I don’t know how not to root for Nick Foles. He’s the best thing about sports...all he does is make the most of his opportunities and come up big on the biggest stage.
Ertz would get 10 for 140 with 2 TDs and We’d again rue the day we didn’t get Golden TateI kind of want revenge in February
Same. I wanted the Giants in 2011 and despite how poorly it went that time, you always want a shot at righting the wrongs of the past.I kind of want revenge in February
And Foles goes into the HOF with Eli, Coughlin, and Doug fucking Peterson. No thanks.Ertz would get 10 for 140 with 2 TDs and We’d again rue the day we sisn’t get Golden Tate
You can’t win with that mentality. It’s telling your players you’re scared.All the Bears had to do was rest their starters in Week 17 and let the Vikings win.
Yup.I don’t know how not to root for Nick Foles. He’s the best thing about sports...all he does is make the most of his opportunities and come up big on the biggest stage.
If you can't beat a fringe playoff team at home in the first round of the playoffs you really never had a shot. You play to win the game, HELLO.All the Bears had to do was rest their starters in Week 17 and let the Vikings win.
So now we've added the Eagles to the teams the Patriots don't want to face.Ertz would get 10 for 140 with 2 TDs and We’d again rue the day we didn’t get Golden Tate
I was hoping you would have an idea of what happened, because I thought the timing looked all messed up too, compared to the first kick. Still can't believe how close it came and didn't go in. You almost wish he would have just shanked it or had it blocked than for that to happen.Brutally slow hold and turn by O'Donnell on recovering what was otherwise a decent snap by Scales. From there Parkey has to adjust and delay his swing so he doesn't go full banana peel slip, pictured below. Fucked with his timing badly. Then Parkey compensated with a little bit low on the point of connect for more power. Ugly.
Give me the Rams and Cowboys over then, and I’d take the Saints too if the game weren’t in a dome.So now we've added the Eagles to the teams the Patriots don't want to face.
Not the Eagles. They’re playing Saturday night.as a result of that bullshit, every WC team who won this week will play their next game at the same time of week as the WC games.
nope, it's Dallas @ LA Rams.Not the Eagles. They’re playing Saturday night.
The Dude abides!I fucking knew it. I hate the Eagles.
Thanks, and this is well stated. The timing was trash and that will never be written by the history books. Much as I have my concerns and drawbacks of the power move there, kind of get doing so since he was possibly concerned (understandably so!) about the kick being blocked. Given the circumstances, miracle it was that close to being a successful try. I've seen lesser kickers do less with a closer distance, and similar intial screwups.I was hoping you would have an idea of what happened, because I thought the timing looked all messed up too, compared to the first kick.

Man at one point we were thinking it could be more like 36Pats 2nd rounder from the Bears is officially #56, right?
fine. but the rule shouldn't maintain an incompletion when it's a clear catch.The early whistle helped the Bears if anything. It would’ve been Eagles ball if it wasn’t blown.
Yup. Mack trade definitely hurt us.Man at one point we were thinking it could be more like 36
Also that TD drive should have been a 3 and out but unnecessary roughness penalty on 3rd down on the Bears kept it alive.So basically this is what killed the game for Chicago, right here in the third quarter:
1-10-PHI 49 (6:37) PENALTY on CHI, Defensive Too Many Men on Field, 5 yards, enforced at PHI 49 - No Play.
1-5-CHI 46 (6:15) (No Huddle) D.Sproles left tackle to CHI 43 for 3 yards (R.Smith).
2-2-CHI 43(5:32) (Shotgun) N.Foles pass incomplete deep left to J.Matthews. PENALTY on CHI-P.Amukamara, Defensive Pass Interference, 33 yards, enforced at CHI 43 - No Play.
1-10-CHI 10 (5:26) (Shotgun) N.Foles pass short middle to D.Goedert for 10 yards, TOUCHDOWN Bears only had 10 man on the field
Maybe the whistle blew but the back judge picked up a live football, which forced the referee into a compromised review decision.The early whistle helped the Bears if anything. It would’ve been Eagles ball if it wasn’t blown.
What an asshole.another reason to root against the Iggles.
My hatred for the Eagles, their fans and that outcome cannot be measured.
Fuck.
The Yankees and their miscreant fan base.Exceeded only by that for ...?
Where U been? Not my section. Stay out of the upper deck and PM me for tix if you want to take in Baltimore.
This is why police vastly prefer baseball games.
