Honestly it’s wild speculation but in the realm of “the whole city descended on one event” outcomes- that two groups like that ran into each other and things went sideways is relatively common. It feels like it should be unifying but there’s often folks that otherwise wouldn’t/shouldn’t see each other that suddenly are in the same space unexpectedly

arguments can go either way and im not sure it’s easy to parse out the gap between 15 and 25 (just throwing two ballpark numbers) definitively due to things like scheme, supporting talent, playing conditions, longevity etc that said, I’ll comfortably put Brees squarely in that second plateau behind the Mount Rushmore type guys. he didn’t get multiple rings but by god I don’t think I’ve seen a guy have worse playoff luck and I’m a bills fan (Minnesota miracle, rams no call, etc…) I don’t think you can put Matt Ryan in the same tier, and think he was better than Mcnabb, and McNair for instance. Eli has such a challenging legacy. If you are wrestling with Brees vs favre vs Rodgers I think you are squarely in that “is there a real difference between 10 vs 15 vs 20 type of debate though (with the disclaimer that I haven’t put pen to paper on names)

people across all neighborhoods, demographics and disagreeing camps coming together in a crowd. $5 says it’s not a random fight but two guys with ugly history and not enough sense to skip acting on it in a crowd.

One goes by mongo and the other is Jalen Carter so I’m not sure the academic aspirations are high with The pair

well, also when someone brings it up in response to him threatening to murder their family. carters still the worst of the two if both walked away from “I’ll murder your family” vs “oh your trying to add to your total” and ignoring that Carter continued to pursue it after the game. super talented player but the type the eagles will always have to worry about when they wake up and check their text messages or the news.

Neither looks great in this but to pursue it post game with continued comments about the man’s family is worse

he also played the guy after so whether or not he loved it he needs to downplay the optics of it

touche- you did say made to, and I read too fast

because we beat the chiefs in the Super Bowl but not in the divisional round?

sometimes yes, sometimes no. if Josh started struggling to get it 30 yards downfield I’d worry he had something physical and not just a mental issue. how bass was handled down the stretch seemed more akin to that than say Josh making bad reads

kickers often come back around. I’m still curious if there’s more to the story here. It still doesn’t add up fully in my opinion.

one that played very well before signing it nonetheless

I would say that 80% is completely made up. also to your argument, I’d say it varies widely based on how large of an advantage.

that’s normal in todays nfl. Normally you pay a couple cornerstones and then churn like crazy. Being locked into a bunch of good but not great vets is worst case scenario. Heck the pats were doing it a decade ago.

wouldn’t be shocked if he gets tied to purdy and it’s a second stop like Reid where he gets his guy. it’s going to be rough when the niners pay purdy but how do you cut the cord unless you stumble into someome like the pats did Brady

what about exchanging fgs? Or no scores?

honest question - have we ever seen the chiefs go for two there? I know it’s a niche situation they might not have faced but curious if we’ve seen it I understand. But many are acting like it’s without question anyway which would negate a lot

then the 9ers know they must go for it and not kick if the TD is inevitable

I think you are allowing yourself to be a prisoner of last nights moment. Nothing says either team scores a TD. once across the 50 the chiefs very well could end with 3 last night and ignoring last night, there’s a chance neither team scores on their first drive. im not arguing it’s a slam dunk choice but maintain most are completely discounting the possible upsides.

Drive 3 is sudden death though and that’s not a minor thing

Andy Reid going to accidentally walk into a door in the locker room and then with black eye target Kelce like 10 times from here

there’s also the reality that both a spread and condensed can be correct approaches for the same personnel, in the same era, etc…. Sometimes it’s just two different ways that are both good if you have solid players and good play calling

kind of? Substantially.

you put a te in the field to be physical

the percentage of passes that kamara caught flat footed and at the line of scrimmage as a 3rd option was maddening. he wasn’t getting wheels and whips and crafty screens on a lot of those targets. It was Chip block, slip through the line, wait for the check down and get clobbered by the mlb way too many times. im really hoping the two had some of those late night “if I were in charge” ***** talking sessions that revealed curry to be more exciting than Carmichael allowed
