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

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Tight ends lolz

EDIT:

I still don't get how teams don't have a coach that is specifically responsible for time and game management.

I also don't understand how punting is still a thing past the middle of the field or that it is still so prevalent in general. Especially later in the game. I just don't understand it. You need a stop anyways. Defending less of the field is easier and if you need a 3 and out anyways from them, it really does not matter where that happens (provided it is outside of field goal range).


Oh well. As expected it is the 49ers. Scary team but they certainly were not great today.

Peanut brain from Schultz on two consecutive plays.

Neither of the teams playing today beats the Saturday Eagles

There typically are staff in the booth with pre-determined info designed to help with these things.

Often with things like 4th Down decisions, they're done with sliding scales. A team might for example have separate charts for considering them as 1, 4, and 7 Point favorites. It's done this way to allow coaches to read the gamescript a bit.

Now I can go back to hating the Niners.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Lolz, Zeke.

 

[BringBackFletcher]

Dallas is so incompetent

 

[BigToe]

Lmao they’re so bad

 

[Svechhammer]

San Fran it is

Should be a good one

I dont claim to know much but, like... that couldnt have had better odds than a hail Mary right?

 

[Beef Invictus]

A stupid play goes stupidly.

The Ravens are obnoxious in end of game situations with their organized and meticulous waste of time. Dallas though, it's usually barely contained panic.

Zeke immediately swallowing the ball like a pill would have been as likely to work.

That's the thing with the NFL, these sample sizes are minisclue. Based on a season worth of evidence though I think Eagles are clear favorites, maybe line of +6?

Edit: Meant -6

Hiring a courier service had better odds than whatever that was.

That is too high. I would have guess 4 or so.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

-3

I was wrong, it’s -1.5.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Props to the Cowboys for always finding new, entertaining ways to catastrophically blow the last play of a playoff game.

Smash that Eagles button.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Edit: Now -2

Prayed to 'God' that if he could win that 3rd Super Bowl in the 90s he'd never ask to win another one.

Mebbe God does exist

I tried to warn everyone towards the end of the RS that SF is a neutral field favorite.

That doesn't mean it's anything but a super close game. We're well into coin flip range. That's all you can ask for this deep.
