We both know the odds of that kind of injury happening again in the game were slim to none if events transpired differently.
Someone posted this quote on a post about how Brady will be thinking about the Cowboys in retirement since they were the last team to beat him:
Tom now has more retirements than Dak has playoff wins.
The odds were slim-to-none against it happening in the first place. That muffed call by the refs wouldn't have made any difference in the outcome...or it would have. No way to know.
I believe currently Dak Prescott has two playoff wins, so it's a tie with Tom Brady retirements.
Dak Prescott is Kirk Cousin's. Plays well in the regular season, wilts when the lights shine bright. Aside from getting a better second receiving threat, I'm not sure what else they can do to help him. They have a decent O-line, and a decent defense. At some point, you just have to perform.
The Rams broke the bank, and their future, to win a Super Bowl. I think this was worth it from a team perspective. Sure, you'll suck for the next 5 years, but you did something extremely difficult that some teams still have not accomplished. This may be what is needed to get Prescott over the hump. But it's a double edged sword, and no guarantee you will win. Considering the Cowboys are a decent team already, it's questionable how much better they can get by breaking the bank to get better players.
Jerry Jones implied this was what the Eagles have done (break the bank to win at all cost), but I beg to differ on that front. The Eagles have a good young nucleus, though they do have some aging players. What invalidates what Jone said is the fact that the Eagles have a good young nucleus as well as decent draft pick status. In the upcoming 2023 draft, the Eagles will have two first round picks, as well as a second and third round pick. They don't have much in the way of mid-round picks, but it's usually the first four rounds where most players are found. In the 2024 draft, they have practically all their picks including two second rounders and two fifth rounders. And they don't have any trade commitments on any of their 2025 draft picks and beyond at the moment. They are not in the salary cap hell they experienced when Carson Wentz forced a trade. They're in great shape for the future.
Cheer up Cowboys. If the Eagles win another Super Bowl, Dallas will hoist the Lombardi trophy. Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert, who is named for the Dallas Cowboys.
You're done because you haven't done anything; you failed at making any point. You singled out 2 guys out of 3, SINGLED OUT.Yawn. Still salty, still wrong. I'm done continuing this waste of conversation.
Looks like Russ is getting kicked out of the kitchen
Well, he's not exactly a loser like Bitek makes out. He guided his team to 12 wins in a row without the use of his first and second string QB.
And your last sentence there is absurd. A head coach is responsible for one person's actions only that being his own.
Man, get real. When Purdy was knocked out they were doomed. Admit it.Ever a bridesmaid, never a bride.
I think he's a great coach. Broncos messed up passing on him as the hometown kid and all the connections to the organization, and he took it elsewhere to create some good teams, meanwhile Donkeys have had a carousel of clowns and losing seasons.
That being said, what's not tolerable is the crying and excuse making by the fans and the players. All the stupid conspiracy crap.
CMC is the latest. Crying that it was "stolen." Ok, Trump...
No. 9ers epically choked and got their ass handed to them six ways from Sunday.
Man up. Learn. Adjust. Get better or get out.
I'm moving on to watching the Eagles hopefully beating the hell out of the Chefs.
True dat. Still think the Birds would have won anyway, but who knows?Man, get real. When Purdy was knocked out they were doomed.
WTF are you on about here?I think the league wants Sirianni to win because of some..."business receipts" they have a vested interest in obtaining.
WTF are you on about here?
True dat. Still think the Birds would have won anyway, but who knows?
Some writers questioned Sirianni's hire as a social injustice matter of whether someone of a protected class with similar qualifications was discriminated against.WTF are you on about here?
NFL owners go out of their way to extend opportunities to white coaching candidates. A case in point is the former Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni, who was on vacation in mid-January when he was called to interview to be the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. But Sirianni had a big problem: He didn’t have a suit for his interview. That, apparently, did not disrupt the chemistry between him and the Eagles. According to a local reporter, the team brass wore casual clothes to put Sirianni at ease. Within days, the team announced that the 39-year-old Sirianni was the new coach.
Another press conference that quickly turned into a mess was Eagles new head coach Nick Sirianni’s press conference. Long
story short Sirianni was rambling, and you can tell quickly he is way over his skis. Sirianni said this at his press conference “We’re going to have systems in place that are easier to learn. Alright, complicated to the defense or offense that they’re going against, or the special teams group they’re going against, but easy for us to learn. Because when we can learn our system, and we can get good at our system, then our talent can take over.” (Sykes II). It gives me a headache just to read that quote.
Yeah, you don't. 9ers had the best D in the league and fantastic O players, a 12 game win streak. They may well have won. And that dumb missed call didn't help, the league has to stop that shit.True dat. Still think the Birds would have won anyway, but who knows?
Uh, the Birds ran all over "the best D in the league." So, there's that.Yeah, you don't. 9ers had the best D in the league and fantastic O players, a 12 game win streak. They may well have won. And that dumb missed call didn't help, the league has to stop that shit.
Your O can't stay on the field, your D is gonna tire. And? They WERE the best D in the league when they had an O.Uh, the Birds ran all over "the best D in the league." So, there's that.
Cupcakes suck; an example of how too much sugar makes something unappetizing. Beefy 5-Layers from Taco Bell used to be a favorite.I don't know you irl, but it appears to me that you may simply have too much time on your hands. To clear your (torn) mind, go outside, take a walk, gaze lazily at the sky, think only about burritos and cupcakes.
It's the new "thing" I think because of how stupid our population is getting. Now you have a percentage of NFL fans who think everything is scripted.WTF are you on about here?
