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]

@Captain Dave Poulin The GOAT doing GOAT things.

That's unbelievable. We'll never, ever have anything half as good again.

@Hollywood Cannon is a huge fan of watching Giants games, so he's happy.

Who said being a weeb/otaku wouldn't help? He has the power of Anime by his side.

It’s Cap’s girl.

Do they have any f***ing clue who’s watching these games?

Von Miller out injured for the Bills is massive. Carted off the field. Really shows you how awesome the 2017 team. Lost probably the MVP pf the league, a very good left tackle, and a good mike linebacker. Still won. They are an underrated team historically. Had a point differential of +162, is doesnt happen often.

@Captain Dave Poulin thoughts on Bebe Rexha’s halftime performance?

I didn't see it, but I can guarantee that it was shit.

I didn't see it, but I can guarantee that it was shit.

The people at the stadium couldn't see it either - the stage was practically on the concourse

I didn't see it, but I can guarantee that it was shit.

This pretty much sums it up.

Ducks are made to be watched and snuggled with, not to be f***ing eaten.

You think? I like them well enough. Much better than the complete mess that are their regular unis with like 5 different shades of blue and silver.

either the shoulders need to be bluew or the pants..that combo seems just..off

 

[Jack Straw]

Those are basically the uniforms they had when they first entered the league. As throwbacks go, they're not bad.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

omg wtf ...

Again, the point is not talent. The meaningful bit is that the complexities of the QB position have increased to such a degree that we're no longer comparing apples to apples.

You could not have picked a better list for me to illustrate my point. On that list the second youngest guy is Brett Favre. Despite being pond scum as a human being, Favre played a vital role in the evolution of a play that's been run for decades. The full story seems to only exist in archives at this point, but here's a link to the evolution of the Mills play, as coined by Steve Spurrier. To this day, it's the best sports piece I've ever read:

The long and the short of it is that current QBs have wildly different demands today even while running plays that have been around for decades.

This is way late, but thank you for posting this kind of stuff. Always appreciate the knowledge and insight you bring to the board. Parts of that article go way over my head, but still...football strategy is sports porn for me Thanks again.

The Giants mash squad is hanging in there in Dallas.
