BBTV Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Eagles linebackers are average at best. Philosophically, they don’t believe in investing in the position. Their defense is based on giving teams whatever they want between the 20s - and that generally means tight ends - then pressing more if they get closer to red zone. I don’t totally get it, but I’m not a defensive coordinator. As a casual fan, the eagles defense looks weak, yet every other play they’re sacking the QB or getting a pick, and finishing #1 or 2 in every meaningful category. So yeah - Travis Kelce is absolutely going to have a big game - and likely find the end zone at least once. But the game will hinge on how long the KC line can hold off Hassan Reddick, Brandon Graham, and the rest of the old guys on the Eagles front line. If they can block them then they probably win, because mahomes can beat every other player on the field. If they can’t block them, then Mahomes could end up like Purdy. it’s really a good overall matchup - one of the best we’ve seen in quite a while. Could easily go either way. Should be a fun game. 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."

Feels like either an Eagles blowout or a close Chiefs win.

Only the 3rd team in NFL history with 70 sacks (1984 Bears, 1989 Vikings) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 It's time to abort the "Pro Bowl" and everything about it. It was a done product around the time they moved it out of Hawaii and shifted the game to weekend before the Super Bowl, But three days of flag football, dodgeball and dude perfect stunts is a JOKE and almost an insult to the league. It would've been wise for the XFL or USFL started up today. A lot of people would've flipped over to watch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germanshepherd Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 There’s a good idea somewhere in here, but this ain’t it. Flag football is really boring.

Sec19Row53 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Does it make money for the NFL? That's why it continues. Don't watch it if you don't like it. I don't. They don't care 1 Quote It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't care All due respect, but there's more to this than the "it makes money/ it, don't watch it" argument. Which do you think is better for the NFL product overall, Myles Garrett playing in the "Pro Bowl Games" and getting hurt or Myles Garrett playing 17 actual NFL games and selling #95 jerseys for the Browns next season? Sure, the "Pro Bowl Games" puts an extra few bucks in the NFL bank account, but are a few quick bucks worth the potential of losing much more money in the long term? Great players are risking injury for a carnival sideshow. This pointless nonsense is going to end up costing someone their career...again.

(See Edwards, Robert) The Pro Bowl needs to end whether we watch it or not. No problem with that take, but the post to which I reacted was 'bah it's boring', not 'it's an issue of safety'. As to the players taking that risk, they're free to beg out due to injury, aren't they? They must be making some money from it as well. As far as it being a traveshamockery - it's not like they let a player from the NFC snap the ball to the AFC quarterback or anything heinous like that Quote It's where I sit.

The harsh reality is that the NFL won’t change unless it senses that there is an existential reason to. I don't think that's being entirely fair. The NFL tinkers with rules and procedures every single year and introduces new technology over time. It's the least hidebound league of any of them.

This is the only pro league ASG where the top-tier players opt out. When was the last time Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers showed up for a Pro Bowl? If the players don't care, why should the fans? And now that it's not even a game, even more of a reason to just pull the plug on the entire thing. Or at the very least bail on the name "Pro Bowl" and call it what it really is.

DoctorWhom Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 The Pro Bowl has been dead since they took it out of Hawaii. That itself was at least an enticing reward for players. Doubt they bring it back there again though. IDK if Hawaii even has a suitable stadium anymore. Last I heard Aloha stadium had been condemned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
