The NFL Thread - Root for your favorite team (or laugh at the Browns, whichever's easier)

Was truly a white boy Thursday for football tonight. I really love how giddy that Giants HC was earlier, running to Dart and thanking him so much.

 

[俺たちファームズでノッテる]

Yeah, I'm not willing to write the Eagles off yet after that game, but I am concerned about how quickly they checked out.
People complain about their offense, but that defense stopped being able to get to Dart after about 2 drives and the secondary was busier running into each other and blowing coverages than actually covering Giants targets.

Keep in mind.

Giants first division win in 9 games
TNF so short week (10 day bye after this)
First pick for Jalen Hurts all year
Giants might just actually be good again.

Such a white boy Thursday we had two white defensive backs attempt to take each other out on the Eagles
smdh intraracial violence what is the world coming to

Daboll may have just saved his job. Sure, the Giants are probably still a lock for 4th place in the Division, but it’s something.

Seriously, what kind of Superbowl Hangover is this for the Eagles? They’ve yet to play a full 4 Quarters all season…

Philadelphia had a rough day in sports all over the country:

The Phillies got eliminated from the playoffs by the World Series defending Dodgers in Los Angeles. The Flyers lost their season opener in Florida against the reigning Stanley Cup winning Panthers. The Super Bowl defending Eagles cap it off by losing to the Giants (who've won 1 playoff game since their Super Bowl win of the 2011 season.)

Issue with the Eagles was that they had an easy schedule last year and the Chiefs were not just fraudulent, they were terrible.

Their offense is lazy and the tush push is basically going to fuck them because they designed around that. Their defense gave up. They’ll likely win against Jew Jew McSharty and the Vicuckqueens if Jew Jew is playing. If it’s Wentz they will struggle.

Did seem like Philly's D did in fact give up in that 2nd half, would like to see what sort of injuries they are dealing with. The average NFLnigger has a short memory and next to zero league knowledge outside of their favoured team.

You're underselling how bad it was. Extra innings, and they lose due to the pitcher fielding the ball and making an error throwing to home.

The Flyers lost their season opener in Florida against the reigning Stanley Cup winning Panthers.

Eh, they lost 2-1 against the reigning champs. They shouldn't feel too bad about this one.

The Super Bowl defending Eagles cap it off by losing to the Giants (who've won 1 playoff game since their Super Bowl win of the 2011 season.)

A Giants team that had to throw in Russell Wilson.

I do kind of wonder how well Dart will do when he gets more experience, cause he's just a rookie thrown into the game week 4. He for sure needs to hold the ball less and share it with his team, cause he does put himself into to many dangerous situations as seen with that hard hit that took him out for three plays earlier.

Like I said before he reminds me a lot of Baker who did the same extremely stupid shit (why are you trying to stiff arm a DE?)

I have high hopes that he'll be good once he grows up and calms down a bit.

 

[Looseleaf Paper]

Happy to see that my "no repeat NFC east winners streak" is still alive. If the Eagles keep this up it will come down to the wire.

My main worry is Daboll will be too concerned about saving his job to tell Dart to not lead into tackles with his head and he'll wind up on the Tua career arc

 

[Anorexic Robot]

Can any browns fans let me know what to expect from Greg Newsome after the Campbell trade?

 

[VasonJoorhees]

First pick for Jalen Hurts all year

The only reason he never throws picks is because he never throws the ball more than 10 yards lol, did you see how trash his reads were? Turns out the guy who has like 200 passing yards a game going back three seasons despite having two All-Pro WRs, a Pro Bowl TE and a HOF OL might not actually be that good at passing the ball! Whoda thunk?

Also willing to bet my cock and balls the tush push is banned after this season. Watching 4 in a row with blatant false starts that are never called every time was like visual waterboarding.

I know my exact words to every team whining to have the Tush Push banned were “Git Gud”, but if you were to tell me the Eagles were just running it excessively to spite the teams that votes to ban it, I’d believe you.

Unfortunately for the Eagles, the Tush Push is probably the most productive play they have this season, likely because they built the O-Line pretty much exactly for it.

The false starts are so consistent the refs should just start calling it automatically. 90% of the time they would be right without having to see anything at all. It also would put them out of the tush push zone so the refs don't gotta deal with that shit for the rest of the downs.

Conspiracy theory, but I'd bet the great nooooticing of false starts is an elaborate scheme to kill the play while minimizing fan pushback. There's no way the Iggles just now started false starting on at least half of their tush pushes. The only explanation that makes sense to me is Jerruh "Accidental Middle Finger" Jones and/or Bob "Shady Massage Parlor" Kraft put the word out for broadcasters to nooootice. Now Kraft was one of the owners to voooote against the ban, so the magic eightball is indicating something about glory holes and Dallas.

Hey now, don't bad mouth Russell. Him playing QB might be the cure to concussions

The only fans who like it are Eagles fans and fuck 'em.

It just sucks to watch and defenses don't really try funny stuff to stop it even though they probably should (0T trap, 1T to Hurts' left tries to punch the ball out immediately, etc.) so you might as well stop watching and do something else for a while.

So after UNC fires Belichick can we all pretend we all thought he was a Bradybaby HC and viciously mock anyone who argues against it?

(I still think he was good, just that he got too dependent on Tom and couldn’t adapt when he left.)

Let’s be honest: Belichick is the most overrated head coach in NFL history.

He did NOTHING in his head coaching career before Brady arrived in New England and he did NOTHING after Brady departed. He is floundering at North Carolina. Mac Jones is now thriving with the 49ers after getting away from Belichick.

I believe that Belichick would NEVER have won a single playoff game if he didn’t have Tom Brady at QB. IOW, he is a seriously below average head coach.

Ok in fairness on this one, it's also entirely possible that the Shanahan system means any mediocre QB will look like a million bucks. See also Brock Purdy.

Which now that I've said it makes Trey Lance washing out of that system fucking comical...
