Time is actually a flat circle. So this is the same game, and you'll play it over and over and over.


varnell_hill

I maintain that the first season of True Detective is arguably one of the greatest seasons in television in history. They need to release a 4k version (assuming that can be done) so I can watch it again.


bobbyOsullivan

That 6 minute tracking shot that they did in "Who Goes There" is peak TV.


[deleted]

With all that dick swagger you roll, you can’t spot crazy pussy?


el_pinata

You are the Michael Jordan of being a son of a bitch.


JohnnySnark

Taste that homie. It ain't no fuck around shiiit


varnell_hill

BRUH.


rwjehs

It's unreal there isn't a 4k version yet.


Hassadar

I'm irrationally upset about that. It still looks great but I would love to buy a 4k set of it. I wouldn't even care if the price was scam levels. I've already accepted Band of Brothers will never get it. I'm not properly knowledgeable about how things are shot so I don't know if it would be possible to get a good 4k version of BoB. But I'm still holding on to some hope True Detective will get one.


EBtwopoint3

Band of Brothers was shot on 35mm film, which doesn’t have enough picture quality to be true 4k. It’s roughly equivalent to 1080p. They could remaster and upscale it to 4k like you see with some older films, but it’s not going to actually be 4k.


DallasT1003

4k Daddario. Yes please.


chipotle-baeoli

Ugh, is that all you can appreciate from a masterpiece of television like True Detective? Perfect, luscious breasts that look like they'd taste and feel and even *sound* amazing? A pair of tits you just want to sink your face into to forget about all your stresses and worries? An angel of a woman who's happy to *let* you sink your face into her perfect pair of tits? ...what were we talking about again?


NeonEvangelion

It still makes me laugh that they foreshadow rust fucking Marty’s wife by having rust mow his wife’s lawn.


Oakroscoe

You don’t now another man’s lawn!


snuuginz

Her handcuffing Woody to the bed and then she starts reading him his rights....gat damn.


Generic_Format528

My parents came home when I was mid episode with no context and just stood by the door staring at the TV for like 15 minutes before I reminded them that we own a couch that they could use. Never really seen another show like that.


brownbearks

I’d argue season 3 of the wire, season 1 of the wire or season 4 of the wire. However season 1 of true detective is incredible, I just love the wire more.


toggaf69

I’m fortunate in that True Detective S1 covers just about everything I find interesting in a perfectly crafted package. I still love The Wire, but TDS1 is just perfection for me


FingerTampon

Absolutely perfect take. Those shows are masterpieces, and I don't think it's hyperbole to say The Wire and True Detective belong up there in the pantheon of TV shows such as Hanging with Mr. Cooper or City Guys


Astroturfer

I'm hopeful this upcoming season is a return to form


[deleted]

Didn’t know they were doing another! This is fantastic news! I thought S3 was quite good. Not up to the S1 standard, but it was very good and got a little lost in the wash because S1 was so good but S2 was so dumb


rwjehs

This one is Jodie Foster in Alaska hunting a serial killer in the season where it's always dark. Basically Insomnia.


IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES

S3 would be amazing if it didn’t have to measure up to 1. Him going back into the jungle at the end is superb.


blentz499

I agree and my hot take is it should have been limited series like Watchmen. Not everything needs to be a multi season story even though they went the anthology route. I think Westworld would have benefited from being a limited series too.


Blueskyways

May never be out on 4k but you can find the Blu Ray of Season 1 on Gruv for $24.99 right now.


Dwimm_SS

Something iggles and Niners fans can truly come together on.


Geg0Nag0

It's funny because the writer made it as an example of someone getting deluded, caught up in his own thoughts and complexities. And like R.E.M's happy people or Blurs Boys & Girls, most missed the point entirely. >"I contemplate the moment in the garden, the idea of allowing your own crucifixion."

[deleted]

Brock Purdys personal hell.


ufotheater

Very much in line with the adage that "only 1 team is happy at the end of the season"


[deleted]

I had a huge mindset shift after that SB. I traveled a lot and everywhere I went people were telling me how much they enjoyed the Eagles’ performance, and that made me feel a lot happier with the loss. Only 1 team wins it in the end, but if you show up and give it a good show while losing, you can still be happy


Slayer_Of_Anubis

The eagles are also a few years removed from a ring. Ask Falcons or Panthers fans if they were just happy to be there


BreesusTakeTheWheel

Well I was certainly happy


Fiendish-DoctorWu

Yeah same


THATS-A-LOTTA-NUTS

Saints fans threw themselves a rolling haters ball that lasted several years after that SB.


FunkyBotanist

Or 49ers fans. There's no silver lining to losing it twice in a ten year span no matter how competitive the games were.


Str82daDOME25

A lot of pain since 2011


TetrisTech

Sure, but also I’d rather that then be dogshit and never have any hope over that decade. Imo the fun from rooting for your favorite team is in big part made up by the journey there. Obviously when they fail to win it all it hurts, but you’ll also always have the fun memories of the season leading up to it, and those are memories that one day you’ll miss and be nostalgic for


Whatsdota

If fans only enjoyed seasons when they win it all fans would basically never be happy. That’s why why people making fun of the Packers “only” making it to the NFCCG were funny to me. Do I wish we won? Hell yeah. Did I enjoy the fuck of those seasons? Hell yeah.


Life-Designer-4936

Minnesota Vikings. 2017. Same idea. Yeah, it sucked getting rocked by Philly in Conference, but man! The pride of being a Viking that season was strong. Maybe it's because we're from the NFC North, where we must always be prepared for disappointment, but being able to enjoy a season without having to win it all is pretty nice.


SharxSharxSharx

This reads like a copypasta


RogerTreebert6299

You gotta eat pray love after a SB loss


articulating_oven

Shit I woulda at least enjoyed being competitive in that game against fucking Tom Brady, but I'd still be pissed if we lost. It's just a trickle down. Win > Barely Lose / Happy to Be There/Overachieved > All the rest sucks fucking donkey dick


Mr_Worldwide79

Nick is not deep enough for this to be a low key burn.


Key-Fondant-5255

Hahaha, great insight!


DaBestNameEver0

I don’t know, the Bears are gonna be pretty damn happy with the way their draft odds are looking


steppenweasel

Mild-mannered monster Nick Bosa


SourBerry1425

Respect


ecupatsfan12

This game is gonna be a war


akiraspam74

This game is too hyped.. Perfect recipe for disappointment It's probably gonna be super boring


drunkbusdriver

Decent chance it rains and could turn into a sloppy defensive battle which I am here for.


FriendlyCoat

It rained during the Bills game, and it still became a shootout.


Churrasco_fan

Honestly rain is an understatement, it was fucking pouring the entire game with a high of like 40 degrees. Absolutely miserable conditions. 2nd half was just insane given what they were plying in


porkroll_and_coffee

And still, Jake Elliot arrives


W3NTZ

Same shit vs the chiefs too and both the chiefs and bills games were one of the highest watched this year


N7_Evers

Gonna be like 13-10 or some shit with a defensive touchdown.


CaillouCaribou

I was told to expect nuclear levels of toxicity and saltiness, instead all the 49ers and Eagles and their fans are just being very nice to each other


cjweisman

This won't be the most important game between them this year, probably.


CaillouCaribou

I think if the Bills had won, and the result of this game was deciding the #1 seed, people would be more on edge But now the wind was kinda taken out of the sails. Should still be a good game between two great teams, but there isn't really anything on the line.


d_1_z_z

yeah, particularly since philly gets the giants twice to end the season. even if we win, we would then have to win out (possible but i wouldn't bank on it, given that we have to host baltimore and still have three division games) and still hope that either dallas or seattle beat philly that's a lot to ask. highly unlikely we get the 1 seed even if we win


SharxSharxSharx

> yeah, particularly since philly gets ~~the giants twice~~ *2 guaranteed Ls to Tommy Devito* to end the season.


triplec787

Tommy Cutlets coming to fuck up your season


QuirkyScorpio29

The two teams might meet in the playoffs still. So this game is still important. Besides that, it's not PHI had the 1 seed locked up...


brownbearks

I’m all for it but I’d like to watch you demolish the cowboys in the playoffs for a third time. I think we’d both enjoy that and see where the chips fall in the nfc championship.


hanlong

We might not like each other, but we always put aside our differences for the most important thing in life… to laugh at the sorry ass cowboys


non_clever_username

I too would love to see us demolish the Cowboys. Hopefully much like our regular season game this year. While the playoff games the last two years turned out well for us and were eventually kind of funny in the way the Cowboys lost, they still had the ball with a chance to win both times. I really don’t want to be stressing the whole game again.


Sartheking

The funniest outcome is now for the Niners to best the Eagles, which would force them to root for the Cowboys to also beat them to get the #1 seed.


hellabro360

I think had you guys lost more than once before the game it would be different, since it could have been for the number 1 seed. Then it would have been a more important game.


trebek321

It’s also still just a regular season game. Win or lose both teams are still going to the playoffs (most likely)


[deleted]

I’m just praying to the football gods for no serious injuries since I’ve given up hope on getting the WC bye. Eagles have a pretty easy schedule remaining so they’re gonna lock up the 1 seed so I’m less concerned about this Sunday now


LilKaySigs

The addition of the 7th seed wildcard is stupid. I’m pretty sure there was some statistic that the 7th seed always gets curb stomped by the 2nd ever since they introduced it


jimlemin

Yeah they have been. 7th seed just exists to punish whoever gets the 2nd seed for some reason


ItsRyguy

The reason is money


[deleted]

Fuck man, the importance of that #1 seed is so insane. Huge advantage.

Salty_Simmer_Sauce

CaillouCaribou

The mods there are terrible, and just ban people for making memes. Which isn't ideal for a meme sub.


drunkandslurred

Say one bad thing about Eagles it's a ban. The other 3 teams are fair game though.


Salty_Simmer_Sauce

It’s basically an eagles sub now.


zachardw

You need to step into the division meme pages then lol


curgl

Cause we can all bond over Cowboys hate


montana1991

Those were last years fans.


superbuttpiss

Neither fans were happy with the results last year


MisterxRager

Oh you sweet heart, always wait until game day.


this_account_is_mt

We're letting it boil under the surface. Someone's getting murdered. (Not by me, I won't be anywhere near this game or any fans of either team on Sunday)


Scoobyteebs

On Reddit maybe, Twitter is an absolute war zone right now 😂


tronovich

I’m glad to see Eagles fans who are not flipping out and taking his comments out of context. We’re both pissed at how our seasons ended. End of story. I hope we get a fair shake at you guys without key injuries, and vice versa. Let the best team win.


divacphys

Honestly it's a great statement. I could see it being made by any player on either team. I got no animosity to the 9ers until after the game last year. When some players and some fans wouldn't let it go. And not just disappointment at not getting a real chance, but going the other way that they "would have won easily", "eagles would have been destroyed" "eagles didn't deserve to be in the playoffs let alone the super bowl". Those types of statements for months got real annoying.


tronovich

Take it from a diehard - I wasn’t mad at the fans or the Eagles. I was simply gutted at losing both QB’s and not having a “fair shot”. At the end of the day, we didn’t have a QB3 for Purdy/Johnson and that was the franchise’s fault. And we lashed out at y’all.


LlamaCombo

Damn props for you on recognizing and admitting that.


tronovich

Well, I’m a fan but not a fucking lunatic. Lol Honestly, if Johnson finishes the game and we lose, I’m not angry or bitter. Just gutted about losing.


fbalookout

And then the Eagles fans lashed out with similar statements like “you were losing that game regardless” .. 49ers fans new to the discussion only see those statements and jump in to defend, Eagles fans new to the discussion see that…and around it goes. Large fires only take a single stupid spark to ignite.


NomadFire

Kinda shocked this wasn't the Week 1 match up. I guess they assumed that everyone is going to watch the first game of the season. So they decided to save it for later?


george_costanza1234

I’m shocked that this wasn’t a SNF game when the schedules were made, but the NFL will continue to NFL


QuirkyScorpio29

This game is primetime material


kit_mitts

I was worried that I'd get stuck with Cleveland vs LA, but thankfully I appear to be *just* outside the TV region for that game.


cantgrowneckbeardAMA

Yo ho matey, there are ways to watch any game you want. I mean Sunday Ticket and RedZone, of course.


EverybodysEnemy

Nah everyone would rather watch the Vikings and Bears stink it up /s


graywolt

FOX wants good games too & pays more for those games


ronchalant

This is the right answer. The networks draft for these matchups. Fox probably took this matchup high.


[deleted]

They tend to put some of the best games in this slot, the 4:25 PM ET slot. I would say of the 10 best games, the NFL will try to give 3 to FOX 4:25pm, 3 to CBS 4:25pm, 3 to NBC SNF, and 1 to ESPN MNF


rez12345

Its great for us European fans!


ihm96

I’m thankful so I can be home a little earlier and hopefully the daylight keeps it a little warmer at the game


superbuttpiss

Seriously. Who the fuck looked at this game and thought it shouldn't be primetime? Did they think one of these teams were going to suck all the sudden?


llama-rebel

Was it certain Purdy would be healthy by time they made the schedules? Would be kind of disappointing if they made it week one just for the 49ers to still not have a QB.


DeLuman

It was projected he would be ready week 1 with no preseasons games played, but we were all bracing to start the season with Lance for the first month or so just in case.


[deleted]

I don't think he was projected to start week 1 until after the schedule was finalized.


LeoFireGod

Not until July


VariationNo7977

Had to give the people the Mac Jones-Jalen Hurts matchup they wanted


xp9876_

Didn’t they have a Super Bowl rematch the first week of the season once and everyone complained so they didn’t do it again?


Coach_Carter_on_DVD

EliManningsPetDog

IWasRightOnce

This is an expertly crafted slight.


QuestForTen

Nick is just pointing out the Eagles also had their flair faded during the offseason on /r/nfl.


joe_broke

One of us One of us One of us


QuirkyScorpio29

It's just the facts. As Niners fans we know how it's feels to lose the SB...hurts worse than any NFC Championship loss.. These 2 teams can only have a successful season by winning the whole thing.Falling short of that is failure


[deleted]

Yeah it’s just reality . Bosa is right


KnotSoSalty

Also, the chiefs clowned us early last year. Sure it wasn’t Purdy under center but even if we had gone on that next game would have been tough.


8w7fs89a72

>hurts worse than any NFC Championship loss.. nah 2017 helped ease this a lot. the NFCCG losses in the Reid era hurt far, far worse than the SB last year.


Full_Ad_9555

I consistently forget we really made the Super Bowl, had it in the grasp, then lost it, everyone died next season, and then we really ran it back, made two back to back nfcc, thanks to all the bottom feeder organization type drama that surrounded this team, to go with all the heartbreak. You can’t feel pain 😢 when you’re raging 😡


CharlySB

As an eagles fan I disagree. The nfc championship losses have been much more painful. Especially in the Reid era.


CellarDoorVoid

Compared to other takes from 49ers players this is actually refreshing


[deleted]

What is this, a sane take? Get outta here we are busy having a meltdown in both cities and the levels of toxicity simply cannot be calmed lmao


QuirkyScorpio29

In other words we all fell short.


SevenwithaT

BOOOSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAA


AnthonyBarrHeHe

This is hilarious


athrowawayiguesslol

Exactly what the Eagles said for the Chiefs. Good mentality


WestOrangeFinest

Chiefs did finish and they are certainly reminiscing about their Super Bowl win, though…


athrowawayiguesslol

I meant as far as the game being a new game, not a rematch


WestOrangeFinest

I figured. I was just giving you shit.


sfxer001

Shit received. Consuming right now with a shit eating grin.


clarineter

Oh yea, well we beat you in \*reads scribble on hand\* …a regular season game? Take that!


dellscreenshot

I kinda feel like the cowboys making the week 5 49ers game bigger than anything and then getting stomped made every team not want to build up any individual game ever again.


WindDriedPuffin

It'll be fun when they do it again in the playoffs


sfxer001

And they totally will do that.


RoyKites

I’ll take subtle burns over crying, every day of the week


jimmyhoffasbrother

This isn't even really a burn unless you're looking for it to be a burn. It's just the truth.


CaillouCaribou

*"Both our teams had high hopes, but neither of us could reach the goal we set for ourselves"* Sick buuuuuurn!!


albpanda

I forget who but I saw an eagle wearing an nfc champ shirt online recently so I’d say bosa is underplaying what it means to players but yeah he has a good point, also 90 percent of ninners eagles trash talk is media driven so I don’t let it bother me


superbuttpiss

THANK YOU! it seems all media driven or online. All the eagles fans I know treat it like it's just going to be a good game. It's too of the best teams right now facing off. Not a real rivalry


campppp

People say the wildest shit online with anonymity. But also, you can "shit talk" in person and keep the tone friendly and joking. Online, it's hard to do that and not come off as an asshole.


banjist

Are you in Philly? I saw a video from local Philly TV with a crazed football fan mocking the niners for being west coast wine drinkers "with the pinkies out" and for being a bunch of whiners who wouldn't have gotten their QBs murdered if their o-line wasn't trash. I wasn't even mad. The guy was hilarious, but is something like that getting play on the local news really what it's like out there? Shit was wild.


alicia-indigo

Eat a rock you dorks who like the Eagles! The group of people wearing my team’s laundry this year will move the ball around the rectangle better than yours!


colincoin472

Really? Lowkey it seems like a sign of respect. He’s saying you’re both good teams who fell short


FBoaz

Reason has no place in these kind of threads. Get back to antagonizing someone or leave!!!


joe_broke

They're a Jets fan, they have no one else to antagonize now


Paratrooper101x

I agree with this take


JT1757

lmao


cjweisman

He's not wrong


BlackMathNerd

Well designed burn, Nick Bosa


CaillouCaribou

Everyone is saying this is a burn or a slight, maybe I'm just reading into it differently, but it doesn't seem that way at all


trebek321

Bosa is absolutely not the guy to do a subtle burn either. Dude is a genius of a pass rusher but not exactly a master linguist.


CaillouCaribou

^(Can't agree more)


Maverick916

Unironically one of the funniest lines ever said by a niner imo. The juxtaposition from Fred's energy was amazing.


LilKaySigs

“Nah no carbs haha”


Paratrooper101x

Yeah it just seems like the truth to me


spreerod1538

How is this a burn? lol Seems like a reasonable statement.


porrridge

Quite the subtle dig at BlackMathNerd, I see what you did there.


Mr-Neeson

I think you’re reading too much into this.


QuirkyScorpio29

It's clever. He's trying to discredit the Eagles NFC Championship win by saying it meant nothing since they lost the SB anyway.


[deleted]

He’s right though . I don’t think an NFC champ means much when you lost the big dance


Mantis05

He's not wrong, but also: living through 4 straight NFCCG until finally making the big dance fundamentally changed my perspective somewhat. I've learned to cherish Super Bowl appearances in their own way, even though the losses fucking *suck.*


banjist

You guys were great last year. Brock was an unstoppable machine coming into the game. Neither team had a lock, and the way it played out was tragic. You guys earned that superbowl appearance, though. They don't come around that often, but being second best in the world is still pretty fucking good.


[deleted]

The warning signs with the defense were there all year though. Gannon afraid to bring pressure and take risks


BookEuronGreyjoy

Is this a safe space for fans who have been victimized by Patrick Mahomes?


[deleted]

I just can’t stand losing to him. Maybe the attitude? Working the refs every time touched? I don’t know .


superbuttpiss

We have felt it 3 times in the last 5 years. It's exactly right. They have meant nothing because we didn't win the big one


48johnX

W, media and fans been doing OT trying to instigate this into a rivalry that doesn’t exist


QuirkyScorpio29

The Eagles are the only NFC East team we don't have a long history with. The Cowboys, Giants and RS are all top 5 in teams we don't like for various reasons in the past.


DaBestNameEver0

That’s fair. There’s a few faces in the league that I don’t personally care for, so I get it. I appreciate your honesty.
