Go Eagles!

 

[Iggloo]

Niners have just had so many injuries this year it’s been hard for them to be a strong team. It does feel like there’s a Super Bowl loss hangover for many teams - look at how the Eagles collapsed last year down the stretch, and the Niners had a similar season in the Covid year after losing the Super Bowl in 2019.

They're definitely done now for this season.

It seemed like they were running on fumes heading into the season, lots of issues simmering behind the scenes with players still recovering from injuries, contract situations, egos, etc.

They had a window to win with a cheap rookie QB and that may be closing. Meanwhile McCaffrey may be breaking down which also raises issues about their offense next year.

Not sure if many of you picked up on this last Thursday during the Cowboys vs Giants game....

Dallas VP of Communications/PR Ted Carper has a lot to be thankful for this Holiday season. He avoided a cancer battle due to tests he took with the help of Dak's foundation. He had surgery to remove 2 cancerous tumors found in his throat. It was stage 2, relatively early.

It's pretty much common knowledge but some may not know.....Dak's mom passed away from cancer in 2013 and Dak started a foundation focusing primarily on colon cancer, and to help those with mental health issues and suicide prevention.

Hate on Dak all you want if you choose to for whatever deficiencies he may have on the football field but Dak Prescott the man? He is far more impressive than the player. And his mom is surely smiling down on him from Heaven.

Something to consider this Holiday season.

Way the hell too many injuries and some season ending and others haven’t even been on the field hardly at all. Sucks

yeah, I get you... A big part of our losing streak mid season was all the injuries we had as well... Against Detroit, our entire DL/OLB's were backups due to the starters being out... Hard to watch your team when you know they're overmatched due to injuries...

He launched on a sliding QB an slammed his head into the ground. I say suspend him for at least two games. Either play clean or get out of there.

That was one of the uglier plays I've seen in a while. Totally outta line.

I defend the man.
always have and always will.

it was with intent.
I firmly believe this.

Moose Johnston was calling the game and has the best perspective.

Purdy had a chance a prove he is worth that money he is about to command and the only winning team San Fran has beaten this year is Seattle.

I agree, and it wasn't the first time. Just last week he full speed with a launch hit Pollard when Pollard was about 2 yards out of bounds and then when they played the Bears he took a swing at Roshon Johnson on the sidelines. He has some issues and needs to be suspended for a game. It's actually kind of sad that Ryans said he was going to speak with him about this, and believes that's not what he's about. I call BS, that's totally what he's about and he needs to be sent a very clear message.

At the end of this article is where they show the dirty crap Al-Shaair pulled this season....and I totally agree, he's a loser

Winners and Losers of NFL Week 13

Josh Allen made NFL quarterbacking history as he built his MVP résumé. Plus: The red flags are flying for Baltimore’s Justin Tucker, Russell Wilson turned in a vintage performance while other old QBs struggled, and a Texans linebacker crossed the line. These are the winners and losers of Week 13.

Oh damn didn't realize that same Titans player has had issues before. That's not good. The league doesn't need any head-hunters. What he did was dangerous.

Agreed... I've never been sold on him as a long term, franchise QB... He hasn't done anything to doubt my perspective of him... Got step up if you want to get paid...

Shanahan play calling has been shit too. I’m not putting that all on Purdy. Kittle arguably one of best all around TE in the game and 1 reception and 2 targets, that’s a problem right there.

Remember him choking Brady? The guy is a thug and truly wants to hurt people.

In the random NFL talk thread he posted an apology letter...you know...sorry, but not sorry cuz I'm a victim...total POS

 

[DJ Fieri]

Appreciate it man. And I’m not happy with Cousins at all right now. I think Penix should start soon.

A lot of their struggles are on Morris IMO. Looks like they running the Pistol offense? KC has never ran that offense. He has always been a classic dropback passer in a west coast style offense when he has had success....I realize the INT's are on KC but it's clear he isn't comfortable running that offense. He is used to a lot of play action plays....

You have to put your QB in a position to succeed....

No, geez, morons, can’t you guys see that it was the right way to end the game?

Eberflus: Final seconds handled 'the right way'

Bears coach Matt Eberflus said he didn't call Chicago's last timeout in the final seconds of Thursday's game because he was conserving it to set up a field goal attempt.

www.espn.com

The next day he answered it the correct way: "Our decision at that point was to be on the ball, hold our timeout and get the play off at 15 to 10 seconds, in that range, throw it into field goal range there and then call a timeout and then kick the game[-tying field goal] on fourth down," Eberflus said. "The operation wasn't fast enough, and we didn't do a good job of executing there in that moment."

He should have also said that since they did not get things run quicker, he should have called timeout but didn’t. I think taking responsibility instead of saying it was the right way wouldn’t have saved his job but would have been better.

Of course, had he called timeout, maybe this would have happened:
