NFL Week 16 Thread

I'd like to thank Joe Webb, Adrian Peterson and Les Frazier. Good looking out for your old team, Les! .

Not going to lie, I wasn't expecting this at all. Brilliant to have the 2nd seed wrapped up going into the final week. Just get Johnny Knox and Matt Forte to 1000 and then rest them up .

Shocking display from everyone involved with the Eagles today. We burn a timeout so can't challenge there.

Challenge what?

It was the correct decision.

This is just one of those games that reid inexplicably has coaching every now and then, he wastes timeouts, refuses to adapt and calls shítty plays for the whole match, while making horrible decisions on 4th down in a 2 score game (punt there, the field goals against chicago when trailing big is another example of this)

Enjoy probably playing the pack in the wildcard, they beat ye with vick in the linc already and could easily do it again if ye play that sloppily

Jesus Christ what a poor performance from EVERY side of the ball.

O line was crap and vick needs to stop taking the hits he is taken.
Djax wasn't himself. How hard is it to realise that the SAME PLAYER is being used on a corner blitz and you need to adjust to stop that ?

The Eagles with Vick put some real hurting on the Packers in that game, though. It'd likely an exciting game, at the very least.

And I agree Py, from what I saw Webb was very boardline on that 3rd down. It definitely was worth a challenge if it had been an option given the amount of time it allowed the Vikings to run off by converting it.

Ah come on, at least give some credit where it is due.

We outplayed you on all sides of the ball, wasn't that you put up a poor performance - we just put up a better one.

You couldn't contain AP, when it counted you couldn't pull down Webb, and our defense confused the crap out of you. On at least 2 of the sacks from Winfields blitzes they were disguised awesomely, only showing at the very last second before the snap.

Now why we havn't been able to do that all season, well thats why Childress was dumped. Here's hoping Lesley Frazier gets to keep the job next season.

Challenge the spot of the ball on the 3rd down conversion. It was short imo but it didn't matter cause Reid is a muppet.

Vikings deserved it 100%, they turned up and the Eagles didn't.

If he insists on playing Vick and Deshaun next week i'll hold my head in my hands.

In response to the last post, the blitzes were well disguised but at the same time you would expect a playoff caliber team with superbowl aspirations to adjust to the Vikings gameplan. We looked anything but a playoff team last night. Credit to the Vikings as they played very well and Joe Webb looked good but that doesn't and shouldn't hide the fact that the Eagles, from top to bottom, were Carolina level bad!!
