Back shoulder throw.
Rodgers and Brady have torched teams on those throws for over a decade. Romo too.
It's almost impossible to stop unless there's coverage up top and the DB doing the trail technique.
I wonder why you don't see them more often in games.

Then why'd they give up 44 points at home to the Chiefs a few short weeks ago?
You can pick one poor game from pretty much any quality team in any season but on the whole their D has been excellent. Did Bosa miss the Chiefs game? Maybe he didn't but I thought he missed a game or two this season without looking it up.

These prime time game threads are some of the most unintentionally hilarious things on the internet. :muttley:

Bring on the second half.

Eagles' defense isn't god enough to win the Superbowl but those claiming Hurts is a Jag are smoking some weird stuff. He's one of their best players and knocking on the door of being a legit top 10 QB in the league.

And if you go by the sportsbooks, he's one of the leaders for MVP or Offensive Player of the Year.

let that D try to win the SB when that offense is scoring 13. They got ripped agaunst the chiefs... you think 13 is holding up against the chiefs? Dalton isnt Mahomes.
No I don't think 13 points will hold up against the Chiefs.

Why is it silly? Their run defense isn't good enough to win the Superbowl it gets gashed open in most games and earlier in this game they potentially had a serious injury to one of their best players in their secondary. The D just gave up 20 points to the Packers in one half - an offense that has struggled to score 20 points in each of their last 6 games. Not really a silly statement if you actually think about it.

Over the course of the season Eagles rank top five in defense--both in points and in yards. One crazy game doesn't make their D garbage.

49ers defense is the cream of the crop! Their LBs are insane.

I think they are the team most equipped in the league to slow down the Philly offense. They can stop the run and their LBs are great in space and would shut down some of these Hurts' scrambles.

I think we have a really nice D ourselves but I don't think we have the LB play outside of Parsons to consistently handle what Philly would throw at us with Hurts' RPOs, runs, etc.

They are on a 4 game run now. They are allowing 0 points in the 2nd half since the run. They are good.
Their 4 game streak is against the Rams (sorry), Cardinals with no Murray, Saints (sorry) and the Chargers. 3 weak arse teams.... but ok.
