WWE brought back “Sunday Night Heat”! (I wish)
The NFC Championship between the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers brought a little Attitude Era our way after a fight broke out with just 4:13 left in the game.
Trent Williams, who is the left tackle for the Niners, was ejected from the game after slamming Philly safety K’Von Wallace to the ground — Wallace also received an ejection.
It was pretty obvious that Williams acted out of frustration with San Francisco getting blown out by the Eagles. The 49ers were never really in it after starting quarterback Brock Purdy was forced out of the game in the first quarter due to injury, with backup Josh Johnson coming in, only to leave the contest with a concussion. It was absolute misery for San Fran, who had to run a one-dimensional offense with no quarterback, with Philadelphia flat-out dominating them as a result.
The Philadelphia Eagles won the NFC Championship, 31-7, and are now headed to Super Bowl LVII.
Shout out to Philly!
In my NFL Conference Championship Sunday predictions piece, I had the Philadelphia Eagles grabbing a 31-20 win. As you see, the Eagles had me covered, and quite frankly, I like to think the San Francisco 49ers would have had me covered too if their damn quarterbacks wouldn’t have gotten injured, so technically, I was spot on with my prediction.
That’s my narrative, and I’m sticking with it.
VIDEO AT LINK...................
But even right away I was yelling at the TV, “Challenge”. It definitely looked to me there at least was a chance the ball at some point touched the ground, even in real time. Given the situation where SF gets the ball at midfield if the call was overturned, it was worth risking the time out.
It’s only going to get worse from here. The NFL should just take off the mask completely and go the way of the WWE and say it’s just for entertainment.
Well, that certainly explains the following 50 years...
“... and they all run to the end zone ...”
It is ridiculous but end zone celebrations were getting out of control. However I think the refs can get the point across by throwing a flag for delay of game. That way one can say that the penalty is not for celebrations but for slowing down the game.
Lol! I do miss Andy Reid and him saying as he clears his throat “time’s yours”
Will Wallace be barred from the Super Bowl for his misbehavior?
No.
His last name......................
“and now for something completely different......”
Cowgirls- 28 years and counting.
