Early Games Thread 12/18

4skins mailing it in. No excuse for losing to that team. Shanny looks like a goner.

So lions go for it on 4th down near the goal line rather then kick a short field. So they score and then skip the kick after the touchdown and went for 2.

You know the Cowboys USED to do stuff like that! How many of you honestly think that Garret would not of just tried the field goal? And how many think he would of even considered that he would even remotely considered going for 2? Aint happening here in Cowboy Land folks. At best that would of been a field goal. Garret just doesnt have the guts to ever follow that concept.

IMO the conditions suck for kicking. They will not clear the field for ball placement and the kicker could easily slip when planting his foot to kick. The higher percentage of success is going for first down and or going for two point conversion.

That isn't about guts. It is about the situation. There is no solid footing for the kicker and the ball is very slippery for the holder.

Sounds like you almost want that happen.

Surely that is not true though.

I don't want it to happen. It's just annoying to constantly see homer posts trying to invalidate player accomplishments. Foles has had a good season. Not sure why it has to be such a point of contention.

And by the way I didn't say anything about losing. I couldn't care less if we win and our defense gets ripped. Our defense is horrendous and being shredded wouldn't change a thing just be a kick in the sack for some of the homers.

Were it not for half a foot of snow on the ground, the Lions would have kicked as well. Same reason they went for 2.
 
I hope the Skins lay down for us like they are for the Chiefs
 
Eagles running all over the place now. Not good if the Lions can't stop it.
 
Suh is a POS. I have zero love for the Eagles but swiping at the QB's throwing arm like that after the whistle blows is inexcusable.
 
Man the Rams are loving life. Wash pick a top 5, maybe ends up top 3.
 
the conditions in philly letting up a bit, and the eagles actually sustaining a drive. looks like we will get some points in this game. hopefully for the lions too if they can stop turning it over.

I'm still surprised they're not even attempting extra points. This isn't the first NFL game in the snow.
