People say that but are people tuning in to see backup QBs on Sundays? That’s why they’re going out of their way to protect QBs. My major issue is the disparity in way different QBs are officiated. You can do anything you want to running QBs. They don’t even have the ball after handing it out and the defense is allowed to blast them. You can finish at their heads when they slide. But if you’re a big old immobile lumberer like Brady if you get tackled too hard it’s a flag. I don’t have an issue with the desire to protect QBs because that’s what the public wants to see. Just be consistent in terms of how they’re officiated.
Haha! Saints are garbage but the man still found some teams he could turn his nose up at.
Literally the only reason I watch games other than the Browns is because of fantasy football, literally the only reason. I could watch any postseason baseball game, college football or NBA game. The NFL is trash and I would feel the same way if my team was good. It seems like nothing is set in stone as far as rules.
Offense looked great this weekend. 3 of the next 4 at home. Michael Thomas back this weekend. They will be fine.
I disagree. Love the NFL. Could be a difference in the franchises we follow. The Eagles are a way of life here. A fall greeting in a convenience store holding a door for a stranger will regularly end with a Go Birds like it’s a good morning. It also helps that the Eagles have been one of the best run organizations in the league since 2000. The NFL is top of the heap in my eyes.
You’re talking about the Seahawks that have been bleeding points against all year right? Meh. And that pick may not be top 4 but it will be top half of the first round easy. This isn’t the NBA where 7-8 draft spots is a huge difference in value. Love that the Eagles have that pick in their back pocket to hedge on the QB and now it looks like they already have their QB. They can use those two picks and two in round 2 to get OT depth, edge rush, CB and S. The rich get richer. Great to be an Eagles fan these days.
Yup, turns out the Dolphins handled it perfectly and we've opened up Pandora's box as a result. You're going to see a lot of issues moving forward.
What exactly happened to Tua? Turns out that Tua actually didn't have a concussion on Sunday and the Dolphins followed the protocols exactly the way they were constructed. This isn't going to help, because if there's any sign that a player might have a concussion, this would lead to them being placed in concussion protocol. This happened to Teddy Bridgewater who didn't even stumble after he was hit on Sunday. Teams could be left short-handed at certain positions that can lead to players having to play through certain types of injuries because of depth issues.
