OT: NFL 2025 Playoff Games Thread

Credit to the Eagles and Barkley has been awesome but I do get irked thinking about all the hypocritical Eagles fans bad mouthing Barkley saying he sucked and he always hurt over the years when he was with the Giants. Same jackasses are now claiming him as if he was a native son. I still think the winner of the other game wins the Super Bowl.
Not sure who you’re talking about. I was more upset that he flipped from us way back when.

You might have a a different viewpoint, but most Eagles fans are PSU fans and always respected Barkley. As an RU Eagles fan I never liked him as a player but always respected his talent.

This year I actually think the Giants made the right choice with him. He maybe gets a bad Giants team to 2 more wins. They gambled he wouldn't go to the Eagles and he did . With the Eagles and behind their best in the league oline he took them from a very good team to the Superbowl

Politi NAILS IT on Pikiell’s Postgame Comments

Not Me GIF by Complex

I have always hated Politi and his schtick, and you and I have disagreed about it. That's what makes this board interesting. Respectful disagreements. These people clinging on to Politi are hilarious.

Pikiell is a nice guy,and when nice guys finish last, it can be brutal. But he fed the hype for this season, and not he has to deal with the fallout.

That said, I just listened to the post-game presser, and if that is what Politi's article is ranting and raving about, he has lowered his idiot bar even lower. I have no problem with the way Pikiell answered the questions. Pikiell is a positive mindset kind of coach. Thankfully, he not a Cronin.

Politis job is to generate clicks and that often means reaching out to the low iq portion of the audience.

Poor NIL is the biggest reason for our disappointing season

The NIL race isnt being won or lost by how much your fan collective raises but rather how many whales you can get committed to your program to stroke 7-figure checks
Thank you. While I appreciate what the fan collectives try to do, it's the "whales" that really mean something. There's no excuse as to why - being in the NYC metro area - we can't find more of these type of folks.

Another thought, there were 17,000 plus at msg yesterday. Many love their Knights. But success also generates donations. Had they built on the 2019-2021 success I feel NIL wouldn’t really be a problem. Instead poor recruiting, poor player development and retention, all but ignoring offensive talent and schemes until this year and now we’ve completed the bell curve of basement-good-basement in about 4-5 year increments.
This times a million in a nutshell. We didn't build on the success. Instead we got Reiber, Palmquist, Jaden Jones, Jalen Miller, Austin Williams, Noah Fernandes . . . and so forth.

Add thiof uninformed threads. Again and admittedly I only know a small sample of true money folks but I can promise you they all know Pike personally.
Obviously he hasn't done a good enough job convincing them to donate the big bucks he really needed this year. Or expanded his network, as Greg did. Otherwise we wouldn't be in this CF.

Where is PIKE going out on a limb and meeting donors face to face (esp ones with money)? Schiano goes out and builds relationships. Pike hasn’t. It was absolutely criminal that with all the time he knew Harper and Ace were coming that he couldn’t get enough money for a competent surrounding cast.
Add this one to your long list of uninformed threads. Again and admittedly I only know a small sample of true money folks but I can promise you they all know Pike personally.
