If Jalen Carter would have shoved Prescott to the ground--an act that could cause physical injury--he wouldn't have been ejected or suspended. The refs would have ran over, broke it up, and threw an unsportsmanlike flag, if that. Shows you how nonsensical the NFL's view on what constitutes unacceptable behavior is.

The crying on X is hilarious. Nobody has ever been suspended for that before and people are flipping out over the time served. I love it.

What he did was a non football act. They view it differently. I’m not saying at all that he deserved more just that’s it different than a football play

Womp Womp. You know he's gotta be mad that he was cut for 1 day and lost his number.

Sad to lose him for an extended period. Really want to see him gain some momentum in his career. I really think hes an excellent player being slept on by a lot of people and he hasn't been able to stay healthy enough to show it.

I did compare him to McCaffrey who has had numerous injury plagued seasons. Hopefully he stays on the field eventually and gets to show similar upside as well.

Yeah, sucks not being able to see what he can really do. Hopefully, we can get to see it later on in the year.

People in America are raised to be ignorant obedient morons.

The internet told these vermin to hate Jalen Carter.

The TV tells them to hate 24/7, why not hate a grown man who spit back after someone spit at him? Lamar fights a fan he was taunting from inches away? Nope, the TV did not tell them what to think about Lamar.

They get their punishment too. They have to live their pathetic lives.

What football act is involved in a Baltimore Ravens taunting train along the wall on top of the fans in Buffalo?

Jaggy JAG should just be grateful to still be getting a paycheck.

Every win Burrow has over the Chiefs was in large part due to Lou Anarumo.

(see the turnovers and red zone stops)

He is gone now.

Every loss Hurts has vs the Chiefs is 90% Gannon vs Mahomes and Reid. ( see multiple uncovered WR TDs)

He is gone now.

Burrow is 39-30-1 with 1 SB TD (same number of TD passes as his RB)

His backup is 4-3 with the crappy 2023 Bengals. 100 passer rating.

Hurts is 47-20 with 7 SB TDs

Burrow is a second rate QB at best unless you are some kind of 1984 style passing yards weirdo.

He drops back way too much and he runs way too little. This is wonderful for stats and sack pity but it does not win games. Hint: if a QB needs sack pity it’s probably because he sucks at football.

Put SB legend Hurts with Montana and Burrow with sack pity David Carr.

When Burrow is not good enough and his team is eliminated… that’s when he can really shine by throwing footballs at those moving targets at the Pro Bowl Games. He’s the Ultimate Pro Bowl Games Weapon.

The 2019, 2021, and 2023 Eagles were not good football teams.

Wentz, Hurts, and Hurts got them to the playoffs through superior QB play.

The narrative that all Hurts teams are great is total garbage.

So Hurts could go to Tennessee and have them winning the Super Bowl within 2 years? After all, he only needs JAGS around him (according to you)

He was a crucial cog in the SB LII season … average?

Not sure i would say crucial. He played half the season. Mills and Douglas were the starters when he returned from injury and remained there. Robinson had NCB locked. Corey Graham slid into the hybrid S/LB/DB role when Hicks got hurt. He certainly started his tenure with a bang (int), but then dislocated his ankle 8 mins (IIRC) into his time here.

NFL.com disagrees with you. They had Majors as the top rated Center, with Willie Lampkin 2nd and Drew Kendall 6th.

Honestly I didn’t even have Kendall on my radar, Majors looked like a good plug and play late round pick if RG needed Jurgens to swing back out there.

Voila, Wembley but better.

Fair weather: open

Foul weather: partially closed, but field exposed

Lightning: closed

Maybe it’s just the stubborn, now ‘old’ purist in me, but i hate the idea. I also have this notion that might be wrong that all ‘retractable’ roofs tend to stay closed more than open due to ‘wear and tear’.

Though, if we went that route…fans would break the decibel record the first time it’s closed. I don’t think it would even be safe to be inside there.

A lot of players start that way. Some eventually develop into pretty good starters (see Josh Jobe). If anything, there is an opportunity for him on this team right now.

Who remained where? Douglas remained the starting RCB? I think you're mixing up seasons or something. Darby was the starter when he came back.

Hate to derail the football conversation here, but I have a dating question for the Blog. Have been out of the dating scene for a while now. Self-induced. Other priorities.

But I feel like I met future Mrs.Iggles25 last week. The odds of our encounter were extraordinarily low. We've been on two dates. She is moving to NC from Long Island in 2026. She leaves for Long Island tomorrow and won't be back until November.

Question: Will sex on the third date ruin this thing? That's were it's heading. I am on the absolute fence here. I've seen it play out both ways.

Make fun if you will. My siblings and friends give me conflicting answers. Feel like there is quite the cross section of knowledgable minds here. I don't want to screw this one up.

You are asking a bunch of long term married guys for advice on dating? Every day for me is a date with the redhead dream. And I still misread signals after 42 years.

I’m fine with a retractable roof as concerts or lightning happen, just also design the necessary drainage so it can be open the rest of the time rain or shine.

A new stadium with retractable roof, seats 60,000. It's late December, 22* with light now. What do you think 58000 of those 60000 are going to demand re roof open vs roof closed?

Glad the Carter situation was handled sensibly. NFL made sure to note that he was suspended a game to set that precedent, and he gets to play Week 2.

In the SB, I feel like the Chiefs sold out to stop Carter and Saquon. I wonder if they stick to that plan or try something else after the beat down they received

Right now, our OL is nowhere near what we had in the SB. I don't think the Chiefs will have to stack the LOS to stop the run.

Partially open, the field gets snow the fans don't.

I don't get waiving Gabe Hall at all.

Zadarius Smith takes his place as a 3/4 DE. Edge is the wrong term a 274 pound DE. The DEs are basically Ojomo, ZS, Robinson (when he is ready) and Young. ZS and OO are more DE than OLB when the Eagles go light and both can probably play BG "DT”. (Although OO has played some OLB). Ojomo, Robinson and Young also can line up in traditional DT alignments. Vic loves diversity.

Tank is the BVS replacement, ZS is the Gabe Hall replacement. Cue some Beat to say Tank isn’t a FB and ZS is a pass rush specialist.

The purists have an uphill battle versus NFL owners intent on maximizing profit, the retractable roof stadium is a compromise that in my opinion is much better than professional football becoming an indoor sport filmed from the inside of an ikea complex.

The Principality Stadium in Cardiff has a retractable roof, but in bowl, a similar design to Wembley

The Spurs stadium doesn't have a retractable roof, but is more enclosed than Wembley

The Everton stadium has a different design touch on it - note how close to the sea it is for inclement weather

Design over here has taken leaps and bounds in the past 25-30 years. Beforehand, it was bland AF.

And credit to the Spurs stadium - 1 natural grass pitch that can retract for a field turf pitch, the in middle of London. Not like building on a parking lot in the Denver suburbs.
