also, Cam Newton holds the record for rushing TDs by a QB at 14. Hurts would have easily broke that record if not for getting injured (but it is what it is).

Obviously, you didn't watch Hurts much this season!

Also, the Eagles had the fastest striking offense in the NFL this season. Nobody jumped on opponents like they did, often able to basically take the second half of games off (which I hated, lol).

They also were the most ballsy team in the league going for it on 4th downs. The first game against the Giants, they were up 14-0 and went for it on 4th and 8, getting a touchdown and ripping out the Giants' hearts in doing so. That was the Eagles this season.

02/01/23 02:59 AM

Re: It's Game Day

You poor Chiefs wishful thinkers. The Eagles are too deep and completely healthy. They're gonna come in unrelenting waves, on both sides of the ball.

The big bad 49ers were supposed to grind the Eagles down with their mean, mean defense, but instead the Eagles handled them up front with zero problems and ground them down, even though the 49ers D was playing like a team possessed.

Take away the Eagles passing, they'll run it down your throat. Take away their running game, they'll strike fast, get up by 2 or 3 TDs, then run it down your throat.

The Eagles were 3rd in total offense and 3rd in scoring. That's with having large 1st half leads in about half of their games and taking their foot off of the gas in second half of those games.

The Eagles had 2 receivers over 1000 yds, and TE Goedert would have been a 3rd (700 yds) but he only played 12 games. The Chiefs had 1. Oh, we also had a RB rush for over 1000 yds, the Chiefs had none. In fact, our QB ran for almost as many yards as your #1 RB, in 2 less games. Oh, our QB RAN for more TDs (13) than ANYONE on the Chiefs scored, by run or pass (Kelce at 12).

The Chiefs had a better passing game, but were 20th in the run game. That's the bottom 3rd in the league. Their problem is that the Eagles had the best defense against the pass. They had had 70 sacks, 15 more than the next team, and 4 players with 11+ sacks, including 3 D lineman, the first time in NFL history (the Chiefs had 1). Know what that means? it means they didn't have to blitz their DBs and were able to have more men consistently in coverage. Again, that was with taking their foot off of the gas in many games and playing a soft zone....and they can go 7 deep on their D line. LB Hassan Reddick had 16 sacks, second behind only the excellent DE Nick Bosa of SF, who just happened to be handled by the slightly hobbled All Pro RT Lane Johnson of the Eagles last Sunday (who won't be slightly hobbled in the SB).

Oh yeah, besides those 70 sacks, the Eagles were 4th in takeaways, the Chiefs 22nd. Yeah, we're gonna get you and/or the ball, one way or another.

Sure, the Chiefs have the most high powered passing game in the NFL, and the best overall offense....but only 1.1 points better per game than the Eagles. That's right, one.one points (without our star QB for 2 games)....and we're much better running the ball, IOW, more balanced and able to win in more ways (we go 3 deep at RB, PLUS Hurts). Again, that's with taking the foot off of the gas in so many 2nd halfs, and Hurts out for two games.

Most importantly, the Chiefs vaunted offense hardly sliced up the Bengals. In fact, the Chiefs barely won, only by a FG with 27 seconds left in the game....at home. Know why? The Bengals, even though their defense was just middle of the pack, are a tough, gritty team. Know who has a much better defense and is even tougher and grittier? That's right, the Eagles. The Chiefs haven't faced a defense like ours this year.

Scared yet, Chiefs fans? You should be....

42-24 Eagles.

Eagles have 2 1,000+ yard receivers and a QB who threw for 3,701 yds......we have no less than 8 or 9 people a game catching the ball and a QB who threw for 5,250 yds. Mahomes threw for almost twice as many TD's as Hurst.....if you add up all TD's by QB....Hurst had 35 and Mahomes had 45. Oh yeah, did I mention that the Eagles had the 2nd easiest schedule while the Chiefs had by far the most difficult? The Chiefs were expected to be 3rd or 4th in the AFC West......the other teams in the division spent around a billion $'s combined to try to compete with the Chiefs.....and look how that turned out!

As for us 'barely beating the Bengals'.....sure...Mahomes played on one leg for half of the game and by half time....we had lost all but one of our top 4 receivers and Mahomes was able to some how get it done with receivers he had practically never played with! In fact I read yesterday that one of the last receivers we had (Kemp I believe) had more tackles in his NFL career than he had receptions......and that is who Mahomes used to beat the mighty Bengals.....

Personally, I expect it to be an amazing game that will likely come down to the last play. I think Mahomes and Hurst are 2 of the best in the game right now and they should put on quite a show! I can hardly wait......

Hey IM...I just wanted to throw some crap out there to get you riled up. $\:D$

It should be a great game, and I think Walrus is right....it's pretty much a toss up.
I think the two best teams really did make it this year.

Best of luck, my friend....may the team who gets one more turnover than the other win!

P.S. I will always have much love for Andy Reid, and as you know, think SUPER highly of Mahomes, on and off the field, and have much respect for the Chiefs, who are a great franchise. Here's hoping Mahomes is and stays 100% healthy for the game, and we both play our best.

ok I guess I'm ready to make my final prediction.

I've been feeling like the Birds have the Chiefs outmanned and there's probably no way they can lose. but something is bugging me. Mahomes. He's got magic. I hesitate to do this cause of superstition that I've been picking the Eagles all year. but I can only visualize the Chiefs winning at the end. 40-36

(Planeteer)

02/09/23 01:30 PM

Re: It's Game Day

There's not a chance the Chiefs lay 40 on the Birds. The Chiefs are going to have difficulties with the Eagles D, especially the D line, but also the secondary, who will stay back in coverage. Unless the Chiefs can get a quick lead AND run the ball, the Eagles will win. No matter what, the Chiefs aren't coming close to 40....

...but the Eagles will. Hurts has been resting, this IS his time to shine and he's going lay it all out, with his arm and his legs. And as he goes, the Birds will go.

It's the Eagles who will strike fast and hard, put 3 scores on the board, then ram the running game down the Chiefs throats while still going for the big play...and won't let off the gas late like in so many regular season games. Again, the (O)line will be huge.

Eagles 42-24...and it won't be that close.

(Loquacious Planeteer)

02/09/23 01:35 PM

shit I hope you're right. but remember, the Cowgirls put up a 40 not that long ago. I also think Hurts is still not 100%.

02/09/23 01:46 PM

Re: It's Game Day

The Cowpokes game was a classic letdown game. There won't be any letdowns. Agreed with Hurts, but he has nothing to hold back for. The Eagles are gonna let him rip, and he will rip enough to be a threat and open the field for the three 1000 yard guys (and the O-line is going to be crushing). I also think the Eagles get a couple of major take aways that really kill the Chiefs.

Re: It's Game Day

The day is finally here and I am ready to make my prediction. I am picking the Chiefs to beat the Eagles for their 2nd Super Bowl win in the Mahomes era. I am predicting the score to be higher than what Vegas is saying (51 total) and I am going with a score of 35 to 31.

According to my wife (who follows football waaaaay closer than I do) she says we are totally healthy (with the exception of Mecole Hardman who has been out most of the season). My biggest concern has been that we lost so many offensive and defensive players in that game against the Bengals. I have thought all along that in order to beat the Eagles, we were going to need everyone to recover and be able to play and from the sounds of it, that has happened.

Out of curiosity, how are the Eagles health wise? Are they going to be without anyone today or are there players that are banged up that won't be playing at full strength? I hope not. I want both teams playing healthy and at full strength. If that is the case, this game has the potential to be the one of the best ever imo.

May both teams stay healthy throughout the game and may the best team win.......and may that team be the Chiefs!!!!!

GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!

It's gonna be difficult to be a more exciting Stupidbowl than the the Eagles win over the Patriots, and I don't think this game will come close to that.

Although their strengths are different, these two teams are extremely close in capabilities. Logically speaking, it should be a close game, like Thad has predicted. But that's exactly why it won't be. Someone is going to pull ahead and put the hammer down, and I have predicted it to be the Eagles.

Like you, Thad, I love my team and am excited for the game, but in the grand scheme of things, it has zero effect on my life. I just want to enjoy the game, and the fact of it being my hometown team. I also enjoy that the opposing team is the hometown team of some folks here. Best of luck to your team, but I hope the Eagles crush them! $\:D$ ...and I'm sure you feel the same way about the Chiefs. $\:\)$

Let's hope it's as exciting as Al thinks it will be!

Well, the reason for the Bengal's losses early in the season is probably because Burrow was still recovering from his appendix surgery. I'm sure they woulda went undefeated.

Re: It's Game Day

The Eagles have to adjust on defense. They're playing back in coverage, but Mahomes to Kelce is the single most devastating combo in the NFL. They can't contain Kelce in coverage, they have to do it by pressuring Mahomes. ATTACK!!!!

The Eagles need to establish the run a bit, to wear down the Chiefs D, keep Mahomes off the field as much as possible, and open up the passing game.
Where's Sanders?

I agree on that helmet to helmet no call.....that should have been called.

Winning this game was a tall order from the get go for both teams imo......but now Mahomes is gonna have to do it with one leg.....not a good look imo......but if any one can do it....he can....he showed it in the AFC Championship......the question may become....is Chad Henne capable of winning the Super Bowl????

The Eagles held the Chiefs offense to 7 points. The Eagles should have been up more, maybe 31-7, but then, take-aways/fumbles/interceptions matter, so it is what it is.

Hopefully Mahomes is okay, IM. Of course, we'd like an easier path, but you never want to see a great player hurt, especially in such an important game.

To be honest, when it got close to game time, I had a gut feeling that Hurts was gonna choke from the pressure.

Had the defense played a little better or even if the special teams didnt goof, they wouldve won.

Re: It's Game Day

Thad, please PM me your address/contact info! Tastykakes are interesting. $\:\)$ I'd love to send soft pretzels, but they get stale within the day, and don't freeze/refrigerate well. So, Tastykakes it is!

Adam: all credit to the Chiefs for making adjustments at half time, on defense as well as offense. The 4th quarter was brutal for the Eagles. The Chiefs took the momentum and that was that.

Mahomes, for all of his greatness, has/does a couple of things that put him beyond any QB I've ever seen. He has a sixth sense in the pocket, steps up in it/moves out of it at perfect times, sometimes just for the inch or two needed to avoid getting sacked/hit. He never stops looking downfield and can complete passes from crazy angles, even as he's going down, and just break the back of a defense. There's never been another QB like him.

That said, even though his QB rating was higher than Hurts due to throwing two more TD passes, I also think Hurts game overall might have been even better. Like with the regular season MVP between those two, so was the SB MVP, and in reality, it was fitting.

But who really killed the Eagles was RB Isiah Pacheco. He's good, he's really good...a speedy little dude who runs hard, and always attacks. He sliced the Eagles up at critical times and they simply couldn't shut him down.

As for no sacks, I'm not making excuses, but I do think that sloppy field hurt the Eagles D-line. Again, Mahomes is a magician in the pocket, and both teams had to play on that slop, but the way the Eagles dig in an attack, well...they just weren't getting off the line, especially Reddick, he just wasn't his disruptive, destructive self. But you play with what's in front of you, and it was what it was. Again, all credit to the Chiefs.
Al, stop being such a softy. It's so obvious you're not from Philly. You'd surely shatter trying to deal.

We bust stones. We joke, kid, poke each other. It's kinda a right of passage....bonding even, at least for those of us (MOST) who handle it without blinking and throw it right back. Like sparring.

But that's okay, you're a good fan and we're glad to have you on our side (just toughen up, buttercup!). But you probably shouldn't ever consider moving here and going out in public. $\:D$ Just relax when I poke at you in a sports thread; no harm, no foul. If you're gonna be a Philly fan, and act like you're from here, fer chrissakes, at least try to act the part! $\:p$

Oh well, it wound up being an exciting game. But my daughter, who's been a sports fan - we've gone to lots of games together, especially Phillies and 76ers (she hasn't gone to an Eagles game) - had really become a big Eagles fan this year. She was supposed to go a Superbowl party but wasn't feeling up to it, so I stayed home with her. In the 4th quarter, with the Eagles up 6, she decided to go. You could feel the momentum shifting, and she could tell how I felt. By the time she got to her friends' house, the Chiefs had scored a TD and taken the lead. Of course, we know the outcome. She was looking so forward to a celebration. First the Phillies lost the World Series, now the Eagles lost the SB. Now she knows the heart break of being a Philly sports fan.

....she had to learn sometime!

No, takeaways happen. You have to be able to rise above. It was only one and the Eagles were ahead and moving along. Adam nailed it: the defense failed them. Specifically, the coaching failed. The special teams play killed, but they shouldn't have been in that position.

The Eagles defense never adjusted. They kept playing zone even though they were getting gashed. The Chiefs exploited it, drew up some great plays, getting their receivers WIDE open for killer, back-breaking plays.

The Chiefs won and they deserved it.

Hines was the 3rd RB and punt returner. But I guess this put him in Singletary's spot. He scored 2 of the touchdowns in the game on kickoff returns.

He would probably be good in the role, or where any 2 or 3 headed monster RB attack is used. Hard to fathom he fell so far, so fast, but that's the nature of the RB position, and why you don't commit so much $$$ for so long.

It's why the Eagles let go of Miles Sanders. Hate to see him go, but we all get it.

It's a lot of picks for sure, but they're almost all late rounders, like 5th-6th round. They'll have to get lucky on a couple/few of them, and even then, it likely won't help for some time.

It is truly an incredible amount of talent to lose in one off season - practically half of their starters on defense. We knew they'd lose a lot, but I don't know if we thought they'd lose that much. Different indeed....very different.

16.5 last year, 13.4 for his college career. He's got great hands and tracks the ball really well, like a receiver, better than a bunch of them.

But don't get your hopes up too high. I'd love to have him too, but again, the Eagles usually don't do that. Let's hope Howie shocks us.

What affected the Eagles was the horrible field conditions.

Gannon is gone and I couldn't care less. The Eagles great defense was due to the tremendous personnel, thanks to GM Howie Roseman. The stats were good but the play style left a lot to be desired, IMHO....the D could have been a lot more dominant, IMNSHO, and the bend but don't break style sucks...it always does.

and on the very first play of his NFL career, Jalen Carter pulls a move unlike any I've ever seen from a defensive tackle and takes down the QB.

Meanwhile rookie safety Sydney Brown is all over the field looking like Dawk, makes 9 tackles.

Well.....that will work half of the time......historically.....my betting history is 50/50! If you look up 'Even Steven' in the dictionary.....you will see my picture! I went to Vegas once with $100.....I played poker for 14 hours straight.....I was up...I was down....I was up I was down.....I came home with the same $100 I had when I arrived.

One football season I put a $250 deposit with a bookie who was a friend of a friend and I bet 3 to 5 games a week for the entire regular season (65 to 75 games total)....I was up...I was down....I was up I was down.....I ended the season cashing out $255......

I'll say this.....the last game he played prior to this one (the Superbowl) would not have been won without him.........

It is my understanding that Andy kept more receivers on the roster this year than ever before because he believes they are good enough.....It is hard for me to doubt a 2 time Superbowl winning coach and his staff.....I believe we will be okay in the end.....

All of that being said....all of our receivers had a bad night....on the night......which is crazy rare imo......and on the same night that our top receiver (Kelce) was out (he has not missed a game due to injury since his rookie season in 2013)....imo....that was our fluke loss....(like Indy last year).....and moving forward......I expect us to be much better!!!!!

Toney and Moore will both end up having great seasons (imo).....but regarding fantasy....I would not count on any Chief receiver or running back.....Mahomes and Kelce are the only 2 offensive players that will have any consistency......because Mahomes is going to be like Brady in the past and from game to game.....the receivers or running backs are going to have huge games and shitty games.....depending on t he day.

Just my thoughts.....

That pick 6 was not only all him (and cost the Chiefs the game), but he looked lazy and indifferent, not only to catching the ball, but once it bounced off of his hands. If I were the HC, that would never fly with me. He'd have to change that right away and completely. Injury or no injury, he was healthy and on the field, the effort should have been there. Besides, it's not like he just started playing football (and the pass wasn't exactly lasered to him). Just my 2 cents, of course.

My god that was a tough game but the Birds won. The Pats played great. Turns out they had a great draft and got huge contributions from a bunch of rookies, I thought they would finish last but they may win the AFC East.

Any win in the NFL is a fucking miracle, and that's why it's the NFL. Did you see all the upsets today. Cleveland crushed Cincy. Rams wiped out the Seahawks. Shitty Tampa Bay won, a shocker. Even the lowly Cardinals were ahead til the end.

"Your Overlords Crushes The Quarter Pounders in Week 1

In a shocking turn of events, Your Overlords dominated The Quarter Pounders in Week 1 of the Indieland. With a score of 164.50, Your Overlords proved that they are a force to be reckoned with. The Quarter Pounders, on the other hand, could only muster a measly 146.96. Looks like The Quarter Pounders's C-grade wasn't enough to secure the win.

The Quarter Pounders's best player, Michael Pittman Jr., managed to exceed expectations and scored 15.35 points, beating their projection of 6.54. However, their worst player, Josh Allen, fell way short of their 20.00 projection, only scoring 6.90 points. On Your Overlords, Nick Folk shined bright with 18.00 points, surpassing their projection of 7.69. Unfortunately, Antonio Gibson couldn't live up to their 9.27 projection and only scored a dismal 0.25 points.

With this win, Your Overlords starts the season strong with a record of 1-0-0 and sits comfortably at the top of the standings. The Quarter Pounders, on the other hand, falls to 0-1-0 and is currently sitting at the 7th spot. Looks like Your Overlords is the team to beat this season, while The Quarter Pounders has some work to do to climb up the ranks.

Looking ahead to next week, The Quarter Pounders will face off against Bring Back Hard Hits. The Quarter Pounders needs to step up their game if they want to stand a chance against their upcoming opponent. As for Your Overlords, they will be going head-to-head with The Pickled Egg Gang. With their strong performance this week, Your Overlords should feel confident going into the matchup. Keep up the good work, Your Overlords!"

I mostly agree, Al.

The Eagles seem to be showing some signs from all of the turnover of personnel (players/coaches) and aren't in a groove yet. That said, the sign of a good team is winning when they're not at their best, which they are doing. They've been killing it in the turnover department, and their running was stunning this week - Swift looks PERFECT running behind this line...great vision, patience to follow the excellent blocking, and damn...he's explosive when he gets a hole....like a dart.

Devonte Smith is looking like he's gonna be difficult to keep up with, and AJ Brown will get his chances and have his games - he's a flat out all pro level WR (as is Smith now, IMHO).

The youngsters on defense look like they're gonna be everything we thought they could be and more. The defense isn't in a groove yet either, but I think that's coming too. And again, damn....it looks like those youngsters could be downright great.

And Al, don't you just love how they can't be stopped in short yardage situations with their "push"? There's never been anything like it, thanks to Hurts, the line, the coaching, and Sirianni's downright ballsiness. Pure Philly.

Through week 3, Jalen Carter is not only the highest-rated interior lineman in the NFL by PFF with a 93.2 grade, he’s the 5th-highest player at any position:

Tyreek Hill [94.0]
De’Von Achane [94.4]
Nick Bosa [93.9]
Myles Garrett [93.8]
Jalen Carter [93.2]

He's an absolute beast. Young players often don't have a nose for going after the ball, but those Georgia players are taught to. But he's on another level. Take aways are a huge factor in why the Eagles are 3-0. That and D'Andre Swift is running wild behind our great offensive line.

Re: It's Game Day

now, with Swift reportedly planning to attend Sunday night’s game at MetLife Stadium between the Chiefs and the Jets, the NFL wants her to know that, whenever she needs tickets, they’ve got her covered.

Ian Trombetta, NFL senior vice president of social and influencer marketing, told Kayla Jiminez of USA Today that Swift has a perpetual red carpet at any NFL venue.

“She’s invited to any game that she wants to come to,” Trombetta said. “It’s an open invitation.”

He is, at least with the combination of him with our O-line.

Like I said above, they seem perfect for each other. They're blowing open some big holes and he scoots right through them without hesitation or trying to be too fancy, but other times, he just has good vision and patience, waits a split second for the play/his blocks to develop, and takes what he can get.

He's like a high revving, very quick, 4 cylinder engine in a lightweight 2 seater car. He might not be powerful, elusive, or extremely fast at the high end, but he generates quickness with fast, short strides. He hits the hole as soon as it opens, and doesn't try to do too much. He gets what he can get and moves on to the next play. That should play well with Hurts and his low error style of play (last week, only 1 int was on him, but he gets a pass on that, he's earned it and Smith has shown he can go get the ball...he's still the same QB from last year).

Fk 'em. If they don't like it, they'll have to figure out a way to stop it, which they won't - it can't be done.
I just saw a stat that stated it is the most successful play in NFL history at a more than 90% success rate (don't know if that stat is accurate, but...).

But I hate that name. I'm going with Brotherly Shove, as it fits WAY better with this city.

Re: It's Game Day

I've never seen that intentional grounding call and didn't even know about it. You can throw a ball out of bounds and through the back of the end zone, but you can't lead your receiver too far downfield? It was obviously a broken play and not intentional anything....kinda like the pass down the sideline to Brown. The refs were trying to give Washington that game. I was surprised that the of bounds call on their sideline pass stood.

Re: It's Game Day

Thanks. Same to you, IM.

Simply, although they're 8-1, the Eagles are not as good this year as last. They lost a lot of talent, especially on defense, and lost both offensive and defensive coordinators.

Hurts has actually gotten better as a passer, IMO, but he has not played mistake free like he did last year (pretty hard to do). He's also dealing with a bone bruise injury that has taken away from his ability to run. It's not only affected him, it's affected the entire run game.

The good news is they have made plays and pulled games out for victories. But they're hardly looking like world beaters. I don't think they're winning in KC this week.

11/13/23 09:29 PM

Re: It's Game Day

What has been buoying the Eagles is Hurts to AJ Brown, who has been an absolute freak (there's not a receiver in the NFL I would take over him this season).

Hurts hasn't been making tons of mistakes; it's just that last year, he played as mistake-free as I've ever seen. He continues to grow as a QB.

It's our pass defense; we can't stop anybody (Eagles have given up the most passing TDs in the NFL). Slay and Bradberry look like they've each lost a step, and the rest of the secondary has been banged up. Linebacker has been an issue too. Our run defense has been good.

In any case, the above doesn't bode well against a QB like Mahomes, even with your butter-fingered WRs.

Oh yeah, the Eagles will be without TE Dallas Goedert, and that's no small thing.

But yeah, it should still be a good, exciting game, just one I wouldn't bet on. $\:D$

Besides being super cheap, another reason he won't bet KC vs Philly for some goodies, is that he's not near Philly and can't get any Philly goodies even if he wanted to, which he doesn't.

Are you saying that a Vikings receiver dropped a 50+ yard perfect strike touchdown pass on third down and then on 4th and 25 another receiver dropped a 27 yard perfect strike first down pass to lose the game? I am asking this seriously because I did not see the Vikings game and I have heard other folks talking about it all being rigged.

I could definitely see the refs controlling the game to give a certain an advantage but it seems unrealistic to me that they could 'script' the game. That would require the players and coaches to be in on it and it seems unrealistic that players and coaches from the past would keep quite about it.....

But I am genuinely interested in the idea so as someone who seems to have accepted it, if you wouldn't mind elaborating on the topic, that would be awesome!

just seen way to many games this year where the better team lost after winning the entire game.

But, nah they cant be exact. but the situation where one team goes ahead, and there is plenty of time for the better team to kick fg or a td, but the opposing teams defense all of a sudden learned to play defense and totally stopped them.

pretty sure seahawks, chiefs, steelers and vikes all lost this way over the weekend with slight variations.

broncos defense basically beat the shit out of Dobbs, but refs looked the other way...but the day after, fine city.

That was almost the play of the century. What a heads-up play. I have a feeling that's not the last time Jalen is gonna try that.

The Eagles just don't give up. They're determined to win every week. No matter what happens all game long, they fight and fight. That's why they're winning, despite not being their best all year long. There's a lot to be said about that attribute. They believe they can win. They expect to win... and they do.

Re: It's Game Day

I had a calm feeling throughout the game, even as good as Josh Allen was, and he was really good. The last and only time I ever saw a team like this in all my sports fanaticism was the 79 Orioles who came back to win pretty much every game, to the point they were up 3-1 in the Series then lost their magic.

If the Eagles, as I expect, beat the Niners, then the Cowboys in Dallas, clean-sweeping the most incredible gauntlet in NFL history, they are a historic team, they don't even need to win the Super Bowl.

(Planeteer)

11/27/23 02:36 AM

Re: It's Game Day

It's interesting. At no time for it feel like they were out of it, weren't going to come back, and win. After the Bills FG in OT, you just knew the Eagles were going to march down the field and score a TD for the win.

On one hand, you wish they were blowing teams out. In the other, you can't help but love the sense that they will find a way to win no matter what.... and it's damn fun, exciting football.

Granted, with our receivers playing so poorly this year and Patrick throwing more int's than is typical of him, my confidence has been shaken as of late. But we looked much more like ourselves on Sunday so I am hoping that we have steadied the ship and that moving forward.....we too will get back to finding a way to win the close games against the likes of teams like the Eagles. If we play the rest of the season like we did on Sunday.....I would bet that we see a repeat of last years Kelce Bowl......

And that has certainly been the truth having Mahomes as your QB. I've said it many times, and I'll say it again: Mahomes is the greatest QB to ever play the game. He might not go down as the GOAT, which will mostly depend on how many more he wins, but I think he will, at least if he plays long enough.

Hurts has been great the past two years (Al was right, I was wrong...and glad I was), but he's not Mahomes. No one is or ever was.

No they're not. Just like the beagles... they're a bunch of goddamned bums. By the way... Jalen Hurts.... where do they find these losers? This guy is a has been. He's washed up. Sure he's fallen down the stairs and landed on his feet a couple of times this season.... that was sheer luck. Happenfuckingstance. This guy can't play his way out of a wet paper bag. Mark my words.... it's nothing but floundering with a capital F from here on out. One more match up with America's team combined with their other certain-to-be losses and the Boys will take their rightful place as NFC East champs.... and then it's on to the superbowl.

I read earlier on the internet that Hurts was caught blowin' the entire officiating crew before last nights game. THAT's how they pulled that shit out... because he gave fucking toe-curlers to the referee, the field umpire, and all the judges. It's true... the beagles are 10-1 for no other reason than the fact that Jalen Hurts can suck a bowling ball through a garden hose.

But yeah, a very small number of Philly fans are gigantic assholes, and make everybody look bad. One look at that dude (Eagles fan) and you can just tell he's a loud-mouthed, puffy chested asshole. He'd be easy pickens for me - he can't fight/punch for sh!t - and I'd end him with one punch/elbow (one shot kills the deer $;\)$ ). And no way I'd stand there and watch him do that to a rival fan without at least stopping him/it (well, unless the fan really deserved it, but that's not usually the case with rival fans)....ESPECIALLY after he shoved that woman in the face. Not a fking chance he'd walk away from that, that's an ABSOLUTE NO. He should have been arrested. Security failed and should be fired.

Quote:

The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress

It takes a lot to disrespect two groups of people at once. But on Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas, a Kansas City Chiefs fan found a way to hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time.

It was as if Jon Gruden’s emails had come to life. The image of a Chiefs fan in Black face wearing a Native headdress during a road game leads to so many unanswered questions.

Why did the camera person give this fan the attention?

Why did the producer allow that camera angle to be aired at all?

Is that fan a kid/teenager or a young adult?

Despite their age, who taught that person that what they were wearing was appropriate?

The answers to all of those questions lead back to the NFL. While it isn’t the league’s responsibility to stop racism and hate from being taught in the home, they are a league that has relentlessly participated in prejudice. If the NFL had outlawed the chop at Chiefs games and been more aggressive in changing the team’s name, then we wouldn’t be here.

There’s no place for a franchise to be called the “Chiefs” in a league that’s already eradicated “Redskins.”

“There’s no pretty way to mascot people,” Amanda Blackhorse, a Native American activist and an organizer of a pre-game protest rally, told USA TODAY Sports, earlier this year.

This is what happens when you ban books, stand against Critical Race Theory, and try to erase centuries of hate. You give future generations the ammunition they need to evolve and recreate racism better than before.

“We are committed to Inspire Change and the social justice work that inspires change for the long-term,” Anna Isaacson, NFL senior vice president of social responsibility, told The Associated Press back in 2021. This was the time when the league was beginning to allow players to wear decals on their helmets that read Stop Hate, Black Lives Matter, Inspire Change, and Say Their Stories, as part of the NFL’s “social justice initiatives.”

Notice how it’s usually referred to as social justice and not racial justice, as a way to soften the hate. It’s an orchestrated way to distract you from the core issue.

However, the ultimate insult from the league can be seen during each game as “End Racism” and “It Takes All Of Us” are sketched in the end zones. Do you know how big your balls have to be to say that racism should be ended when you have a racist past like the NFL? It’s as if Jim Trotter and Brian Flores aren’t actively suing them for alleged racism right now, as the Attorneys General in New York and California are also investigating them for similar allegations.

The idea that it takes all of humanity to end racism is not only asinine, but insulting and infuriating. By doing that, you’re taking away the responsibility and necessity of accountability from the ones who created it and actively participated in it.

It’s also cruel to expect the oppressed to assist their oppressors in the termination of their own oppression.

And if you’re wondering if the NFL is delusional enough to believe that their end zone slogans are making a difference, you’re correct. The league is beyond sensitive when it comes to their “message.” In the preseason, there was a rumor floating around that “Play Football” would be the new motto etched on the field. When Deadspin contacted the league about it, we received a prompt response (12 minutes) saying otherwise.

“There’s been no change from previous years. Beginning with the regular season, clubs will have in end zones stencils featuring “It Takes All of Us” and “End Racism,” wrote Brian McCarthy, the league’s vice president of Communications, to Deadspin in an email exchange. “Play Football’ was featured for preseason as part of a league initiative.”

As of now, the league hasn’t released a statement on what took place in the stands in Las Vegas on Sunday. That photo of that fan floating around on the Internet is beyond a bad look for a league, while simultaneously being what should be expected from the NFL.

“The NFL stands with the Black community, the players, clubs and fans,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell once said. “Confronting systemic racism with tangible and productive steps is absolutely essential. We will not relent in our work and we will redouble our efforts to be catalysts for the urgent and sustainable change that our society and communities so desperately need.”

Three years after Goodell made that comment, the league is worse off than it was when the commissioner was scrambling during America’s “racial awakening” in 2020. He apologized to Colin Kaepernick, “allowed” players to kneel in peaceful protests and promised that things would change. Nothing has. And after what we saw on Sunday, it feels like nothing ever will.

(Update)
Updated Nov. 30: Per Front Office Sports, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, whom the fan and his family are affiliated with, have released a statement condemning the “wearing regalia as part of a costume or participating in any other type of cultural appropriation.” Here’s the full statement:

“We are aware that a young member of our community attended a Kansas City Chiefs game in a headdress and face paint in his way of supporting his favorite team. Please keep in mind that the decisions made by individuals or families in our community are their own and may not reflect the views of the broader tribal community. As a federally recognized tribe, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians does not endorse wearing regalia as part of a costume or participating in any other type of cultural appropriation.”

I predict a phat payday in the boys future.....to bad he is having to go through the bullshit to get it though.....

Re: It's Game Day

First things first...the Chiefs were out played and the Packers beat them outright in every phase of that game. Full stop!

That being said....the officiating this season is horrific! On the last drive alone they called a personal foul on Green Bay for hitting Mahomes at the sideline that was clearly a clean hit. Then they didn't call one of the most obvious pass interferences I have ever seen on Scandling a and then didn't call the clear pass interference on Kelce on the hail Mary. That was all in the last 1:09 of the game! Timster just might be on to something.....

I also noticed a lot of really bad calls and no calls in the Eagles game as well....on both sides of the ball. It just seems like the refereeing is getting worse and worse every year....Compared to my favorite sport hockey, where the refs are very good at staying out of the way.....football is getting tough to watch.

I think the lesson is here is balls to the firewall aggression none of this protecting a small lead...keep the pedal to the metal or you're asking for the refs to decide who wins...30 point lead, couple missed calls no big deal eh...

I wonder what is at the root of this problem. It certainly does seem like you're right. For years--decades, it seemed to me that aside from the occasional bad call, the officiating crews were very precise. It was tight. Quick. They seemed confident. Now, it often seems like they're getting together to say "Duhhhh... what should we do?"

I wondered if the no-call on the obvious PI on Valdez-Scandling was a 'make-up call' for the personal foul on Mahomes. I know that's not *supposed* to exist, but I'm not so sure... it's not an official thing, obviously, it's not a choice, but maybe a sort of subconscious bias acting in real-time.

Agreed.

Dude could not have been more offsides unless he was already standing in the endzone......

In the local post game presser, Patrick was saying that when WR line up they look over to the ref and the ref warns them if they are to far forward.....(you see it all the time when they look over, raise their hand and often take a half step back or forward depending on what the ref says).....but apparently Toni was not awarded this gesture by the ref so they were pissed.

But once again, regardless of how poorly the refs call a game......it is the teams responsibility to play above that and not allow the refs to dictate. Furthermore, I thought it was a really bad look for Mahomes who in the past has always been a very 'sportsman like' individual. That being said, I aint mad at him.....in fact...in a certain way....it is actually nice to see that he is human and prone to frustration like the rest of us! It was also nice to see some fire out of him.....I am hoping he and the Chiefs can bottle up that frustration they are having with themselves and the refs and put is to good use......if they don't, our season may as well be done because even if we squeak into the playoffs.....if we are not playing better than we are now......we will be one and done.

As for that game last night....it is good to see that the Eagles are also human.....I fully expected them to bounce back from the 49ers whooping but Dallas played great! This seasons playoffs are going to be good imo! A lot of really close teams in regards to how they are playing.....should be fun!

Agree. He gets a pass from me entirely.... because he has demonstrated repeatedly how steady he can be in tough situations. It's one of the many things that makes him *great* - not just really good.

We'll be in the playoffs, but it's not looking good. It's one thing to loose at home to a team that's been mouthing off, and that's bad enough. It's another altogether when they beat you at your own game and manhandle you in front of your own crowd, and then have your mortal enemy take you apart with ease.

The Eagles have a good record in spite of themselves, as they've not played great all season, because of resiliency. But that's not gonna be enough against the better/best teams...and the Niners and Cowboys are good teams, and a problem for the Eagles in particular.

Simply, the Eagles lost too much talent and brainpower from last year, not to mention a couple of important players on D look to have suddenly lost a step, and they are not even close to being the same team as last year. Last year, we were blowing people out in the first half, then cruising on offense and teeing off on defense in the second half. This year, we're always playing from behind and having to pull rabbits out of the hat. That can only last for so long, and we're at that point. It's been a pretty tremendous smoke and mirrors job though, I have to give them that.

Interesting thing... *if* the Cowboys and Eagles both win out the rest of their games (not likely given that the Cowboys have a tough schedule from here on out other than the Redskins) the NFC east will go to the Eagles. They would be tied for all of the division tie-breaker stats except for total season NFC winning percentage - the Eagles best them there with 6-2 against the Cowboy's poorer 7-3 percentage - should it come to that.

Every time they showed his old man, I said "Look! It's Johnny Knuckles and his consiglieri Gold Gary". I also wasn't aware until last night his mom is Jennifer Coolidge.

It seemed clear by the first half neither team would dominate. It ended about like I figured. The Packers won't be able to beat any home playoff teams this year, and that's okay. This game reminded me of a bunch that we WON (but did not dominate) in those couple 13-3 seasons where we ended up in the playoffs at a high seed and couldn't get it done. Winning a lot, but seldom showing real dominance--only 'doing whatever it takes to win'. That sort of team can produce a decent win/loss record but seldom win championships. Generally--either a dominating offense OR defense (less common, but it happens) is required.

I'll tell you what though: after watching the Queens backup QBs lately, it just shows that, on average, there are less than a handful of people that come out of college every year that can adequately quarterback in the NFL (maybe 2 or 3). Those guys were stars in college and can't get out of their own way in the pros, and it's like that with every team's backup QBs, and even a bunch of starters in the league.

Re: It's Game Day

I wouldn't really call their performance dismal. They looked pretty much like they did in their wins. Dominated time of possession, rushing yards, first downs, 3rd down %. Just needed a TD at the end for a cushion and they would've had that without that terrible penalty call on Kelce or the missed PI on that first interception (the long pass to Watkins). That would've put them on the 1 yard line.

(Planeteer)

12/19/23 08:47 PM

Re: It's Game Day

The defense has been bad, really bad, and unable to stop the pass.

The offense has been stagnant. Hurts' bone bruise injury has hampered his running, which in turn has hampered the running game overall.

Hurts looks better as a passer, but he has made a lot of mistakes, unlike last year, where he was as mistake free as a QB could get. He trusts his excellent receivers, and that's been both good and bad. Good for his future growth as a QB, IMO, but it's lead to a lot more interceptions, and obviously that's bad.

Overall, the Eagles just don't have it this year. They've been able to pull a lot of games out this year, and obviously that's good. However, only good if they began to play up to their potential based on last year, and they were never able to. Once it got past mid season, it's become apparent that this is who and what they are, and it's come back to bite them. Too much loss of talent, and too much turnover of coaching by losing both coordinators.

In any case, San Francisco appears to be the cream of the NFC, at least at this juncture.

The 49ers went down like a $5 hooker. Them and Dallas are trying to hand us home field, and we better take it... I don't think we will beat the 49ers at home for the NFC, if we get that far, that is.

In any case, the Ravens look like the team to have to beat. I'm thinking the Ravens and 49ers in the StuporBowl.

The odds of that were very low, but you're certainly not wrong, per se'. Losing the way that they did to a bad team is a bad taste to have in their mouths heading into the postseason. They're not gonna beat anybody if they don't clean things up fast.

On a positive note, Mariota looked fine and like a good fit as the backup, and Quez had a really good game.

Re: It's Game Day

That will happen sometime long after I purchase and listen to the whole Rush catalogue.

This season has been crushing. 35 days ago this year's Birds were literally the best team I've ever followed, the team that knew how to win better than any other. Their downfall to this extent seems impossible, is unexplainable. It's the 2nd worst sports situation in my lifetime after the 69 Amazing Mets beat my Orioles, another great team.

(Planeteer)

01/08/24 06:52 AM

Re: It's Game Day

They were never the best team, and that was obvious. They were resilient, and that seemed to bode well for when they "started playing" their best. They never did. Instead, their poor play caught up to them, and instead, they've completely fallen apart.

They're an 11-6 team that only has a positive point differential of what, 5? That says they've squeaked out their wins and have gotten blown out in their losses. They've gotten caught in the current of losing, and they can't get out.

It's been a terrible collapse, but not terribly surprising. They still have the foundation for a good team, but it would be a small miracle if they suddenly pulled it together now. They need a coordinator overhaul, and they need a fresh start after an off season of reflection.

Hurts must get back to playing error free football, a large part of their success last season...and the defense needs to find their swag. In their modern history, whenever the Eagles were successful, it was built in the back of defensive swag. Simply, they lost too much talent last year to overcome it.

Alright Cowgirl Al, dust off your Rush collection...

I live outside the Eagles viewing area but they are such a formidable often featured team that this year I didn't need to purchase NFL Sunday Ticket which I had done the previous 4 years. 16 of 17 games were televised. The other I had my daughter look up on some pirate website.

Be careful at those pirate sites; they're often infected with nasty stuff. Make sure to at least have up-to-date anti-virus and anti-malware software running. I would also consider running my browser in a sandbox for an added layer of protection, just in case. However, that's not my forte at all, so maybe someone else knows better.

Re: It's Game Day

I don't want that at all! Belichick has proven nothing without Brady, other than it was all Brady.

Siriani is a young coach and has shown he can learn, grow, and improve. Yes, he's made mistakes this year and has taken a definite step backwards, but I'd need at least one more season to see how he responds.

I think Siriani is the type of coach you keep around a long time, through the ups and downs. He is a culture builder, is adaptable, and is the future of coaching. It would be a gigantic mistake to oust Siriani and bring in Belichick, who wouldn't make it two seasons here.

Belichick is done; his time has passed. I'd say he should go have a career in management, but I don't think he did a good job overall as the de facto GM. Again, it was all Brady, making not-so-great players look great.

Keep Siriani.

That was largely a personnel issue, then, DC issue. The coordinator issue is something that will be a lesson to Siriani. Both of the coordinators have to go...and take that stiff Matt Patricia with you (and lock the door so that Belichick can't get in).

I'm not expecting a Superbowl run, lol. Today is my Superbowl. I could actually see Green Bay managing a win down there, if the momentum continues. I didn't expect a playoff appearance at all, and I've enjoyed this season more than the last few--even though -2 and -3 years back we got top seeds--somehow I knew we couldn't make it all the way. This season has been exciting, if it ends today, no problemo, it was a good ride!

A worse collapse: the 1964 Phillies. They had 6 ½-game lead with 12 games to go, lost 10 in a row, and missed the postseason. And it all started with Frank Robinson at the plate with two outs and two strikes and Chico Ruiz stealing home.

As for the Eagles collapse, it's explainable: they lost too much talent and both coordinators.

On defense, they lost six of their eleven starters. Two of the players who did return, cornerbacks Slay and Bradbury, seemed to have both lost a step and were bad. Their secondary was banged up too. DC Sean Desai was terrible, and Matt Patricia was even worse.

On offense, Hurts' bone bruise made him much less of a threat to run, which completely affected their run game, which went from great to mediocre at best. The offensive line was not up to it's best in the NFL status either. Jalen Hurts did not play error-free football like he did the previous season, which was a large part of his success.

Their luck ran out. They got away with it all for 11 games, pulling rabbits out of hats to win games, but they clearly were not the same as the previous year. At first, we all thought their resilience was a good sign; we were wrong.

(Planeteer)

01/16/24 05:34 PM

Re: It's Game Day

You're confusing this year's team with last year's. They were never that this year; you're living in the past. This year, after those couple of great running games, they were just doing enough to get by bunch. They had many, in game, mini collapses, eking out games at the end. We all looked at that as resilience and said it would serve them well once they started "playing like themselves." It turns out that was "themselves." Last year's team left, literally and figuratively.

If Jalen didn't get injured, it might have changed things a bit, not only on offense, but the way they might have played defensively, playing with leads and playing downhill. But I don't think so; the defense was what it was. They might have been able to avoid the total collapse, but that would have just masked some of the weaknesses that inevitably come out in the playoffs.

It's difficult to get back to the Super Bowl the following year, and we saw one of the reasons why: loss of manpower and brainpower due to success. Not to mention a key injury or two.

No matter what, the Eagles have a LOT of work to do, both on the field and in the front office.

Re: It's Game Day

Maybe you liked them better, but they were not better. Last year, they were blowing teams out by halftime and cruising for the second half of games while playing downhill defensively (and sacking QBs like crazy).

But I know where you're coming from, and if that's what you prefer, then that's what you prefer.

Next year, along with what they already have to fix personnel-wise, they have another issue to deal with: age. Kelce retired; Lane Johnson's one year older, as are Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox.

Re: It's Game Day

Glad to hear about Kelce.

That Siriani is on the hot seat is absolutely ridiculous.

BTW, there are rumors that Hurts was upset with Siriani. Something to do with Brian Johnson and Siriani taking over play-calling from him, because Johnson and Hurts are "boys." Supposedly, Siriani had to lay out a plan for Laurie and Roseman, basically to save his job. I have no idea about the validity, though.

You know who I think would be a great defensive coordinator? Seth Joyner. It will never happen, of course, but I'd love it.

McCarthy sucks, and he always has. Good! $\:D$

(Loquacious Planeteer)

01/18/24 05:54 AM

Re: It's Game Day

Joyner would be kinda great but he's a very toxic personality, couldn't possibly last long.

I really hope the Eagles draft Jeremiah Trotter's son, he would be great.

yeah Siriani's structure didn't allow Hurts and Johnson to do the kind of offense they wanted.

(Planeteer)

01/18/24 03:16 PM

Re: It's Game Day

I don't know that Joiner is toxic so much that he is very direct. But you're probably right on that he wouldn't last long. He'd also surely be very intimidating to a head coach. But man, the guy knows football, and he'd have a defense that was punishing af, and smarter than f!

The Eagles lost too much in talent and brainpower, and Siriani got too comfortable.

As for Mahomes, he is already a top 3 QB all time. He's got the greatest combination of skill, football IQ, and discipline of any QB ever, but his resume can't compete with Brady's...yet. It might never, that's a tall order, but it's possible. If he somehow wins another SB those year, he'll have taken a giant step.

Good luck with your bets, Al.

I've been saying the Ravens will go all the way, but I've changed my mind. I think the Chiefs are going to take them out this week. But it's mostly just a gut feeling due to Mahomes and Reid.

I'm pulling for the Liars, but it won't be easy for them to beat SF at home.

So, I'm completely flipping from SF vs. Ravens, with the Ravens winning the chip, and going Lions vs Chiefs, with the Chiefs winning it all. Again, just being wishful here, and I've probably got it all wrong.

I've followed the Chiefs all season and only missed watching one game.

It just might not be Taylor's day...in which case, it might not be Kelce's night (if you know what I mean).

The chiefs regular season record is the worst of the 4 teams playing today.

Mahomes and the boys are gonna have to play their best game of the year.
This will be a tougher win than if they do proceed to the SB.

All this being my opinion, of course.

And what's with Mahomes not wearing socks with his $1,000+ suits? Superstition?

Me too. I hope they slice and dice the Niners up. But it's more likely to be a tough, low(er) scoring game, with Mahomes and Reid pulling a few rabbits out of their hats, as usual. I love watching Mahomes play, and Mahomes to Kelce is money. I've also come to love Isiah Pacheco's style of play. He didn't have good stats last game, but his presence was undeniable....he runs hard and angry and wears a defense down.

Re: It's Game Day

So, another great season comes to an end. Perhaps the most disappointing I ever experienced. but you gotta love the game. As I always say, the NFL is, without any doubt, America's greatest institution. My hopes for next year are over the top already. AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts are already in training mode, and Jalen will. not. be. denied. I seriously no shit get goosebumps when they show the shield at the beginning of games. I salute it. It is the greatest sport that ever was and the greatest sport that ever will be. It's the Beatles of sport.

Re: It's Game Day

The Eagles can't keep bleeding talent. Losing Hassan Reddick will be another big blow to the defense. Hopefully, they work something out.

It's going to be another season of massive turnover for the coaching staff; even more so than last year. At least they're bringing in established offensive and defensive coordinators this time.

Hurts MUST be more disciplined, like he was two years ago. More than anything, that is what made him special that year. His bone bruise injury really hampered his ability to run last year. It's a misunderstood injury, as it's not simply s bruise, and it can be a lot worse than it sounds. The Eagles need to bring back both Brown and Smith; they're a great, almost perfect receiving tandem.

Speaking of running, who is going to be the main RB next season?

As I said, the Eagles are gonna have their hands full with personnel on the defensive side. They need LB and backfield help, and now it looks like they might need more edge rushing (is there ever enough, anyway?).

Frankly, I'm concerned. Their record should be decent seeing as how they play the Commanders and Giants twice, and the Cowpokes are good for a choke in one of their two games, but it might be a challenge to get to 10 wins. They have an interesting schedule next year: the AFC North is going to be no cakewalk, although the NFC South has two lousy teams (they were this year, anyway). Then, there's the Packers and Rams on the road too. They could start off 2-4 or worse, considering how the Commanders always seem to give them fits.

This past season must be a lesson to never take past success for granted. The talent pool must always stay as stocked as possible - you can't just let so much walk out the door thinking it's easily replaced - and you can't just think you can have green coordinators and not have hiccups, or worse.

Well, at least the 76ers made some savvy trade deadline moves. Now, if only Embiid, the best player on the planet, came come back and get into game shape for the playoffs. Otherwise, it's see you next year. The Phillies could use another starting pitcher and a bat off the bench, or rotational outfielder. How are your Orioles looking for next year?

(Loquacious Planeteer)

02/14/24 03:18 PM

Re: It's Game Day

The Orioles are entering an era where their dominance could seriously match the teams with the Robinsons and Boog Powell. They just stole a top-10 starting pitcher in a trade and are the first team ever to have the MLB top prospect 3 years running. One can only imagine how good the newest one Jackson Holliday will be, he's son of the Holliday slugger from the Rockies back in the day and is considered the best prospect since Mickey Mantle. heheh. but the last 2 are both great already.

As for the Birds, I don't think you should see them as the team that fell apart due to some remains to be seen chemistry issue.

Reddick wants 25 million a year, they have to let him go. Nolan Smith may well be as good in 2 years. I think they are one top-5 cornerback away from being just as good as the 10-1 team, just got to unload a bad egg or 2. They may bring back Swift at RB but there are several others nearly as good out there who will be cheap.

I suspect they will draft in 2nd round a great WR, so many coming in this draft. Dallas lost their DC won't be nearly as good. He was the heart of the team.

Green Bay and the Lions may be the best 2 teams in the NFC this year.

If they don't pay him, he'll look to leave. But it's on him and his agent to work out a trade, and if the Eagles don't get what they want, he'll have little choice but to play or hold out. No matter what, that's a bad situation. He's underpaid. The Eagles should work something out with him, meet him in the middle, and give him an extension and a bonus. They just can't keep bleeding talent; they lost way too much last year.

Re: It's Game Day

Roseman has been what every fan hopes their team's GM will be. You never know just how it's going to work out, but one thing is for sure: if you do nothing, you'll get nothing. Roseman took a step backwards last year, and the Eagles did too. He heard the noise and made the change.

Hopefully, Barkley won't be dinged up like usual, being behind a good line and on a good field. His skill set should be very good for the Eagles, and we're absolutely loaded with offensive skill players (there's no better 1-2 combo of receivers in the NFL, and we got better at #3 too - thanks Howie!).

White is a shrewd signing. Gardner-Johnson should never have been sent free and is back. Hopefully, what they see in Huff works out and he excels here; I think he will. In all, they didn't hamstring themselves with long contracts, etc., and the ceiling is very high on everyone they signed.

I don't know about you, AL, but I think the Eagles just put themselves right back in the mix to be one of the best teams in the NFL next season. I also think Hurts is going to have a major chip on his shoulder this year, and with all of the weapons, he's not going to have to feel the weight of doing so much, and is going to have an excellent season. Although he didn't have a great season last year, I think he grew as a QB, one who gained confidence to put the ball where only his receivers could catch it. It came with risks, and he got burned at times, but I think it was necessary for his continued growth. Now he needs to find the balance between that and his ability to play virtually mistake free, which is a tremendous strength of his. This offense is going to be difficult to contain.

Speaking of a chip on the shoulder, Sirianni might have the biggest one. Having experienced coordinators will help him tremendously. Frankly, I think the Eagles tried to be too PC last year, hiring coordinators with no coordinator experience, in large part to give a chance to minorities. Um....fk that. Hire the best available, period, because YOUR job depends on them.

Anyway, we'll be looking at the Peckers in our rearview mirror, if we can even see that far behind us.

Re: It's Game Day

Geez, AL, don't take it so personally. I dunno, I really don't want either. I'd rather have Gardner Minshew. Conversely, on a good team and in the right situation, both of them could be better than in their past situations. I guess Pickett is the safer bet and less costly. Regardless, he's the backup QB now.

In any case, it's a reminder of how difficult it is to have a decent backup QB in the NFL. QB is the most challenging and demanding position in all of team sports. QBs have to process information at a staggering pace, and be able to recognize and react, putting their physical skills into action with extreme precision, in a sport that is by far the most detailed and intricate, but also the most physical too (hockey fans might debate that). QBs have about 2 seconds to mentally process everything and successfully execute plays. They have to not only know where every player on the field is, both on their team and the opponents, but also predict where they are going to be, knowing inside and out the play design and players abilities and tendencies.

In today's NFL, whether you prefer it or not, it's all about the passing game. Coaching/play design is way beyond any other team sport. As physical as the NFL is, it's also by far the most cerebral of all team sports. Head coaches and coordinators are practically (sport) geniuses, and excellent QBs are savants. Many of today's QBs are also physical freaks. That's why, in a nation of more than 350,000,000 people, only about 10 (TEN!) will truly excel in any given season. Delay the ability to process and execute by a few milliseconds, and a QB becomes average to inadequate, maybe even having a very short career of only a few years after spending a lifetime honing their craft.

Considering their willingness to move him for so little, you just might be right. We'll know soon enough.

Still, I think the smart move would have been to keep him and let him play for his next payday. The Eagles are in a win now situation, and a 2026 pick isn't going to do anything for that. By then, it could be completely different, including with Hurts (we'll know that soon enough too).

Re: It's Game Day

they love AJ, he's staying. Some are saying the new OC loves to work with a 2 Tight End set, so they might look to trade up and draft Brent Bowers who may be the best TE prospect ever. More likely they're trying to trade up to take this physical freak CB from Toledo. and they also seem to think they can't have enough edge rushers.

I'm not surprised based purely on physical attributes, but I think that Terrion Arnold would be a better pick.

Too often, teams, in every sport, select players purely off of physical attributes, when history has shown, while that certainly matters, it's what's between the ears that is the difference between good, very good, and great.

There were plenty of NBA players who were as physically gifted as Michael Jordan (and other greats), many QBs with greater skill set(s) than Tom Brady (and Brees and Manning), etc. It's their sports IQ, drive, desire, and maybe most of all, being determined to impose your will on the opponents that matters most.

In today's NBA, at time time when players possess more athleticism and greater skill sets than ever before (by far), two of the absolute best players, Nicola Jokic and Luka Doncic, can barely jump out of their own way. Yet, they are arguably two of the best players in the league, if not the two best. There are QBs with skillsets as good or better than Patrick Mahomes, but not one is even in his stratosphere, and, to me, he's the greatest (GOAT) QB ever, even better than Brady, who was as mobile as a rock...and it didn't matter. Brady imposed his will like no other QB ever, aside from possibly Montana, who as mobile as an anchor (yes, I know, the game has changed).

We see it every year, in every sport. Players drafted purely on physical traits. Sure, they can jump out of the gym, but do they know the game? Are they driven to be the best? Can they out think their opponents, or are they at least of that mindset? Will they figure out a way to get the job done, no matter what, and no matter who is in front of them? Can they, and will they, impose their will?

Re: It's Game Day

Someone who may know mentioned Arnold today.

In regards to your point, good coaching can pull the star stuff out of raw talent, all depends on that.

(Planeteer)

04/25/24 04:46 PM

Re: It's Game Day

Good coaching matters for sure, and can make or break a player early on, but a person/player has to have it in them to want to be great, and do everything they can to be maximize their abilities.

I think Arnold would really fit this team and the city. You never know, of course, but I think he possesses the intangibles.

Re: It's Game Day

Re: It's Game Day

I forget to be honest. Would have to trace it back which wouldn't be easy.

I'm really happy how it turned out, that they had a choice of either of the best guys because you know Howie did massive homework in who to pick. and when they both came out on stage, Mitchell seemed serious like Dawkins, the other guy was a goof like C.J. Gardner-Johnson - one of them per defense is enough I think. heh

Also as one of the NFL network commentators said, speed is needed to cover CD Lamb and Mitchell is the fastest. Other than that guy the Chiefs picked up who will probably be the new Tyreek.

Re: It's Game Day

Source: The #Eagles are interested in trading up in the Second Round to select Illinois Star DL Johnny Newton and Texas A&M LB Edgerrin Cooper.

Also they signed AJ Brown to a 3 year 96 million dollar extension making him the highest paid WR in NFL history.

(Planeteer)

04/26/24 11:41 AM

Re: It's Game Day

It turned out well. As the draft went on, it appeared the might not have to move up to get their guy, and they didn't. Either of the CBs at 22 was a real get, as they were both rated close to the top 10. Mitchell does have significantly better speed than Arnold, as well as a better vertical, but again, that's not what makes a player great. But again, they couldn't lose with either of them at 22, so I'm happy too.

I'd like to see them get a safety now, and an OT to bring along to replace Lane Johnson when he decides to call it quits. Maybe a slot WR a little later in the draft.
Anyway, AL, good call on Mitchell.

Re: It's Game Day

CB Cooper DeJean is now an Eagle. Things have really fallen into place for the Eagles so far, getting 2 og the 3 top CBs, and they now have a entirely new DB room. Or maybe he'll play saftey...or maybe Slay will. Either way, we won't have to watch Bradberry look like he's running in molasses and getting burned, at least not much.

Bradberry was good, but last year, it looked the the bottom dropped out, and suddenly, he was old. Obviously the Eagles have major concerns about him and Slay, or they wouldn't have picked cornerbacks with their first two picks.

Howie has come to believe, and it seems rightfully so, that you can't have enough of them. They seem to get injured every year at a rapid clip.

That passrusher they picked up in the 3rd was supposedly Vic Fangio's favorite player in the draft.

I watched his highlights. I can see why a coach would like him. He's an "edge", but not purely, he moved around, and not only side to side. Although he's an edge, he seemed to be the defensive play caller - he was always vocal, talking to players, seemingly about what was coming, etc. IOW, the defensive quarterback. He seemed pretty heady too, with a nose for the ball.

What he didn't seem like was explosive in any way, not a massive "play-maker." He's not a big body, looks more like a pure LB, but that can change. Solid and heady is how I would describe him, at least from what I watched.
