Other Sports: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Vegas, Baby! (2023 Regular Season)

[deadhead]

I could not possibly agree with you more. Those people were just born in the wrong place or liked the wrong jersey or player. In return, they got decades of misery.

I'm old enough to remember when Eagle fans were in that category.
Lurie took a lot of shit, but he's been maybe the best owner of a Philadelphia franchise.

This gives me a woody.

Hoping to see a better all around performance Thursday. Starting the season 2-0 with a 10 day break is rather significant

Just popping in to say that Hurts looked a whole lot like a previous Eagles QB on Sunday.

Won’t name any names but I think we all saw it.

Kevin Kolb?

Rodney Peete?

If I look this guy up and he’s from before the year 2000 I’m going to be mad.

Shows you how fast Jones was getting rid of the ball, against someone with a slower release and a stubborn OC who wanted to throw downfield they might have put up a half dozen or more sacks.

It’s hard to stun me with how violent football can be or even could in the past, but flip to the play that starts at 1:25. Holy SHIT.

Obviously your example is more extreme, but I immediately thought of the DawkPlex



Edit: fugget

I'm adding the Crumpler hit because LET'S GO BIRDS, THAT'S WHY!

WWF stuff. Reminds me of the Tua hit last year. The scariest part is when they're getting whipped around right before impact.

Looks like he might've gotten a bit lucky and rolled on his helmet? The first sequence is the worst for me. That guy seems to fumble because he's concussed from getting struck on the back of his head

 

[DancingPanther]

Fellas, I think a a ron tore that left achilles. At work again so finally got time to watch the vid instead of shitpost. Did you see how flaccid his ankle and calf muscle went as he was being driven to the ground? It was like his lower shin folded onto his foot. That doesn't happen with a broken ankle or calf injury. That's a broken tendon

You know it's almost like this guy is a doctor or something

first off..that looked like a Stone Cold Stunner to Swann

that Dawk suplex...that might be a touch illegal

that Dawk hit on Crumpler was clean

man should have seen Waters and Hopkins...

Oh yeah, Dawk's hit on Crumpler was clean - I'm just posting it because it's really fun to watch

I don't have favorite Eagles, even stretching back to my youth. The closest may have been Roman Gabriel, Bill Bergey, and that guy, Wes Hopkins. Before Andre Waters became a starter, Hopkins and Ray Ellis were a devastating pair of safeties for the birds when it came to - to borrow a Fred Shero quote - "arriving in an ill humor." The man hit like a high speed train.

I don't think those who never saw #48 (that's Hopkins) play can really get the sense of how hard he hit. He wasn't undisciplined like Waters, who would take penalties of aggression for the mere purpose of sending a message (and would, as a result, get flagged for every borderline transgression), and he had a knack for the ball. He had 5+ interceptions in five different seasons. Compare that to Brian Dawkins who never had more than four in a season.

Wes Hopkins is a severely overlooked and underappreciated former Eagle.

"However (Noll) was forced to admit under oath that several of his own Pittsburgh players would possibly fall under the label of the same 'criminal element' of which he had previously spoken."

Confirmed dirty, cheating scumbags. Preach.

Atoadaso. Af***inatoadaso.

OK, fine, then, Norm van Brocklin.

Hopkins hit significantly harder than Waters to me. Waters just got the headlines because of the dirtiness.

He also lived in my development when I was a kid. Super nice guy. He would stop to talk to us while we played street hockey.
