Don't worry - Hurts probably won't play the second half. Half the names I'm hearing tonight are ones I'm hearing for the first time. Even the radio guys have to look up info on some of these jabronis. Theres a few regulars in there, but not many. Hurts is basically doing the offense all by himself since none of the receivers, backs, and 3/5 of the OL have any experience. WFT is simply not good - but they're 6-9, so we already knew that.

Dynasty Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I'm glad Miami missed the playoffs; It just would've been an extra L to the season. Expectations have already been passed, though they need better offensive weapons. It's also weird seeing the WFT's logo on the NBC scorebug.

tBBP Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 4 hours ago, See Red said: I'd guess the pressure to succeed at Florida and Ohio State is considerably greater than the pressure to coach the Jacksonville Jaguars. I was referring to Meyer's health problems; that was the reason he ultimately stepped away from coaching both times, IIRC. (I should've been more clear about that.) Work-related stress and pressure don't work too well with the type of issues he was having. 2 hours ago, habsfan1 said: Almost like Cody Parkey. Only this time, it went through where it should, so the kick was good. That was close. And the fact that they had to win the division on a doink was about one of the Statitest results that could've happened. I don't know, maybe they'll pull a rabbit's foot and actually make a run of it...but that defense, though...hoo boy, suspect as all get-out. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is that a team just put it’s seldom-used 3rd-string QB into a close game with a playoff spot on the line for two other teams - and said QB promptly turned the ball over TWICE. Do they make that move if it doesn’t benefit them to lose? Doubtful. The draft rules influenced the NFC East championship. I’m not sure how there’s any other reasonable way to look at it.

Ridleylash Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The NFC East winner of this season...is the Team with No Name. How appropriate for the Tank Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinFromBoston Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 As insanely stupid as it is that 7-9 Washington Team is going to host an 11-5 Bucs team in the playoffs, I'm kind of happy for Ron & Kirk. They both fought through ALOT (not just on the field) to get to where they are. No one really deserved to win that division, but since 1 team had to I'm glad it was them. Also yeah, Lmao.

AustinFromBoston Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 IDK how anyone can deny that Philly wasn't purposely tanking that game, though. Hurts was doing pretty well, and then they benched him for Sudfeld and Washington pulled away while the Eagles offense completely shut off.

They always would, the responsibility to advertisers, broadcast partners, and the public was too much not to power through. Whether they should have played and completed the full schedule in the allotted time is up for debate, but they were always going to. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumptious Ham Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I don't get the fear of Urban leaving. I would take 6 years and 2 championships. I'd take 7 years and a championship. Hell, I'd take 3 years and a championship. If he leaves the Jags while they are winning, they will get the pick of the litter when it comes to coaching choices. If he leaves because things are bad, he was probably going to get fired, anyway. He is arguably the strongest coaching candidate out there. This would be a home run hire for a franchise like Jacksonville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the coach was fired 2 years before and he'd already been punished, I don't think he had to worry about a Paterno moment. He'd already been dragged for it. In the NFL he won't have to deal with boosters and administration, just the press and fans who have no control over his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 So I was right (as usual) and the draft system encouraged a team to tank and potentially alter the playoff landscape. Saying otherwise is basically saying that 2 + 2 = 5. It's 4, and we all know that. It was no worse than 50/50 that they would have beaten WFT even with the players they had out there to start the game, regardless of whether they were backups or not. Besides Collingsworth roasting them on national TV, Seth Joyner (one of the guys on the post-game show and my favorite football player from when I was a kid) went berserk on the team, and basically said he was embarrassed to work for them and he didn't sign on to commentate on illegitimate games. Pretty sure he's fired. From what I've gathered from the local media, this decision was outlined by GM Howie Roseman, and Doug Pederson had very little to do with it. He was basically told that they're protecting a certain list of players, and to get Jalen Hurts out of there if he started to get hit or if it was clear he was going to win the game.
