NFC and its QB play is so bad.

Eagles need to get their act together, this conference is so winnable.

Unfortunately this statement applies to hurts in just about every game

Why is a blocked extra point returned only worth 2 points but a blocked FG is 6?

I'm guessing because otherwise, it creates a scenario where teams can score an unequal amount of points on a given play. A team going for 2, can only max out at 2 points, so you can't allow the defense to score 6. Likewise, a team kicking a FG can still in theory run a fake and get 6 for a TD, so the defense also gets 6 for a return.

Makes sense thanks ☺️

Hurts at least has the excuse of not having his top WRs and an injured Lane.

If the level of play continues after we get all the troops back, then yes, unfortunate indeed.

But he didn't play well the first two games. And what about last season?

First game was fine, a few kinks are expected with no pre-season. No AJ for the 2nd game.

Everyone played bad last year, top to bottom.

Hurts has no excuses. None.

I don't think I've seen more teams blow games in the final 5 minutes with incompetence in my life than I've seen this season. The Eagles contributing with the Falcons game a few weeks back. But so many off the top of my head. Just today there were like 5 alone.

Some of the lowest quality football I can remember. Chiefs will win SB again by default

Especially with the refs on their side. 

Guess I'll root for the Steelers (Stillers)  tonight

PIT - 24

DAL - 13

Pedestrian football on its way. Expect at least 2 or 3 holding calls on Guyton.

The Eagles have Saquon Barkley. They have needs across the board. At what point in the draft is Ashton Jeanty too good to pass up in the draft? He's played in 16 quarters this year. He has 95 carries for 1,031 yards and 16 TDs. Unreal numbers. 

 

 

No RB in the first 2 rounds when the defense looks like this

So when there’s lightning they take all the players to the locker room while the fans are sitting much higher and are stranded in the seats

Tickets already bought and paid for. 

It's so great not having to hear about how great Brock Purdy is this season. Almost like he was never a great QB. Just good enough for that system

I've thought about that but I guess they figure the metal roof or overhang or whatever it's called will protect people in the seats. I don't plan to sit on one of those seats during a lightning event to test their theory.

I’d argue the lions offense is likely the best in the nfc right now. However i don’t think their defense will keep teams in the games. Frankly the nfc north is the best division in the nfc. Every team is 3-2, 3-1 or 5-0. Those matchups are going to be fun to watch. I don’t think packers or lions are playing are playing at their peak yet. Packers are one of the youngest team in the league so might get better as the season drags on. Bears have a good defense. Interested to see if their offense eventually can help their defense out (don’t buy their games against rams and panthers). Curious to see if Minnesota’s defense holds up over the 17 games. Lions are probably the favorite due to their offense but i think good offenses will be able to put up points

They made KC fans go into the concourse earlier this year IIRC.

Weird position Stefanski is in. Ownership is mandating Watson plays because they won’t accept that contract sitting on the bench, and it’s going to cost Stefanski his job and there’s nothing he can do about it.

Soft league won't play in rain.
