I made a similar post just a few weeks ago. All these borderline penalties just ruin the flow of games. I get it that the nfl wants offense 24/7 but its like defense isnt allowed to even breath on an offensive player anymore 

Family and life has to do with it but some of why I don't watch much unless the eagles are involved anymore is that.  I love defense. All my favorite games from my childhood were defensive games. House of pain game. Body bag game.  Maybe it's because I grew up watching great defense and mediocre offenses.  Eagles used to win games 10-6 back then. I remember a big game they won to make the playoffs 6-0. Lol. 

I know the game changed but come on. My favorite play of the year was that hit the bears put on the Vikings receiver last week. Blew him up. I was out of my seat. And it wasn't even my team. Feels like the NFL want to take that away. If I wanted to watch a 45-40 game I would watch arena football.

My opinion: There are two reasons 

1. I suspect that casual fans are a big part of the 15 -20 year boom in NFL ratings, and I suspect that casual fans like basketball on turf.

2. Legal liability: the NFL knows they are sitting on a poderkeg of liability for concussions.  Basketball on turf is probably safer.

It was like the 6 or 7th missed fg via  hitting the upright this year.  He had 4 in one game.  NBC rolled a tape showing each.  Bizarre.

Very odd. And he made the first kick easily. Those damn 'freeze the kicker' timeouts never work! lol. The Bears will have a new kicker soon.

Foles is pretty awesome. After watching that game I honestly think we would have had a better shot with Chicago, though I'm glad we're not playing the Cowboys - elite LB play is our kryptonite.

Eagles have a tough QB decision to make this offseason.

 

I loved Foles the first time we had him....I was an exception. I’ve never doubted him. Yeah he can get in a funk but so can any good QB. If wentz goes I’m ok with it. Foles is a healthier an. Throw the franchise tag on Foles for a few years and see where we can go. He’s only 29.

Unlikely to happen but i'm rooting for SD. I loved Fouts, Chandler, Joiner, Kelcher etc. The chargers we're a common 4pm game after the skins so i grew into a fan. Defense sucked so they could barely win playoff games. Lol

 I've always liked Rivers so imo he deserves to play in the SB before he retires. Long shot but 2 wins away.
