Other Sports: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): THIS IS BRAZIL - Super Bowl LIX Champions

I will always appreciate coaches who understand trying to win games is always better than trying not to lose in the long run.

That doesn't help me in fantasy Jojo

We're into the stretch drive folks. Philly, Detroit and Minny in an absolute brawl for that
all important #1 seed.

I'm predicting: Lions lose to the Bills, beat Bears, 49ers, and Vikings.
Eagles win out.

Which would have them tied and I have no idea who gets the tie-breaker.

It's dumb to need a streaming service to watch a game, but I love prime vision, or whatever. That throw from Love a couple plays ago was nuts.

I tuned in to watch the last half of the fourth quarter. My television was taking forever loading the Prime TV app, then the screen went black (happened multiple times in the process)...I had to "register" online (although I had watched multiple NFL games on Prime already this season...whatever), re-load the app...anyway, this slog went on for 15 minutes. When the picture finally came on, the winning FG had just left the ground. Turned the TV off as soon as it went through the uprights and went back to work. Great use of my time.

fantasy wise..St Brown has been disappointing the last few weeks

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I have no idea who gets the tie-breaker.

Detroit is overwhelmingly likely to have the two-way tiebreaker now that they swept GB. If it’s three ways with Minnesota, then it gets more complicated. I think most three way ties actually give the 1 Seed to Minnesota though.

It’s H2H —> Conference Record —> Common Opponents (this is where that 2nd GB win matters) —> Strength of Victory. Detroit is essentially uncatchable by anyone in SoV.

Campbell vs Sirianni in the playoffs worries me. Campbell might be more important to his team than any HC since Belicheck.

I'd look at it more like Ben Johnson vs Vic Fangio. I was trying to look up stats on how Goff performed vs Fangio defenses and got to reading this article.

A Look Back at How Vic Fangio's Bears Defense Throttled the Rams in 2018

Fangio's approach led to copy cats who slowed down the Rams offense for 2 years

My brother in Christ, Hurts a field general? Am I reading this right?

Hurts is horrendous at everything a field general QB needs to do

Just win, Baby.

[DancingPanther]

The total TDs things always cracks me up, as if Hurts doesn't have 7 or whatever tush push TDs that I can score.

And I mean that. I could score them. It's all Mailata and Dickerson, folks. Surf the wedge

 

[Svechhammer]

Ahh damn, this can't be good

 

[DancingPanther]

His eyes were yellow, then he wore sunglasses. Pertinent information

 

[JojoTheWhale]

@Chinatown88 I put my preliminary tiers together for the first time.

Tier 1 is the 2 Corners

Tier 2
1. Mason Graham
2. Malaki Starks
3. Ashton Jeanty
4. Luther Burden

Uh oh. What's happening?

And um. I don't think I'm going to be near consensus this year...

Tier 3
1. Tyler Warren
2. Nick Emmanwori
3. Tetairoa McMillan

*Edit* I missed Abdul Carter on Tier 2. My bad.

its not like every QB can do that though, takes a strength in legs few have.

 

[DancingPanther]

No, it doesn't. The way the Eagles do it, you and I could score on a ton of those plays. This isn't bashing Hurts, it's praising Mailata and Dickerson. And a bit of Jurgens. And Stoutland of course

 

[deadhead]

No, it doesn't

Yes it does. Watch when the Eagles run it with anyone else.
Hurts is built like a power back and runs like one.
He can get low for leverage and use his powerful lower body to push forward.

@JojoTheWhale

This is a throw that fits my definition of throwing somebody open. This is Jalen putting his receiver in the black hole of 3 zones (you could even say 4)

Independent of timing, independent of any exploitable commitment by a defender, independent of play concept. Just getting your guy to the only spot he can get to

I believe you. Kurt Benkert is not going anywhere near my YouTube algorithm.

I never watch his breakdowns, I just wanted to hear what Vick had to say.

I used to watch Kurt's video game stuff. They were fun for what they were. Now he's doing this weird shit with sleeper and blah blah. I stick to Kollmann and JT for the good stuff.

I enjoy them too.

Sometimes I remember my favorite football analyst is the son of the guy who invented the Randy (Proud M.A.D. Cat) Ratio and just think, "Yeah, that checks out."

Perhaps the Eagles have an AJ Ratio? A Saquon ratio? (I hope not for Barkley's sake)

 

[trostol]

isn't Seth a little biased though

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Ok, I will absolutely watch this.
