NFL 2015 - Preseason Discussion

[larkis]

Booked a trip to Mexico with my girlfriend, obviously via Philadelphia. The streak continues. Going to the Eagles v Saints game this year.

Your poor girlfriend, having to go to Philadelphia

Does anyone have the stats on who how long people have continually been on a roster?

I do wonder out of the ~1600 people in the NFL, in what percentile does Kellen Moore fall in for longevity of being employed.

The average length of a QB in the NFL is 4.44 years.

http://www.statista.com/statistics/...areer-length-in-the-national-football-league/

Kellen Moore has a long way to go before he knocks Todd Collins off the perch as best career backup QB. Collins played 16 seasons and only attempted 701 pass attempts over that time.

Actually a really nice place. Wouldn't want to be an away fan though.

Confirmation bias.

Philadelphia is a ghetto outside of the Independence Hall touristy area.

So yeah... Philly sucks. And I'm talking objectively as someone who has travelled there. Not just because "lol NFC east rivalry".

 

[Chadwiko]

That said, I just noticed that it was Larkis who made the "Philadelphia sucks" comment.

Whilst Philadelphia was ranked #2 worst city in the United States, it was in fact St Louis ranked #1.

So, you know... glass houses

What rivalry? Can you be rivals with a dumpster fire?

Washington DC doesn't have dumpster fires. It's not a ghetto of a city.

Probably riff-raff bussing in from nearby Philadelphia and Baltimore to get a glimpse of the good life.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Z wins… but

Tom Hanks got aids in Philidelphia, the human race getting wiped out in the 12 monkeys, Philadelphia... just sayin'

Yeah but I am not forcing people to go to St Louis.
You're welcome to go to Ferguson if you like.
We don't have any of the feral fans like they do in Philidelpha (mostly because we don't have football fans).

Philadelphia should be decent for a stop if you are interested in American History. Otherwise it's Cheese Steaks on her menu.

And meanwhile all the local football fans are heading to Philadelphia and Baltimore to get a glimpse of a good football team.

I'm not forcing people to go to Philly, you can all rest easy. I will go on behalf of everyone #prayforme

Ohhh, winner, winner, we have a winner

Game over, go home people!! ITS OVER!!

 

[Brasher]

Is it time for another Rocky reference?

except your gf?

Witch hunts in Boston.

 

[Zealbee]

except your gf?

She's a trooper. Philly is on the way though, amirite?

 

[Dirty Bird]

Isnt the New Jersey part of Philly (Camden) literally the worst "City" in America?

 

[larkis]

Don't know how this turned into a pissing match on the worst city in USA. Phili comment was more how no one really wants to go to Phili. Yes there are a lot more places in America I don't want to go to as well.

It's like deciding who is worse out of Kellen Moore, Brandon Wheedon, Tim Tebow or Johnny Manziel. On one hand they are terrible QBs but they are QBs in the NFL.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

And only one is a proven winner in the NFL, so at least it's easy deciding who's the best

 

[larkis]

If you hadn't already outed yourself as an idiot on these boards I may have laughed a little harder.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

lol pls no lerkis

 

[Exe Gesis]

Hate to admit it but the best city in the US is San Diego.

 

[Shupe]

My ex always said San Diego was her favourite and she was over there travelling for 12 months.
