Matthew Stafford outdoors in the rain/snow: 1-8 record, 54.6 completion percentage, 14 TDs, 11 INTs

Excellent point. That's wild.

I do find it funny that for this entire century fans have been screaming to run the ball. Now they are, and very successfully, and now fans scream why doesn't Hurts have big passing numbers? People be crazy.

The numbers/stats don't mean much. What matters is how the passing game does when they have to pass.

When is that?

3rd and long, behind late in a close game, early downs after a penalty, etc.

3rd and long. How much time is left, what's the score, where are they on the field?

Early downs, same questions. Plus, what was the penalty yardage, what down?

Asking because all that matters.

There was way too many but I'll give you two, both first half, tie game:

3rd and 12, at their own 35
2nd and 20, same place.

Every team has passing downs at some point, although they could run on 2nd and 20.

1st half in a tie game, any situation, they're not putting the ball in harms way. They'll take whatever the defense gives them and punt it away of they aren't in a 4th & 1.

Eagles fans:

If the Rams beat the Eagles, the reason would be _________?

They beat themselves

Eagles can lose this game. The Rams can't win it.

 

[Zeppelin]

Eagles can lose this game. The Rams can't win it.

I disagree with this. If the Rams play great they absolutely can win this game without the Eagles handing it to them.

 

[Snotbubbles]

Eagles can lose this game. The Rams can't win it.

I disagree with this. If the Rams play great they absolutely can win this game without the Eagles handing it to them.

If the Eagles and Rams both play their A game, the Rams can't win.

 

[Zeppelin]

Eagles can lose this game. The Rams can't win it.

I disagree with this. If the Rams play great they absolutely can win this game without the Eagles handing it to them.

If the Eagles and Rams both play their A game, the Rams can't win.

That I agree with...and that's true for any game with a point spread of around a touchdown or more.

That I agree with...and that's true for any game with a point spread of around a touchdown or more.

So then you agree, the Eagles have to not play their best for the Rams to win, or to put it another way, the Eagles can lose the game, the Rams can't win it.

I do not agree that your first statement is the same as the last. If the Rams play their A game and the Eagles play their B game and the Rams win, the Rams will have won this game rather than the Eagles losing it

If they don't play their best and the Rams play great and win, the result won't be because the Eagles lost it, it will because the Rams won it.

To me, for it to be because the Eagles lost it would mean they played BAD, not that they played less than their best (like their B game).

Playing a B game is playing bad.

A is great
B is good
C is average
D is bad
F is fail

 

[fred_1_15301]

Omg lol! This is like a Seinfeld skit

 

[Zeppelin]

Hey now. It was good back and forth without any toolish comments. We disagreed but it was respectful.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I keep hearing that Herbert is elite. Jordan Love and Burrow too. Elite, in my opinion, is winning games. There were years that Brady had terrible stats but won games. Jalen hasn't lost a game he's played since week four of this year. That's elite.

burrow is. herbert is one i think is way overhyped.

I agree. My point is, where's Burrow? Where's Herbert? I think Burrow is a killer and pound for pound maybe the best QB in the league. He's got similar/maybe better weapons than Jalen. Why is he in Cabo with a Coco-Loco and Jalen is prepping for a game in mid-January? Is it luck or is it because Jalen actually IS elite, just not in the 6'-5"-rocket arm-slides-up-in-the-pocket stereotypical view that we've all assumed is the only option?

Burrow is on vacation because his coach is an idiot.

 

[Terpman22]

If the Lions lose…

 

[Insein]

If the Lions lose…

Linc is going to be crazy tomorrow regardless but there will be some extra juice.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

If the Lions lose…

They’re missing so much on defense and all the pressure was on them. This really doesn’t shock me.

 

[Insein]

Ooo boy

 

[fred_1_15301]

If the Lions lose…

Honestly even if they win…….. they look very beatable.

 

[need2know]

Things looking good for us....

 

[need2know]

When goff looks bad he really looks bad. 3 turnovers so far

 

[Pip's Invitation]

This is the DET-SF game in reverse. Neither team can contain the other, so it comes down to turnovers.

 

[Snotbubbles]

They don't play defense.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

If the Lions lose…

They don't play defense.

To be fair they’re missing 13 defensive players including 6 starters. It was bound to catch up with them and when Goff makes that many mistakes it’s nearly impossible to come back.

Won’t be shocked if he throws another pick

Yes this current version of the Lions D can’t stop anyone. Probably the same with the Washington D.

You can just feel it coming.

REALLY hope we take care of business tomorrow!

Phillly/Washington would be a hell of a game. Washington is peaking.

This is why I had no fear of going into Detroit and winning.

WAS run D is bad. DET was having great success and instead of sticking with it, they started throwing it. I don't get it.

Won’t be a cake walk but will be fun. Crazy part is thinking how we may get a Was-Philly rivalry for the next 5-8 years with how both teams are looking. Can see them be national games too, Daniel’s will be in my nightmares for awhile bit

Yup Philly has to take care of business tomorrow and I think they should beat Washington. But man Washington looks to have something brewing. I think it would be a good game.

I’m thinking tight butthole game the way these Commanders have looked late in 4th quarters. I’m sure I’ll have money on Philly but there will likely be some bad words coming out of my mouth during that game.

I won a lot of money the last time Eagles won a superbowl. Hoping for the same thing to happen this year.

Same. My bookie was a little pissy at how I kept adding to the bet throughout the year too. Made that Super Bowl even more fun

WE will kill them in round 3

[need2know]

Wish ertz was still on our team

 

[Lehigh98]

One game at a time, need to take care of business tomorrow before we even start talking about next week.

(Would be awesome to go to another home NFCC though!)

 

[GoBirds]

Take care of business tomorrow and we got an another home game. Lions fans are tortured souls.

 

[DJackson10]

I do find it funny that for this entire century fans have been screaming to run the ball. Now they are, and very successfully, and now fans scream why doesn't Hurts have big passing numbers? People be crazy.

It’s how the passing game looks when they need to and this uK year it hasn’t looked good at all. Most of the players had alluded to this over most of the season too. They look good to the naked eye but if you watch most of the games they could and should be much better numbers wise

 

[Terpman22]

The Linc is gonna be so rockin tomorrow knowing if we win everyone gets to come back.

Its dumb. Enjoy the winning. Going for number 16 on the season. Some teams take years to get 16 wins. Like the crappy *** jets

This is kind of a bad take. Remember when we fell off a clog last season after going 10-1? Myself and maybe one or two others kept saying how sloppy the team was and we were told it doesn’t matter how the games won as long as we won. Well the issues we alluded to bit then in the *** final part of the season. People should care about how they win.

 

[DJackson10]

Fans are stupid. Guys that get paid to write about the game aren’t much better. It’s really the ex-players that know what is up. Not even the coaches in the broadcast booth. They’re awful and make me wonder how much the networks dumb them down or if they’re just that bad. So fans that know really haven’t been screaming to run the ball. I haven’t been screaming to run the ball. It’s only since Fangio figured out how to slow down Mahomes by putting a million defensive backs on the field that teams stopped throwing as much, or they would continue to throw. Defenses play base nickel now and run dime at a serious rate. So, other teams run on it (more this year because it took a few years for these troglos to figure out basic schematics) and the running teams have been successful this year.

But wait until running it down other team’s throat becomes in vogue. Then DCs are just going to substitute a run thumper at off-ball linebacker and have a 220-5 lb. tweener play third linebacker instead of that aforementioned nickel or dime they were just in. You’ll see how important throwing the ball is then. Or you can wait a week until you visit Detroit. They’ll show you. Glll peas.

eta* Hell, McVay is smart. If he’s that smart, he’ll play a base 3-4 or 4-3, whatever it calls for and leave only four DBs on the field. I doubt he’ll do that and you’ll likely seen the tweener Kinchens a lot, but he sure could go with 3 LBs against the Eagles. It’s not like the Eagles have a slot receiver to make them pay for that or anything.

eta2* The more I look at this game, the closer (yes, closer) I think it’s going to be. Everything is adding up against the Rams besides their talent. I hate if it snows for them, but Stafford can handle it. It’s whether the west coast and southern guys can.

They dumb it down for people to understand. Most people aren’t gonna know what “Gun bunch wide nasty branch return” returns means. Gun bunch wide nasty is the formation of QB in the Gun one TE split out on Left or right and 3 wrs wide bunched up. Branch is the passing play where the TE makes a long in route, the closes to the line WR runs a shallow In the middle slot reciever runs a deep post and the outside rec runs a a few yards deeper than the slot on an out and in route.

Now if you followed that good for you but most won’t know that or what defenses it beats. Most people can’t sit and stay focused for the amount of time it takes to lay the intricates of the game down. The ins and outs. So most of these people dumb it down to talk to me like I’m in middle school.

Now you have your shows that are hot takes and unfortunately ratings thrive on these and some of these networks are more interested in those than give real analysis of the game

 

[DJackson10]

How much snow is expected in Philadelphia tomorrow?

Starts at noon seen anywhere from 3-8 with possible accumulation of 1 inch per hour in some areas

 

[DJackson10]

You’re not getting WAS because WAS is not beating Detroit. Dream on. WAS has your cupcake schedule mixed with a defense that Detroit will likely abuse. Unless Jayden Daniels plays his best game of the year, they aren’t even sniffing Detroit.

can set a clock to this

My question is why is a fan of a team that stunk more than raw sewage with a QB off his rocker and and an owner and GM who don’t know sh** smack talking in an Eagles thread? Is their ego brushed that much? It’s pretty sad. Like get a life, go outside and touch some grass
