Your NFC Conference Champeenship Open Thread

Hey, was anyone surprised to read that Joe Judge was an extremely shitty qb coach and that he alienated other coaches and players on the Pats, especially Mac Jones, his primary responsibility? Word has it he’s been relieved of that job but will stay with the team in a reduced role. The pathetic dude will be coaching high school in five years for sure.

/thanks, I needed to get that off my chest

To The Game!

Niners/Eagles:

-San Fran has not allowed an rb to rush for more than 70 yards in 27 straight tilts. This year they allowed an average of only 79 yards per game-but more about that later.

-In what figures to be a close game it might be noteworthy to mention that the Eagles went for it on 4th down 32 times, converting 22 of them-that was good for second overall. Across the aisle, Baby Shanny leans towards old school thinking in that he likes to turn things over to his D, trying to win the field advantage game as well as trying to get turnovers.

-It says on the intranets that a rook qb has never won a Conference Championship game. One of the reasons that Purdy has been successful is that he is more slippery in the pocket than Jimmy G. This takes me back to the Giants ’91 Super Bowl win and the runup to it. When Simms went down he was replaced by Jeff Hostetler who was much more mobile and defenses weren’t able to adjust in time. I think Purdy is benefiting from the same sort of circumstance.

-When Philly has lost they’ve given up some big rushing totals. The Commies beat them and ran for 152, the Cowboys went for 115 and the Saints had 129.

-Under The Radar Guy: Keep an eye on Niners wr Jauan Jennings-if he’s in on 1st or 2nd down they are likely running the ball because he is an exceptional blocker. If he’s around for 3rd down Purdy will likely be looking for him as his nickname is “Third and JJ”.

-Philly was second in the league for explosive pass plays. (gains of 20+ and 40+ yards) Hurts ended up 4th in deep pass DVOA and 5th in completed air yards per pass attempt. The Niners have given up a pass of 46+ yards in their last five games. Some wr’s have had great games against them-Lamb had 117, Davante 153, JuJu 124 and MVS had 111.

-Since week 13 the Eagles have played only one team that has a defensive DVOA better than 16th in the league-in those games they averaged 33.6 points but vs the Saints (#1 overall) they scored a mere 10.

Have at it.

Hey, it’s a Joel McHale show!

Petronel

Normally, I’m happy (well, not really) to wish whoever beats us good luck in the rest of the playoffs. Ya win some, ya lose some. It’s the circle of football.

But, with a P*ts fan in the house and the bad taste of this game still fresh, ain’t happening this time. F*ck the Iggles, and best wishes to whoever survives the upcoming fixture.

None taken.

Senor Weaselo

Maybe the Iggles can join the Phillies losing in the championship. Although whoever comes out of the AFC will be a hell of a lot easier to like than the Trashcans.

Granted, so is my congressperson, and I’m not even sure if he knows who he is at this point.

I’ll be collecting $130 off my $10 Eagles bet, woo!

Congratulations!

$86 and a $60 parlay is half fulfilled

Mr. Ayo

Awesome! Pretty sure I laughed at that bet at the beginning of the season.

Doktor Zymm

If I also win the Bengals one, I’m gonna feel so unjustifiably SMRT when I’m in line to cash them

How come I’ve never heard of Cocaine Bear? It’s gotta be VFX for the bear.

Unless they went method and just got a real bear all coked up.

Mac chose the right fixture to attend

Mr. Ayo

Hey, Shanny, hope you enjoy those 3 timeouts over the offseason.

You could give an NFL blue tent worth’s of narcotics. I will not see that movie.

Brick Meathook

You just have to say the title and you’ve basically seen the whole movie right there.

Dunstan

Make it a double feature with Snakes On a Plane

LemonJello

“Cocaine Bear” is NAWT the movie that Buddy thought it was.

ballsofsteelandfury

Wait, there is an actual movie called Cocaine Bear ???

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I posted about this two weeks ago!

ballsofsteelandfury

I thought you were joking!

Mr. Ayo

To be fair, that’s a reasonable reaction.

Gatoraids

Its a documentary about the 85 Chicago Bears

WCS

Donald Trump made his entire career out of it.

Mr. Ayo

Wait, which one of us are you talking about?

Don T

Pre-baricade with food, drink + screen, say “You’re welcome to our city’s food delivery. Ta”, and write your last will and testament.

Mr. Ayo

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I wish I was one of those Raiders fans that really, really, really hate the 49ers.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Wait, no I don’t. What I really wish is that I wasn’t a Raiders fan.

Psst. Come on over. We have Mahomes.

That slam was fucking brilliant. This game is the worst, but still the best.
