All the current QBs are playing by the same rules though.
Seems plausible on the surface, but doing some research shows that hasn't really affected his numbers too much. He is 3rd in the league in pass attempts, behind Luck and Tannehill(?), and has only 12 more attempts than the 10th place QB, Peyton Manning. Yes, he's thrown the ball a good bit, but it's not a ton more than the rest of the top passers in this league.
Fun fact: Foles has attempted 2 more passes than Jay Cutler yet has 228 more passing yards.

If anything it's the offensive line injuries that are forcing the passing for the Eagles more than the point deficits. It's not like McCoy is incapable of making huge running plays.
So it's coincidence things like 5000 yards was done once in 1984 then magically it was done 6 times since 2011?
No, passing stats are up across the board, that much is true. My point is you can't write off Foles' accomplishments just because of recent rule changes. All current QBs are beneficiaries of these changes, so if he is out performing them and/or accomplishing feats that have been done by future Hall of Famers like Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, then you have to acknowledge that he is putting up some special numbers.
I didn't realize that. Next you'll tell me a yard in one stadium is a yard in another!
Accomplishments? The dude has started less than 20 games in his career. Please. This year he has played against Jacksonville, Washington and Indianapolis. Two of those teams are ranked 29th or lower in yards per game defensively. And yes I realize some of that is circular reasoning considering they've only played 3 games and one was against Foles. However, neither Jacksonville nor Indianapolis have good defenses.
He has thrown 12 more yards than Matt Ryan. Holy shit he's amazing!

Jacksonville and Indianapolis are two of the worst defenses in football against the pass. Washington is in the bottom half as well.
Foles has thrown the ball 40+ times per game.
This isn't rocket science people.
Thing is I like his chances to actually accomplish something interesting and get that 4th in a row. 49ers have been garbage against the pass.

I didn't really make my point clear. See my post to Tom Penny for further clarification on what I meant by that.

Kelly was so stupid whenever she learned something new something old would be forgotten. Al and Kelly went on a local game show and he crammed her head with so much info she forgot which local hero scored 4 touchdowns in a single game for Polk High - her dad.
I can't believe I picked up on that reference.
You realize he hasn't yet accomplished this yet right?

I loved that episode lol
If you take his last season for the next 10 years he will have almost 300 TD's and only 20 picks. That's a hall of famer to me.
Eli Manning is a HOFer, HOFers are a dime a dozen! And when I say HOFer, I mean Eli gets in because he has two SBs not because his overall body of work deserves it.
I'm voting for HoFlynn based on his performance with the Packups against Detroit alone.
I do now. I saw you pointing that out after posting. That is pretty silly by NFL.com.
However, even you yourself admit he has a good chance at doing it. We'll see, I guess.

In games in which the Eagles are down up at least 14 points:
Andy Reid's Eagles went 2-47
Chip Kelley's Eagles are 3-5
I am very surprised by the AR number, he was so reliant on the pass you would think that they could have passes themselves back into games more often.

Yeah, I do. I am definitely extremely skeptical of their level of competition to this point though.
God that's going to be one derpy ass hof bust

They should build a statue of him standing on top of pats helmets while he holds bradys severed head in one hand.
That was the problem. Teams with a big lead would just sit back in nickel or dime and Andy would completely abandon the run and attempt to pass into the teeth of that defense. Chip is a lot more balanced, even when playing from behind. He is going to take what the defense gives him.

And here I thought I wasn't going to get my fill of football cliches today.
The separation is in the preparation.
It's refreshing to make it to the end of a half and actually have all 3 timeouts.
next man up!
Winning playoff games is overrated
NFC CHAMPIONS!!!

Gata is ok with just winning the AFC East.
I would rather go 1-15 than start another season with Rodgers

incoming concussion
If by high he means so toked up that he was unable to see properly then I agree with him.
If he means pad level then I'm not entirely sure what that has to do with his inability to recognize and hit a hole.
