Last night's Packers v 49ers OMG.

Yipsy

The you in the post was a general you not you.

Will the Eagles have Jalen Hurts or Kenny Pickett under center on Sunday? Should have some greater clarity later today.

Philadelphia Inquirer:

Yipsy As an old horse trainer in another life, I will tell you that Hurts is 100% playing this week.
Bank on it!!
And if injured during the game, he will still be playing. Unless limbs come up missing/not intact.

I realized the you in the you post was not meant by you to refer to me as the you you, but rather the general you out there. 👍

sdandrea1 being told my opinion is "wrong"

EVERYONE is always wrong. All aspects, every game discussed.
In case you haven't noticed. 🤔

Agreed. Rumored MCL injury. The cold won't help.

How limited will he be? Taking the 40 yard TD threat out of his arsenal makes the Eagles O more manageable.

Rams sacked him 7 times including that unforgivable safety. Los Angeles only sacked him once on the covered turf in LA during their first meeting. HIs mobility is decreased and that's trouble for a guy who relies on his legs.

Washington only got to him twice the last time they played in Philly. Need it closer to the Rams 7 this time.

Looks like the snow won't be a factor and the temp increases from Saturday to Sunday with an 11 degree projected warm up in Philly. Wind looks manageable.

“The New England Patriots completed filling out the coordinator level of their coaching staff with the hire of defensive coordinator Terrell Williams.”

Williams was the Detroit Lions defensive line coach.

Good thing it's a team game.

The Jets hiring Aaron Glenn makes my day.

We just watched your defense give up 45 to a rookie QB but you're an alumnus. Hired.

Don't hold that against Glenn. 16 players out on the defensive side of the ball (and lost another early in the game) will decimate any defense.

Ran across some interesting NFL stats.

https://www.nflpenalties.com/roughing-the-passer-by-qb.php?view=active

Since 2018, Patrick Mahomes has played 131 games and drawn 31 Roughing the Passer flags. Josh Allen has played 122 games and drawn 38 Roughing the Passer flags. Of the tracked 45 active QBs, Mahomes ranks 20th in flags drawn per 100 pass attempts.

https://www.nflpenalties.com/penalty/unnecessary-roughness?year=2024

In 2024 the Chiefs were called for 6 Unnecessary Roughness calls, and only the beneficiary of 2. Only the Seahawks received fewer such whistles in their favor with 1. The Ravens also had two.

I've seen the Mahomes stats. It's quality not quantity. I wish those stats were in better context. Critical and game on the line moments where do they stand?

Nobody cares about the roughing the passer penalty in a 35-10 blowout. Only care when the game is over if it's not called and it's called. Mahomes seems to do very well in those scenarios.

Would like to see it just focused on playoff games/big games.

If you say you had po ta toes for dinner last night, no one notices.
If you say you had po tah toes for dinner last night.....everyone says WTF is going on here?

Click bait....media money.

Let's discuss the fact that Mahomes is a very mobile QB(not a running QB as others are), which leads to a lot more hits. Even though out of the pocket, he's still got State Farm on his side.🤣😂

Jalen Hurts is never "roughed" maybe because he can squat 700 pounds? Curious
Called for him 6 out of 77 games. Hmm... What's that say? Do Not Play the Zebra's!

He probably played soccer at some point.....

PA-PLAYA
Is that to be assessed before or after the initial kickoff? LOL

Nope. Not that.
He's a running QB. Mahomes is not.

You can see it as differently as you want, but this time you will be wrong. And I'll not argue about that. You will be.😄
