Me too!! ! believe that most Vikings fans have always liked Kirk and wanted him back. The vocal minority was just that, vocal, and had delusions that they were the majority.

He performed like a top 10 QB in 2022 and a top 5 QB in 2023 and still gets ranked as only a top 15 QB. I think it's because of where he was drafted.

And then....its "the stats are wrong" or they can't give credit where credit is due. It makes no sense.

Eagles coaching completely lost this game. They go for it on 4th and 3 on their 2nd drive instead of taking the points in a 0-0 game. Then they throw the ball on 3rd and 3 with 1:45 left when they were ripping off 9 yard runs all night and after Atlanta calls their final timeout. Then Vic Fangio obviously didn't learn from Miami when they lost to Tennessee last year. They blew a 13 point lead with 4 minutes left playing prevent defense, and he did it again tonight. It never works Hurts was good, Barkley was good, their oline was great, and they were without AJ Brown. The defense is a little suspect, but they weren't that bad, they were bending, but not breaking all night outside the Mooney td and the last drive.
Tbf we didn't have 9 yards runs often. Shaquan had almost 40 yards in the first 3 drives, then 50 the last 3 quarters. Your right, should of been a run, same as jalen should of ran it in before that, as lane Johnson went gorilla mode (which was a penalty because jalen threw it with a linemen downfield, with a wide open lane made by lane......) jalen would of had another rushing TD that play if he was aware. Hurts is a bad QB. He doesn't read shit for shit. Just runs to his option, even when passing, and if he looks to his second option, he's throwing it away or being sacked 8/10 times. He hasn't been in an offense EVER (since HS with Brian Johnson) and had never learned a college offense, or NFL offense. This offense is dumbed down FOR him. He isn't a LEADER ON THE FIELD. proven by the lineman NOT HELPING HIM UP week one. When I saw that, I immediately lost motivation for this entire season.

@@evoman1776 You’re correct, I’m just speaking from a risk vs reward perspective. It seemed like they were running pretty well all night and the tush push is nearly unstoppable. Plus even if you don’t get it you run clock down 🤷🏽♂️.
My QB Jayden Daniels does not look like he is over his skies. He is playing well for the bad team we have. I do agree JD should have played all preseason. Especially with the roster turn over and new coaching staff.
Weird how Cowherd isn’t talking about how Sean McVey, who currently has one of the most injured teams, changed the game by not having his starters play in the preseason anymore. He used to spend whole segments of show TV show blabbering about how smart McVey is.
I think this version of Uncle Colin is much more listenable. He was mostly positive on players/teams and did not try to belabor negative views. There are plenty of commentators trying to make their rep by lambasting certain players. For me it gets old quick. If a big name played crap, fine, tell us what you think he did wrong and move on. I like watching the NFL so I like to hear mostly positive things about great play, not continual/habitual rubbishing of a team, coach or player.
The issue with the penix pick is that cousins didn’t go there to mentor a rookie. And also the 8th pick could have been odunze or bowers or the first defensive player chosen, but instead if cousins is good, that pick will sit on the bench for 3-4 years
TJ Watt is the greatest defensive player in history of NFL. Edge rushers are the 2nd best position for NFL stars in the league. Colin will catch up to this fact eventually
Jared Allen, Bruce Smith, Reggie White, all imposed their will on opponents, Richard Seymour and Aaron Donald double and triple teamed at times...I agree with you.
I absolutely love through the first two weeks that it almost seems like we are reverting to old-school football. Lots of strong running games, defense is playing pretty well especially in the red zone, and not a ton of scoring. I would've thought with the new dynamic kick off would benefit but it almost seems like as that is the only huge rule change this year that would seem to be affecting things. One example would be the Redskins and Steelers both winning by only kicking field goals in weeks one and two
The Falcons are gonna win the NFC as they have the best QB and it isn't even close. Kirk's been clutch the last three seasons. Mayfield....not so much.
We'll find out in 2 weeks ? If it COMES form there OWN DIV"S ? Big [ IF ] . BUT , they play the Chiefs HARDER then most team , now & are NOT afraid of the big , bad wolf , either .And may give Allen & the OTHER so - called young guns a chance at a RING ? BUT, if we was to knock them off . I think WE earned that right , with the head to heads . UNLIKE all those other Mahomes want to be's , couldn't do it !
Relax! It was a great game. Took a great drive to beat them. All this cock-with-a-walk know-it-all hindsight nitpicking behind a keyboard gets tiresome!
@kylegardner6272 There's no "y'all" dork! I quit rooting for one team when I was about 18! I don't care who wins or loses, which is why I can see the game without getting all worked-up!
The decision to go to 17 games was a disaster. Going to 18 is going to cause teams to sit players once they clinch and then the battles for final playoff slots will get determined by teams playing games against backups Total idiocy
Philthy needs a pro caliber QB who can pass and who will not hog the ball and to minimize the better running back in the game. Philthy needs an intelligent head coach. Phlthy is over their heeds.
When Philly went for it on 4th n 3 instead of taking the field goal, that was when momentum switched jerseys. Analytics doesn't factor human emotions, momentum, or will to win. It's a great tool, but it's not everything.
Fr listetning to these analytic dorks who just graduated college instead of basic football etiquette. You should always take your points in the first half
3 of the 4 games this week where the winning margin was 2+ scores (10+ points) were won by teams that literally ran over the other team. The fourth was won by the team, Buffalo, with +3 in turnovers & opposing QB was injured.
“San Francisco got housed by the Vikings” WTF??? Did we see the same game???Minnesota had 4 more yards than SF and 7 less first downs and held the ball for 7 less minutes. The Vikings played better and deserved to win the game but a six point home win is not a housing.
Did you watch the game? Only 6 pts due to letting SF slowly go down and score in last 3 min to use up the clock in a two score situation. That added 90 yards and 3 pts to SF.
Damn Colin, why do you sound so different on your podcast than you do on your show? Feels way more substantive, relaxed, and reasonable in your descriptions of games and players here than on your show. This is way more enjoyable to watch and listen to.
Nick Sirianni knows what he is doing. Philadelphia analytics baby. do you need 3 points on an opening drive? No you dont, you need 7 or nothing. had they gotten that 3 points and this something that Old John Madden would have said 1000 times Take the 3 points here, and it would have had the Eagles up by 9 at the end of the game. but Nick Sirianni likes his Philadelphia analytics. this is how you start a season 10-1 and go down the stretch 1-5! great Job Nick!
Colin loves saying that the 49ers got housed! KC has been outplayed 2 weeks in a row. They were just lucky. Had Barkley caught that pass the whole narrative today would be about the resurgence of Hurts. The media is ridiculous. Nothing matters until the playoffs. The 49ers know that all too well now.
Yeah... The 49'ers got housed. KC was in both contested games, never down by more than a TD. And they WIN those type of games, so no "outplayed" doesn't apply to them. To say they're "lucky" is laughable as they win A LOT of games after trailing, ask SF & Philly about that 😂
Loss for Philly is on coaching, Saquon drop was huge though and that play all was questionable. Playing to prevent defense vs Kirk to end the game wasn’t good either.
And Jalen too. Bring a quarterback whisperer or something, but it’s not clicking for this guy. Trade him, bench him, make him an rb, is doesn’t matter. But we aren’t going forward anymore. This is just legit stupid.
The HC is an idiot. You go for it on 4th and 4 don’t get points. You throw on 3rd down. He could have ran still had a down to do whatever and burn more clock. He will be fired after they flop the season away
@dymtheartist3502 Exactly! All these cock-with-a-walk know-it-all's behind a keyboard who dissect every mistake after a loss. It was a solid game. Eagles were right there and, had Barkley not dropped that ball- who knows. Guarantee that if the Eagles are 10-4 later in the year, all these "experts" will be silent. All these overreactions the first two weeks are ridiculous!
Don’t forget using the penalty yards for the unsportsmanlike conduct against Atlanta on the PAT attempt instead of the kick-off at the end. Putting your team at your own 45 with 38 seconds left, two timeouts in your pocket, and a kicker with a big leg, is pretty much a coaches wet dream scenario for the final drive of the game.
Can we just give defenses credit for these offenses playing bad? We have a lot of young DCs who understand these modern offenses and they are putting together rosters that can compete
9ers Bengals Rams Eagles Pats Falcons Broncos Panthers all lost...Chiefs only team outside of the Bucs who have a new coach defense and qb to make the super bowl since 2016 without a loss...ironic...ravens lost bills lost lions lost browns lost fins lost jets lost....
@@razkable The CHIEFS do NOT have a NEW coach defense ? DON"T know, WERE you come up with that dumb IDEA at ? That is the 1 thing Mahomes HAS , had going for him in the past few years ! Same HC & Same DC in that time period .Some thing MY QB , hasn't had going into his 5th year , now ! Now on his 3rd HC & his 4th OC .
What in the living hell???!!!??? Does the fucking ‘prevent defense’ HAVE TO DO W/THE RELATIVE PRICE OF TEA IN CHINA!!!???!!!… they shouldn’t have thrown the ball .
@@nickytommymancinelli8066 the prevent defense lost them the game. atlanta had to go the length of the floor and score a TD and the eagles invited them to do so
Jayden Daniels played well even though his offensive line had 9 penalties, most were in scoring territory, those penalties is tough on a veteran QB. Washington’s line needs to get their stuff together. Daniels drove the field on the final drive to win the game.
Eagles played a good game and did their jobs for 90% of the game, and lost because both sides of the ball COLLAPSED at the worst possible time. Shit was like a movie 😂
Surprised Sirianni isn't getting more heat tonight, between the decision to go for 4th down on the first drive and the decision to pass the ball on 3rd down at the end. He singlehandedly lost this game for the Eagles tonight. Credit to the Falcons but the Eagles snatched defeat from the jaws of victory
So tired of seeing Nick Inferiani on the sideline. John Madden is a hall of fame coach and he once said, "always take the points early in the game." So tired of counting how many points we leave on the field when we lose in the fourth quarter. They took the offense away from him and he still manages to lose games for us. For the rest of his coaching tenure here (definitely fired at end of year), he should have to wear a clown nose and big clown shoes on the sideline. Maybe he and big DOM arrive on the sideline in a little clown car.
not sure how the eagles get 0 pressure on Kirk when he’s obviously limited on movement. this eagles team is the same as last year, super talented at every level but they can’t put together a complete game in all phases.
I’ve been thinking the exact same thing for the last few years… not upsets but OBVIOUSLY STAGED RIGGED SCRIPTED SICK JOKE KIND@GAMES & finishes, etc. obviously ****the(33)nfl**** the corporate $atanic nfl must’ve came to a conclusion many moons ago thinking: “ok, we’ll legalize gambling & rob the know nothing sheep monkey zzzombiezzz on it, and AT THE SAME TIME??? We’ll stage & script the rigged ‘games’ SO FLAGRANTLY SO OBVIOUSLY that they’ll have no choice but to see the inherent error in their money 🤑possessed ways
Just look at tonight game with them officials when eagles would have big plays in their drives it would come back on questionable calls by them officials to a point those officials have some kind of control of the outcome of scores 🤯🤔🤦🫣🤷🙄
I think the problem for offenses goes deeper. You are right that head coaches should be offensive coordinators. But you are right for the wrong reasons. Offense is in a crisis state. For decades the running game has been complementary. Now the passing game has been reduced to throwing under the coverage. Average yards per catch continues to drop. And as we see this year, scoring in the red zone is getting more and more difficult.
@@RayallwayzI have 3 yards to win the game or if I give up a fg I go to overtime I don’t lose. Touchdown loses both ways there was too much time on the clock for the falcons to move the ball
@@drk2227 it's harder to get a TD than a field goal. You don't get first on 4th down. All atlanta needs is field goal to tie it. You want to blame someone. Blame the defensive coordinator. Who played the type of prevent on the last drive. That gave Atlanta receivers at least 10 yards of separation. Which helped the Falcons get big chunk of yards. And run out to stop the clock.
@@dominicdecoco7950 they couldn't stop a team that needed a TD. No timeouts with under 2 mins left at home. You think being at home would help them in OT. Lol
I don't care of they had 11 in the box RUN THE BALL!!!! And take the points we don't have to go for it every 4th down. So much for the undefeated season😅
Smitty was pushed from behind off his route on that last int. The vall was off by 3 feet, smitty was pressed off right befor his post. Go watch it. If he wasnt BUMPED off his route (PI btw) that pass was perfect, and that safety couldnt come up and catch it, but possibly have a huge hit on smitty. Regardless, that was a PI no call.
It's not just that the offensive starters aren't playing it's also that the wrecking is starting to call all the b******* on the offensive line we need a league that is balanced not just all offense people need to learn to enjoy a good defense

My QB Jayden Daniels does not look like he is over his skies. He is playing well for the bad team we have. I do agree JD should have played all preseason. Especially with the roster turn over and new coaching staff.
Philly pass rush was nonexistent on that last drive.
Belichick coaching with roseman drafting would be insane
The only thing more insane is to have Belichik drafting
Weird how Cowherd isn’t talking about how Sean McVey, who currently has one of the most injured teams, changed the game by not having his starters play in the preseason anymore. He used to spend whole segments of show TV show blabbering about how smart McVey is.
Was looking for this comment
Wait a second. Belicheck went through a second interview and didn’t get the ATL job? Damn, that’s cold.
Horrible clock management by the eagles at the end.
Drake London juked the shit out of Darius Slay on that last touchdown. What a route.
🎯
He is such a tall dude. Holy crap...lol
You gonna take Peyton & Eli’s words out their mouths?!? Word 4 word?!?
Glad I can laugh at his celebration after getting the win. I was mad in real time because of the penalty. The "gun" celebration .LMAO!
I think this version of Uncle Colin is much more listenable. He was mostly positive on players/teams and did not try to belabor negative views. There are plenty of commentators trying to make their rep by lambasting certain players. For me it gets old quick. If a big name played crap, fine, tell us what you think he did wrong and move on. I like watching the NFL so I like to hear mostly positive things about great play, not continual/habitual rubbishing of a team, coach or player.
He moved ‘a little better’?
Hommie balled out. 😂
The issue with the penix pick is that cousins didn’t go there to mentor a rookie. And also the 8th pick could have been odunze or bowers or the first defensive player chosen, but instead if cousins is good, that pick will sit on the bench for 3-4 years
TJ Watt is the greatest defensive player in history of NFL. Edge rushers are the 2nd best position for NFL stars in the league. Colin will catch up to this fact eventually
Jared Allen, Bruce Smith, Reggie White, all imposed their will on opponents, Richard Seymour and Aaron Donald double and triple teamed at times...I agree with you.
I absolutely love through the first two weeks that it almost seems like we are reverting to old-school football. Lots of strong running games, defense is playing pretty well especially in the red zone, and not a ton of scoring. I would've thought with the new dynamic kick off would benefit but it almost seems like as that is the only huge rule change this year that would seem to be affecting things.
One example would be the Redskins and Steelers both winning by only kicking field goals in weeks one and two
Out of all the teams in the NFC South. I trust Tampa Bay to come through they have the most experience and know how to win
The Falcons are gonna win the NFC as they have the best QB and it isn't even close. Kirk's been clutch the last three seasons. Mayfield....not so much.
We'll see how my Saints do against the Eagles, but I want an NFC South team to make it. Sorry Panthers
The NFL teams need to stop a Chief's 3rd SB. Idc who wins.
We'll find out in 2 weeks ? If it COMES form there OWN DIV"S ? Big [ IF ] . BUT , they play the Chiefs HARDER then most team , now & are NOT afraid of the big , bad wolf , either .And may give Allen & the OTHER so - called young guns a chance at a RING ? BUT, if we was to knock them off . I think WE earned that right , with the head to heads . UNLIKE all those other Mahomes want to be's , couldn't do it !
Sirianni has been getting carried by that roster he can’t coach
Cousins executed the 'poor man's Corndog' to perfection. Eagles' coaching staff, once again, can't seem to decipher a game clock.
Many thought Dennis Allen would be on the hot seat, but Sirianni is now officially the coach on the hot seat. Daboll should be too.
Relax! It was a great game. Took a great drive to beat them. All this cock-with-a-walk know-it-all hindsight nitpicking behind a keyboard gets tiresome!
It wasn’t Daboll’s decision to give Daniel Jones the bag. Man has to ride a donkey in a horse race
I don’t think Sirianni lost this game for the Eagles
@@edkiely2712 yall are like 2-7 since being 10-1 and walking around like the Eagles were the greatest thing since sliced bread.
@kylegardner6272 There's no "y'all" dork! I quit rooting for one team when I was about 18! I don't care who wins or loses, which is why I can see the game without getting all worked-up!
The decision to go to 17 games was a disaster. Going to 18 is going to cause teams to sit players once they clinch and then the battles for final playoff slots will get determined by teams playing games against backups
Total idiocy
We are really seeing great games and upsets this year.
Philthy needs a pro caliber QB who can pass and who will not hog the ball and to minimize the better running back in the game. Philthy needs an intelligent head coach. Phlthy is over their heeds.
When Philly went for it on 4th n 3 instead of taking the field goal, that was when momentum switched jerseys. Analytics doesn't factor human emotions, momentum, or will to win. It's a great tool, but it's not everything.
Fr listetning to these analytic dorks who just graduated college instead of basic football etiquette. You should always take your points in the first half
Then reversed it like a sick joke on the final drive which they threw the game on by not running 3rd & 4th w/a 98% win percentage
Can’t let either of these teams hang around
This is going to be a wild season in the NFL
Where did you get 15-23 170 and a touchdown for Kirk? He was 20-28 240 and 2 touchdowns
Weird right? Does he not have the stats right in front of him?
He's probably adding with his fingers. People these days without a phone or a computer. Don't know how to do math
They were Kirk’s stats before the final drive he must have just not picked up the post drive stats
He probably forgot to mention that was before the final drive
@@dominicdecoco7950Of course that’s what happened. He’s giving quick analysis so sometimes this happens. Not a big deal.
Stuff happens to Philly that makes absolutely no sense.
3 of the 4 games this week where the winning margin was 2+ scores (10+ points) were won by teams that literally ran over the other team. The fourth was won by the team, Buffalo, with +3 in turnovers & opposing QB was injured.
“San Francisco got housed by the Vikings” WTF??? Did we see the same game???Minnesota had 4 more yards than SF and 7 less first downs and held the ball for 7 less minutes. The Vikings played better and deserved to win the game but a six point home win is not a housing.
Did you watch the game? Only 6 pts due to letting SF slowly go down and score in last 3 min to use up the clock in a two score situation. That added 90 yards and 3 pts to SF.
Damn Colin, why do you sound so different on your podcast than you do on your show? Feels way more substantive, relaxed, and reasonable in your descriptions of games and players here than on your show. This is way more enjoyable to watch and listen to.
Nick Sirianni knows what he is doing. Philadelphia analytics baby. do you need 3 points on an opening drive? No you dont, you need 7 or nothing. had they gotten that 3 points and this something that Old John Madden would have said 1000 times Take the 3 points here, and it would have had the Eagles up by 9 at the end of the game. but Nick Sirianni likes his Philadelphia analytics. this is how you start a season 10-1 and go down the stretch 1-5! great Job Nick!
"Owners are richer than ever" a very interesting take
Colin loves saying that the 49ers got housed! KC has been outplayed 2 weeks in a row. They were just lucky. Had Barkley caught that pass the whole narrative today would be about the resurgence of Hurts. The media is ridiculous.
Nothing matters until the playoffs. The 49ers know that all too well now.
Yeah... The 49'ers got housed. KC was in both contested games, never down by more than a TD. And they WIN those type of games, so no "outplayed" doesn't apply to them. To say they're "lucky" is laughable as they win A LOT of games after trailing, ask SF & Philly about that 😂
My QB Jayden Daniels does not look like he is over his skies. He is playing well for the bad team we have.
Yeah he's my rookie of the Year
The reason the NYGiants let Barkley “walk away” was dropped right in front of us…lol. Catch the ball!
Odd you don’t mention The Buccaneers who just beat Lions at Detroit… and are 2-0… strange ommission!!
Jalen continuing where he left off last year. Just throw it up for grabs.
Loss for Philly is on coaching, Saquon drop was huge though and that play all was questionable. Playing to prevent defense vs Kirk to end the game wasn’t good either.
And Jalen too. Bring a quarterback whisperer or something, but it’s not clicking for this guy. Trade him, bench him, make him an rb, is doesn’t matter. But we aren’t going forward anymore. This is just legit stupid.
Colin is so ignorant,Eagles have zero pass rush,their own local podcasts said that before the season,lol to mediocre teams.
suddenly..in hindsight Darnold is a vet..after years of being called a bust!!!!!
Rise Up baby!!!!!
Colin doesn't believe poor people exist
Hurts was running for his life even tho he had 30 minutes to pass every play o line wasn’t the problem
I definitely agree with the Penix learning from Cousins. Hopefully injury will spare the falcons and the plan comes to fruition
Aaron Rodgers sat behind farve, Mahomes sat for a year behind someone, Jordan love sat behind Rodgers, Penix will benitfit from Kirk
My Chargers took care of business in Carolina. Look forward to playing against the NFC South this year. On to Pittsburgh.
Drake Maye sitting behind Jacoby is smart too
The HC is an idiot. You go for it on 4th and 4 don’t get points. You throw on 3rd down. He could have ran still had a down to do whatever and burn more clock. He will be fired after they flop the season away
U kno he’s not the play caller rite? Outside of tht field goal attempt in the first nick was fine 🙄🤦🏾♂️😭
@dymtheartist3502 Exactly! All these cock-with-a-walk know-it-all's behind a keyboard who dissect every mistake after a loss. It was a solid game. Eagles were right there and, had Barkley not dropped that ball- who knows. Guarantee that if the Eagles are 10-4 later in the year, all these "experts" will be silent. All these overreactions the first two weeks are ridiculous!
Don’t forget using the penalty yards for the unsportsmanlike conduct against Atlanta on the PAT attempt instead of the kick-off at the end. Putting your team at your own 45 with 38 seconds left, two timeouts in your pocket, and a kicker with a big leg, is pretty much a coaches wet dream scenario for the final drive of the game.
With some HELP, with that NEW OVER PAID RB , he has playing the QB spot !
@@dymtheartist3502 nah the HC don’t call the plays Kellen do
Can we just give defenses credit for these offenses playing bad? We have a lot of young DCs who understand these modern offenses and they are putting together rosters that can compete
WHERE COLIN WAS WRONG 😂
lmao
9ers Bengals Rams Eagles Pats Falcons Broncos Panthers all lost...Chiefs only team outside of the Bucs who have a new coach defense and qb to make the super bowl since 2016 without a loss...ironic...ravens lost bills lost lions lost browns lost fins lost jets lost....
Should be the name of his whole show. Dude be wrong 85 percent of the time.
Faaaaaaacts@@b-gamer340
@@razkable The CHIEFS do NOT have a NEW coach defense ? DON"T know, WERE you come up with that dumb IDEA at ? That is the 1 thing Mahomes HAS , had going for him in the past few years ! Same HC & Same DC in that time period .Some thing MY QB , hasn't had going into his 5th year , now ! Now on his 3rd HC & his 4th OC .
the "prevent defense" strikes again!
What in the living hell???!!!??? Does the fucking ‘prevent defense’ HAVE TO DO W/THE RELATIVE PRICE OF TEA IN CHINA!!!???!!!… they shouldn’t have thrown the ball .
@@nickytommymancinelli8066 the prevent defense lost them the game. atlanta had to go the length of the floor and score a TD and the eagles invited them to do so
What’s worse thinking your good, being good and then still losing. Or thinking you have no chance not playing well and then losing a close one.
Jayden Daniels played well even though his offensive line had 9 penalties, most were in scoring territory, those penalties is tough on a veteran QB. Washington’s line needs to get their stuff together. Daniels drove the field on the final drive to win the game.
Instead of 17 games; just add a second bye and play the SB on Presidents’ Day weekend.
Bingo
1 less PRE - SEASON game, also !
Eagles played a good game and did their jobs for 90% of the game, and lost because both sides of the ball COLLAPSED at the worst possible time. Shit was like a movie 😂
Surprised Sirianni isn't getting more heat tonight, between the decision to go for 4th down on the first drive and the decision to pass the ball on 3rd down at the end. He singlehandedly lost this game for the Eagles tonight. Credit to the Falcons but the Eagles snatched defeat from the jaws of victory
Makes me feel a little better knowing the Giants are still only 1 game back
So tired of seeing Nick Inferiani on the sideline. John Madden is a hall of fame coach and he once said, "always take the points early in the game." So tired of counting how many points we leave on the field when we lose in the fourth quarter. They took the offense away from him and he still manages to lose games for us. For the rest of his coaching tenure here (definitely fired at end of year), he should have to wear a clown nose and big clown shoes on the sideline. Maybe he and big DOM arrive on the sideline in a little clown car.
Sirianni is a certified bozo. If they moved on from Dougy P after he won a SB then they should drop this jive turkey like a hot rock
San Fran got housed by the Vikings? This guy just makes up narratives and rolls with them
@6:46 you guys make football sound so dirty 😂
not sure how the eagles get 0 pressure on Kirk when he’s obviously limited on movement. this eagles team is the same as last year, super talented at every level but they can’t put together a complete game in all phases.
Everyone’s beating Carolina twice😂. Pass that along to Chad and Simon.
I’m starting to wonder if legalized betting is the reason for so many upsets?
I’ve been thinking the exact same thing for the last few years… not upsets but OBVIOUSLY STAGED RIGGED SCRIPTED SICK JOKE KIND@GAMES & finishes, etc. obviously ****the(33)nfl**** the corporate $atanic nfl must’ve came to a conclusion many moons ago thinking: “ok, we’ll legalize gambling & rob the know nothing sheep monkey zzzombiezzz on it, and AT THE SAME TIME??? We’ll stage & script the rigged ‘games’ SO FLAGRANTLY SO OBVIOUSLY that they’ll have no choice but to see the inherent error in their money 🤑possessed ways
Just look at tonight game with them officials when eagles would have big plays in their drives it would come back on questionable calls by them officials to a point those officials have some kind of control of the outcome of scores 🤯🤔🤦🫣🤷🙄
@@carlosgarcia9097 Could be!
I think the problem for offenses goes deeper. You are right that head coaches should be offensive coordinators. But you are right for the wrong reasons. Offense is in a crisis state. For decades the running game has been complementary. Now the passing game has been reduced to throwing under the coverage. Average yards per catch continues to drop. And as we see this year, scoring in the red zone is getting more and more difficult.
Up 6 w almost 2 full minutes on the clock does nothing for me have to go on 4th and 3
When you don't get the first. Now they have the same amount of time just to get in field goal range.
@@RayallwayzI have 3 yards to win the game or if I give up a fg I go to overtime I don’t lose. Touchdown loses both ways there was too much time on the clock for the falcons to move the ball
@@drk2227 it's harder to get a TD than a field goal. You don't get first on 4th down. All atlanta needs is field goal to tie it. You want to blame someone. Blame the defensive coordinator. Who played the type of prevent on the last drive. That gave Atlanta receivers at least 10 yards of separation. Which helped the Falcons get big chunk of yards. And run out to stop the clock.
@@Rayallwayzeven if they tie it up, Philly are at home - drive the field for the win or win it in OT
@@dominicdecoco7950 they couldn't stop a team that needed a TD. No timeouts with under 2 mins left at home. You think being at home would help them in OT. Lol
two possible explanations: Falcons are suddenly a stout offense OR Eagles defence is still a basket case... I know what I believe!
🗑
A little of both but more Eagles defense is Swiss cheese and Falcons are finding their way
I don't care of they had 11 in the box RUN THE BALL!!!! And take the points we don't have to go for it every 4th down. So much for the undefeated season😅
Slay got cooked!!
Eagles HC says, “Eagles fans will forget this game and move on to the next.”
Smitty was pushed from behind off his route on that last int. The vall was off by 3 feet, smitty was pressed off right befor his post. Go watch it. If he wasnt BUMPED off his route (PI btw) that pass was perfect, and that safety couldnt come up and catch it, but possibly have a huge hit on smitty. Regardless, that was a PI no call.
It's not just that the offensive starters aren't playing it's also that the wrecking is starting to call all the b******* on the offensive line we need a league that is balanced not just all offense people need to learn to enjoy a good defense
Also people forget that a 21-24 game was considered high scoring, there is some sloppy play for sure but games didn’t use to be shoot outs every week
