Eagles vs. Patriots 9/10/2023

Sore loser? Have you ever even been to Philly?

A few times yes. and yes I am a sore loser. It's hard to lose the competitive spirit when you played sports for many years.

 

[la szum]

I used to be the "fan" who was miserable for days when a team I was attached to lost.

What a miserable way to live life.

I mean, I was not actually out there getting hit and tackling people. But damn, crazy how
religious fandom is around the world. People kill and get killed for this shit. Now with
gambling it seems to have intensified. Your team didn't just lose, but you also lost your
mortgage payment for this month.

No gambling for me. I also don't get all worked up over every single game. Perceived "big games" are what I get into. Football and baseball are 2 things I am very passionate about.

Love it, signed Eagles fan

Aaron Rodgers signed a two year guaranteed $75 million deal. He gets every penny regardless of anything short of full retirement. I wouldn't want to be a Jet fan right now for anything in the world!

It's all your fault. Look at your screen name! In all seriousness I had him pegged for 4 games max. I wasn't expecting 4 snaps.

Anyone who is happy Rodgers went out how he did doesn't truly like football, change my mind. Such a terrible way to end the season and potentially your career

Athletes are paid waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy much.

Eerily similar to Tom Brady in 2008. He'd just come off the 50TD season and then lasted only 2-3 plays in game 1 before tearing his ACL/MCL. He was able to gingerly limp off the field after the play just like Rodgers, so you thought all might be well and then next thing you hear is out for the season.

Absolutely, still doesn't mean we can't have empathy for someone ending a career that they have dedicated their entire life to in a less than ideal way.

Sure there are more tragic things that happened than a millionaire tearing an achilles but you can still feel for the guy.

I am 100% not saying we should have empathy for the guy. I acutally don't know what happened because my GAF for sports is a universe on zero care. But I am saying we put the emphasis on the wrong thing to idolize and pay idiotic amounts of money in pursuit of.

 

[Achilles]

I'm watching the Pats Dolphins game and just noticed something. What happened to the two areas on the sidelines denoted for players and staff of each team? Has that been eliminated this season?

 

[cragginshred]

Bellicheck sure threw a wobbly and about stroked out at the ref on the helmet to helmet call. They should have thrown the Pat out like they did the the bronco for an even lesser heat hit

I agree and I think it should be done every single time in every game no exceptions.

 

[Whizzinby]

At some point the Pats need to spend on an elite WR. They’ve been doing the WR retread thing since Moss, and letting Brady cover the cracks. (same with all the skill positions tbh) Not gonna work with Mac.

Or fade off into the sunset

 

[Achilles]

They discussed it but I don't believe passed it (nor should they imo)

Watching Eagles Bucs and Philly is KILLING Tampa with it!

 

[Achilles]

Patriots have lost their last two games by a combined 72-3. To Dallas and New Orleans - both would have losing records if not for their Pats win.
Bet BB wished he'd retired during the off-season. What a terrible way to go out.
