Damn. The tackle for loss looms large!

[classycarra]

Huge missed kick. Wonder if philly scores too fast

Just scoring would be an improvement. Chance to seize momentum here though

[coolbyrne]

How many kicks have been missed this season? How many points blown?

[Chakan]

Aaaaand it’s gone.

[RedG13]

Wow. Jeffery has to catch that or not tip it up

[Chakan]

What a time to miss a regulation catch.

[Ray K]

And that's the ball game. 2nd pick by Lattimore. Best team wins.

2 great games next weekend with 4 great offenses.

they did have to do but u want to score with least amount of time left

[newterp]

Well the eagles had ALL the luck last year - not so much today!

[jonkrux]

Fuckk sake.

saints have to get first down otherwise philly get ball with like 20-30 seconds left

[classycarra]

Wow. Jeffery has to catch that or not tip it up

Jeffery and Foles seem to have a great connection too. Wouldn't have bet on that

[RedG13]

Well the eagles had ALL the luck last year - not so much today!

remember the neal knee ball that should have been a pick

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Get fcked Eagles.

[RedG13]

Ball game. Saints with a huge comeback

[newterp]

Feel bad for Alshon though.

[jonkrux]

Gutted for Jeffrey tbf.

[Zend...en the clowns]

14-0 inside the first ten minutes and then don’t score at all for the rest of the game.

Crazy. Where’s foles gonna be next season?

[RedG13]

Den or cincy would be my guess, at this current time

[Red Viper]

Ah well. No shame in going down to the best team in the NFL by 6.

Been a crazy up and down season for the Eagles. Had absolutely no luck with injuries all year, put in some horrendous performances but the run we've been on the last 6-8 weeks has been great and showed there's some decent depth to this roster. If you'd told me at the start of December we'd make the divisional round I'd have taken that all day.

Hope we get a Chiefs/Saints Superbowl. Think they've been the two best teams.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Saints need to sort out their first quarter performances if they are going to go all the way. Give Mahomes or Brady a 14-0 lead and they aren't coming back.

They average 6.6 points against in the first quarter, which is the worst in the NFL this season.

Deadline for enter in nfl draft is tonight at 1159 pm est. Idk if you guys saw but kyler murray not offically put in paperwork and he meet with A's and mlb this weekend. Basically seems to be asking for mlb contract(getting like 15 mil) and mlb will waive rules for him or allow it. Think A's will do it or he offically enters the draft today

He'd be better off selecting baseball. Lengthier career, more money, less wear and tear on the body, etc. No way will he be a star in the NFL.

Average QB money>Average OF Money. Baseball is normally more money expect when it a QB.

Exactly!

[bryanod]

Told you he'd declare a few weeks ago. Once heisman and performance in big games got that first round talk he's going to get more money quicker in football.

[ALPH1217]

The A's just offered him a signing bonus of well over 4 million.

[RedG13]

The A's just offered him a signing bonus of well over 4 million.

he got 4.66 mil from A's a signing bonus. If he goes 32 he gets 9 plus guaranteed. 32 mil guaranteed is the top pick. Also qb you can last a while.

[bryanod]

Bingo. He'll go too 20 at worst and get around 15m guaranteed and then 5th year would be 20+ if he's even average.

To get through the minor leagues then vest he'd have to basically be a hof player to get as much money as a qb, who are increasingly protected from being touched, and take maybe 8-10 years to get it. Follow the money!

[ALPH1217]

NFL scouts don't seem to be particularly high on this guy. One scout was standing right next to him recently and had doubts that he was 5' 9"! I'm very interested in how this pans out. This is the quote from that slug Deion Sanders - "If I was in his shoes I'm picking up the baseball bat and I'm not looking back."

can't wait size concerns have him drop in the draft to the New England Patriots   

[LFC_1981]

Anyone see Adam Gase first press conference? That guy has to be on drugs, seriously.

Kyler Murray has already been discussed in quite some detail a few pages back

For every NFL scout saying his height is an issue there's other NFL pro's and respected Journo's saying he is more than capable of making it in football

Lone Star Red off here has watched every snap Murray has received for OU and reckons he is more than capable of making it and its no secret that Murray's first love is Football and that's where is heart lies

There's no guarantees obviously, but either way the young man is going to be a multi-millionaire, so I guess he follows his dream.

Get it young fella!

[Trev20]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Murray went in the first round.

He ought to do a Braxton Miller/Denard Robinson and make a good career that way.

"Problem" being that Kyler has way more passing ability than those two combined.

[Trev20]

It’s a quick passing system.

He completed only half of his passes against the only good Defense he came up against all year.

[Trev20]

Kiper -v- McShay in the NFL thread 

[Lone Star Red]

It’s a quick passing system.

He completed only half of his passes against the only good Defense he came up against all year.

Riley runs one of, if not the most complex offense in all of college football. Requires the QB to make reads, go through his progressions and change plays/offensive line assignments before the snap. You appear to be under the incorrect impression that OU is running an old-fashioned Air Raid offense solely in the style of Mike Leach or Hal Mumme that relies mainly on bubble screens, slants and quick out routes.

And Alabama had an elite defense and it certainly wasn't the only good defense that Kyler faced all year.
