Brady and Patriots fans would be so much more insufferable if it wasn't for Eli & the Giants.

Yeah until the goal line pick by the Seahawks it was looking like Brady was never going to get another title. He got 3 in 4 years, ten year gap of awesome offense no titles,3 in 5 years mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Feb 11, 2023 |

SKULL.GIF posted:Raiders-Redskins in 1984, Raiders had won it in 1981 and Redskins in 1983 Yeah, that seems right. I think the only others that qualify prior to this year are both Cowboys-Steelers matchups from the 70s. There’s a bunch of others involving teams who were both in the Super Bowl within the previous five seasons, but not with both teams having won it (Several of these involve Denver in the 80s or Buffalo in the 90s).

Like, if everything else about Brady's career was the same except Seattle giving Lynch the ball on the goal line, the Falcons actually eating some clock in the second half and Jared Goff not imploding against the Patriots defense, a lot of people would probably still think of him as the GOAT, but there would be a lot more debate about it too.

Grittybeard posted:I think Spagnuolo is going to blitz his rear end off. So offensively for the Eagles it'll be a matter of whether the Chiefs can shut down Hurts running lanes to escape or if Hurts can cash in his chances, which will absolutely be there. The athletic podcast has been really hammering home that the eagles offense is excellent against man-blitz but 32(31st?) against zone-blitz. Which makes sense with a dual threat like Hurts. Hopefully Spags can look at a spreadsheet and realize zone blitzes are good against the eagles and does a bunch of zone blitzes.

Ornery and Hornery posted:Yeah idgi why people aren’t hype on this I think the playoffs this year has a lot to do with it. Last year had a ton of great games, some of them all time classics, with the Divisional round being insane (Bengals-Titans was close, San Francisco hilariously beating Green Bay, the crazy Rams-Bucs game, all capped off by :13 Seconds in Kansas City) leading to a pair of very good and entertaining Conference championship games before the Super Bowl. All of that created a ton of buzz and excitement which carried over in the weeks leading to the Super Bowl, which had cool stories behind the Bengals and Stafford with the Rams that were very easy for basically everyone to get interested in. The Divisional round this year wasn't nearly as exciting, featuring two blow outs, a gimpy Mahomes getting by Jacksonville, and a close but defensive slugfest in the 49ers-Cowboys game. The NFC Championship game was over by the second quarter once it was clear Purdy was hurt, Josh Johnson was barely able to run the offense, and all the Eagles had to do was just not gently caress up. The AFC Championship game was close, but also had a ton of penalties and wasn't nearly as good as any of the previous three Bengals-Chiefs games that had been played in just over a calendar year. Both franchises having won the Super Bowl in very recent memory (Even though for the Eagles they've turned over almost the entire roster and the coaching staff is different) also lowers the stakes a good bit for people outside the respective fanbases or their rivals.

Imagine going back to 2016 after the Eagles drafted Wentz and telling a Philly fan that they would win a Super Bowl and be in a second in less then 8 years. "Oh wow, we really found our franchise QB and Coach!" About that...

for the sort of person who enjoys the nfl narratively but doesn't particularly care about a football play, neither team is an obvious big bad or hero. i tried to provide these people with a story last week but it did not take. the story was about one of these franchises being able to ascend into the elite franchises forever, and the other being shunned away. i thought it was going to work and i had put a lot of work into the tale

The NFL was too busy scripting the games to make the scripts interesting this year. No offense to either Super Bowl team but things would be more interesting if you had the Bengals (can Burrow and company win the big one this time?) or 49ers (can Shanny finally win a Super Bowl with the unlikeliest of QB stories?) The Eagles haven't really gotten the hype that most other NFC teams have gotten (kinda unfairly considering how all-around stacked and talented that team is), while Mahomes and Reid already have a ring so who cares if they get a second one. Honestly it's pretty weird there's not that much hype around the Eagles since it's not the same team that won the Super Bowl a few years ago, but also nobody gives as much a poo poo about Hurts (despite being a solid MVP candidate) compared to the AFC elite or the garbage in the NFC (seriously, the best-looking QB besides Hurts this year is, what, Kirk Cousins? Geno Smith? Brock Purdy?). It's a weird situation all around. If I believed the NFL was scripted I'd say this would be the perfect justification to get Mahomes a second ring and Reid a win over his old team, but luckily the NFL is too incompetent to script these games so the Eagles will probably just strangle the life out of the Chiefs and win a fine-if-anticlimatic Super Bowl. And hey, who cares how you win if you get the win.

I feel like Hurts doesn't get the same hype of his contemporaries because there's nothing particularly flashy about his game. I'm trying to think of a less highlight-reel-worthy (but very good) running QB from the past 15 years and drawing a blank. He doesn't make the incredible throws of a Mahomes and doesn't have the brilliant and elusive running talent of a Jackson. Dude just gets poo poo done with competent passing and the ability to run through you. He's also got a deeply chill and understated personality, so even his interviews are just kind of ... fine. He says all the right things and the team absolutely benefits from his leadership, he's just not gonna give you a good soundbite.

Hurts runs a lot more often than Culpepper ever did, but they both had similar Y/A on their rushes.

I think so many pro writers and anlysts were wrong about Hurts (especially if you look at the offseason stuff and see people predicting that Minshew would take over after 4-6 games) that instead of admitting they were wrong they just ignore him. So he's not really getting a ton of great press, and those people who are writing about the Eagles are just trying to give AJ Brown all the credit when you still need a QB who can get the ball near him.

Hurts turning out good is a surprise to me and I've watched him since college. I'm happy for him and he does seem legitimately good. I like the guy, just saying I'm surprised too. It's not a Josh Allen turnaround or anything, but it's 'well hell, I didn't see this coming.'

This hadn't occurred to me until you brought it up, but there's probably a lot of truth to this. Even if Hurts has a great game tomorrow, I can see the media downplaying it in favor of other players
