But none of the pickups proved to be crazy
On their D
They got like three tight ends too didn’t they lol
Lol, yeah
The Pats D did 95% of the work and the Bills have clearly figured it out.
I do have to wonder how much Josh McDaniels is really providing that offense. Mac Jones is a rookie and all but the offense as a whole is meh.
Singletary again for the TD
welp
Always next year.
Round the wagons
But for now. Embrace Josh Allen supremacy!

One number short from memes...
Bolts and Raptors with the Ws 
They really tried a fake spike there...
I-
Great catch by Meyers
Well at least they will score
Kick is good
Jesus damn
Sorry to bother you but there may or may not be an untagged OS meme in memes, didn’t know if it broke any rules but just wanted you to know
Lemme check
Oops, didn’t tag it right
It’s AOT and FNAF
If it’s nothing my b for pinging you with it
Just didn’t know
Np np

Just one of those games.
Oh this over
This just feels like Brady vs the Saints. Except the Pats actually score.
End it already

Bass the only one who can stop the bills from scoring

The best part of the Patriots getting probed on national television is that it's the Patriots.
Mac with a dime, then Bourne with great YAC
Nice little end around to Bourne
Bills player hurt
At least the leafs won
This isn’t fair. You cannot honestly expect the Pats defense to stop a bunch of freak athletes hopped up on smelling salts and viagra in single digit temperatures.
1431

TD Pats
Mac to Bourne
Patriots get their participation touchdown
33-10 Bills
Safe to say @Steve_Dangle was pretty fired up after that @MapleLeafs win. 😂 https://t.co/Jd66q93ceZ
211
Not going to win a round with this defense
Mmm, Bills got hot chicken broth on their side line
TD Bills
Allen to Davis
Think it’s safe to pull him now

😭
Why aren’t they pulling Allen and the starters yet?
Seems stupid
And fat man TD for the disrespect
Bills just ending 20 years of frustration on their ass

Big man TD
Chicken broth is top tier when done right
BB keeping Mac out there to take his lumps
For his sake I hope it has a positive effect on him
Cause otherwise this is just cruel
Waiting for the bill belicheck press conference
“We’re onto the offseason”
“We just couldn’t get it done”
2-0
I'm done with this team
Tbh, they just shot much better than us
I thought we had more than 10 turnovers actually
But we can't play defense for shit
We don't even look like we're trying half the time
They need a spark bad. Lousy effort once again tonight

What happen to bron
the last guy that i'd be concerned about is bron
Oh
dude was playing some of the best basketball he's ever played for a stretch
if he had an off game tonight
Wait what lebron was not playing
he did play lol
Oh
What about westbrook
playing like westbrook
Need ad back
Arteta talking about the postponement of North London derby
572
2307
Fuckin united man, superstar player yet can't play for shit
Rafa has been sacked
TB, DAL, and KC for today @rustic mountain
Feeling hard that Dallas gonna fold LMFAOO
Why do u feel that?
because they’re dallas
but they’re America’s team
Lol damn
@rustic mountain packers and chiefs for my sb pick. forgot to ping the other day
rams vs chiefs for my unbiased sb pick @rustic mountain
You got it man
I am glad I don't have to be biased anymore
New England got rocked and it sucked but
Exactly lmao
i never picked against the rams once this szn
But I will never be able to pick against my team unless someone like Mike Glennon is my qb
even when we were in a rut and facing the packers
Neither did I for the pats
though the neutral me def knew shit was gonna do down
Exactly
though its a bit easier when ur team doesnt exactly suck
like if i was fan of the jags, i'd be resigned to it "yea we aint winning"
Yep.
is it hurts szn?
Considering the Eagles' gameplan is the run game and they're facing the number one rush defense. Yep, it's gonna be a long climb for them.
Newcastle want Phil Jones lmao
why?
Who knows
i'm too much of a rational fan to do that
i did pick the 49ers mostly during games that i thought would be close
but not when i thought they had no chance
and for super bowl picks, even in my most optimistic view of the 49ers i'd never consider them to be able to make the superbowl. Jimmy G isn't reliable enough and the secondary is questionable
eagles are getting blown out
I don’t know about that, I’m just going for a W
It think it will be a close game. Bucs don't like to make things easy for themselves.
That's a tough injury
This gonna be ugly I feel lol
what happened? i’m not watching the game rn
His leg got stuck on the play prior I think then on the next play the leg just gave up I think
man that sucks
It's apparently an ankle injury
Tristan Wirfs has returned to the sidelined and is in uniform still
The Eagles better make this game close or I'm gonna be salty we lost a bye week for this. Steelers can get blown out though
yeah lol
Not over yet.
Bruh I can't believe the 2nd seed bye week died for this
Oh shit. Jensen injured maybe
Bucs have outgained the Eagles 137-15, have an 11-1 edge on first downs and lead 13-0 on scoreboard, PAT coming. Quite a first quarter, OL injuries aside.
OL injuries aside? That can kill your prospects of making it past teams that matter
Ryan Jensen still out there at center. Didn't miss a snap. That's who he is.
Oh my god the Eagles actually got a stop. Truly a momentous occasion
Had to have that
Hurts being Hurts. But they really thought a screen on 3rd and 11 was a good idea.
I don't understand why Smith isn't getting used at all
Trying to convert a 4th and 10 there is too risky
Hurts is fast and that's about it. His decision making, long ball, total trash.
Contenders having to get injured against teams that shouldn't be in the playoffs so the NFL gets more money sucks
Yeah, Smith has been on one on one with Dean a couple of plays and they don't even target him. Like, the hell are the Eagles doing?
Tristan Wirfs is back on the field. Very encouraging to have him and Jensen both back in the game after injuries.
103
He looks pretty slow rn
Yeah, I think that's his last snap though
Honestly take him out. No point risking it getting worse
OK Eagles one more chance to keep me from just going to play Mass Effect
Some refball now.
From our @ESPNStatsInfo crew: No Eagles receiver has gained a scrimmage yard and we're at the 2-minute warning...The last team to have 0 scrimmage yards from wide receivers in the first half of a playoff game? The 2013 Chargers.
not a big refball fan
Why is Smith being frozen out rn?
Like what the hell is going on here
Smith finally gets a turn and it's called back
is that ref ok?
Int
LOLEAGLES
Hurts sucks
int
Bruh
lol
The Eagles made the playoffs for plays like that?
OK I'm gonna go play Mass Effect
Wirfs got injured for this
He could've been injured the next game anyways.
Injuries happen. You play what you have to play. Period.
Yeah but these games only exist for money not because they make football better. Its always going to be a bitter pill to me personally
A lot of things in football now that I have to bite my tongue to.
It’s like guys getting injured in the 17th game
Feels like the Bucs did their job on offense for the most part. The defense is just a lot different with David back.
At least the eagles are doing better than the pats
The Pats scored points.
Down by less
Bucs D is playing well so far
Big play here and there but they're getting sacks
Just got a great INT
Bruh, Tampa has been one of the most penalized teams in the league this year
Sucks to suck that it's happening to someone else
was talking about this footy game mb, not sure if that was towards me lol
Ah my b
Hope your refs get better then my dude
If there is one thing I feel like fans of any sport can agree with it's that refs suck, regardless of the sport

I'll delete that if that's too NSFW
Just thought it was funny that a sports fan is getting that wild
Like I feel like I don’t have a right to complain being up 17-0 but man, that’s like 4 dropped INTs
Good thing Tampa’s offense is sputtering
Doing this against a team with a competent offense would be a death sentence
LOL EAGLES
Fumble!!!!
I say they're being more conservative than sputtering if you ask me.
Bucs ball!!!
yeah fair enough
Brady got sacked like 3 consecutive drives, I think they're worried about running the clock as much as possible.
17 point lead isn’t big enough to be conservative against a good team though
Well, the Eagles haven't exactly proven to score points quick yet.
Good is kinda subjective given how cookie cutter the Eagles schedule has been so far
They lost to the Giants. That's all you need to know.
I don’t mean the eagles lol
Gio with the speed.
Philly drafted reagor before Jefferson LOL
Here are the players that Philadelphia passed on in the 2020 NFL Draft to select Jalen Reagor:
- Justin Jefferson
- Brandon Aiyuk
- Tee Higgins
- Michael Pittman Jr.
- Laviska Shenault
- Chase Claypool
- Van Jefferson
Note those are just players at one position.
324
Philly fans are still super salty about that
rip eagles
Gronk probably had time to play Halo Infinite and get 5 kills with all the time he had there.
The only question is if the eagles score or not
will they or will they not?
Shaq with a pick
They should totally put Gardner Minshew in now.
And now Mike Evans TD
Eagles trying to beat the patriots for worst loss
Play minshew
this is sad
NFL has had only one playoff shutout in the last 15 years -- Chiefs shut out Texans 30-0 in 2016. Bucs have a 31-0 lead on Eagles entering the fourth quarter.
How was that not called for helmet to helmet though?
The refs are on autopilot.
is raegor ok?
devona smith nice wit it
Slim Reaper
In other news, Troy Aikman is a salty man that he had to do color commentary for this game instead of Dallas.
#Eagles will finish the season with an 0-7 record against playoff teams.
336
So if Dallas wins this game they play Tampa next week, if SF wins they play GB next week and the winner of Ari and LAR plays Tampa next week
TD
defense eatin
Let’s go
Good old Jimmy G

Elijah Mitchell was such a good pick
Someone was open
Ahhh
And a delay of game sigh
Just kick the field goal
That's alot of flags
Amazing catch
yeah lol
Yeah
Bosa please get up
that looked nasty
is bosa ok?
Not sure yet
Was down before commercial, injury break
Lmao
Did anyone hear that "FUCK"
lmao yeah I did
2 per snap penalties on the same play
cmon man
should've picked that
Should have
Might have worked in their favor though
high as shit lol
Just don’t rough the kicker
why would they make it so close?
Why do they redo for the cowboys being idiots with their stadium
Bosa out
thats huge
lol damn that jennings hit
Cowboys having a nuclear meltdown.
Let's say, the Niners scored after picking off Dak
No way
Cowboys 
FUUUUUUUUCK

Is Dallas really gonna be the most embarrassing loss this weekend
Especially after
Josh Allen Supremacy
Yeah yeah yeah
Dude showed up our D
At least Mac and Kendrick Bourne showed up
We need better pieces man

Mitchell a beast
Don't worry Cowboy fans, you can always talk about 1996 again.
damn he was open
The Jimmy g experience is misery
Always guaranteed to miss some throws he has to have
Man Dak has been bad
Two things need to happen for me to enjoy the rest of the playoffs: Someone beats Buffalo and Dallas gets put out
We all know why this is happening. McCarthy being outcoached again
why does mccarthy always do this in the playoffs?
Oh and it would be really really neat if Joe Burrow got to the AFC title game at least. I am slowly loving what Cincy is doing. Really enjoy Burrow and Chase and Sam Hubbard
Dallas losing looks like it might happen
I think I'll put my rooting interest in Cicny first then Tommy Tampa
burrow >>> ur fav qb
dallas almost outta here, just need a team to put the Bills thru a table
Brady deserved better than what Bill did man
I can see Cincy going far. But if yesterday's game says anything, they're in trouble if they face a better QB.
good things titans dont have a qb
I don't think it is
Who does cincy face
Plus Raiders D played pretty well
They were the 2 seed so
The second lowest seed
The Bengals almost blew that lead.
They did but they have also beaten KC
And I think that proves that they can beat any of these teams
That's good and all. But playoff football and regular season football are two different things.
They are
And I think the raiders were overlooked a bit
With all the off the field stuff
I think Cincy is really good and can make the title game at least
Yeah, I can see a title game appearance. But a SB. Meh... we'll see.
Mmm I don't see them ready for that.
I see Buffalo rn
But it depends ENTIRELY on Josh Alle
Yo, Dak, you're throwing like Derek Carr rn.
Allen
Fake punt.
And it looks like if Pitt upsets KC then Bengals vs Bills but if KC presumably wins, Tennessee vs Cincy
49ers special teams whyyyyy
What are the cowboys doing
Pitt would be hilarious
More yinzer streams
how many penalties is that on dallas?
Is there any other game tonight
Go Big Ben
rly?
Captain Fatfuck: Leader of Men!
even ben doesnt believe in them
It would be hilarious to see KC lose
You couldn't pay me to cheer on any team from shitsburg
I am also now all for the chaos
Amazing that one state has most of the franchises I despise the most
bro wtf
New England being out means give me a fucking Steelers vs 49ers superbowl
All that just for a FG
Jimmy wtf
JIMMY
jfc this guy
This is why Trey got drafted by the Niners
Warner injured
welp
Cowboys going to win
u think so?
Niners choking
Niners are winning still
Bro holy shit
Incomplete

lmaoo yoo
Bailed out so hard by luck
lmao
Bruh
NO WAYYYYY
Niners getting bailed out by luck
stay in bounds bro

That tackle won the game
WAIT WHA...
why not
just go for it
it literally almost ends the game
lol
if theres 1 team i want to get me 1 yd, its the 9ers with their big bodies
🔥🔥🔥
Damn. Niners defence saving the day for the team
Lmaooo cowboys
Bruh. Perfect way for this game to end for the Cowboys
The coaching is just so awful in Dallas
The amount of lucky bs this team has had
Niners have gotten so lucky
You could argue the Cowboys beat themselves. All these flags and self-inflicting wounds.
4-0 bb
That's the story of the Cowboys all season basically 
the cowboys are frauds
They knew what was coming when they hired Mike McCarthy as HC.
That holding literally was them beating themselves
Damn it
I wonder how you don't fire McCarthy after this. You were expecting to at least make the second round with this core and they couldn't even get passed Jimmy Garbage. But this is Jerry Jones and that won't happen.
I honestly don't know
it totally is
Dak's thinking to himself. "So this is what it was like to be Aaron Rodgers 2011-2018"
except aaron is good
Aaron Rodgers would have won this game
dak is not good at all
Dak is good
Just...man.
I do wonder if Dak is hurt or something and he's not telling anyone.
he’s legit holding the whole offense back
Idk if something's up with him
Like remember, Dak was carrying the Cowboys till that NE game.
If Dallas doesn't fire Mike McCarthy after this shit, then their franchise is forfeit.
You wanna talk about it, @ScooterMagruder
1089
4th and inches lmao
Bro honestly just get a better sensor in the ball
Lol so the ball went from being halfway past the marker to pretty clearly behind it
Yeah idk that's dodgy
We have modern technology. Just put a sensor in the ball and give the refs a screen for it in these situations
Got it
49ers false start
oh penalty smh

False start 
Omg bruh
Dummies lol
Just let this game end
Alright let's see if Dak makes it count here
Vomiting rn
Damn what
lol
LMAOOO
Oh fuck
Profusely vomiting
Nah this hilarious lmaoo
That's super unfortunate
They always just barely lose because they shoot themselves in the foot
Ok
Niners got so lucky this game
Can someone please explain what just happened
Perfect metaphor for the Cowboys. So close to victory, but too little too late.
This whole season
I can't do it
so if im understanding this right
the boys tried to rush the play and didnt let the ref touch it
which killed the clock
?????
Yeah something like that
Yeah. The ref has to touch the ball. The players can't just set it themselves
That's what was risky about the play Dak made
and they cant challenge that?
The refs are gonna need some witness protection though. Be safe getting out of that stadium,
No the ref has to touch the ball and set it
Besides challenge what? No time outs
im just shocked to see a game end that weay
way
im fairly new to the sport so i still havent seen a handful of instances
I'm honestly not surprised
The Cowboys always find ways to have funny endings to playoff games.
I don't think that happens often. At least I don't remember seeing something like that before
Being a fan for this team is easily the most painful thing I've dealt with this year
another L in Jerry World
Forever the Chicago Bears of North Texas.
Will I see another Cowboys Super Bowl in my lifetime?
245
the better question is
Will I see a Cowboys Super Bowl in my lifetime?
Better question, will you ever see the Cowboys in the 3rd round in your lifetime?
yea
once jerry jones decides enough is enough
will he ever though.
Jerry is never gonna change. He's basically in Al Davis mode.
Well time to start getting nervous that the Steelers will pull an upset on us
1996 baby! Playing some Mario 64, then the new episode of Friends. Oh and the Cowboys baby!
Cowboys fans are gonna be the definition of Copium tonight
I'm pissed at the cowboys, but otherwise I'm alright
Good stuff my dude
Kellen Moore’s brain before the play call https://t.co/0Wl6CquvXE
164
241
it's just kinda bitter to think they had the greatest potential they've had in years, and couldn't live up to it
I doubt a fair bit of them will be as mature as you are
Welp I guess that's that for them
Now the media will blame Dak for the lost which (a lot of it was,) but not talking about the real problems,
even kids are gonna know how badly the Cowboys flopped tonight
That game was so sloppy by Dallas
actually ig that explains why I saw a twitter post of someone selling Krabby Patties at the AT&T Stadium
Gosh that’s disturbing
welp, good season guys
now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to make one piece panel edits with Stephen A's face
Tree going nuts on stream. 
I'll actually just give up if we lose to the Steelers
Int
Not as meme worthy when it goes to a good player
Trubisky being the NVP was quality content
TJ Watt is just so good
Thank god Big Ben is washed
Imagine your D making an amazing play like that and doing Jack with it
TJ watt for dpoy
Guaranteed they’re going after Jimmy G or Carr after the season
Carr would be a good pickup
Defensive battle engage
He’s relatively cheap too, only 19 mil
I don’t know why teams want Jimmy G but I’d be glad to see him go
He’s at least an average QB
Makes too many mistakes and he’s made out of glass
And there are a fair number of teams with below average to trash QBs
Yeah but he’s also not going to be cheap
oh god, my dad just called:
Dad: "So how about them cowboys tonight"
me: "be quiet, don't wanna hear about them cowboys anymore"
I can't 

Nice
Hey, at least the Cowboys and Eagles can play golf together.
Eagle Fans
Cowboy Fans
Dude Mahomes is a freak
How he does throw cross body throws and they’re almost accurate is insane
You know what? Screw it, we’re likely getting LAR so let’s just go out swinging

Pit D playing out of their minds rn
Unreal how this is still scoreless with how much they’ve been on the field
No, no scoring allowed. That's the true power of Stillers Football!
Honestly this game would be boring af if I wasn't a KC fan
Thank god the called it
broo
TJ Watt is a freak
Omfg kill me
crazy lol
I'll cry if we lose to the Steelers
This game is already cursed
3-4 chiefs really coming back for the playoffs
Fml
I like McKinnon
Nice run from Mahomes
Now this is more like it
there u go
Let's goooooooooo. Now that's what I'm talking about
Fancy shovel passes never fail us
the beach ball lol
gotta catch that
Great pass. Needed that TD to cement the momentum change
Claypool hurt his arm maybe?
OK I'm happy now. This is the good stuff
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott disparaged fans for throwing bottles, debris at players. Then Prescott was told the fans were aiming for officiating crew. Prescott retracted. “A credit to them then.”
681
3112
😬
Yikes
Lmao
Bruh why did we use a 1st on CEH if we can just have McKinnon
yeah its over
Let's goooo BIG MAN TD
Big guy TD
7th seeds were a mistake
Harris has to have his first fumble now
Steelers pack going up
Or at least the Steelers were
Hmmmm
TD
Bruh
I'm loving this rn tbh
This is over
Now we just need to get out with no stupid injuries
God that's depressing
Like Big Ben wishing the Chargers and Raiders had just kneeled it out
Tree predicted Steelers Eagles SB and both teams end up losing bad today.
The meme curse
OK Defence maybe still try for at least a bit longer
Get this touchdown and pull all the starters
Chiefs are gonna start the 4th with 1st and goal
Might as well give Mahomes his 6th TD
True but I really don't want a fluke injury to fuck us
Nvm that was 3rd and inches but they converted anyways
Omg the disrespect holy shit
Sending Big Ben off with grace.
If I was a Steelers fan. I'd be raging right now
BREAKING NEWS: Travis Kelce has been a better quarterback today than Ben Roethlisberger.
195
Good play call though
Big Ben out here going out like he's Dan Marino.
Should've retired after last year, man.
267
Wow, that was the first time a TE threw a TD pass in a playoff game since the Philly Special a couple years ago in the SB
So do the Steelers draft a rookie QB, trade for someone, or roll into 2022 with checks notes Mason Rudolph and Dwayne Haskins? 
Trade I assume
Apparently they really like Haskins.
Yeah their cap situation isn’t looking great
That’s gonna be roughing the passer
Yup
Ben really choose one more season just to go out like this
At least it isn't a 60 burger.
The KC scoreboard just put up a message that they have run out of touchdown fireworks.
138

Either way, we all know Secret Base will be making another episode of the Worst with Big Ben's last game in 5 years time.
Does this warrant Days of our Steelers or no?
I say a congrats vid.
Oof, D-lineman just dropped an INT thrown right to him
Those don’t come often you chunky bastard, make a play
Think Juju stays?
Fantastic TD by Washington
Good catch
Just Moss’d him
21-42 Chiefs
Maybe. He does seem to like Pittsburg
Loyalty only gets you so far though
I’d test the market if I was him
At the very least consider signing a 1 year deal with a team that actually has a pro QB on their roster
Show what he can do
Got to make that bread while you can
True. Steelers might not pay him as well
Don’t even know if they are in a position to pay him what his play has warranted
Which I would say is probably around 12-15 a year if I’m being nice
True. Injuries didn't help his case either
Like I’m not trying to be a dick when I say he’s not a #1 guy, he’s just proven not to be in my eyes
But he’s a decent #2 imo
But I dunno. The Steelers in for a tough rebuild offensively
No stand out QBs this draft at least makes it easier to commit to other positions
Like I’d say next year’s Steelers are gonna look like the Vikings from the late 00s to early 2010s with AP
Great run O, great defense, shit QB/passing game
Really the defense just needs a QB that doesn't get them put back on the field every 2 seconds
That killed them this game
I mean they’re really gonna need to be hard carried by the rest of the team to have any shot of a winning record, let alone making the playoffs
If I was putting money on it I think lean towards 2022 being Mike Tomlin’s first losing seasons as an HC
Which is insane btw
Hey maybe Mason will have gotten better
@dim kettle oh sweet, we get the early Sunday game at 3
So 49ers and Bengals get the short week
Divisional Round schedule:
Saturday:
- Bengals-Titans: 4:30 ET on CBS
- 49ers-Packers: 8:15 ET on FOC
Sunday
- ARZ/LAR-Bucs: 3:00 ET on NBC
- Bills-Chiefs 6:30 ET on CBS
302
IDK what this FOC is. But it sounds a lot like Fox.
Believe that’s what Packers fans are gonna scream when they get knocked out by the 49ers in the playoffs again

No, it's by law that A-Rod loses in the NFC Championship game.
Although it would be sweet to have a NFC Championship game in Tampa. Been 42 years since the last time.
For real
Oof, Juju with a bad drop
The boos at that timeout is a bit disrespectful
Like chill
You’re gonna win, let him just have his try at getting 1 last pointless TD
That’ll do it
So long to a future HOFer
The not so pretty ending of a NFL career.
End of an era right there
Time for 7-8 win seasons for the next 4 years.
Don't deny the cold reality: The Pittsburgh Steelers fucking sucked this year. Their offense was awful, they only survived thanks to refball, the other teams self-destructing, and splash plays.
They didn't deserve to be in the playoffs and they showed why tonight.
285
BRO COWBOYS GOT HOED SO BAD AT THE END
Yeah that ref should have immediately started running as soon as he saw Dak scramble
Add another bad ref game in a big list of the refs fucking the Cowboys in playoff games.
Nah I gotta be honest that was on the Cowboys. Like a plan that relies on the old ass refs booking it doesn't seem like a good plan.
Also doesn't help Dak gave the ball to the center instead and they both got in the refs way
Dak shouldn't have run down the middle of the field in the first place, true.
Man had to fight through 2 big ass players
cowboys tried to rush it
also the ref attempted to give them the ball they were just playing keep away for some odd reason
straight up a choke job by the cowboys on the last two plays
Cowboys fans will never shut the fuck up about this for ages.
i wish the 49ers would have converted the qb sneak
That Jimmy G pick. All I was thinking was. "Lance couldn't do that?"
Jimmy G was rough the last few drives
got bailed out by the defence and cowboys causing their own demise
Now Jimmy has to go to ice hell. Good luck trying to throw good footballs there.
more of jimmy g just makes some bad decisions for no reason pretty much every game
But clearly Jimmy G gives the Niners the better chance of winning. Right, Kyle?
Really though? If it's only 5% better than Lance then Kyle is overthinking shit.
idk i also don't want to play the rookie qb that's barely played in the playoffs
if they trusted lance he was going to play against the rams
I know, and really, if the Rams didn't choke, Kyle's job should've been done.
If I hit on the cards tomorrow I'll be perfect for first round
It's funny how HCs will over analyze everything when it comes to plays, schemes, players, etc. But they never look at the percentage of success a young QB picked with a high draft pick when he starts day one.
It's like HCs put their fingers in their ears and go lalalalalala
idk i feel like there's just different philosphies on what to do
personally it should be choose based on how the young qb is progressing
get the guy in when he's ready and there's a reasonable schedule for them
no point in throwing a guy to the wolves and just hope he regains his confidence
The problem with that logic is whose there to say that won't happen year 2, year 3, year 4.
idk man not every young qb is ready to start week 1 year 1
if a young qb doesn't win out vs the starter in camp, preseason etc before week 1 then why should he start
Because the young QB has the ability to grow. The other QB does not.
And a fact that the best way whether it's the work force or a NFL player. The best way for a player to grow and learn is hands on experience.
Think about it. Yeah, the Niners beat the Cowboys in the first round. But what does this season really accomplish?
You wasted a year of your potential young QB's contract to be sandbagged by A-Rod next week. (We'll see if that's true).
But if Kyle would've started Lance and he won 6-7 games. You'd know a lot better if he has the tools to be the guy. That's the point of a rookie QB at the end of the day. To see if he can be that guy. But now, you go into the 2022 off season not knowing that much about him.
idk with a raw prospect like lance that still has to develop on a good team i don't mind letting him sit behind jimmy g and learn from him before starting
still has to learn how prepare for an nfl game and develop his skills
What exactly is he learning that's any better than letting him actually get use to NFL defenses?
Did Josh Allen need to be benched a year to learn the ropes? Granted, Lance is more raw. But that only means he needs to see the field more than ever.
yeah fair enough
Also a reminder that the 49ers gave up a lot to get Lance.
for a guy like lance waiting until next season isn't too bad
he's still going to take like a year or two to develop
And that's fine. He doesn't need to be lights out perfect. You just need to see enough to believe that he can be the guy or not.
he's shown at least some flashes in the games he's played. Glad Jimmy g was out for a few games in terms of allowing Lance to play some games
That game against the Texans. That should've been the game Kyle made him the permanent starter. But of course, Kyle just like his playcalling late in games likes to play conservative.
yeah i agree
after the first two games lance was inefficient and he showed a lot of flaws
that had to be addressed plus he also had a minor injury after playing against the cardinals
If Kyle actually had balls, he'd realize that Lance needs a chance to figure shit out. Because whether it's year 1 or year 11, he's gonna have to face adversity.
he's been conservative with playing rookies
this article has some quotes from him on playing rookies
and they are well a bit concerning
Imagine if Bill Walsh drafted all those DBs that helped them win their first SB in 1980 and said. "Yeah, I'm gonna bench them for a year."
Like, are you out of your mind?
The quotes seriously gives me the impression that Kyle runs the roster like a business. Like, when he says, "They don't get snaps because they're not good enough." It sounds like he's saying. "Fuck long term development. the future is here and now." And that's a disastrous thing to have.
Yeesh, just checked out the Eagles SB nation fan page and you already got people asking for Sirianni to be fired
Talk about an ungrateful franchise
Eagle fans will be Eagle fans.
yeah shanahan doesn't see young players as guys to be developed but rather guys to play once the coaching staff deem that they are ready or they have no choice but to play
no idea why they want to fire a rookie coach who just got them into the playoffs
Dude inherited a team that finished with the 6th worst record a year ago and dug them out of 2-5 record (which admittedly he should get some blame for but he is a young, first time HC after all) and got them into the playoffs. I'd say that and the fact that they have 3 1st roud picks this year is a lot to be happy about
The quote that really annoys me the most is him going on about "We weren't drafting ... to replace the starter." You can't do that! You aren't gonna resign every player you can. You gonna have to replace a couple of starters. So you should be drafting for them to replace them and the cycle continues.
Cause you hit on those and your future is bright
yeah teams aren't supposed to be drafting to have guys who could play next year
or are just supposed to be depth pieces
I think it's just being reactionary off of a relatively embarrassing loss
fair enough. didn't even think he was a big reason for the loss in the first place
Same
Because Eagle fans like to overreact. They really should be more concerned about their mediocre QB.
Hurts has got to get better though cause he left huge plays on the field
Dude had Watkins WIDE open deep down field for a TD
And overthrew him somehow
philly should get another qb and have a qb competition in camp
Hurts decision making and long ball are bad. Like, really bad. That Bucs game should be the last time he's a starter in Philly, period.
hurts hasn't earned even being on the team
They could potentially try and take a swing for Watson, I believe they were rumored to be interested in him last offseason
watson isn't worth it for any team
But again, that's all dependent on if his criminal cases get dropped and he can settle his stuff
True
I get the feeling Watson wants to go where Flores will go if he get's a coaching job.
He's radioactive in today's climate rn
I think the Eagles will draft a QB. They could easily move up.
eagles and steelers i see as candidates to move up and draft qb
rudolph and haskins both haven't proven that they can be a starter in the league
The Steelers like Haskins though apparently. They might try him out for a season. Can't be any worse than the 2019 season.
i could see that but personally feels like they'll try to go for a rookie or maybe get a decent qb in free agency
purely from his stats i fail to see why they'd have that opinion
So the Eagles with their loss end up with pick 19, Steelers get 20, Pats get 21, Raiders 22, and the loser of the Rams and Cards game tomorrow gets 23 while Dallas gets 24
So all together Eagles have picks 15, 16, and 19
Not half bad
The fact that he's wearing a very obnoxious looking Cowboys chain makes this pic so much better to me
I believe 10000% he has an expensive vape rig and a souped up civic
I still don't quite understand what happened 100%
Moreso because like
How does one make that mistake
Being a Cowboys fan?
(Apologies to any Cowboys fans in the chat, nothing but love)
One of the nicest people I know is a cowboys fan
Almost made me one
Too bad we aren't close enough to warrant it, I'm sure he would've pointed shit out to me
Anyways
Glad bosa is ok. I may still not know much about NFL
But that boy should be in pro bowl
I'm stunned he didn't get picked this year
Didn't he finish with like 15 sacks in the regular season?
Utterly ridiculous
It was only deebo from the niners right
