The Eagles played at Arizona in September or w/e and didn't have a problem with the field then. Did the cheap rear end Bidwells install an entirely new field for the SB?

The 2011 giant defense was abysmal and bottom 6-7 in almost every stat that mattered

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2011/opp.htm

It's right up there with the frequently cited "Eli always relied on a strong running game and play action"

https://www.nfl.com/stats/team-stats/offense/rushing/2011/reg/all

The 2011 giants' team 3.5 ypc was dead last in the entire league, worse than the colt Mccoy/Peyton hillis/Montario Hardesty Browns, so you know they really fuckin sucked

Couple that with an over the hill offensive line that was just as bad at pass blocking as they were run blocking and it took a herculean effort from Eli to drag those bums to the playoffs where their defense finally decided to start trying for the first time all year. That team was really, really bad at most positions but prime Eli reached the point where he could carry a team singlehandedly for a few seasons.

And Eli at SF in the 2011 NFCCG where he got absolutely obliterated behind a gutless OL facing the best defense in the league in the rain yet never shied away from a single hit is still one of the better QB performances I've seen.

The Niners were very easily the best team in the league that year and if the QBs were swapped they would have strolled to a title, probably two or three

Eli had a lot of believers after that season and rightfully so, however there were and still (obviously) are quite a few Sean Salisbury-tier takes that he got carried to that title

Was 2011 the year the Niners blew the NFCCG because Ted Gin Jr was hurt and the replacement returner sucked balls

49ers still upset they lost that game like they were destined to go to the Super Bowl or something

But Week 1 should theoretically be when your team is the healthiest, not December when Bosa pulled his groin again

Hurts did take a pretty massive jump this year. He may not have any arm talent but he's definitely extremely smart at running his offense. It was infuriating watching him make like zero mistakes last year.

Just not good anymore. He was statistically one of the worst punters last season and struggled to make this year's roster. Can't get much worse really

edit: my bigger concern is Siposs was Elliott's holder, and that seemed to work well

It cannot be that hard to find a good holder

They've never been that exciting with Hurts, they're just good.

Every Eagles game starts the same with stout as gently caress defense playing their hearts out until the Eagles can just ram run options down the opposing teams throat for 3 quarters. If it wasn't Hurts and out of shotgun it's classic old school football which is synonymous with snoozeville.

It's a passing league, but I don't think there's anything more demoralizing than being able to do run for 6 ypc on command and the defense cant do poo poo about it

Haha lmao I was curious what AJ Brown did to get that very late taunting call at the end of the 4th and didn't see it here or anywhere so sorry if everyone know this already but I went and looked at the footage and what happened was after the TD catch the Commanders' corner took them both to the ground and while the corner was sitting down disappointed, AJ tossed the football right into the corner's lap as he got up and ran away. Ice fuckin cold disrespect :laugh:

If what AJ did was worth a taunting flag, the DB should have also been flagged for a late hit on the tackle

Having finally caught Eagles highlights


Eagles offense is really really good when not turning the ball over. The Eagles bizarre Kenny Gainwell fetish cost them one but I have no idea what happened on the botched sneak. They ran the play the same as the last 1000 times but fumbled somehow. No good replays because its just a mass of dudes, but would have liked to see that

What causes the Eagles defense to short circuit against the Commies every single time? Howell's two best games have been vs the Eagles and only 1 sack is pathetic. Thank goodness for the blatant misfire pass for the INT, otherwise yowza.

Commies throwing on 4 and 1 at the end second half was insanely dumb. Just fall forward for the yard



I also don't understand how the Cowboys oscillate between amazing and poo poo. Hopefully its the poo poo version next week
