OT: Football Thread

[klingsor]

I blame it on the broken chain.

 

[Bob Richards]

Haha oh man. This ain’t Minnesota.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Reality is slapping the Giants in the face. This has been a nice run but an overall talent upgrade is required going forward.

I know it's no mans land but can't go for it 4th and 8.

That was a poor decision.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Eagles playing the short pass cause the Giants oline can't hold blocks long.

Long enough for receivers to get down the field.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I think I'm done watching.

*wonders how long before Synergy notices he's posting in the football thread accidentally*

I’m like the toothless old man sitting in the corner muttering nonsense.

My b.

 

[Machinehead]

I don't get how the Eagles even lost any games.

This team is too good for the NFL.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Thankfully they won't be nearly as deep next year due to not having enough cap space to keep their free agents and have to pay Hurts.

No holes anywhere. They got gifted guys like James Bradberry and Gardner-Johnson for basically nothing and they count for pennies against the cap.

 

[Machinehead]

They get pressure sending three guys and they can basically double team everyone downfield.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Every team has holes. Eagles aren't great against the run including running QBs.



Giants poor game plan. Thinking they can throw on them.

We're throwing because we have 11 yards on 6 carries.

 

[klingsor]

That was a shit call

They never established it. Never abandon the run too quickly.

 

[Bob Richards]

The talent disparity is enormous.

I’m not even that mad. They’re just incredibly overmatched.

 

[Mandar]

Giants have a legit shot against Philly. They peaked early.

Cowboys-49ers will be a bloodbath.

Nah

 

[Machinehead]

It was going nowhere. You can't just run again when it's 2nd and long.

The Eagles might be bad against run but they made it a complete nonfactor tonight.

 

[Machinehead]

The Giants need a few more weapons to compete at the top level.

They don't have the horses to pass against teams of this caliber and teams of this caliber won't let them run.

We knew that.

The season was still a huge step forward and beating Minnesota was valuable experience even though they were always a paper tiger.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

You can see one team has talent and the other doesn’t.

The Giants need a lot of pieces. When was the last time they could cover a tight end?

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Giants look like they were moving the ball until Jones tripped and Daboll's dumb 4th and 8th call.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Nah

Well easy to respond 34 minutes ago lol. They definitely did. Philly came out and played a near perfect first half. Giants didn’t and they needed to in order to have a chance. Hurts also doesn’t look like he’s feeling anything from that shoulder

I feel like the tight end thing happens to everyone.

The whole point of the position, receiving wise, is to execute big plays on third down and in the red zone.

 

[17futurecap]

Daboll is awesome, but that punt down 28-7 was comical.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

Daboll is awesome, but that punt down 28-7 was comical.

It really felt like he waved the white flag.

Yeah, this was an A+ season for what was expected. I'm very satisfied.

It sucks losing but they literally had the best case scenario which was make the playoffs and do some damage.

Still need to work on that OLine (I'm not sold on Bredenson, Feliciano, and Gates), get some WR help (Robinson will be back early next season but they need some young tall dudes), keep getting defensive depth, and I'd also like to get a new punter in here.

All positives, and the schedule isn't too terrible next year.
