Steelers over KC the last unbeaten team
-
yeah it's just odd to me to not have any unbeaten teams at this point.

Yes, KC has been alone for a few weeks. Pats won ugly today after disallowing Jets TD. I thought it was a good TD

Same here, it was a TD. Horrible call by the refs.

I heard someone talking yesterday about the cause of more and more season-ending injuries like ACL tears being a result of the week to week training becoming less and less vigorous.
Franchises are more worried about practice injuries and player safety, but the result is they are less conditioned and big explosive plays during games are creating more issues. -
We should do an IH fantasy league again next season, like the one we had a few years ago…
-
He sure did. Wonder what happened to the guy?

Throw that formula into a high contact sport and it's a recipe for injuries.

To add to what @Alex was saying, watch any NFL game and what are 99% of the players doing when they aren't in the game? Sitting or standing. Then when it's their time to be on the field they go in, on cold legs, and are required to make quick, explosive movements. It has always blown my mind to see wide receivers standing around between down sets only to go in and run routes at all out sprints. Of course you strained a hamstring, you just tried to repeatedly stretch the giant rubber band in the back of your leg after letting it cool down for the past 10 minutes. For a lot of teams this 'stop and go' style of activity only gets worse as the season progresses and more tired and battered bodies are playing in cooler and cooler temperatures.
-
That was a big time ass kicking. So much for the best defense in the league. The Pats will have their hands full with Philly.
-
@steelworker I tought the same, I´d be at least a little worried to step on the Field against a Team that did such a Massacre the Game before.
-
Thinking of backing the Eagles for +4.5 on the points spread tonight, any thoughts? My other options were over 48 total points, or Alshon Jeffrey for an anytime touchdown.

All of the Patriots Super Bowls have been pretty close. I can’t imagine Nick Foles has another fairy tale game,I’m almost never ever right about these things. Unless you have a really strong opinion and would feel bad if you were right and didn’t get paid. I’d keep my money in my pocket. The initial betting was on the Eagles to win without the points, but shifted to the point spread. Good Luck!
-
Jesus, putting money on the Eagles to win the Superbowl would feel like selling what's left of my soul.
Trying to set that hatred aside, I'm still not sure that's a good bet. I might put money on the over, though…
-
that was a game for the ages. See you all at the parade!
-
yeah try to avoid the looting, destruction of property, arson and sexual assault.

Pats' D abysmal as it has been all year. Brady's stats head spinning , a loss in what has to be one of his last championship games.
As for not playing Butler, who won the Lombardi for them and is one of their best defenders well that's the Sage of Foxborough for you.
Hope you played your wallet @Chris , after a Catholic education I can tell ya soul is overrated.
Philly fans were fairly civilized post game, it would have been much worse had Eagles lost.
definitely looked like they wanted it more.
