I think this game sealed Doug's fate. He saw Wants struggling and only brought Hurts in for one play. I bet Lurie is pissed. He told Doug to bring Hurts in if Carson struggles, which he did.

We'll never know, Russ probably would have stepped up his game if it got closer, but...no doubt Philly would have had a better chance. Watch this clip!


That's so depressing to watch as a Hawks fan. When Seattle likely comes up against Rodgers in the playoffs it's going to be a massacre... Rodgers will probably throw for 800 yards and 8 TDs.

You gotta know when to fold 'em.

No worse feeling than being up huge in Vegas and waking up broke and hung over and angry.

I have a decent story from one night.

a bunch of us met at the casino. My buddies wife(newly married) has no idea how much he gambles. We all meet at the casino. Like 45 min in she’s furious and wants to go home from losing money.

he gets an Uber, takes her home, is texting us that he’s coming back. When they pull up he tells her he’s going back and drops her off , takes the same car back....she is not happy.

they’re down maybe 250 total. He has a credit voucher for like 22 bucks still ....puts it in a slot the minute he walks inside and hits for 600.

meets us , yells he’s back....we go to blackjack...

we all took up one whole table. Few of use made a few bucks , few lost 20-30-40 and we stopped. He proceeds to lose all 600. We all keep telling him to leave he refuses. Goes to the atm gets 300 out. Goes up 1100 in like 10 minutes .. we keep saying let’s leave. No no no he says . My one buddy the tells the dealer that his friend is an idiot to please take his money. So every hand we’re all now cheering for the dealer. Everytime this guy loses my one buddy is tipping the dealer a buck. The dealer and the pit boss were very confused then starting getting in in the rouse.

he lost it all. Hit the atm again for 300. Went up 1k AGAIN. Wouldn’t leAve and proceeded to lose it.

we all decided we were going home. I offered to drive him home, he’s 45 min the other direction, but the 1.5 hour ride seemed ok for his luck. He said no he had called for an Uber...so we all left. I woke up to a text sent at4am of a picture of over3500 in chips. Saying “I’m back baby”....that was 3 + hours after we left.

I simply replied .”how much did you lose”. He said “I just left , all of it plus 400 more”. It was 930 am when I got up.

Yep. Or Brees or Brady or even Alex Smith. We are fortunate we get to face a bunch of scrub QBs down the stretch.

Wentz has had 3 incomplete seasons in a row and now he leads the league in interceptions. Better if he had another incomplete season. Why were the commentators still gushing over this guy? He's got his money and for 4 years running has failed.

I was thinking the same thing... Two WR's were wide open... Not going to knock Carson for throwing to the TE deep downfield though because he was open, too... It was just a poor throw...

My first ever parlay was 15 games $5.00 to win $100,000.00, I hit 14 and said I'll be fiithy rich in 2 maybe 3 years. Never came close after that, luckily it didn't take too many losing weeks to teach me Vegas isn't made on winners.
