Didn't watch the game but it is not a surprise in hindsight, Eagles had one good game in like 2 months. Struggled down the stretch in regular season and they were tied against niners' 4th string qb late 2nd quarter.

I wasn't a huge fan but Andy Reid really solidified himself as one of the best.

Win with decency.

Lol do you want me to link you your posts from last game? Eagles fan base should be the last ones to talk about class.

Even the eagles player who committed the penalty at the end of the game says he did it.

It's a penalty by the letter of the law. It was technically the right call.

It didn't change the outcome of the play though, and if it had been let go, it's not egregious...there are more blatant penalties that are committed that are let go.

Yes, technically people that have a gripe with it are advocating for a penalty to be ignored, but at the same time, it's more the consistency of the refs that is being criticized here. What they choose to call and not call is the problem, not if it was actually a penalty or not. Again, the refs can call a penalty every single play if they really wanted to, but obviously they use their discretion. So choosing to call that hold in that moment, in that critical of a situation, was weird. I mean, Greg Olsen, who had no dog in this fight, and was a former offensive player himself, thought that was a super soft call and didn't have to be made. Mike Pereira a former official also thought that was a weird call.

What they choose to be a play on type situation and what they end up calling a penalty was too inconsistent for my taste, and looks like for a lot of people's tastes.

They're coached to grab the back. They do it in most plays of most games. That's all teams and all defensive players.

It's a question of when the refs want to call it.

Even if the Chiefs were forced to kick and leave 1:30-1:45 on the clock it would have been a long shot for the Eagles to tie or win, unless there were more blown coverages.

But that call denied them the chance.

These breakdowns are great. KC played one of the most efficient games in playoff history, including an almost flawless 2nd half. The Reid-Mahomes combo is pretty incredible.

Both offensive lines and QBs ere great, however Eagles lines are strength of their team, so that breaking even or slightly favoring Chiefs put them in position to win. Like the Eagles and Patriots game with teams scoring nearly every play it comes down to a few possessions such as Hurts fumble, bad punt/return at the end, and Eagles kicking a field goal in 2nd half after having Sam Cassell balls on 4th down the whole game up to that point. Pacheco gave Chiefs more than any of the Eagles RBs.

Ross Tucker said the footing may have been a factor.

He said slippery footing favors the OL over the DL because they get off the ball a bit sooner and DL is reacting and may not be able to push off as well as they normally wood.

I guess this is the closest a Cowboys fan can get to winning the Superbowl, eh?

Here is another perfect example of a Whiner fan trolling Cowboy fans and trying to derail a thread that had nothing to do with either team. I admit my Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl in 27 years. But the fact of the matter the Whiners haven't won a Super Bowl in 28 years. Don't understand why they would want to have this debate or argument. :crazy:

If the Eagles can pick up one more receiver, they should dominate their conference.

LAKESHOW · Post #192 » by **LAKESHOW** » Mon Feb 13, 2023 11:51 pm

This Eagles Defensive Line talk is simply overrated and never went up against the best to truly gauge their True level.
For example, LAST YEARS RAMS truly truly had a Defensive Line. Aaron Donald and Superbowl MVP Von Miller?!? Are you kidding me?? Both on the same Defensive line rushing at the same time?? Now that's a Defensive line to be feared, respected and no matter what preparation an Offensive Line had, thet were difficult to stop.
They tried to make Phillys Defensive Line in that same light and similar level with the pregame hype. This was simply not the case.

They had the most sacks since 1985 and the third most in NFL history.

Their offense got them leads so they rarely had to worry about the run.

I would say who gives a damn. He held. They lost the game. Tough sh**.
HOWEVER, in this case. He came clean, admission, and took full blame for the Team and for eagles nation who is probably killing him right now.
That to me makes him a stand up dude, and Jacked up Juju is riding him like that.
