They did.

 

And Mark Sanchez kept saying Breece Hall should've slid down before scoring the TD. Which is one of the dumbest things I've heard a commentator say.

 

It should go without saying that if your team is losing, you take the TD. There is no guarantee you're going to score after that.

he was right.  They could have made philly use both timeouts and then ran it down and kicked the field goal.  Its the smart play. If hurts was not so inept he wouldhave made them pay, but he is a bus driver who gets really jumpy when hit.

Jacksonville-Detroit Super Bowl. It would be the lowest rated Super Bowl of all time and it could actually happen.

Low rated...yes. But I actually think that would be a decent game.

Jets staying 500 keeps them from getting a top QB next year. 

So actually, I was just trying to make a funny, referencing the Bradley Cooper movie, “Silver Linings Playbook.” Great movie, btw.

Did you watch the game?  Hurts lost the Eagles that game

Yeah and it's stupid. They were losing. Doing something dumb like that is how you get ahead of yourself and lose a game.

 

Yeah, I was simply saying what he meant.  

 

In this case I would agree with you.  If the game were a high-scoring offensive affair however, say between us and the Chiefs, it might make sense.  You'd never want to put the game in Mahomes' hands with 1:46 remaining.  Better to get the clock down as far as you can, then kick a FG.  

 

You know, maybe get it down to :13 seconds.  There's a miniscule chance that you'd lose unless you played absolutely stupid defense.

That jets defense man

They are definitely good.  I think with how the season played out if Rodgers didn't go down they are 5-1 or even 6-0.

Patriots getting a top qb this yr

Yep, it's all guaranteed. They were guaranteed three points. Really no reason to even run the plays. Just run a predetermined time off the clock and skip ahead.

That would be great IF we don't make it. Sick of all the big teams

The two top NFC undefeated teams got taken out by 3rd tier AFC teams.

Both with excellent defenses, decent ground game and game manager level QB play

It'll be Bills vs SF and Bills vs Lions if the refs cheat Purdy like they did today

well 3 from there is as easy as a kick gets.  They also could have run in it for a touchdown on 3rd down having made philly burn their timeouts already.

 

It was a mistake and they got away with it.

[BillsFooteball]

Let’s go bills! Today was NOT a good day. Always root NFC over AFC to benefit bills and today was 0-5

Philly would've stuffed them, or they would've fumbled, or they would've blocked the kick.

 

It was the right move and they won the game with it.

[Warcodered]

You do have to give Saleh credit that Jets team had their season on a nose dive and he got them to care again, or at least you assume he did.

[Livinginthepast]

Hurts was putrid in that game. The INT that led to the Jets go ahead TD was pathetic. The other one was due to the Jets immense pass rush. Still you have to win that game if you're Philly. Weak coaching .

He was not right.

The Eagles would have still got the ball back with about a minute left but then only needing a FG, not a TD.

It's literally what I said. I said Hurts lost them the game against the Jets. Allen cost them the game against the Jets.
