  • Perfect weekend for me. I got to make my long time soul mate my wife officially. And I got a eagles win today. Life is good.

Someone needs a new facetiousness meter as well.

Rowe will always be just ever so slightly out of reach of that Alshon SB TD.

I have to drop Herbert off that list now. At a certain point you have to just get it done. Herbert for all his talent has been unable to get his team to even a 7th seed, including likely this year.

Not disagreeing with you, but  some of the Chargers issues is the fact that their defense has ranked 23rd, 30th and 26th in the league last three years. I’d be curious to know in the last three years how many playoff teams made the playoffs with a bottom 10 defense. statistically they’ve been bottom 10 for three consecutive years.

Touche'

Kinda BS I’m not getting those yards from that Hill fumble TD. 

The Herbert hate is kinda silly.

Wonder how he'd look with the weapons, run game and line that Hurts currently has.

And before anyone cries that I'm taking a shot at Hurts or saying he's not as good, that isn't what I'm saying.

They are starting to get a bunch of injuries. They’re actually lucky Smith might be back 
 

Can't be Brady vs. Manning. I have read this board diligently and believe what I am reading. It's Carson Wentz vs Carson Strong. Gotta be. Hurts disqualified because he's a RB and is elite as a runner. It doesn't count. And it's...

"unsustainable"

Can someone please explain to me why the Giants dropped punt / kick was ruled illegal instead of a legal drop kick?

I don't know how Herbert would look in our offense, I do know Hurts looks like the league MVP in our offense.

I'm not messing with that, unless it's for Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen.

It has to be kicked just as it hits the ground on a drop kick... like any other place kick, just without a holder.  The ball should basically be exactly like it would be for a placekick as it is being struck, not bouncing about wildly and just happened to be kicked.

I'm not suggesting that we should, either. Hurts has been awesome this season.

Let's not pretend like Herbert hasn't absolutely dwarfed him the previous two, though. One year does not a career make.

I actually had a conversation with a friend who is a Chiefs fan. If you took out Mahomes and Jalen hurts out to the discussion as both are mvp candidates and just compared the rest of the offense i think the only position the Chiefs would be better than the Eagles is Travis Kelce and maybe thuney. I’d take Dickerson over him tbh. Center is closer than you think because Humphrey is really good. But otherwise taking 9 eagles out of the other 10 players.

Neither does two. Hurts' season this year has been more impressive than any of Herbert's, both in individual and team success.

I have not seen any hate for him. He's a top 10 QB and pushing for top 5.

He's just not on the level of Hurts who wins games that he should lose. Herbert loses games he should lose and sometimes games he should win.

If Herbert can't be Wentz 2019 then he's not a top 5 guy yet. 

He's 14th in passer rating and 16th in ANY/A. Top 5 in excuses does not cover the distance.

Tua is 3-14…

God so loved Philly that he made Hurts MVP.

Nice try but this is not correct. 

 

Believe it or not, the dropkick remains a legal maneuver in the National Football League today. It still exists in the NFL's official rule book. Rule 3, Section 18, Article 1, Item 1 defines the dropkick as, "a kick by a player who drops the ball and kicks it as, or immediately after, it touches the ground."

 

He kicked it on the first bounce. It was not bouncing about wildly

But that's exactly my point in regards to how short their careers are.

And again, your bias is showing. The dude threw for over 5,000 yards and 38 TDs last season with a dumb coach and mediocre team. He's very good and in a not so good situation.

I really don't understand why Herbert gets all the love he does. I mean he's a good QB. But he isn't special.
