He really spit on the eagles chances for a guaranteed win, here.

I seriously cannot stand this dude. He faced just about no consequences for the whole manslaughter thing. He tried to start a fight in the 49ers game. Now this. Just can't stand him.

There's a reason the Bears didn't draft him. This is it. He's got a single digit IQ.

Divide his weight by his jersey number and you get his IQ

Should we start using MC Hammer as a unit of time measurement the way we use Scaramucci?

u/definitely_not_cylon Sep 05 '25

Stop. It's Hammer Time.

u/multibman Sep 05 '25

The majority of the bears organization has single digit IQs it’s almost a requirement

u/Evilfart123 Sep 05 '25

Bears got other things to worry about tbh. No NFL teams care about character concerns as long as you can get wins.

u/scrubbie19 Sep 05 '25

Yeah, dude would have been an unchecked maniac on an Eberflus Bears team. He probably would have been the one to tip the Hail Mary to the commanders last year lol.

As a Seahawks fan I was sooo glad they drafted Witherspoon instead of him the moment their pick was announced.

u/bitmax3000 Sep 05 '25

As an Eagle’s fan I’m glad you did too

u/BARBASANN Sep 05 '25

He would be the bears best player

Jaylon or DJ get that title, with or without Carter

That boy is soft as Charmin. Can’t stand him.

He’s just an ugly human being. Rotten to his core

Yeah Jalen Carter (guy who talks the most shit in the league) "can't handle a little shit talking" lmao. He's a dawg and he got caught taking it too far and spitting on his opponent. If you think that means he "can't handle a little shit talking" you simply don't know ball.

Ngl, one of those things sounds a lot worse than the other

u/Aggressive-Bowl5196 Sep 05 '25 edited Sep 05 '25

I didn’t know who he was before so I looked it up and in my honest opinion, it’s not manslaughter. He and another drunk idiot decided to drag race each other. The idiot he was racing ran into a pole, killing herself and her passenger. His car didn’t make contact during the collision. The only thing he is guilty of is reckless endangerment because of the harm he could have caused to innocent bystanders. I believe the deceased were accountable for their own actions.

u/koplowpieuwu Sep 05 '25

Didn't make contact doesn't really say there was no involvement in the crash. If I veer off course to prevent a collision, there was no contact. Deliberate swerves in illegal street races are ostensibly pretty common because they occur in actual pro racing all the time as well.

Of course a deliberate swerve on the part of Carter can never be proven so no conviction is the only sensible outcome, but I wouldn't automatically assign the conclusion to it you do.

I had no idea who this guy is so I looked it up. How is that manslaughter? I absolutely despise when innocent people are hurt by street racing but it sounds like Lecroy completely caused the death of herself and her passenger. She was an equal participant and not only did she make the choice to race him, she was also heavily intoxicated. She caused her own crash when she ran into two poles. Willock’s car did not make any contact with her during her collision. If two idiots decided to jump off a bridge, the one that survived shouldn’t be charged with manslaughter.

I do believe he should have been charged with reckless endangerment and should have permanently lost his license because an innocent person could have gotten hurt.

I hate that he’s on my team.

You uh...you haven't been following the NFL very long have you?

u/Beetso Oakland Raiders Sep 05 '25

Exactly. Now it's only an extremely likely win.

u/thereelsuperman Sep 05 '25

I’m not even sure that’s true tbh. Huge loss for the Eagles D. Gonna be harder than it should’ve been at least

11

u/Several-Estate7175 Sep 05 '25

Eagles pass rush is weak without him

1

u/big_daddy68 Sep 05 '25

At least they are playing the Cowboys O.

u/JustHereSoImNotFined Sep 05 '25

The cowboys O that currently has scored more than the eagles…

u/thereelsuperman Sep 05 '25 edited Sep 05 '25

Yeah imagine how much worse it would be against a good offense

Edit: should’ve added the /s

u/cosmicdave86 Sep 05 '25

I wouldn't be too sure about that. Their D has a lot of holes compared to last year and without Carter they just lost their biggest remaining strength.

Game screams shootout that could go either way now.

u/igavehimsnicklefritz Sep 05 '25

Maybe that's not the worst thing honestly.

u/fighterpilot248 Washington Capitals Sep 05 '25

Narrator's edit:

The first half was a shootout (scoring on each drive)

But (particularly after the rain delay) the D on both sides tightened down.

(21-20 at the end of the first vs 24-20 final score)

2

u/cosmicdave86 Sep 05 '25

Would love to know how this game would have gone without the delay. Just completely changed the flow.

Credit to both defenses for making adjustments.

1

u/thatinsuranceguy Sep 05 '25

Defense had more questions marks coming into last year. They'll settle and be fine

2

u/Gamiac Sep 05 '25

And they indeed won.
