We've run it through the simulator and this is the result we get every time:

Sure, we'll have trouble covering the receivers but it's all about time of possession, lads!

Idk if there would be a ton of issue with covering the receivers. Who the fuck is on the black team that's going to make a good offensive line? White team is going to have the ball like 70% of the game and going to enjoy a bunch of corner backs trying to cover/block tight ends. If you think having the best skill position players and having a shit offensive and defensive line will win you these games, might I suggest watching Colorado this season with Deion
 
Jalen Hurts is struggling this season, even with a stacked team around him. Another huge QB contract the team is going to regret.

It's ending up as another Josh Allen/Ken Dorsey situation. Hurts is BFFs with Brian Johnson since he's been in Philly as the QB coach, and their relationship is highly similar to the one between Allen and Dorsey. Now that Dorsey is out of the picture with the Bills, we've seen Allen revert back to his mean and perform to expectations (this past week not withstanding). After Jalen's presser last night, I'm not confident that the situation on offense is going to get better. Philly was dominating for most of the year and then they just shit the bed the last few weeks? Something is going on and I don't think it's all Jalen's fault.

It doesn't help either that they made Matt fucking Patricia the defensive play caller last night and put Sean Desai up in the coach booth. Patricia has ridden on Belichick's coattails and is an insult to NFL coaching. The only reason he gets hired anywhere is the fact that he was part of Belichick's coaching tree, which historically has not worked for anyone other than Bill Belichick.

I didn't know that about their relationship. I don't know if it's Johnson, Sirianni, or Hurts, but whomever decided to keep taking deep shots in the 4th quarter is 100% responsible for the loss last night. There was no reason to be that aggressive when they had the lead or were close to field goal range.

The bigger suprise is that he felt comfortable to leave the Patriots a second time. We saw how well that worked for McDaniels
 
I'm just glad that the Seahawks are playing at the very least okay. We're not even close to the best team in the league, but we have a framework to build around. The question is, can we correct the discipline issues on the team? Is Pete still a coach who can rally a team around him and buckle down, or is it time to start looking elsewhere... preferably far away from the McDaniels and Patricias of the world.

Thank you for bringing the NFC East down a peg. Glad both the Eagles and Cowboys lost. Tired of hearing how either one of them are super bowl favorites when one has lost to the Cardinals and the other lost to the Jets

I don't even like San Fran, but the NFC East has been on pure hopeium all season thinking that either the Eagles or the Cowboys have a chance against them in the playoffs, especially after SF absolutely blew out both of them during the regular season.

Also, if Geno Smith is healthy the Seahawks are gonna beat the Lions in the playoffs... I can just feel it...
 
Minor PL: I've been following Iowa State football for ages (saw them at a weird neutral site game against Florida State in Kansas City for whatever reason because a friend was an alum and had an extra ticket, and yes, Seneca was in:
OT, Seneca was something else:
),

... so the Brock Purdy thing is just beyond belief. I wasn't a 49ers fan before (cursed to follow Da Bears), but certainly have been cheering him and the 9ers on these two season. But to see an ISU alum, who did ok at ISU, as drafted to the NFL as Mr. Irrelevant, to rise up and be here:
1703095792143.png

... leading the MVP race in December, as a 2nd year player, recovering from an injury, it's just weird. Maybe up there with the Kurt Warner story from the late 90s.

The Shield and the League in general has done a lot to make me not give a shit about the NFL (and I'll be real, the McCaskeys have done a lot to make me hate the sport, or at least the team in the Windy City)... but seeing a young guy who did it the right way, led his college team to their first New Year's Six Bowl (and win), had a disappointing senior year but is now just killing it at the top level... it's cool.

I don't know what will happen between now and the end of the season, but it's a heck of a story.

The NFC East hasn't been a competitive division for years. It certainly hasn't been an interesting division in my lifetime, and I'm nearly 30 years old. The last time the division was really good was probably in the 80s and early 90s.

It's a nice shock for a change to see that division turn things around after a slow march of mediocrity
