OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): When You're Up, It's Never As Good As It Seems, And When You're Down, You Never Think You'll Be Up Again

[Beef Invictus]

I wish I could be as happy as that bearded dude.

This first half lasted about 7 minutes

Cam Hayward doing things in a “pile,” where have I seen that before?

From an 0-5 start. Drafting Tom Brady over Hurts because I scrolled down too far on the draft window. Managing to take Fieldsy because I always take a backup QB and didn't expect him to have this kind of breakout. Winning 5 in a row to finish up the regular season to only get into the playoffs by a point differential of +20 (some division shenanigans). A relatively easy quarterfinal matchup into a struggle where Rhomandre almost cost the season. To Justin Jefferson putting up 2.5 pts in the championship game.

ChipWasRight is victorious.

Having the Jags have to play Saturday night on short rest against a team with a couple days extra rest is a sham.

My league that doesn't matter does 2 week playoffs matchups (I know....) and I'm up a fat 80 spot after a 150 pt week #1. Crowning the Chupacornonthecabras champion after a second place finish last year looks like a strong possibility.

In the league that matters, after scratching out a win last week to avoid the toilet bowl and draft day punishment, I'll be closing out the season with another W to finish 9th of 12 (barring a 55 spot from Josh Allen). A nice salvage to a season in which I drafted Taylor, Hall, and Herbert within my first 5 picks

I don't mind sounding like an idiot when I say this, but the Eagles were rigged to lose this game. Think about it, if they clinched the bye today, the Giants vs Eagles next week would have been the ONLY GAME with absolutely nothing at stake. That includes playoff scenarios as well as draft positioning. Between the NFL and sports gambling, they couldn't allow a game to mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

I mean look no further than that holding call

He has some interesting takes but Brock against the Raiders was just trying to throw them the ball.

Go Rams.

A “meaningless” SNF game between the Lions and Packers to end the regular season will be brutal.

It’s still unbelievable what they’re doing with the Jags/Titans.

I don't follow, what about Lions vs Packers would be "meaningless"?

If Seattle wins, they still would need Packers to lose

If the Seahawks beat the Rams in the 4:25 window then the Lions are eliminated. It will still matter for the Packers though.

The only way that the game matters for both the Lions and Packers is if the Rams beat (or maybe tie) the Seahawks earlier in the day.

Usually they try and make sure that these last SNF games matter for both teams but this year they’re taking a leap.

Stick a fork in ‘em.

This is looking super bad with Hamlin

 

[Halladay]

This is scary. Similar to what happened to Eriksen at the euros with giving him CPR.

 

[Flybynite]

This is looking super bad with Hamlin

Saw something that CPR was going on for like 9 or 10 mins... That doesn't sound very good even if they got his heart started again.

 

[Flybynite]

NFL "Ok. 5 mins to warm-up and go back to football"

Sounds like Amazon when someone jumps to their death in a warehouse and they shut it down for a shift and then start it back up.

Game suspended now.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

They can’t play this game.

“Temporarily.”

I can’t see them coming back out from the locker room though.

 

[DancingPanther]

Commotio cordis. I was reading about this once back in school

Yeah the Bills look too stunned to play and the Bengals don't look much better
