kidson2004 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) As a Eagles fan (yeah and also a Browns fan as well) if I was the FO, I would do everything in my power to keep Foles. The offense is totally different with him under center than Wentz. Wentz likes to lock onto 1 receiver and forgets the rest, Foles spreads the ball around and keeps the defense honest and have to defend everything. If they let him go, it’ll be a big mistake.

TheLakota Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 It's really a great problem to have: Philly has arguably the best backup QB in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say no to that for obvious reasons. Would like the Rams to win the NFC. Brady doesn't like playing at Arrowhead. A friend of mine was at the game and he said it was crazy even for Arrowhead. Bet it'll only be crazier Sunday. Took a while for the Saints to wake up, but they did, so 4/4 this weekend. Also, am I the only one who felt bad for Philip Rivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, now that this is out of my system, all the kudos in the world to the Saints. But Sean Payton would never have fooled me with that early fake punt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidmarkgn Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Alright Chiefs fans, 1st ever(?) championship game in your stadium, and against the Pats!! You guys better bring it on Sunday. Anything other than a new noise record being set is going to be considered a failure on your part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone who knows football would argue against that. He is the most recent Super Bowl MVP. So we are left with: New England Patriots @ Kansas City Chiefs I am going for KC here. Huge Tom Brady fan but would love to see a AFC team other than the Patriots in the SB. Coincidentally I believe whomever wins this game wins the SB. Los Angeles Rams @ New Orleans Saints Both teams didn't look particularly sharp this past weekend. I would give the edge to the Rams based on the Saint's head-to-head win during the regular season. It was a closely fought battle that the Saints pulled out where Coach McVay made some bad calls that backfired. The Rams have something to prove here.

I also saw it comming, being #7 Taysom Hill the personal protector on punts and in a 4th and 1, some trick was comming up involving him. Everytime he is on the field you can expect anything to happen he's like a Madden created player, he can do it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassylvania Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 3-1 this week. They took a roundabout way to get there, but my SB picks are still alive, so I'm going with Brees and Brady. As for Foles, I say ship him to the Raiders so he can terrorize the AFC for a while. Dude's too good to be a backup (although he didn't exactly do himself any favors this week).

I'm still on the fence with Foles, he's been damn good over the past couple of seasons but he was also a backup for a reason. I guess the Jags or Denver could consider going after him, I mean, he couldn't be any worse right? Seems like if the Raiders were going to trade Carr this would have been the season to do it.

Splathew Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 This whole NE trying to act like underdogs thing is cute. They have been owning the NFL for like 15 years and could very well win another SB this year. I don't want to hear it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason they're being regarded as underdogs -- and rightly so, mind you -- is their losing record while playing on the road this year. When you're going up against KC it's warranted, trust me. Besides, you should be happy people consider you frontrunners. Bucky's dumb ass has consistently picked against the Saints almost every single week in his quest for an "I told you so" moment.

No. I like Fournette, but he's thuggish and has been so since his LSU days. There's a reason the Jags voided his contract guarantees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Earl leaves, I won't be upset but I also won't be happy. When Bennett left, I danced a freakin' jig. Dude became an absolute cancer in the locker room and a dirty player on the field (I remember him diving at an O-lineman's knees during a kneeldown play towards the end of the season last year too). There's some other off the field incidents that have come up as well but I'll leave those alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An awful lot of their players have issues of one sort or another. If you're going to insist that all your team's players are choir boys with pristine records, you're probably not going to have a very talented team and you're probably not going to win very many games. That doesn't mean you want to assemble those Cincinnati teams of a decade or two ago whose combined rap sheets were longer than my arm, or try to imitate the NBA's Portland "Jail Blazers" crew from a similar time frame (to pull a reference from another sport), but Leonard Fournette hasn't gone so far as to disqualify him from playing for my team at the right price. Not yet, anyhow. But he's only been in the League for two years, so there's plenty of time for him to change my mind on that aspect of things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
