Tell me that didn’t feel good just now to see the Giants sitting pretty as the 4th seed in the NFC playoff picture 😁...
.....Just our luck that our starting goddamn QB is out at exactly this time. Smh. Really makes ya appreciate the iron man Eli was. I guess we just gotta be grateful Jones didn’t have a Dak-like or Burrow-like injury.
Most refs get when they go to leave the stadium in Philly HAS to have an impact on them calling the game. Even with so few fans in the stands (are their fans at this game?)
No fans right now. Had 7000 or so earlier in the year. But had to stop.
Ah, okay. Yeah I couldn’t tell if those were real people or cardboard up there lol
because we'll get killed by the Seahawks apparently. I'm really not impressed with anyone not named Metcalf on that team today on offense. And even he dropped an easy ball.

When there is a massive TOP advantage, how come the defense is always gassed but not the offense that is out there forever? Is it the ability of the offense to sub in and out more liberally?
Just have always accepted that without understanding it completely.
jpkmets,
My theory on that has always been this: Defense is more read and react, so you have a lot more stopping and starting, a lot more cutting, which I’ve always found more tiresome than a lot of straight line running without so much stopping and starting. (This makes sense too when you think of a car and how much more gas it uses per mile when it has to stop and start a lot.)
On Offense you know where you’re running on every play. A WR makes one cut and goes. The only exception is if you get the ball, THEN you may need to stop and start and make more cuts of course, but all offensive players don’t get the ball every play. Defenders need to stop and start a lot more: read where their man is going, stop, follow him, if he makes a cut, stop, follow him, then see who has the ball, stop, sprint toward that guy to tackle him, etc. (that’s the other thing— oftentimes most of the 11 defenders sprint toward the ball carrier in case they need to be the one to make the tackle, whereas offensive players, unless they’re in a position to make a block, are often able to just stop and watch the play when it’s far enough away from them)
Does that make any sense? It’s always made sense in my head but I’ve never actually written it out like that. I don’t mean for these statements about offense and defense to sound like absolutes— it’s all relative: It does seem like it takes a bit more energy to play D than to play O so there has to be something there? Idk
That does make sense! Thank you!
It’s amazing I said something that made sense to someone on this board :)

You beat me to it.
Are they told to just go along with the nonsense?
These announcers are complete dogshit. Rooting like hell,for the eagles or just don’t give a fuck about anything.
11 point 4th quarter lead. Where have we seen this before...

Wilson is a great closer.
This game is over.
Lockett is a terrific WR.

I know. I’m just being dramatic ;)
It’s an unreal showing by these refs.
Bradberry/Yiadom/Holes vs Lockett/Metcalf.
Then our DT and Martinez vs Carson/Wilson.
Problem is who will set the edge with Frackrell out?
The way these calls are being made it's clear Wentz will be holding something of the refs after the game...
Interception lol
