Football General Talk

You may very well be right- this year feels wide open, even more than usual. The type of year a wildcard team makes a deep push.

I think the Chargers are going to crush some dreams if they make the playoffs.

49ers defense is built to stop the RPO. Eagles will have serious problems with them. Also eagles biggest weakness on defense is stopping the run and the 49ers run as good as anybody. I just don't see them beating the niners.

Yes, and I am an Eagles fan for many years now and go to the games with my son, who has season tickets. They have just squeezed by in too many games. I have to agree with you, but you never really know until it’s Super Bowl time.

Nick Foles is proof of that too. Their isn't a person in this world that thought he was gonna beat Brady. Besides his team and him.

And probably not even them if they were honest.

The dreams of Chargers fans?

Theres only 4 real competitors to me. NFC: 49s/eagles AFC: Bills/Chiefs. But as we see often the best teams don't always win espically the superbowl, look at last year. Arguably the best playoff game in NFL history was between bills/chiefs in the divisional round and neither team even made superbowl. Got to have a ticket punched to get in but then things like lucky bounces matter where teams like Vikes and Cincy have a horseshoe up there arse. I do know for sure the pats aint winning it...lol

Bills v chiefs last year was a good example of how seating match up's effect playoffs. Sometimes the two best teams beat the hell out of each other and are still emotionally and physically drained the following game.

I’ll admit it’s a cool story, but I don’t see a team with Mr Irrelevant as the QB winning the Super Bowl.

It seems unlikely but the rest of the team may just be enough. Regardless they are playing house money at this point.

I don't see any AFC team being a clear favorite over Philly or San Fran right now.

This! I mean, Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson won super bowls as starters.

You could add Peyton Manning with his Bronco title. History shows that the Seahawks title with Wilson was far more about their defense and Marshawn Lynch at RB, than it was Wison.

Yup and 49ers D will have to prove equally legendary if they were to pull this off.

One thing that is crucial and must not be easy to project is pocket presence for quarterbacks. The pass rush is like nothing they have seen at the college level. It seems to me that Mr. Irrelevant has more of it than his draft status would have warranted.

He'll be pocket christened...

Hurts has a sore shoulder, might be questionable for the 24th against the Cowboys.

 

[noharleyyet]

Hurts is deserving of every accolade coming his way. A great ambassador and hard worker. The way he handled the Tua deal at Bama & didn't skip a beat at OU. The kudos he sent Saban's way. He is the antithesis of the spoiled brat athletic iterations so prevalent at the elite levels.

Where's the fun in that?

And Rodgers sails his first interception of the evening. He is about 1 yr behind Brady.

Did he break an ipad?

I know. Troy is full of BS. And that's nothing new. I think he is my least favorite announcer. but his partner is a close 2nd.

I like em better than the buffoon platoons on pregame...but yea, the Madden, Gifford, and Meredith template is hard to fill.
