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

[JojoTheWhale]

@Beef Invictus @DancingPanther Here’s a stat for you.

Top 1st Down% seasons in NFL History

1. 2004 Manning 45.5% (!!!!)
2. 2013 Manning 42.7%
3. 2006 Manning 42.6%
4. 2005 Manning 42.5%

If you adjust for league average, Manning at retirement had added a functionally equivalent amount of 1st Downs as 2nd (Brady) and 3rd (Brees) on the career list combined.

*Edit* I just realized I don’t know if you meant QB GOAT or GOAT GOAT. The latter is Jerry Rice. No debate.

This is a Legacy half for Andy Reid and possibly Mahomes too.

That moment when STH Super Bowl ticket rejection emails go out and your brother who has his email on the account is asleep.

[snoop88]

just got home from the game and broad street. SF players acting like jerks. real jerks.

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

Who is the broadcast team for the SB? Please don't say Collinsworth.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I bolieve in you.

Negative. Honestly, I’d rather have someone who will go get them. I’d just sell them and go away with the money.

Nope, we’re good. Burkhardt and Olsen.

QB goat. That's actually nuts. I'd love to see more nerdy stuff like that

We booked our flight home a couple weeks ago and our flight out there earlier this week.

They had a flight around midnight home with liedown first class seats so we figured we’d jump on those. Fly in and out day of and save money on a place to stay like I did last year.

Now I wait for this jabroni to wake up.

Footballperspective.com has some fantastic historical and statistical pieces from Bryan Frye (owner) and guests. Here’s Frye’s top 1000 he did in 2021 for example:

The Grand List counts down the top 1000 players in football history. Part twenty-five covers players 20-1.

We were not chosen. Womp Womp.

It's fox. So I would imagine it's who we had today.

That and 4000 commercials for 911 Alaska, MILF Factory, and the world premier of the Running Man.

 

[trostol]

[Halladay]

Mahomes wth?

Now do some stats so I feel like we can win the super bowl, pal.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

At least I’ve already seen an Eagles SB win in my lifetime. If the outcome doesn’t go the preferred way that certainly makes it easier to swallow. Same mindset I had with the Phillies WS too.

I’m convinced I might go a lifetime without seeing a Flyers SC win so that’s another story.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Are we approaching consensus that WR is the 2nd most valuable position yet? Or will it take a few more years?

And cocaine bear, apparently

 

[Van Buren Boy]

I really don't know who I prefer to play

 

[DancingPanther]

I knew the whole time this would be a close one. I've been at work since the second half started though basically, I heard Mahomes is looking particularly gimpy?
