I like watching Von Miller..I like when announcers say that he reminds them of Derrick Thomas..big time compliment. You boys had your championships..I just want 1!

Yeah we all got screwed playing the Patriots last year.

Again, how did they end up with another first round bye? Thank the Jets and the Bills for that. At least the Dolphins did their part by whooping them once.

I am a Broncos fan because I thought football was boring until I seen a game with Elway and the three amigos. I hated that Denver lost so many super bowls and 55/10 that time...ouch. I am glad Elway did finally get 2 rings, and I am glad Peyton got his 2nd ring. I also liked watching Jim Kelly and Dan Marino play, sucks they never could get a ring.

I can not stand the Falcons, I just never care for quarterbacks they choose anymore. I will be so glad when Matt Ryan retires or gets traded. Hell, the falcons drafted Brett Farve and let him go, how stupid.

I have always hated the raiders because it seems every punk wants to wear their gear.

Last season I really enjoyed watching Mahomes.

I like several teams and hate several teams for one reason or another.

I just wish the nfl would leave the rules alone. It will be flag football soon the way it is going. I get helmet to helmet is bad, but some of the other stuff? c'mon man!

1992 called. Wants its stereotype back.

Those were the good old days!
No tenants to deal with...luckily I do have great ones now.
My Dad was still in good health.
I worked 80 hours a week then, but it was easy, I loved it, and saved every penny I could.
A lot of things in life were better in 1992 than now. Hell nfl rules were better then.

Hey at least he didn't say the only thing worse was the Jerri curl guy with the Bulls hat.

No shit. 1992 was when we were young verile men and we didn’t know that our nfl heroes were smashing their brains into mush. 1992 was when a young tight 19 year old girl whispered in my ear that she wanted to eff me. The next night her best friend whispered in my ear the same thing. Yeah, 1992 was pretty good. NFL rules were better then maybe for some fans, but they weren’t better for the players. Nostalgia is a bitch my friend.

Funny you should say that. I work with some OG raider fans that were young and tough fans back in the day. Now they are successful family men with big fat bellies and old faded tattoos. They still wear their Raiders hats though. Some of them are actually rooting for the Rams as well. Everyone agrees that the Chargers suck and should go back to San Diego.

Was watching the Chiefs Niners game tonight. Mahomes looked like a man among boys. His throws were crisp and accurate and he looked confident in the pocket. Garoppolo looked like a boy among men. His throws were wobbly and behind the receivers, and he had happy feet in the pocket.

My prediction:

Rams vs Chiefs in the Super Bowl, assuming Wentz gets hurt and Brees gets old.

The internet sure can be a magical place sometimes.

And the raiders are mathematically out of playoff contention...

Just got back from Dallas me and my son to watch the cowboys beat up on the Texans. We were front row got to play catch with jj watt and got on the field at the end of the game. Last we shook hands with moose Johnston. The old fullback for emitt. Was a little star struck wasn’t able to grab that pic but did some research and found out he is from western ny and went to cuse. Another one of our teams. Go Cowboys

Yeah it is funny, EVERYBODY thinks 30 years ago was a "simpler time" and that it was way awesomer. Of course it was! You were a kid, or a teenager, and had zero responsibilities or serious problems. Now you are old and beholden to a boss, a wife, the bank, etc. Derrr....things were so much better back in 1855!

1992 was pretty sweet NFL wise as the Redskins started it out by winning their final Super Bowl. Magical season that was. As a Redskins fan life is pretty depressing, so of course we live in the past, it's all we've had since Bush sr was in office. I watched the "Skins 1991 yearbook" recently on youtube and was SHOCKED by the highlights. Virtually every play was a late hit, helmet to helmet, horse collar...it was almost painful to watch, seriously. They'll never be able to make football "safe" but anybody who wants football to be played like it was back then is some kind of a fascist.

This seems like a fair prediction but I just can't help think the Rams window is already closing and that the Chiefs (Reid) will find some way to fuck it up. Is the Chief's atrocious defense from last year going to be any better? Will the Rams have a running game or is Gurley finished?

Brees? Who knows. Logic dictates that time will catch up with him.

Not surprised about Jimmy G. The Patriots have an almost hypnotic hold on the rest of the league when it comes to fleecing them for their useless backup QBs. Has a single one of these guys gone on to success post Patriots?

Is this the NFL thread or Penthouse Forum?

Hopefully Dirtbag doesn’t read this post or we’ll have to hear again about that time he gave Tom Coughlin head.

I know some people aren’t fans of Wentz or think he’s not that great whatsoever. Here’s an article that looks at his numbers so far in his career 70 TD and 10k yards in his first 40 games played. Only players to do both Rodgers, Stafford, Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner, Romo and Marino.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.inquirer.com/eagles/eagles-carson-wentz-quarterback-rankings-richard-rodgers-20190730.html%3foutputType=amp

Also points out that he has missed time in two straight seasons. But... seriously Mathew Stafford missed time in both his first seasons and now has started every game since. Only Sam Bradford has truly been a train wreck of injuries.

Great pics man! (Although it pains me to say it while staring at that star on the field)

I think Wentz has been a very good QB so far, but his sample size is also pretty limited. As everyone knows, he's had injury troubles. I don't think the ACL is necessarily indicative of future injury, but the back is something I'd be pretty worried about..

He's got the tools, but the fact that Foles was also really successful would lead me to believe that the system should get most of the praise, at least for now. I'd say that's a positive for Eagles fans.

I don;t know any rational people that think that. He's well regarded as a great up and coming QB and a clear MVP candidate until injuries.

Think the Rams will be able to muster up another field goal?

It’s totally a team effort. Shows when a player like Mario has zero SB rings and others like Hostleter and Trent Dillfer and Foles have one.

But most Eagles fans were crushed when Wentz was lost to injury that year had no hope that Foles would continue to win. Truly shows that it was a team effort.

"It's a me, Mario!"

I know I’m biased, but what some people overlook too was that play should’ve been a complete penalty on the Rams. Wentz was in the end zone, and got sandwiched between two players almost with a clear intent to hurt him. No reason to hit a quarterback like that when he had already breached the plane.

And without Wentz’s 13-3 run, Eagles most likely wouldn’t have been in contention for SB in the first place.

As all Eagles fans, I’m definitely concerned and waiting to see how the season plays out.

Mahomes is crazy talented, and should have a stellar year. That is if Andy Reid can manage the clock properly.

Once QB turns into a runner there is no protection from being tackled. That’s the problem with option QB they can’t take the abuse like a running back does. Also of note the TD was nullified by holding so Wentz was able to stay in and throw a TD with a torn ACL.

Of course I was watching that game and the play where Wentz got hurt. I don’t remember anything dirty about the play. Wentz tried to do too much and paid the price for it. They sandwiched him as he was reaching for the end zone. If he fumbled the ball, maybe the Rams win that game and get home field throughout the playoffs.

Plays happen really fast. I’ve seen defenders give up on a play when it looks like the qb is going out of bounds and then at the last second he cuts inside and goes for a big gain. Defenders gonna defend. Jimmy Garoppolo got injured trying to do too much as well. Bottom line is that quarterbacks shouldn’t be extending for that extra yard or diving for the end zone in the regular season.

One of the reasons I don’t like him running, because you lose that protection. Still no need to hit him the way they did when he was already in the end zone, or any quarterback for that matter.

Better keep him out of Pittsburg then, since Bill Cowards day they've been taking on the NFL one knee at a time.

Either way...Suck it Dallas.

I think you are misremembering that play. They hit him right at the goal line. Go back and look at it again. Edit: see how he extended to try to break the plane. That was his big mistake. Anytime you extend your body, you leave yourself completely vulnerable to injury.

I disagree. What a surprise. LOL. Only the tip of the ball has to touch the goal line these days. He was clearly getting in no matter what they did, unless they dove at him helmet to helmet at the 2 yard line. Watch it real time and tell me that they had to hit him the way that they did.

It was unnecessary, overzealous and an egregious hit, especially coming from two defensemen simultaneously.

#fauxfullscreen

Haha. Nice. Their last SB win was in 1995. 24 years ago, and the year after I graduated high school.

I think Jerry Jones was only 70 then.

Class of 91’

Class of 79. Cowboys = losers.

You’re just being ridiculous right now. They were trying to cause him to fumble. They hit him before he broke the plane. Many fumbles are caused by a player being sandwiched. There was no cheap shot or intent to injure. It was a bang bang play.This isn’t a video game where as soon as the player breaks the plane the cheering sounds kick in and the players stop immediately. You’re a big homer, I get it. But take a poll and you will see that most here will disagree with you.

Thank you for literally describing every single play in football.

Well I think you're only remembering 1 knee. Darn you guys were pretty good that year too.

Yeah, likely he'll finally figure that out after 20 years. Reid's a lost cause I think for a super bowl but he's a great coach till January rolls around.

Is there a bigger homer here than Colsond?

Everybody is out to get the Eagles, the media doesn't respect the eagles, every tackle against an eagle is a dirty hit, the refs hate the eagles, the loutish drunken Eagles fanbase with its own stadium prison has an unfairly bad rep, cheesesteaks are underated, Ron Jaworski should be in the hall of fame, the Liberty Bell is underappreciated...

I mean most Eagles fans are PROUD of their rep, and he still thinks it's all a lamestream media construct!

Yes and no.
All the things you mention yes.

But do those sound like the words of a Eagles fan? Maybe they are, maybe they all sound like that?

Never meet your heroes kids.

Eagles fans seem to have lost their fire since the move to the new stadium along with much higher ticket prices.

But then winter rolls around and youtube footage of them pelting a 12 year old in a Cowboys jersey comes out and realize the beast still lurks within!

Everyone knows if a qb doesnt want to get hurt, he should not try to dive into the opponents endzone.

So many feel your pain Juice...
