Road To The Superbowl 2024

@J._Bricker, I know I’ve posted for years here but the man is nearly impossible to bring down. Not super fast but crazy strong

Deebo Samuel is the guy you must be thinking of.  That guy is a load to try and tackle.

Debo is a lot quicker, I saw them both play in college. Jennings is your “possession” receiver but he’s as strong as an ox 

 

I also just remembered, Jennings played QB in high school and took some wildcat snaps at UT as well

Deebo is also built more like a full back.  His rare combination of size and speed is what makes him more of a "swiss army knife" on offense.  That one season before they had McCaffrey I think he led the team in rushing and receiving touchdowns.

Looks like the beginning of the end for Filthadephia.

I think the term Debo used was “Wideback” and he and CMC are interchangeable depending upon the formation and play called.

@flyfisher I liked the sense of humor in your above post. I’d say security should just do their job (provide protection for players, team and event personnel from non-game related issues) and not go after a player for making a tackle, but why bother. Nobody should have been tossed, walk off the 15 and play on. By the way Philly scored a TD four or five plays later.

 

That was far from a tackle and was illegal unless we are talking the 50s or 60s.  I don't think he went after anyone, he just happened to be there as he does security and has for years and was separating players on both sides.  I was cool with both getting tossed.  Weird chain of events and for sure, San Fran was better last night but that is fine.  Eagles are in the middle of a tough stretch without the benefit of extra rest and are still in 1st.

Aren't you a Cowboys fan and if so, you obviously have no football knowledge or clout.

Nineteen penalties on Thursday night, most of them questionable if not downright wrong, and all the talk is about a few flags on SNF.

 

Regardless, officiating has become less consistent over the years, with the refs changing the outcome of games.

 

During the offseason, they must overhaul the rules and make officiating consistent or risk losing fans.

[TnRiver46]

I’m sure fanduel and draft kings will be in charge of the referee overhauling……..

The issue is that the general public doesn’t get to see the Thursday night game. Whereas Sunday Night Football is usually the highest rated program every week on television. So naturally more people might discuss that because it has a lot more viewers.

 

I get Amazon prime on my wife’s tablet but it’s so terribly choppy, blurry, and constantly freezing I’ve essentially given up watching it completely now. But I almost always watch SNF because I’m able to on regular TV.

Streaming works better outside of igloos.

It's obvious at this point, SF will be the NFC representative in the SB....... against Baltimore or Miami ???? Maybe

I got @flyfisher in soft feels, lol. It's just football dude. 

[TnRiver46]

Bengals back on track? Maybe somewhere near the track

nah not in my "soft feels' but i imagine that is something you like....if anyone is in their feels it is you with being offended by being called out as a fraud Cowboys fan.  I mean have you ever posted about your own team or is it only when other teams play?

you think one game makes that a definite?  I guess that is why they play the  games.  Most likely the NFC playoffs will come through philly but again, that is why they play the games....Eagles were due for a loss and are in the middle of probably the roughest stretch of games by any team in the league.  Best part is they lost and still woke up in 1st in complete control of their playoff destiny....no other team in the NFC can say that.

Can't help but think that the injury to Trevor Lawrence aka the Football Fabio played a role in that.  Hopefully its not a long term injury.  The Jags are potentially looking at the 1 or 2 seed in the AFC.

While I think it was time for Pedersen to move on from Philly, even though he won a Super Bowl and had some success, I think he is a great coach.  He has a knack for getting players to perform at a high level and be prepared every week.

Battle of backups, burrow is done for the year

Hopefully Lawrence isn't out for the season.  Ankle injuries can be tricky though.  If you try to return too early, you aggrevate it, and then obviously just delays full healing.

it is that time of the year..being healthy is a major factor in any team's success and especially for the upper echelon ones.  That is one reason why San Fran looked very good this past week combined with adding in some key pieces via trade before the deadline.

Titans punter had a rough game. Looked like he broke his leg when Colts defender blocked a punt. Saw it during the game but haven’t followed up on it. Pretty gruesome looking - don’t watch if stuff like that bothers you.

There is no reason as an NFL football fan to think SF is not a front runner to the SB.

Just an unbiased fan of the game.

Baltimore or Miami from the AFC, maybe.

[RipzLipz]

Still too early to tell, IMO. Injuries can derail an entire season. However, I doubt the next SB champions will be coming from the NFC South.
