Last night's Packers v 49ers OMG.

DonM

azgreg I wondered if it was .

Gees, after the 1st half, thought Bears might have competition for the QB job. Oh, well🤔.

I thought the Eagles game was never going to end. They gave the ball back to Dallas 3 times in the last few minutes. Eeeeesh!

sdandrea1 Others may well disagree, esp. my son, but the Eagles 2023 team may go down in history as the luckiest NFL team ever. Must be at least 30 Houdinis on that team.
OTOH, I watched the full Germany game this morning. Even thought they lost, the Miami team may well be the best team of the season. Every aspect impressive. Just a made a mistake that was costly.

The best ruby team in the NFL.

They better win the SB before that rule gets changed.

I believe I like your son! Yup, it's just luck...Not that Jalen Hurts played a great game, better than Dak's because the significant stat is a letter "W", not passing yardage. Which QB had the better game?

The Tush Push Scrum! I'm wondering how the league can codify and enforce a new rule preventing what seems to be good solid strategy. When the ref throws a flag, what does he say? "Illegal offensive line penetration"?

The Eagles are clearly the best (IMO) of the NFC East (caveat- there's only 2 competitors in the division). What worried me was their failure to secure a few first downs with a few minutes on the clock.

professor I think your team is good, to be sure. On the other hand they had to go to OT to beat the Commanders, and they lost to the Jets, which means that they are far from invincible.

They could very well win it all, and may end up being favored in every playoff game, but I wouldn't bet the farm.

A safety issue.

The USGA would outlaw it !

A work in progress and right now the bye couldn't come at a better time.

Yeah, that’s the reason they may outlaw it. The Eagles have one of the best centers in Jason Kelsey as well. When Dallas’s tried it Dak got stuffed and had to go to the side.

What I’d try is put two 300 pound linemen in the backfield and they could push the QB more than the smaller guys. Lol

sdandrea1

I realize the reason. But how would you codify it? What exact definable motion and by which players would be determined illegal?

The USGA would outlaw breathing if they thought they could get away with it.

How about one 300 pounder, and sign a dwarf as QB … toss him over the line? Bill Veeck would have done it.

There’s no way the league would be justified in banning the sneak-push for safety reasons. There simply isn’t enough evidence whatsoever to support that claim.

Hasn't that been going on forever? I don't see anything new.

PA-PLAYA agreed. They'd have to ban the QB sneak too or offense pushing backs and receivers forward after point of.contact. ain't happening. I can't wait for it to be over however as it's a dumbass look. I suppose they could ban it on QB sneaks\snaps only. I.e. if the snap does not change hands!

rsvman2

Jets are self-destructive. Wide receivers and tight ends that drop passes and commit back-breaking penalties, an O-line that couldn't keep a chihuahua out of a refrigerator, and an offensive coordinator whose play calling is more predictable than a Hallmark Christmas movie.

Sneakylong

rsvman2

If anyone watched Hard Knocks it was evident the O-Line was a problem. Head coach Saleh called them out. Paraphrasing he said, ‘you can have a hall of fame quarterback and multi million dollar wide receivers, but if you can’t block it means nothing. So although Zack Wilson is still a work in progress, it’s not helping that his line cannot pass block worth a damn.
