@@Philadelphia Eagles

[Kempski] Remember when Carson Wentz got speared in the playoffs, left with a concussion, and then Josh McCown subsequently tore his hamstring, stayed in the game, couldn’t do anything, the Eagles lost, didn’t bitch about it for the next 5 months, and the NFL didn’t change any rules?

  1. They didn’t bitch because they knew the chances of it happening specifically to them again were low. They then stomped the 49ers with the rule still in place. Rule changes don’t help the past

  2. Can’t say he gave *everything*, but Wentz definitely gave his body for us. Shame he got cheap shot like that

  3. The niners didn’t propose this rule change. It was the lions. This narrative is boring an incorrect.

    That being said the eagles should have bitched because that was an uncalled and unpunished illegal hit that was absolute bullshit. Fuck clowney.

  4. No, but I do remember when the saints also bitched and got a rule change because of some playoff shenanigans

  5. Sorry but there’s no partisanship to this rule. The game sucks without QBs

  8. Will you just fucking drop it? Everyone is acting like adding an emergency 3rd quarterback somehow changes the outcome of the NFCCG. Who gives a shit as to why or when they’re changing the rule. Literally doesn’t affect us, literally doesn’t affect nearly every single game that has been played or will be played. But there’s no negative to the change other than listening to our fans bitch about it like they’re slighted in some way by everyone getting another QB. It doesn’t fucking matter. We would’ve beat them with Purdy, we were beating them with Johnson, and we still would’ve beaten them with whatever hypothetical QB that’s worse than Johnson. So just fucking shit up about it, it’s pathetic.

  10. I’m not against the rule change, but that Clowney bullshit still pisses me off.

  11. lol Kempski’s brain has broken regarding SF. Terrible take here (they didn’t even propose the rule, Detroit did and it’s a good one), on top of him doing a power rankings roundup recently and every other comment being “hOw aRe tHe 9eRs tHis HiGh”.

  14. Ngl, I did bitch about the Wentz hit, I just didn’t bitch about it to fortywhiners levels.

  15. This has nothing to do with the 4Whiners. This is very clearly because the NFL looked at that “big time” playoff game and it sucked. Another QB wasn’t going to win it for the niners, but it would have made the game appear more entertaining…and thus help retain more viewers and keep those eyeballs around to see the advertisements that were paid for.
