Re: NFL Thread

Again, my post was a comparison of the two defences. Chiefs run defence did better, they got a fumble recovery TD, 5 tackles for loss (including 2 on Hurts which count as sacks) vs only 1 for the Eagles, and 2 drives held to FG (Eagles really only held Chiefs to 1 FG attempt, since the second was th...

Re: NFL Thread

Nick Bolton affected the fumble by being right there as Hurts went to run up the middle. Hurts then tried to run to the outside and in doing so fumbled the ball. Bolton didn’t directly force the fumble, that **** is on Jalen, but he certainly impacted that play. No one’s arguing that the Chiefs defe...

Re: NFL Thread

Eagles defence - 0 sacks, 158 rush yards allowed on 26 rushes @ 6.1 yards per attempt (excluding Mahomes 114 rush yards on 20 attempts at 5.7 yards per carry). Compare that to the Chiefs defence - 2 sacks, fumble recovery TD, 115 rushing yards allowed on 32 attempts, at 3.6 yards per carry (excludi...

Re: NFL Thread

Great game. Eagles D just couldn’t stop the Mahomes/Reid juggernaut. All of the pundits were harping on about the time of possession at half time, but part of it was the Chiefs scored their first TD quickly (only a 3 min drive), and then Hurts’ fumble (returned for a TD) gave the Eagles an additiona...

Re: NFL Thread

LFG! Sufficiently sauced, though not on the same level as Championship weekend - I’ll get there. Nothing better than Super Bowl Sunday. Hoping for a competitive game, devoid of injuries and referee mistakes - they’re the only things that I could see spoiling what should be a great game.

I just like to keep Eagles fans grounded :lol: god knows they can be a bit euphoric or fatalistic in their fandom.

This will be a fun two weeks. Either an Andy Reid revenge game Super Bowl or Joe Cool vs the Eagles D.

Well, it’s going to be hard for the 49ers to comeback from here with their 4th string QB, but this game has me convinced that the Eagles are not as good as either KC or the Bengals. 14 points that they shouldn’t have had today - 7 off a 4th down dropped catch, 7 off an unforced fumble. Hurts hasn’t ...

Shanny with a massive **** up on the first drive, failing to challenge a 4th down Devonta Smith catch that was not in fact a catch. Eagles score a TD off the back of it. Now Purdy fumbles and Eagles recover. Bad start for the 9ers.

I've never understood this side of the NFL. Why is Barkley being squeezed out of the Giants? He's their best player over the past few years. Something about 'franchising' the player?

Panthers hire Frank Reich. Pretty underwhelmed to be honest. It’s not a devastating hire, just kind of meh.

9-6 San Fran lead at halftime.
Cowboys receive the ball in the second half, 9ers force a punt, but Ray-Ray McCloud muffs it and Cowboys recover.
Brett Maher has the yips so this will likely be touchdown or bust

Re: NFL Thread

Bills defence was a toothless tiger without Von Miller. If it’s an Eagles/Bengals Super Bowl matchup, I’d back the Eagles defence to do a much better job of pressuring Burrow. But they’d need a big game from their DTs to stop the Bengals run game.

Giants needs for 2023: WR - they’ll cut Kenny Golloday to save $6.7MM. Richie James is a free agent - they might resign him on a cheap deal since he also acts as their punt returner.

Giants had their Super Bowl last week, and were totally outclassed last night. It was a good reminder that they’ve still got a long way to go. To win a playoff game with a WR group of Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, and Richie James was a remarkable coaching effort. It’s somewhat ironic that the Eag...
