Ryan Succop was Mr. Irrelevant in the 2009 Draft and is still playing. Also won a Super Bowl with the Bucs against the team that drafted him so I’m going to say not yet. If Purdy wins the starting job? Yeah, I think he should definitely be considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 And when a team invests as heavily in their DL as the eagles do, they’re going to hit the QB and get sacks, and while nobody wants to see anyone get injured (yeah… I know), that’s something that happens when one team’s DL leads the league in sacks and QB hits. I don’t think it’s as much of “well the qb got hurt so we were screwed” as it is “the 49ers OL couldn’t stop the Eagles DL” - and line play on both sides decided the game, and the eagles easily won both sides of it (just look at how many times Bosa was pancaked 1v1 by both the LT and RT).

DCarp1231 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Didn’t the AAF always have a guy in-stadium with a monitor and Xbox controller reviewing calls on the field?

When you’re the unchallenged king for 40-50 years, you tend not to innovate. The harsh reality is that the NFL won’t change unless it senses that there is an existential reason to.

I said it earlier but that Eagles defense is no joke. 70 sacks during the regular season (15 more than the next team, who happen to be the Chiefs). 4 players on defense with 10 or more sacks.

DoctorWhom Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Yeah I'm surprised that more people aren't talking about that Eagles defense. That's why I don't the Super Bowl isd going to be that close. With Mahomes still hurt, he won't be able to do his usual BS. If the Bengals were able to get pressure like they did in the 2nd half, Mahomes will be in for a tough night. As for the 49ers, they did do a good job stopping the Eagles, most of the damage came from those penalties which led to Eagles scoring. So they really beat themselves.

Red Comet Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I think that I have no effing clue what’s going to happen until kickoff. A lot can change in two weeks. Someone could get injured, injuries can heal. Maybe Duh Iggles will wipe the floor? Maybe the opposite happens? All I know is that ultimately I know nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Eagles defense excels against bad and average offenses (or offenses with bad/average QB's). However, they've struggled mightily against explosive offenses with capable quarterbacks at the helm, to the affect that they're one of the worst defenses in the league in those games. They've only played 4 good offenses with top 10-15 QB's this season and they gave up 35, 21, 33 and 40 points against those teams. Only one of those was a loss which just shows how good their offense has been but to think they're going to shut down Mahomes and the #1 offense in the league when they've shown they cannot stop good offenses with good quarterbacks isn't accurate. Eagles have been historically lucky with the season schedule and who they got to face in the playoffs; that's not to take away from how good they've been because they still have an excellent team that was capable of taking advantage of their easy schedule and now they only have to beat one great team to win the title (which they're fully capable of). I expect this game to be relatively high scoring, possibly with both teams scoring 30+. It should be a good game. 4 Quote Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect this game to be relatively high scoring, possibly with both teams scoring 30+. It should be a good game. you’re going to need facts to back up nearly everything you said here. For one, regarding their schedule, the eagles are tied for most wins against winning teams in a season in nfl history. They didn’t play the 70s Steelers every week, but the notion that their schedule was “easy” is kinda silly. They got the AFC south, but so did the rest of the NFC East. Also I’m not sure which of their defensive rankings support the notion that they “struggled mightily” against anyone, with the only exception being the second Dallas game which was a first time DB who will never see the field again. Statistically and rankings wise, their defense is among the best ever (again, just based on metrics - I personally wouldn’t consider them among the best ever, but it’s hard to argue with 70 sacks from your front 4 without even blitzing.) 3 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I think we spent all year waiting for the Bills and Chiefs to dominate and for the Eagles to crash back to earth. The Bills were doing okay until they lost their best defensive player and watched another die on the field, the Chiefs backdoored into the 1 seed, and the Eagles definitely didn't crash back to earth but instead stomped everyone's face in. If past is prologue, I think the Eagles have another surprise Super Bowl win, but this time we look back at them as being a historically dominant club no one was ready for. 1 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be a good game. Eagles haven’t faced an offense with the potency of the Chiefs this year either. And as to who the teams that they beat with a winning record? @Detroit vs Minnesota vs Jacksonville vs Dallas vs Pittsburgh @Giants vs Giants vs Giants (Divisional Round) vs 49ers (NFC Championship) Not exactly murderer’s row and the only winning teams they beat away from Philly are the Lions and Giants. The only teams that come close to the Chiefs offense are Dallas and the 49ers and we know about how Dallas does in big games plus the 49ers were down to some 4th string journeyman. This will undoubtedly be the biggest test of the year for the Chiefs offense but also the Eagles defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWhom Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Chiefs also have one of the worst secondaries in the NFL. More than likely they may be relying on a load of rookies to cover guys like AJ Brown & Dallas Goedert . You can make the excuse about them playing a 4th string backup, but that has nothing to do with the fact that they dropped 31 points on the League's #1 defense. I just don't see how KC can keep up when the Eagles are better in pretty much every category. Maybe they keep it close at first, but I fully expect the Eagles to pull away at some point in the game.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 On the other hand, Mahomes doesn't lose. Feels like either a Eagles blowout or a close Chiefs win. 1 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles really are the best the NFC has and they may well be the best team in the NFL. The Chiefs secondary is a weakness but that’s due to inexperience more than a lack of talent. Give it a few years and it’ll be a strength. The Eagles receivers will definitely feast, though, I will not deny that. The Chiefs have also had issues containing mobile QBs in the past and I also expect Hurts to have a huge day on the the ground and in the air. Eagles win? He’s the MVP, no doubt about it. But here’s what I heard about the Eagles defense as amazing as it is: Their linebacking corps is a soft spot. And Travis Kelce is not only Mahomes’s most reliable target, he also excels in the medium range passing game around where linebackers tend to cover. I expect Kelce to have the game of his career. The Chiefs offense is also very focused on getting yards after the catch over yards down the field. So, you’ll see a lot of screens in order to try to neutralize the Eagles pass rush. The Chiefs are going to keep it close and I believe that they will win, but it is going to be a hell of a fight to do so.
