Fundamentals folks!!! You never tackle with your head down! Coach's will be using this as an example for decades!!!!!

It's only an example because it came at one of the most crucial possible times.
Defenders whiff on tackles pretty often (which amazes me since this is their primary task...).
He's a rookie with a lot of pressure on his shoulders in this spot. He could have won the game... we whiffed.
Know nothing about him but I truly feel bad for him, hope this makes him a better player in the future.

To me, just looked like he totally whiffed...

...like did someone radio to him RIGHT before that play and say, "Got some $$$$$$$$$$ for you if you let this TD happen." Just can't see it.

Regardless, I wanted Minnesota to win because I think they have the best chance of taking out the dumbass Eagles.

I had a dream that one day all players will learn to properly tackle and the Redskins shall rise up and break free from the shackles of mediocrity to win another damn Super Bowl.

An actual great quote by MLK Jr...

“Everybody can be great … because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”

What I heard is that the coaches told them what ever you do no interference penalties. If you look it seems he was trying to avoid hitting Diggs. My new Brother In Law is from Minnesota so they have kind of become my second team. I guess its easy to make them my second team when they are having a winning year.

Well when everyone and their mom knows NE is going to win the SB AGAIN it gets old, Also The Vikings / Saints or Falcons are not huge draws to the nation. Philly has because they have a larger fan base.

Overall the game has gotten weaker and watered down, no more big hits, teams just throw 6 yard passes (Dallas, NE, etc. ) and leagues like the NBA nd MLB Market their stars much better.

The whole kneeling thing didn't help

College Football and the NBA, ratings are way up

Not a surprise, college has a huge following all over the country, bigger than NFL? No but sometimes they can sneak in there.

NBA is a little surprising considering the warriors and cavs / Lebron dominance.

I watch more NHL lately than anything else which is a shock to myself even lol.

I think the kneeling thing had a bigger affect on attendance then many want to admit.

Any effect that it had at all was extremely minimal. Like others pointed out, the NFL was noticing attendance problems, among other things, well before the anthem protests began.
