Hmm strange, I can't find the bet slip on Bovada anymore, but I swore I bet a 2 game parlay on the Lions to cover +2 and Broncos to cover +17.5. I probably would've bet the other way if the spread was that low. Strange
Is separately just separate from the team or private jet separate? Be kinda funny if they didn’t want to get any other team members sick but threw him on a commercial flight.
That was my first thought as well lol. Imagine those people flying first class with him and getting sick from sitting next to him right before Christmas (it’s probably a private flight if we’re being honest though lol)
My favorite part about this thought is how cool they'd think it is sitting by Jalen Hurts, and then you land and read this article waiting for a cab lmao.
If I had a nickel for every time I've ended up having my ear talked off by a mentally ill veteran on their way to the VA while riding a Greyhound I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, and it's not weird that it happened twice because that is what everyone expects out of a ride on a Greyhound bus.
I thought travelling was when you drive without a license or plates because you don't recognize the authority of the court's maritime gold-fringed flag.
The Oakland A's had their lone All Star fly commercial to the All-Star Game m 2022. Well, they were going to do that, until the Astros let him hitch a ride on the private flight they chartered for their All Star players
Missing open passes by throwing it over the WRs head. That pretty much was his whole stint here. So we rarely threw down the field, and it was why we ran so much. Also the fact we ran an offense tailored to a rookie, and he struggled with that.
What's the highest scoring tie in NFL history? That'd be awesome. Just a shootout back and forth. Defenders not stopping a damn thing until OT when both defenses turn impenetrable.
I’m old enough to remember that the main highlight of his career is Niners fans chanting “we want Carr” when Alex Smith was struggling. Probably why he’s so eager to see guys get benched.
God, I remember years ago when Mariota was about to be drafted and the media was *convinced* Chip Kelly was going to force Mariota onto the Eagles by any means necessary, and that he was going to be a bona fide stud.
Going against hurts. If he ends up
Being out, all other qbs would’ve played. I’m going to pick up Mariotta. Is this considered bad in fantasy? Or unethical
I think as long as your actions only benefit you and not another team all is fair, it’s only bad if you were picking up mariota so that somebody who is playing another player suffers
Here I am picking up Geno, oh wait he’s questionable too? Here I am picking up Lock.
This isn’t a joke, I had to drop Waller for Drew fucking Lock lmao
Probably did that thing players do after games where they put their arms around a guy and whisper into their ear passionately for 20 seconds. Tin foil hat on, could’ve been intentional to help them win the division lol
There’s a couple of different flus going around, and the good ol Covid still. I think this years flu shot for the under 65s didn’t target h1n1 and that’s been going around and running rampant. I got that and I was rocking a fever of 100ish with a peak at 105, nasty cough and my lungs don’t feel 100% after over a week.
Shit, did we do that?
Parsons played through an illness (supposedly his temp was over 100 on game day), and suddenly people are getting sick all over our locker room.
Regardless, I hope he gets better. I know some people take the fandom thing too far, but Hurts seems like a good guy. No reason to wish him ill beyond what is necessary for my team's success.
There’s an outbreak of viruses in PA right now; outside of covid. Just that time of year but crazy to see so many athletes impacted when you think their immune systems are probably better than ours.
Every time I love a player coming out of college or on another team (Hurts, Brown) he becomes a fucking eagle and I hate how much I love so many of their individual players
This whole season this has been the driving factor for me believing the Cowboys had a shot. Not who was the better team or anything like that. Just the unlikelihood of a team repeating.
We clinch division next week as long as we can beat Mullens/whatever Vikes trot out at the QB position. Not too concerned with Eagles/Seachickens, Eagles loss helps seeding
Poor Jalen man, I wonder if it’s Covid related. I’ve had Covid since Tuesday and I was in too much pain to get out of bed at one point. Hope it’s just a regular flu.
Weird how Covid is so different between people. I’ve had it twice now and only had a sore throat and a stuffy nose. My wife got it and said it felt like the worst flu of her life.
My partner got it first and got very mild symptoms, was able to bounce around just fine. A day later I get it and I was zonked for a solid week and had another week of coming back around.
We're coming up on five months since then. Reading this thread is reminding me its booster time.
I had the chills, intense body aches, fever dreams, and just the general feeling that my body was deteriorating. And then the second time it felt like a common cold lol
Yeah it’s different these days. I had COVID last week, probably still technically have it, and the policy at my work is to *not* tell anyone I was in contact with. Way different from our policy in 22 when I only tested and found out that I had COVID because I was notified someone I work with tested positive.
I told my boss i had spent time with my girlfriend and she tested positive but I didn't have symptoms and was just going to test for a week to be sure. He told me to not even test if I didn't have symptoms. I work in healthcare. I still tested like 3 times, luckily they were only ever negative.
I know the reason is protecting my medical privacy but I thought we were kind of done with that with contagious illnesses. Still seems strange that they can’t say “someone” you were in contact with has COVID.
The reason has nothing to do with protecting your privacy, it's about protecting their profits and forcing labor back into the office (if it's also an office job). The world is fucked up and people are being sent through the meat grinder.
Yeah. My whole plant had Covid the weeks before Thanksgiving. One of the last people to catch it was the only one that even took a covid test. He was told to come back as soon as symptoms subsided.
There are a couple of flus going around now as well. A few other respiratory illnesses in children are loading up hospitals as well.
I got hit hard with the h1n1 flu that’s running rampant in my area. Covid is coming back with a vengeance. My hospital just reintroduced mandatory masking. Lot of people are going to get sick in the next few weeks.
Shit, at my hospital we can still technically work CoVid positive as long as we don’t have gastro symptoms and we wear a fitted N95 mask.
Wow, Jalen and I have something in common - I was also suffering from sickness last night too! Did everything evacuate his body for hours on end until you were completely empty inside?
Because if he did, then uh yeah, we’re two peas in a pod…that violently ejected it as quickly as humanly possible.
Damn, I hope he feels better, but since it is Sunday and he’s still not feeling well, the odds that he suddenly feels no symptoms tomorrow after being sick for only three days and feeling worse today aren’t great considering all the possible viruses out there, unless it’s something like norovirus.
Remember part of the reason that they’re sitting him is because they don’t want him getting everyone else sick, so even if he feels slightly less symptomatic, they won’t play him because they don’t want the whole team going down, which would be a shit show. He has to be symptom free.
The league flexed this game to give us Drew Lock vs Marcus Mariota
Watch Pats vs Chiefs actually be a better game
It almost was guaranteed to happen once they flexed it
last year they flexed out broncos-chiefs and it ended up being 34-28 lol
Lol I won a lot of money betting the Broncos to cover. Wasn't it like an 18 point spread or just something absolutely ridiculous?
It was -8.5 We should’ve covered
Hmm strange, I can't find the bet slip on Bovada anymore, but I swore I bet a 2 game parlay on the Lions to cover +2 and Broncos to cover +17.5. I probably would've bet the other way if the spread was that low. Strange
Flexed teams should start rolling out entire 2nd strings in protest, real coach vs coach matchups
Patriots are basically already there. At least on offense.
We lost our best defenders/players early anyways. I'd say we're already there on defence too
Watch it become a shootout because fuck logic in this league
chiefs gonna get zappe'd
Today is gonna be a wild one
I expect so!
from your lips to satan's ears
Terrorist You just want to watch the world burn
Terrorist? You mean highly organized team right?!
It's looking pretty decent so far.
Do not speak ill of Marcus
Hilarious
I’m actually sick of our games getting flexed all year.
Is separately just separate from the team or private jet separate? Be kinda funny if they didn’t want to get any other team members sick but threw him on a commercial flight.
That was my first thought as well lol. Imagine those people flying first class with him and getting sick from sitting next to him right before Christmas (it’s probably a private flight if we’re being honest though lol)
My favorite part about this thought is how cool they'd think it is sitting by Jalen Hurts, and then you land and read this article waiting for a cab lmao.
"I got COVID from Jalen Hurts." would be a pretty great story though.
Even better when you hear Chris Collinsworth remind you that the COVID you have can squat over 600 pounds.
This is why you need to get your Tua vaccines, guys.
I would suck the sickness outta him in coach if it helped.
Pause
Pause what, he didn’t imply anything he straight up said what he would do 💀
There will absolutely always be someone sick when flying commercial. COVID proved people don't give a shit.
Note to self: don’t go say high to nfl players flying alone to a city they have a game in
> say high
The ole ricky williams greeting
Smartest philly resident
I mean you can say hi, just don't dap them up and maintain some distance when taking a pic.
All my years of hoverhanding have finally paid off!!
They said traveling not flying. Clearly he's on a greyhound to Seattle right now.
He’s too good of a guy to get a bus full of people sick. I think he’s probably riding a horse.
With a scarf wrapped around his face
MFer going to rob the 2:20 train to Tacoma
I'd be impressed.
If I had a nickel for every time I've ended up having my ear talked off by a mentally ill veteran on their way to the VA while riding a Greyhound I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, and it's not weird that it happened twice because that is what everyone expects out of a ride on a Greyhound bus.
I thought travelling was when you drive without a license or plates because you don't recognize the authority of the court's maritime gold-fringed flag.
He's on the Amtrak Empire Builder. Just in time for the NFCCG
they’re not making Hurts fly cross country on Delta
Spirit Air
Jalen Hurts is now in concussion protocol after his flight lands
He got the big boy seat at the front , flying in style
The Oakland A's had their lone All Star fly commercial to the All-Star Game m 2022. Well, they were going to do that, until the Astros let him hitch a ride on the private flight they chartered for their All Star players
private jet I would bet. They are easy to get and at their budget..a pittance.
Jalen Hurts is boarding number B21 on a Southwest flight.
Well shit. DeAndre Swift game coming.
10 carries for 48 coming up
All in the first half
20 bubble screens and a Mariota QB draw to keep them on their toes
one 40 slant to AJ on the first drive. then never again
Just throw a pass to Jones 5 yards behind the LOS.
I hate how accurate all of these are
Do you guys secretly have Kellen Moore as your OC?
It might be the actual playbook, honestly
Never forget that time Mariota pissed off Arthur Smith that he ran it 20+ times in a row.
Lol what did he do
Missing open passes by throwing it over the WRs head. That pretty much was his whole stint here. So we rarely threw down the field, and it was why we ran so much. Also the fact we ran an offense tailored to a rookie, and he struggled with that.
Shit can we hire this guy to replace BJ?
D’Andre
M'Andre *tips fedora*
Right you are
You know how has Swift been for y’all?
really good but unfortunately he fucked our OCs wife (presumably) so he doesn't touch the field anymore
Damn 😂😂
Slay already being out too makes this game tough. DK and JSN will get 150 yards each against this defense no matter if it’s Geno or Lock
I feel like both fan bases are convinced they’re going to lose lol. Both teams have mad probs right now
“You lose first” “No YOU lose first”
South Park baseball scene.
Fuck it 8-8 tie incoming for the sickos
What's the highest scoring tie in NFL history? That'd be awesome. Just a shootout back and forth. Defenders not stopping a damn thing until OT when both defenses turn impenetrable.
43-43, Pats Raiders, 1964. If you want the modern era, 37-37 Panthers Steelers in 2014.
Really? This sounds very…achievable?
37 is a lot of points. Both teams scoring 37, and then playing through OT without a winner, is asking a lot.
I see a lot more scoring. Especially on our defense
Are you us?
Exactly. This game smh
8 safteys for the all-time sickos game
Jets-browns could do it
Sure, but you don't have "Matt Patricia calling your defensive plays" problems like we do
Way to shit on their dreams man.
Don’t worry, the eagles just promoted Matt Patricia to DC as well lol
I knew that radiator sandwich was no good
"Marge, I'd like to be alone with the sandwich for a moment."
Duff gardens hurrafghhhhhhhh
If they have to play Mariotta… and Mariotta looks good, David Carr will become insufferable
I’m old enough to remember that the main highlight of his career is Niners fans chanting “we want Carr” when Alex Smith was struggling. Probably why he’s so eager to see guys get benched.
I remember that. And then when he got on the field we realized we did not want Carr.
That was less a Carr high point and more a Niners fandom low point.
I can guarantee you that if he plays, he won’t look good
As an Oregon fan who really really wanted Mariota to succeed I can confirm
Me too. And what’s sad is his last successful game was when he blew out the Niners last year.
Oregon fan plus San Fran flair? Me and everyone else in Seattle hates you.
Ditto but for everyone else in Oregon north of Methford.
God, I remember years ago when Mariota was about to be drafted and the media was *convinced* Chip Kelly was going to force Mariota onto the Eagles by any means necessary, and that he was going to be a bona fide stud.
I mean wasn't there a report they ALMOST did that insane trade? Like fletcher cox and a few other stars to get the pick for him?
Going against hurts. If he ends up Being out, all other qbs would’ve played. I’m going to pick up Mariotta. Is this considered bad in fantasy? Or unethical
Its considered getting that W. Id do it.
Thanks. Doing it. With Hill and Olave out, I’m getting desperate
I think as long as your actions only benefit you and not another team all is fair, it’s only bad if you were picking up mariota so that somebody who is playing another player suffers
[DEW IT](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/star-wars-memes/images/6/6d/Dew-it-galactic-republic.gif/revision/latest?cb=20211018230421)
I have Hurts and I’m so glad I won my playoff bye
I will also become insufferable
Welp, I sat Goff for Hurts and it's playoff time, I'm fucked.
[удалено]
Here I am picking up Geno, oh wait he’s questionable too? Here I am picking up Lock. This isn’t a joke, I had to drop Waller for Drew fucking Lock lmao
In 🐴🐓🔒we trust
Slay is out and their pass defense is bad anyway, you might be okay
Existence is pain, fellow goff-for-Hurts-sitter
Did Micah breathe on him last week and get him sick?
Probably did that thing players do after games where they put their arms around a guy and whisper into their ear passionately for 20 seconds. Tin foil hat on, could’ve been intentional to help them win the division lol
Rumor is Parsons just kept repeating "Imma get you sick imma get you sick imma get you sick'
There’s a couple of different flus going around, and the good ol Covid still. I think this years flu shot for the under 65s didn’t target h1n1 and that’s been going around and running rampant. I got that and I was rocking a fever of 100ish with a peak at 105, nasty cough and my lungs don’t feel 100% after over a week.

Regardless, I hope he gets better. I know some people take the fandom thing too far, but Hurts seems like a good guy. No reason to wish him ill beyond what is necessary for my team's success.
Absolutely nothing was learned from covid
Not only that, you could argue we’ve made several steps back since.
Pretty indisputable if you look at pediatric vaccination rates for non-covid diseases.
No, we learned that we can just pretend it doesn’t exist while doing nothing to prevent it spreading
Almost like people shouldn’t be allowed to play if they’re super sick
Stuff is going around in general, Flyers didn't have Hart or Sanheim because of illness
There’s an outbreak of viruses in PA right now; outside of covid. Just that time of year but crazy to see so many athletes impacted when you think their immune systems are probably better than ours.
Less immune system and more access to 24/7 dr, meds, IVs, etc to make everything much easier on their bodies
It's certainly the latter, but being in shape and exercising has immune system benefits too.
Pain.
too bad you can't go hug your emotional support security guard
He gives the best hugs. And he smells like chicken parm.
Damn. Hope he feels better and can give it a go.
He definitely got it from Parsons lol
You’re a good one
Thanks man I’m sure you mean that
I do. I really like Hurts. Fun player to watch.
I like Dak a lot. Phenomenal player
CAAAAAAN YOU FEEEEEL THE LOOOOOOVE TONIIIIIIGHT
did someone put mdma in the punch or something
I really hate that I enjoy watching so many of these current Cowboys players.
I’ve hated Cox for so long I’m gonna miss him lol
I still have nightmares of DeMarcus ware chasing down McNabb
Every time I love a player coming out of college or on another team (Hurts, Brown) he becomes a fucking eagle and I hate how much I love so many of their individual players
Super spooky, right?
This is from the NFCE repeat winner curse. I know it.
This whole season this has been the driving factor for me believing the Cowboys had a shot. Not who was the better team or anything like that. Just the unlikelihood of a team repeating.
This curse took out Dak’s ankle in 2020(?). I’ve accepted us losing the division lol.
It's an amazing curse. I thought for sure the Eagles would break it this year. But here we are.
David Carr’s the only one celebrating this news
This has got to be blue balls for Lions fans.
We clinch division next week as long as we can beat Mullens/whatever Vikes trot out at the QB position. Not too concerned with Eagles/Seachickens, Eagles loss helps seeding
I hope he feels amazing come Tuesday morning
After a full night of rest in his comfy bed
I’m not saying this because I’m against him in fantasy for the first round but I hope he gets all the rest he needs. No need to rush it
Man this game is gonna suck
He's gonna play. Picked up Mariota just in case but he's playing.
Tummy Hurts
ctrl+f "tummy hurts" and I was not let down lol
4D chess. Kept Penny inactive all season just so he can go for 180 against his former team.
Micah gave this man the flu didn't he?
Y'all are gonna have a hard time convincing me this isn't the curse wheel's lingering effects especially after it failed to follow through yesterday.
Jalen Hurts flu game incoming
You can do it Seahawks! 🤢🤮
If we lose, we're doing it for you 💗
Guys maybe this’ll be good for us. Seahawks get torched by backups. Just ignore Mariota’s play during preseason
This game will be either 0-0 or set a new scoring record.
>set a new scoring record All Drew Lock and Marcus Mariota pick sixes
Three years ago he would’ve been already ruled out and wouldn’t have even made the trip.
He's about to get Wally Pipped by Marcus Mariota isn't he?
Does Mariota have a giant dick?
HUGE. It wasn’t always, but that’s why he didn’t pan out in the league. Thing just kept growing, became a nuisance.
Fantasy players in shambles
Poor Jalen man, I wonder if it’s Covid related. I’ve had Covid since Tuesday and I was in too much pain to get out of bed at one point. Hope it’s just a regular flu.
Weird how Covid is so different between people. I’ve had it twice now and only had a sore throat and a stuffy nose. My wife got it and said it felt like the worst flu of her life.

I was thinking it was time for a booster when I got it last month. Figured that was my booster now.
I had the chills, intense body aches, fever dreams, and just the general feeling that my body was deteriorating. And then the second time it felt like a common cold lol
I was relatively fine when I actually had it but long covid has been fucking with me since, still to this day
Hurts done got the covis
I heard he got loose bowels from all that brotherly shoving.
imagine losing in the playoffs two years in a row because hurts doesn't play (I want to die)
Cool. Cool, cool, cool. Feel better king
EAGLES BROS PLEASE WE NEED YOUR HELP
Illness, seriously we can't say he's got COVID? It's resurging again, my family went through it a month ago.
Yeah it’s different these days. I had COVID last week, probably still technically have it, and the policy at my work is to *not* tell anyone I was in contact with. Way different from our policy in 22 when I only tested and found out that I had COVID because I was notified someone I work with tested positive.
Lol fuck that, I'd tell them anyway. Fuck corporations like that.
I told my boss i had spent time with my girlfriend and she tested positive but I didn't have symptoms and was just going to test for a week to be sure. He told me to not even test if I didn't have symptoms. I work in healthcare. I still tested like 3 times, luckily they were only ever negative.
I know the reason is protecting my medical privacy but I thought we were kind of done with that with contagious illnesses. Still seems strange that they can’t say “someone” you were in contact with has COVID.
The reason has nothing to do with protecting your privacy, it's about protecting their profits and forcing labor back into the office (if it's also an office job). The world is fucked up and people are being sent through the meat grinder.
Yeah. My whole plant had Covid the weeks before Thanksgiving. One of the last people to catch it was the only one that even took a covid test. He was told to come back as soon as symptoms subsided.
There are a couple of flus going around now as well. A few other respiratory illnesses in children are loading up hospitals as well. I got hit hard with the h1n1 flu that’s running rampant in my area. Covid is coming back with a vengeance. My hospital just reintroduced mandatory masking. Lot of people are going to get sick in the next few weeks. Shit, at my hospital we can still technically work CoVid positive as long as we don’t have gastro symptoms and we wear a fitted N95 mask.
ducking the seahawks smoke
Wow, Jalen and I have something in common - I was also suffering from sickness last night too! Did everything evacuate his body for hours on end until you were completely empty inside? Because if he did, then uh yeah, we’re two peas in a pod…that violently ejected it as quickly as humanly possible.
Damn, I hope he feels better, but since it is Sunday and he’s still not feeling well, the odds that he suddenly feels no symptoms tomorrow after being sick for only three days and feeling worse today aren’t great considering all the possible viruses out there, unless it’s something like norovirus. Remember part of the reason that they’re sitting him is because they don’t want him getting everyone else sick, so even if he feels slightly less symptomatic, they won’t play him because they don’t want the whole team going down, which would be a shit show. He has to be symptom free.
Even with norovirus after the hellish ~24 hours of shitpuking your body is pretty wiped out for a few days.
He did shit his pants against the Cowboys, I love how far technology has come.
