Game Thread: NFC Wild Card-Philadelphia Eagles vs. Chicago Bears

[The Oldtimer]

Close is only good playing horseshoes.

Or hand grenades and dancing.

 

[Taddy Mason]

They didn't want to spring for big $$$ during a rebuilding year.

Good news is he and Stephkowski are available this Offseason. $$$

guess it was tipped?

As a fellow Eagles fan, I will never disrespect you or your opinion. You may think Wentz is better, that's your right, but he has far from proven it as yet. His life so far as an Eagle has been "almosts". Almost won MVP, almost made it through season 1 without a season ending injury and almost made it out of season 2 without a season ending injury. That about wraps it up so far. I would never say he won't be great some day, but that day isn't today. Wentz may be the better QB, but Foles is the better Eagle.

That should be season 2 and 3, i believe.

I'm as pissed as you, but I'm not gonna make excuses. They won it, they earned it.

Ok,Ive calmed down just a tad to finally get back to this...…..

So tell me,how did Philly want this game more than we did...…..?

Did we not stop their 2 pt conversion to be down by 1...……?......They didn't get in,that was all us.

Did Phillys st stop Cohen from getting a huge chunk of yardage on the ensuing ko…..?......No that was all us...….

Could Phillys def stop Trubisky from getting down close enough for a fg,not once but twice...……..?.....No,that was all us...………

Was it Phillys def that blocked that fg………..?...…...no that was all on Parkey for that miss...…..

The Eagles didn't have any answer....Just a piss poor kicker and a fg post stood in our way of victory...…….

And the to called from Pedersen to ice the k......…?......….ks are used to that...….Theres no excuse for him missing...….

Those are not excuses,those are facts...……..

So what do the eagles do with Foles if:

A. the season ends next week?

B. He goes on another SB run and even wins another?

Is he the starter next year and they trade Wentz or is he traded? They'll be a great market for both with this draft not projected to have a lot of quality QBs.

Actually the Bears got a huge break. The refs don’t blow the whistle the Eagles have the fumble recovery and take 3 points from the Bears

Except that nobody in any jersey was going after that ball, so the Bears could just as easily have recovered if the whistle hadn't have blown. You're making up scenarios again.

That may be why they called it the way they did.

Alright, @richig07, get in here. Its time

 

[Hank Kingsley]

What about the Seahawks, are they pathetic too?

I sincerely hope so, and include Baltimore and Houston.

If you look at their relative performances against the teams that beat them.....

Bears lost on a kick.

They weren't kicked around like the other 3 losers of the weekend.

Bro you got Foled

 

[Schmoopy1000]

No. He is a lot better then a guy who was a MVP candidate? He’s making an argument as being a very good QB and closed the gap in my mind but he isn’t a lot better then a MVP candidate that was rated the 3rd best player in the league by his peers

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Or it could come down to Dallas' defense against the Ram's defense?

After a fashion.

I think Elliott will get his yards.

Gurley may find it more difficult.

The other weapons and their implementation will decide the game.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Mitch is a god. It's just that Nick Foles is a Foles. That's the new word to describe something higher than a god.

Amazing just a week ago Nick was a journeyman. Fickle Philthy fans now call him a diety or a Foles
Guess this winning stuff is still new to them?

Hey I have still have a shoe like that from way back in the day when I was the high school kicker when I kicked straight on.

 

[Robotech]

Impossible to see that live. Wow, that's huge. I guess people bashing Parkey owe him an apology.

 

[Taddy Mason]

Is he the starter next year and they trade Wentz or is he traded? They'll be a great market for both with this draft not projected to have a lot of quality QBs.

do we have to do this every week?

it's a mutual option. why would Nick opt in to a 1 year $20 mil deal? He's going to get a starting job

Is that AVI a recent photo OT?

That's his HS graduation pick. HS was the 50 toughest years of his life.

 

[flclfanman]

Maybe, it was hard to see in real time. Usually a tipped pass create a change in trajectory with the kick. It happened so fast I couldn't see it definitiely.
