Nick Foles sucks. I hope there really aren't any Eagles fans out there talking themselves into thinking this guy can win a Super Bowl.

Also, a guy who NFL teams are inexplicably salivating over to be their coach just suggested the Raiders waste a timeout to ice a kicker with 30 seconds left in the game. A timeout that would be valuable whether or not the kick was good.

Gonna be an interesting test case into how far home field and a great defense can carry a team.

To the Super Bowl (Denver). Philly's defense doesn't seem great enough to go very far.

Not sure if the Ravens realize complaining about their fans not showing up to games (regardless of the circumstance) is a bad look.

On one level, I get it. NYE is a rough day to move back a start time for.

On another though, it's the fucking NFL. You only have to show up for eight games a year and there's a dozen-plus other teams that would be loving to play a home game to get into the playoffs. So suck it up and show up.

That is another consequence, yes. Harbaugh might have looked better had he pointed that out instead.

Hopefully this is going to be like when David Harris got revenge on the Jets by going to New England and doing jack shit.

Doing shit til someone gets injured. We're talking end of the roster depth. Don't really see how you knock that unless your having to cut someone better. Someone is going to have to run out some end of the roster guy for key playoff snaps. Belichicks constant churn and tryouts for those spots is a strong suit.

You're right, how could I even think for a second that this isn't a lock to be another stellar pickup? Even hoping that he doesn't do anything of note is close enough to questioning Belichick that I should be ashamed.

Only point was that David Harris move still looks decent even though he hasn't played much. It's nice to have veteran backups this time of year. Young studs are better but these days those guys get run out as day one starters and even the younger mid round or ufa types get pegged into rotation roles. Methinks it's not the pats fans with the complex.

Please...that signing was framed as another brilliant signing by NE who just takes advantage of dumb teams like the Jets in that instance, but it turns out they cut Harris for a reason.

There are some other horrible Harris plays that aren't included in that video. Without exaggeration, he was the worst player on the field for NE and a big part of why the Steelers could continue to move on offense. Someone did get injured, but David Harris has been terrible.

Maybe Harrison will do well. But until he does, I'm not going to say that it was another fleecing by BB to sign a guy that cleared waivers on a near-minimum contract.

Harris has been pretty much hot garbage, aside from about 4 plays in the Falcons game.

Harrison is just going to set the edge (please) and rush the passer so hopefully, his lack of coverage skillz can be covered up.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Yeah, I can't see Belichick dropping him very often. Of course, that takes away a bit of the predictability to have a player like that and Belichick doesn't seem to collect too many of those. I'd imagine purely pass rushing, based on his lack of edge-setting this season.

I'm just hoping for Pit's sake that he has nothing left. I guess we're about to find out.

Man, these RPO plays get away with some serious downfield linemen. Steelers got away with one in that first gif.

Nope, I was the only person in the world who saw that performance against Dallas Week 17 and thought that Foles might not be the answer at QB.

Have to give him some credit because unlike the Patriots at least the Eagles beat a couple of good teams to make the Super Bowl.
