...Boonie "I play chess against myself"...Jeremiah "somehow somebody still lost". Hahah you guys are such good friends and so fun to listen to! Keep going!
A few weeks ago a.j. Gets frustrated for not being involved enough (because he wants to help the team win), he gets flamed for it. He finds a way to deal with frustration during a game and gets flamed for it. He’s been a great team leader and great with the media. People just need shit to talk about.
Good to see the boys together to make my Monday morning tolerable! I'm starting to believe that Jayden Daniels is the generational talent that everyone thought Trevor Lawrence would be.
Jayden Daniels reminds me a lot of RG3, amazing rookie year but you could tell he wasn't going to last long given the volume and severity of the hits he takes
I’m not sure why so many think this. Is Hurts throwing for 300 with 2 TDs and 2 INTs better than throwing for 130 and 2 TDs. Eagles basically had 29 points if Saquan chooses to run for the TD at the end of the game. Certainly could work on some but not overly concerning
I unfortunately don’t think the Vikings d line or o line are even on the same level as the Eagles. I’m afraid the Vikings if can play well tonight and win would get bullied by the Eagles.
@richardcampbell9892 Seems like a double standard. I can't remember which game but there was an inadvertent, non-forcible touch by a defender of a facemask and it cost 15 yards.
AJ is doing it to troll the media. I seriously think it's his favorite pass time. Just start a conversation about some stupid stuff. He was asked if he felt frustrated his response "Why do you guys always think I'm frustrated"
Hurts and Love both looked mediocre. Both have huge contracts. The step down in play from the elite QBs is massive, but the contracts are almost the same. Hurts, Love, Prescott, Cousins. Examples of why you don’t sign guys like Darnold to big money, long term deals. Unless they can elevate the team in the playoffs, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. Vikings should roll with JJ and hope he becomes elite. Worst case, he demonstrated competent play and upside in his rookie training camp and will be on a cheap contract to build around.
JS is 100% corrcet. It's a lot like winning your high school (or college) conference. It's some thing legitimate to take pride in. I see ur point, but there's no way I'm going to be a butt-hurt bandwagon b!#@ pretending to know s#!% about the NFL if I didn't point out that a division is a division...the reason it earns a bye is that it has to mean SOMEthing to triumph over you local, most hated, rivals...at keast. We often see wildcard teams with better records than division winners, this year is just an extreme example of what happens most years. But balance this to all divisions in all years. This system rewards division winners and only rarely (seems to) penalize excellent division runners-up. The 1997 Denver Broncos have spoken.
I feel like the self help book move was a bit tongue in cheek and a troll because he wasn't getting receptions, but that could come back to bite them in the future.
Yes. Cowboys were 2. Packers were 7. Yes you being silly. It has only been there since 2017 or so. Philly vs. GB had potential. That fumble was an emotional killer.
The Herbert slander is ridiculous. That Charger team completely over-achieved this season. He was pressured on over 50% of drop backs Saturday and look at who he is throwing to. You guys are better than this
Eagles game cliff notes..The most physical team..went to a bar..drank natty light and bottom shelf booze. Picked fights and walked out of a bar without a blood stain on their clothes. It wasn't pretty and proper, but it was a good night!
@vikings_fans_anonymous In 11 career postseason games, Fran Tarkenton threw 17 interceptions and 11 TD passes. His passer rating was 58.6. And Minnesota won 6 of those games! Herbert is still a very good quarterback. IIRC, Mackey opined before the season that Herbert would make the Vikings much better but the salary cap contract side wouldn't allow it.
I'm sorry, you can't call Philly best in the NFL. They should have absolutely SPANKED Green Bay but only manged to hang 19 on the Packers' D. Their pass game is garbage even with the > 40 yard plays. If the Green Bay offense was playing up to their potential, I think we would be having a different discussion. A fumble, two picks, etc.
“If the Green Bay offense was playing up to their potential, I think we would be having a different discussion.“ Guess what? It doesn’t work the way you want. You have to win the game. Go dunk your cheese.
Don't forget this was Hurts first game in 3 weeks. He clearly looked timid and hesitant with throws and especially running. Next game they should be back to full form and are as good as anybody when they are. Hopefully, they are able to fill some of Nakobe Dean's spot. Bummer, he got hurt. Had a remarkable season. Go birds!
Jeremiah: “That’s an offense that regardless of what happened this week, I’m still terrified of what they can do at any moment.” Thanks for a reasonable analysis of the Eagles. Of course I’ll be reporting you to TH-cam for flagrant sensibility. Sorry, but it’s against the rules here. But I do like two of you guys.
Since they already lil step brother slapped the Rams this year, I'm praying they get the Vikings so they can Bully the Vikes and show Mackey his team is a bit fraudulent, and that the Eagles are THE BEAST OF THE EAST!!! Give us the LIONs we want to go in the DEN and take the crown.
I am with you on not changing the playoffs seeding. Washington and GreenBay would have been home games as well as Minnesota and for me that gives the Division titles 0 meaning. Keep it the way it is.
All the chargers helmets look huge and different. Ladd and bosa are the easiest examples. I tried googling if they're different but couldn't find an answer. And its not the Wes welker extra padded anti concussion helmet. But chargers helmets look different. Like a flat back and then the front comes almost into a sharp bill type deal
Jeremiah‘s argument about “earning the division win“ doesn’t make any sense if the rest of your division is dog trash and it’s not hard to win it. The Texans were gifted the AFC south meanwhile, Green Bay was third in their division and probably could’ve won the AFC south and the NFC West and maybe a couple other Divisions.
So you want to move the Packers is what you're saying. Will playing in a bad division help Green Bay NOT suck in the playoffs then? Maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place. Did that ever occur to you? Or can't you see the forest for the cheese?
Eagles looked great overall but there 3rd down conversions were atrocious against the pack, might be a bit of an Achilles heel for the powerhouse team.
Can any of these NFC teams challenge the Lions at this point? I thought perhaps TB, Philly, or the DeadSkins but after this weekend.....eh......dahn-know....
23:21 if a 14 win team places 2nd in their stacked division, they shouldn't be penalized because other divisions aren't as good. Division winners should be guaranteed a playoff spot but seeding should be decided by win percentage
@ I’m gonna need a better argument than “just win your division”… that’s not enough to change my mind that a 10 win team should not be hosting a 14 win team, there’s zero logic there
Dumb Football Question: Why is it illegal for a defensive player to put his hands into the face of the offensive player but not illegal for a RB to stiff-arm a safety in the face mask? Either both are legal or both are illegal.
Are you crying because Dallas Goedert hurt that little boy's feelings? You should watch football. The stiff arm is used all the time. Just look at the NFL's highlights to see how it's done. Since you have never seen a game before I'll let you in on a secret, the NFL are the ones who made and enforce the rule. And since you've never seen a playoff game, the refs let them play which is how Green Bay got away with holding and hitting an Eagles receiver TWO FEET before the ball got there. Go cry in your cheese beer.
Do they? You've watched every game? Or did you see a quarterback coming off his first concussion and hadn't played in 3 weeks? Remember, when did your QB get to the Super Bowl?
Philly? No...not the best. They should have DESTROYED the Packers based on how shitty the Packers played but the Pack held them to 19 pts. Detroit and MN offense is much better than Green Bay
You can't even read the score? The Eagles put up 22 ONLY because Saquon felt sorry for the FudgePackers and slid to end the game. You did watch the game, right? Because nothing you've said anywhere is true or even has a semblance of sense to it. Or can't you see the forest for the cheese?
Love you guys but the Sirianni attacking fans is way overreacted by national media. He was interacting with the fans like he does every game (friendly). The fans before the game were telling him to run the ball today, after the game he went over to the fans to high five after the win and when he got to that group he said (how was that running game) playful and the camera caught it and then the national media just buried him. Dude is a good coach and the players love him. Im surprised you guys ran with it being ex players knowing its a nothing burger!
Without divisions, the schedules could be much fairer. Play every conference rival every season, alternating location. Seed 1-5 and give a bye week to 1, 2, and 3. Traditional rivalries wouldn't die and new ones would develop.
I love your show guys, but AJ BROWN has thought of suicide in his younger years...LET THAT MAN GET HIS MIND RIGHT,ANYWAY HE SEES FIT,enough with the NEANDERTHAL thinking..its 2025! Have a great day!😊😊
Good point! The Ravens HUMILIATED the Eagles earlier this season!! They only gave up 1 touchdown until 3 seconds left in the game simply because they were running out 30 MINUTES of clock. AGAIN. YEAH! Excellent reasoning.
AJ Brown reads that book every game, there are pictures of him with the book vs Baltimore, and vs Washington.

Hyped for these playoffs!!
21:33 we wanted Mahomes vs Herbert to be Jim Kelly vs Dan Marino… it’s turning into Marino vs O’Brien…
Mahomes has no rival.
There's no preventing what is to come...
Cowboys are the only 2 seed in history to ever lose to a 7 seed.
Shocking. HAHAHA
I thought the eagle were not impressive yesterday lots of bad throws
I’m not sure why so many think this. Is Hurts throwing for 300 with 2 TDs and 2 INTs better than throwing for 130 and 2 TDs. Eagles basically had 29 points if Saquan chooses to run for the TD at the end of the game. Certainly could work on some but not overly concerning
Thank you, we'll take that under advisement.
Excellent anslysis men!
I think whoever wins tonight beats the eagles next week
It’s ok to be wrong
We'll see
I unfortunately don’t think the Vikings d line or o line are even on the same level as the Eagles. I’m afraid the Vikings if can play well tonight and win would get bullied by the Eagles.
U didn’t see the eagles dog walk the rams like week 10/11
@@Freebandz757 He didn't say that. He made his baseless claim, that's all.
No one gives the Texans a chance, we love the underdog role
As a vikings fan, leave the seedings as it is. Its tuff s***.
It's weird that a ball carrier is allowed to put his hand forcefully on a tackler's helmet.
not just helmet but actual Facemask and not get called for Facemasking
@richardcampbell9892 Seems like a double standard. I can't remember which game but there was an inadvertent, non-forcible touch by a defender of a facemask and it cost 15 yards.
I believe you can do it as long as it's an open palm, you can't actually "grab" the facemask.
You think tacklers are "defenseless"? You think? At all? Or is this "thinking" for you?
Steak and a beer bet with Sirles on the Vikes game tonight. C’mon Mackey!!!

I like your name, you proved it.
21:54 that fucking ring finger jeremiah my god. appreciate your sacrifice lol
If you win your division you deserve to be in the playoffs. Teams that win a garbage division don't automatically deserve to host a playoff game.
That's a good compromise
Agreed. Surprised ex-NFL dudes would think/say otherwise.
JS is 100% corrcet. It's a lot like winning your high school (or college) conference. It's some thing legitimate to take pride in. I see ur point, but there's no way I'm going to be a butt-hurt bandwagon b!#@ pretending to know s#!% about the NFL if I didn't point out that a division is a division...the reason it earns a bye is that it has to mean SOMEthing to triumph over you local, most hated, rivals...at keast.

This system rewards division winners and only rarely (seems to) penalize excellent division runners-up.
The 1997 Denver Broncos have spoken.
Eagles game hurt as a Packer fan but the knowledge Chicago could have had Daniels will keep me warm this off-season.
Remember when Cleveland almost went two years without a win? Their one win came against the Chargers
I feel like the self help book move was a bit tongue in cheek and a troll because he wasn't getting receptions, but that could come back to bite them in the future.
Joe mixon would break your jaw for saying that weirdo stuff. You would never call him that in person
Packers were 7 last year as well.
The vibes were never off, only gossiping media said that.
Next week the entire Eagles roster will be reading comic books on the side lines
As a vikes fan. We done ✔️ 🙌
Yes. Cowboys were 2. Packers were 7. Yes you being silly.
It has only been there since 2017 or so.
Philly vs. GB had potential. That fumble was an emotional killer.
Home field atmosphere?
It's a game thousands of miles from home, two time zones away.
Leave the winning the division alone for sure. That's what makes the rivalries -- it makes beating the division teams twice each year meaningful.
The Herbert slander is ridiculous. That Charger team completely over-achieved this season. He was pressured on over 50% of drop backs Saturday and look at who he is throwing to. You guys are better than this
The Charges HAVE to have the worst WR's in the NFL! Those guys can't catch a football to save their ass!
Looking forward to January JJMcC!!!!
Eagles game cliff notes..The most physical team..went to a bar..drank natty light and bottom shelf booze. Picked fights and walked out of a bar without a blood stain on their clothes. It wasn't pretty and proper, but it was a good night!
Only pretty counts.
Those INTs weren't all Herbert's fault.
And why is it so much worse because he had ridiculously few regular season interceptions?
It’s all about the stakes. Regular season you’ve got 17 games to earn playoffs - but playoffs are 1 and done if you put up an absolute dud
@vikings_fans_anonymous In 11 career postseason games, Fran Tarkenton threw 17 interceptions and 11 TD passes. His passer rating was 58.6. And Minnesota won 6 of those games!
Herbert is still a very good quarterback.
IIRC, Mackey opined before the season that Herbert would make the Vikings much better but the salary cap contract side wouldn't allow it.
LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!

Off subject but why does KOC NEVER use an extra o lineman on goal to go inside the 4?? Or did I miss it because they lost 3 yards on that play?
Playoffs, kicking ass and sending people on vacation. Doesn’t anything feel better than knocking someone out of the playoffs besides a Super Bowl?
I am with you on not changing the playoffs seeding.
Washington and GreenBay would have been home games as well as Minnesota and for me that gives the Division titles 0 meaning.

35:29 What is the "illness going around "? Nothing serious, I hope.
I saw a news lead about illness spreading in China.
The Slackers were 7th last year.
Eagles barely beat a depleted packers team. Don't seem them getting past the lions
Eagles DEPLETED a PLAYOFF team. And I don't care what you "don't seem".
Nix and Daniel’s are both 24. Which is weird why the Nix being old narrative is so prevalent.

The Texans were gifted the AFC south meanwhile, Green Bay was third in their division and probably could’ve won the AFC south and the NFC West and maybe a couple other Divisions.
A division title Is a division title. I doubt any adult is going to get upset by someone else benefitting from the same rules they both played by.
So you want to move the Packers is what you're saying. Will playing in a bad division help Green Bay NOT suck in the playoffs then? Maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place. Did that ever occur to you? Or can't you see the forest for the cheese?

Think about what has happened. It may come to you.
Nolan smith taking out an O-linemen with 65lbs on him says it all. The eagles defense is easily the best in the NFL
Well it's really not fair when they're so small. Hard to see. The NFL will make a rule about it I'm sure.
If the Vikes beat the Rams, they will get killed by the Eagles.
Can any of these NFC teams challenge the Lions at this point? I thought perhaps TB, Philly, or the DeadSkins but after this weekend.....eh......dahn-know....
eagles have the best defense in the league they will challenge them and eagles have the best rushing attack.
@@loggerboy9325 Look at his name. Not worth the bother.

The bills Houston oilers was a bigger blown lead in playoffs
If we can get past the rams, i think our defense matches up really good against the eagles. Skol
Yeah, you bet.

Harbaugh might move on from Herbert. It's funny Herbert is more talented than Alex Smith, but Alex was mentally tough.
There's a reason why Harbaugh wanted to draft JJ to the chargers.
LMAO wait till the lions ROLL over the eagles. They did not look good to me verses Green Bay.
We shall see kitten, we shall see
“They did not look good to me verses Green Bay.”
Which “verses” we’re you reading? The lightweight NFC North ones?
A bit off topic, but with NIL money being paid to theses guys, should big time draft prospects making this money be required to play the bowl games?l

Eggles are soft boiled LoL
But we're not in the soft NFC North, are we?
First Nick didn't fight w a fan, second the AJ stuff the media made up, fake news and third best defense best o line.

you BAG on HURTS but you propped up SAM DARNOLD ALL YEAR....
The eagles looked terrible against green Bay. Tampa or any other playoff team would have destroyed them
Did your widdle, football team go home? Or did they never show up?
Get rid of divisions.
Yeah, and defense. Defense ruins games!
