Eagles vs Bears - NFC Wild Card - Henceforth Known as the Double Doink Game (2 Viewers)

[Wingnut]

I really feel the Bears would be a better match for the Saints, but maybe the Eagles learned a lot from getting obliterated by the Saints in the regular season.

Had the Bears won, they would have played vs the Rams next week though.

I'm rooting for a NO - Chargers super bowl with Brees beating the team that tossed him aside for Rivers. That would be pretty poetic.

 

[GoBirds]

Keep counting them out - they've been underdogs for 4 straight post-season games and have won them all.

If they keep slinging poop against the wall they may eventually be right. Already got one ring in the process.

Parkey is not cheap: Cody Parkey leaves Miami Dolphins for $15 million contract.

He had a great rookie season and a great 2017 with Miami.

Lol so not only is he wrong about Parkey, he’d have a tough time explaining Chris Boswell.

 

[fred_1_15301]

No doubt....and Payton has had their number.

But at this point....it shouldn't surprise anyone if PHI wins in NO.  

No it wouldn't surprise anyone.  They have something going with Foles (and he didn't even play that great).  I'm definitely placing a bet on the Eagles (money line).  I don't think they'll win but the payout will be good enough where I think it's worth a shot.

It would shock the hell out of me. 

 

[modogg]

Good game, Eagles fans.  Parkey has been our worst enemy all season and Nagy refused to address it.  It’s a fitting end and not unexpected.

i honestly haven't felt this bad for an opponent after losing to the Eagles in a long time. Like i said before, you guys are in good shape with Nagy and the team, so the future is bright. But i do feel for all of you

 

[Da Guru]

Bears should grease those goalposts..it would have squirted in.

 

[zoonation]

Saints havent been the same in weeks.  Eagles.  Fly eagles fly haters

They’ve been on the road 

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

billions of people on the planet and the NFL can't find 32 QBs OR 32 kickers that can consistently kick a football straight down the pipe from 45 yards.

The thing is, the Bears had that guy in Robbie Gould. But they had to nickel and dime him off the team.

 

[GoBirds]

Sure. The Eagles are going to get smoked though.  

Cool, any other bold predictions besides slurping the #1 seed? So brilliant. 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Eagles might be the luckiest team on the planet.  I would never bet against them.

Might be?? Lol

 

[SoBeDad]

This is the revenge of Robbie Gould. FGs, since he left Chicago (per Rotoworld):

2016 (NYG): 10 of 10

2017 (SF): 39 of 41

2018 (SF): 33 of 34

He'll be  a free agent in March.

 

[JaxBill]

@corryjoel: Cody Parkey's entire $3.5M 2019 salary is already fully guaranteed.

 

[Football Jones]

Tough loss for the Bears. You have to feel for Parkey.

Congrats, Philly.

 

[zoonation]

Cool, any other bold predictions besides slurping the #1 seed? So brilliant. 

Sure.  Colts beat the Chiefs.  Rams beat the Cowboys and the Pats crush the Bolts. 

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Why was that guy still kicking for the bears??

 

[GoBirds]

Good game, Eagles fans.  Parkey has been our worst enemy all season and Nagy refused to address it.  It’s a fitting end and not unexpected.

You guys got a good thing going, good game. 

 

[Man In The Box]

Early line is NO -8

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Why can't he hit any uprights today!

Ask and ye shall receive.

 

[GoBirds]

@corryjoel: Cody Parkey's entire $3.5M 2019 salary is already fully guaranteed.

OK I don’t feel as bad for him getting paid to sit home next season. 

 

[Rove!]

Parkey is not cheap: Cody Parkey leaves Miami Dolphins for $15 million contract.

He had a great rookie season and a great 2017 with Miami.

That surprises me...he had gotten waived by the Eagles and Browns previously....

9 Million guaranteed?   Ouch

Bears probably wish they had never dumped Gould...he has made 82  out of 85 kicks since he left Chicago 

 

[modogg]

Might be?? Lol

Cowboys are luckier. wouldn;t be in the playoffs if Redskins don't lose half their team and the Eagles don't sit out the first 13 weeks of the season

 

[CR69]

I hope Philly sends the officiating crew a thank you card for all of the gifts. 

 

[GoBirds]

Might be?? Lol

All that Cowboys fan chirping a few weeks ago when you all had a one game lead in the division and you won’t end up getting any further that the Eagles....so Cowboys congrats. 

 

[modogg]

If the line is going to be double figures, I'm jumping hard on the Eagles.  Harder than I've ever done so in my life.  That game is probably coming down to the wire as well.  Unfortunately I think Brees ends up on the winning side.  But I hope I'm wrong!

looking like 8.5, and money is already coming in on the Saints. 

 

[The Frankman]

I came into this game thinking if Bears lost it would've been because of Trubisky, and for 3 quarters it was... Eagles moved the ball but never got a real knockout until the end of the game. All of a sudden, Trubisky starts throwing godbeams and they FINALLY take advantage of the Iggles' weak secondary. They move into relatively easy FG position with plenty of time and give Parkey a spot on the right hash. Now, I grew up with my brother being a HS football star playing multiple positions, one of them being kicker. One thing he always told me is though it does vary sometimes person to person, a right footed kicker should always want a right hash spot because you can control the kick easier and if you have any sort of natural hook left, you can adjust for it aka you don't have to "push" the ball across your body. As long as your footwork is solid, you're set.

Parkjey had a second chance to time his footwork. The snap was ok, and it was a pretty windless night. He had close to perfect conditions to kick that FG and he pulled the ever loving crap out of that ball. I'm just disgusted at that; this is arguably as bad as Blair Walsh vs. the Seahawks.

 

[unckeyherb]

was happy taking the Birds in teasers, againt the spread, and Money LIne 

Yup took em to win outright at +200.  Boo ya

 

[GoBirds]

I hope Philly sends the officiating crew a thank you card for all of the gifts. 

Eww bad look, take the L better than that. 

 

[Amused to Death]

I hope Philly sends the officiating crew a thank you card for all of the gifts. 

Hard fought game, shame it ended the way it did.  But if it had to, I'm glad it was their kicker and not ours.

 

[The General]

I hope Philly sends the officiating crew a thank you card for all of the gifts. 

Besides the head guy announcing #### sounding like he was wasted the calls were pretty good tonight I think.

 

[The Frankman]

@corryjoel: Cody Parkey's entire $3.5M 2019 salary is already fully guaranteed.

... ####!!!

 

[fred_1_15301]

looking like 8.5, and money is already coming in on the Saints. 

Money Line!

 

[fred_1_15301]

Eww bad look, take the L better than that. 

Yup officiating had nothing to do with that loss.  Fluky loss in every way possible (even a bad kicker has to make that kick 8 out of 10).  But not sure how anyone can blame the refs.

 

[The General]

Saints will crush these guys in that dome...but I'm not betting it.

Foles is some kind of vodoo witch

 

[sho nuff]

Tough way to lose...seemed inevitable Parkey would either be a hero or goat at some point. 

 

[modogg]

Money Line!

+305. i'm hoping more money comes in on N.O. don't think line will get to 10 but should go up a bit

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I used to know a guy named Double Dork, but Double Doink is new to me.

 

[eoMMan]

Should have been a tied game if he made it....that ball crossed the line on the 2 pt conversion. 

 

[travdogg]

Outside of Philly, nobody is happier right now than the Rams, they wanted no part of the Bears after what happened a month ago.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

All that Cowboys fan chirping a few weeks ago when you all had a one game lead in the division and you won’t end up getting any further that the Eagles....so Cowboys congrats. 

Your post makes no sense. We were talking about the eagles getting lucky. 

You guys have a complex lol

Anyway, congrats on advancing

 

[modogg]

Outside of Philly, nobody is happier right now than the Rams, they wanted no part of the Bears after what happened a month ago.

ehh, Eagles beat them the next week in LA. They will be rooting for New Orleans next week cause if the Eagles get to play in LA it will be a home game for them

 

[Osaurus]

Had the Bears won, they would have played vs the Rams next week though.

I'm rooting for a NO - Chargers super bowl with Brees beating the team that tossed him aside for Rivers. That would be pretty poetic.

I think the NFC East is out next weekend.

 

[The General]

Cody Parkey doing interviews in the locker room. He answered them all, some jackass asked him if he thinks he'll have a job in Chicago next year. Brutal.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Want to see a side shot of where exactly the ball landed on the crossbar.

Why does that matter? The ball has to go through

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Besides the head guy announcing #### sounding like he was wasted the calls were pretty good tonight I think.

Yeah, that was bizarre

 

[Billy Bats]

Should have been a tied game if he made it....that ball crossed the line on the 2 pt conversion. 

Was damn close. Wouldn’t have been surprised if they called it good. It was weird, I thought the sideline cam showed it cross the tip of the goal line while the overheads didn’t. Tough call either way. 

But just like Sproles up the middle, it was a bad play call. 

 

[The Frankman]

Cody Parkey went 3-of-4 on field goals in Chicago's 16-15, Wild Card loss to the Eagles on Sunday, missing a 43-yard game-winning field goal at the end of the fourth quarter.

Parkey had a tumultuous first season in Chicago, hitting the uprights four times in Week 10 against the Lions, again in Week 17, and finally hit the upright and crossbar on the same kick against Philly with the Bears trailing by one point with five seconds remaining in the contest. On the year, Parkey went 26-of-34 on field goals and 42-of-45 on extra points. That's not good enough. Signed to a four-year deal, Parkey is very likely to be cut in the offseason after this latest blunder.

Rotoworld take. He's done on the Bears.

 

[dickey moe]

Why does that matter? The ball has to go through

I know that - just want to see how close it was to doinking the other way through.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

ehh, Eagles beat them the next week in LA. They will be rooting for New Orleans next week cause if the Eagles get to play in LA it will be a home game for them

Well, unless all those fans are flying in from Philly, THEY ARE NOT TRUE FANS!!!! 

 

[Slider]

Last time? With the Raiders? Not pertinent to this discussion. The Bears defense has talent all over the place.  

Sure, any game is winnable. The Eagles aren't a bad team by any measure. They're not beating the Bears, though.
