2020 NFL: Wk.14 Game Thread

Russell Gage just threw the prettiest deep pass any Falcon has thrown this year - lined up under center (with Ryan out wide) and fired a seed to Ridley for a 39-yard TD.
Sadly, it was a more impressive throw than any made by Cam this year. He whipped that sucker to Ridley.
Robert Mays and Nate Tice talked about Wentz on their pod this past Monday. They'd need someone to risk trading for him and absorbing the 33 million he's getting next year. (They speculated perhaps the Colts might if Reich thought he saw something in him he could fix.) If I remember correctly they could cut him after next season and the cap hit wouldn't be as ruinous as it would be if they tried to cut him this offseason.
He is not cuttable. He is tradeable, if a team is desperate, but the Eagles will not get much back because a team will be taking on that contract and will need to have cap space.
I wonder if the Falcons and Eagles would agree to a Ryan-for-Wentz trade if the dead money on their respective contracts could be absorbed. (I think both QBs are salvageable with the right offensive minds coaching them up; Ryan is better, but he's also much older.)
I think Wentz can definitely have a solid career, but it won't happen in Philly. But I don't understand why Philly would do that with Hurts on the team? Trading for Ryan doesn't accomplish much.
What’s the deal with Fox and the jam bands of late? Lots of Grateful Dead and Phish in the in /out cuts.
I mean, the trade isn't going to happen because (to my knowledge) dead money can't be exchanged as such...but the jury is very much still out on whether Hurts is going to be a serviceable NFL quarterback. Letting him develop under Ryan for a few years and seeing what if anything he turns into wouldn't be a terrible plan.
Mercifully interrupting another anecdote about a Guy Who Knew Kobe Bryant.
Doesn’t CBS have better production notes?
The Saints cannot possibly reach the Super Bowl with Taysom Hill as their starting QB, can they?
I call that the DK Metcalf or the Thielen now. OBJ doesn't deserve the honorific. He is not good anymore. Nobody has gotten more mileage out of a catch in a loss than Odell has.
It's been a 61 degree day today in Philly. It must also be a cold day in Hell because it looks like the Eagles might win this game.
They definitely can. There is no team in the NFC that doesn't have a flaw.
You're right about the latter...but Hill (or Winston) taking all of the snaps at QB may be the biggest biggest flaw of them all, if you follow me.
The two most fun games in this block:
The Colts versus Raiders, which really matters, and the Falcons versus the Chargers, which doesn't at all.

It's really impressive how committed the Jets are to sucking at absolutely every aspect of football.
I've spent far, far too much time wondering if the Falcons could sneak into #7 seed in the NFC by winning out and getting to 8-8. (I mean, it's not going to happen - they still have to play the Chiefs, and also the Bucs twice - but it's not out of the realm of possibility that 8-8 might make the playoffs given the teams lurking just above .500.)
They have the #1 defense and a great running game (including himself). Is he that much worse than Trent Dilfer, Jim McMahon, Brad Johnson and Doug Williams, when you include his running?
The Saints' strengths are probably stronger than those of any other NFC team. But I don't think we've seen Hill play against a good to very good defense yet - I'm pretty confident his worst is yet to come.
With seven seconds left and your kicker having missed two relatively short FGs, why wouldn't you try throwing into the endzone if you were the Jets?
Lofl, Seahawks are playing like shit and I would say they are murdering us but it is more of an assisted suicide. That’s a PNW thing, right?
Needless to say, the Eagles look a lot better with Hurts. What an insane drive, starting at their one hoping to get to halftime.
Instead, a fast 99 yard TD drive.

Every team in the NFC East is going to be within one game of each other after today, aren't they?
I thought Anthony Lynn came off as an incredibly nice guy in his appearances on Hard Knocks. But he is a dreadful head coach.
I like how the studio guys are acting like the Seahawks are playing really well. Jets missed 3 FGs and a a DPI was not called near the goal line that was obvious.
Eagles were at their 1 at the 2:00 warning and they might just get 14 points out of it. Spectacularly bad play and management from New Orleans.
lol the kicker Bailey’s it

nice jogging off the field as they try to fire drill a FG

I think it's Ian Eagle and he sure said it.
"After ALL that," Elliot misses that 22 yarder. Unacceptable.
