With their sudden expansion/explosion into the sports betting world and their now close relationship with Vegas, the many terrible, game deciding penalties are starting to look suspicious.
Some say that the NFL is completely clean and on the up and up. Others swear the whole thing is entirely scripted and the lure of Vegas money is too big a temptation to ignore.
The shield doesn’t seem to mind the grumbling, as the revenue has also massively expanded. Sports betting has been good for the NFL.
SPORTS betting…but the NFL isn’t a sport. It’s entertainment. As a matter of fact, betting on entertainment (like the WWE) is illegal in the US.
So the obvious solution is to confront the NFL and tell them that unless they reclassify themselves as a sport, they cannot participate in sports betting.
That should lead to more oversight/management of the refs to ensure unbiased game officiating.
Just a Sat morning thought. I’m sure there are a million reasons why it won’t work, but I’m still feeling salty today, almost a week later. LFG BUFFALO!!

McD got a team with Tyrod Taylor as the starting QB to the playoffs. Tyrod…Taylor.good exceeding low expectations.
He’s good at exceeding low expectations.
He’s terrible at meeting high expectations.

Same here but you can't fart around when you need a TD. It's not a switch you can flip on and off.
You’re right there. It’s just the feeling I got when we lined up in Shotgun after driving down the field, at will, with the running game.
Their D looked completely gassed. I’d have been happy with a 4th and 1 play to end the game. Win or lose.

My 14 yr old son was adamant that McDermott should not have called the time out to ice their kicker. Having two timeouts with twenty seconds left would have been a lot better.
At first I thought be quiet kid what do you know. After the kick I thought, we could really use that second timeout. 😁
Yeah that would’ve changed the entire circumstances of the situation. Maybe your kid should be the HC 😅👍-

We all would have been criticizing him if he went for it and missed it. I think the lack of going for it at the end of regulation though was inexcusable
My comment started out as sarcastic/sardonic but TBH, if he went for it, didn’t get it, if he said he knew the D wouldn’t hold up and determined this had the best odds of winning, I think we all would’ve nodded our heads, knowing he was probably right.
I know we have 20/20 hindsight here, but as mentioned in previous posts, we’ve had 4 previous examples we could’ve looked at yesterday to make the call.
The only thing our D is consistent with is folding when the game is on the line.
Oh and how many Hail Mary’s do we have to fall victim to!?
8 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said:I knew the Eagles would win or tie when we left 2 minutes on the clock after we took the lead. Because Sean McDermott always goes prevent in these situations. Same in OT.
I was really hoping we’d run the ball down their throats for a few more plays before punching it in. VERY surprised by that call. -

That's it. I feel the officiating crew was intimidated and even a false start against Philly after our 9 or 10 straight was met with "you insulted my mother" outrage. Props to the fans but the refs are a bunch of yella bellies if I do say so myself!
TBH, those refs essentially covered for the Eagles the entire 1st half.
Hard to get pumped as a player when you know you will be held to a standard your opponent will be rewarded for not meeting.

When we kicked the FG in OT I thought that realistically our best possible outcome was a tie. There was of course a small chance that we would get a turnover, but an Iggles FG or TD was far more likely. If they got a FG there wasn’t going to be any time left to score again, so a tie.
Exactly! Once the D took the field, I just KNEW it would end the same way all the others did. I was praying for a tie. (Feel gross even typing that)-

As soon as we kicked the FG, the game was over. Never once has our D made the game ending stop. If it has, I can’t recall when.
We have better chance to win going for it on 4th and 10 on our own end of the field, hoping for a walk off TD drive than we would letting our D ever take the field needing a stop.

What’s the over/under on a penalty on the 1st play?

This is crazy how much the NFL is propping up the Eagles.

I coached against a youth team who used the tush push as one of their primary plays, they'd get 10+ yards sometimes. Aiding the runner was illegal, but the refs refused to call it all year. After they got us with it a few times, I figured out the solution- cut the Center. I had one of my DTs immediately dive into the Center's legs on the snap, the QB & most of the OL would fall over him into a pile. After 2 attempts of no gain and their Center limping back to the huddle, they gave up on it.
I'm sure Kelce doesn't want 300lb guys falling into his knees, so even if it doesn't completely stop them, at worst it'd be a deterrent.
If you watch the play Kelsey literally headbutts the ground when he snaps the ball to make sure no one gets lower than him. -

I don't think they've been stopped with 1 yard to go when using this play so far. Basically undefendable. A HUGE advantage that you're guaranteed a 1st down whenever you face 3rd or 4th and short. But there HAS to be a way.. right? The best way I can think to battle that play would be come up with a whole new different defensive front. You need to get as big and as strong as possible. Leave the normal goal line DLine in. But sub out LB's and put Torrence and Dawkins in. And have them right on the butts of the DT. And when the ball is snapped they just plow into the pile and try and push it back or create a roadblock of sorts. Almost like a reverse tug of war... A push of war? And once you've stalemated the push, you can have guys jumping over the pile, like you see now, and try and drag Hurts down. To stop something innovative like their version of the Qb sneak, you need to be innovative yourself. Could this work? Does anyone have any other ideas?
I like the concept of thinking of something new, but a lot of times, they hurry to the line and don’t allow the D the substitute. -
Ummm did we just see a finger amputation?

He was an English explorer who famously led an expedition to Antarctica in 1914. The weather turned cold earlier than expected and their ship was crushed by pack ice. They had no way to return home or call for help and lived for months on ice floes and, later, a frozen little island with no provisions. Thanks to Shackleton's leadership, the crew survived for roughly a year before Shackleton managed to get them rescued. The details of the story are remarkable. Not only did Shackleton keep his crew alive in near-impossible conditions, he also kept their spirits high and maintained a harmonious atmosphere despite the fact that any reasonable person in that situation would have thought death was their probable fate.
Hmmmm I say let’s kick the tires on this one! -

And hire who? I get it, this loss sucks. We aren't out of it yet. The offense did some good things. Josh and Cook handed the ball over way too many times and we still almost won. The Broncos beat the chiefs not that long ago. No changes til the end of the year. And that's only if there needs to be.
Screw it, hire the crew from Cover 1.
That would be fresh and innovative 😁

If he’s on the sidelines, he’s directly approachable / confrontable by the players.
I think he likes the distance / safety. Like a telephone tough guy. Shrinking violet face to face.
He should be on the field with his guys. If he need aerial views, they can send them to his iPad.

Your Opinion On This Team Will Change Tonight If:
They beat Denver so senselessly that Sean Payton visibly cries on the sideline and Netflix removes that horrible movie about him from their library. Then Kevin James has to come out and publicly apologize for starring in it. And this all needs to occur before half time.
That's probably the only scenario where I see my opinion shifting.

Didn’t that coach’s halftime interview seem like he was throwing the O under the bus.
Like he said, I did my job…
Seemed kind of small…

He’s a more athletic version of Mark Andrews of the Ravens and Mark is arguably the second best TE after Mr Taylor Swift in the league.
