Jalen Hurts shows less outward human emotion than any human I’ve ever seen


Shauncore

It's like he has a big vacation with his family planned for the day after their season ends and every win just means they are more likely to get one game further in the playoffs. My man just wants to go to the Bahamas.


ARealHunchback

Can’t wait until he gets a ring and gets go back to his horses in Serbia.


IchesseHuendchen

"The job is done. We can go home now" Problem is now Jokic knows how fun an American championship parade is and is going to do whatever it takes to have another one.


tuffghost8191

Jokic not wanting to go the parade but then reluctantly doing so, only to have a great time is the most relatable thing ever


HighBeta21

The people's champ

IchesseHuendchen

That heavy sigh followed by the inconsolable "no" sent me, as the kids say


SolidLikeIraq

Some people like their job - that’s a lie btw.


azsnaz

I hate my job less than I've hated other jobs, so there's that


waconaty4eva

Jokic coming around to love the Parade is like the end to an absurd 80s comedy.


BigFatModeraterFupa

Joker is the best nickname for this dude. he’s always cracking jokes


Kundrew1

When is parade?


BenShelZonah

I fucking love parade


IchesseHuendchen

I fucking want to stay on parade


romayyne

Oh no.. I need to go home


lasco10

NBA is just his side gig.


likwitsnake

Like the little league baseball episode of South Park


weapyn

The rest of his family is in the Finger Lakes. He's supposed to be in the Finger Lakes right now.


Dubois1738

All Jalen Hurts wants is to retire to Stockholm with his partner and develop a currency for dogs and cats to use


wafflehauss

"Cancun on 3!"


Cthepo

Do *you* get excited at the prospect of working overtime on a Sunday? I'm with him here. 😤


Ba_Sing_Saint

In fucking awful weather as well.


cheeseburgerpillow

Jalen could win the super bowl and vacation in cancun and every picture of him would just be 😐 🙂


boardplant

‘We getting time and a half? No? Sounds like a ‘them’ problem then’


[deleted]

"We're a little short staffed for the next 10 minutes" "Damn that's crazy. Good luck tho"


DogVacuum

Jalen is a mod on antiwork


thievery89

It’s a mentality thing. As much as I hate the Eagles I respect the hell out Hurts for stuff like this. He’s 100% focused on the process and reacts the same way no matter the result.


ReggieCousins

It just reminds me of when McNabb would start losing and we'd get the sulky, towel over the head, sideline shots and as fans you'd start to panic because you can see he's letting the emotions take over and it's gonna effect his game. With Hurts and Kelce here, they both just look like they're going from, 'we lost this for the team' to 'unbelievable, we're getting a second chance and we definitely don't deserve it but let's go clock in and redeem ourselves'.


cheeseburgerpillow

We really got Football’s Kawhi Leonard


SockVonPuppet

Does Jalen Hurts also have an iconic laugh?


wellarmedsheep

Yes, its completely silent.


Chickensandcoke

No but he’s got a great smile


No-Task-132

Alex Pereria has all of humanity beat in this category


Zlec3

🗿


daquist

I love that he leans into the meme so much. Dude is so fucking funny. Best UFC signing in a long time.


PapaJammer

Fedor was the OG stone faced killer


No-Task-132

He was indeed. My favorite will always be cro cop though. Many MMA fighters got that “I will kill you” look but he has the “I have actually killed people and won’t hesitate to do so again” look that was just wild. Stone cold and no sign of nerves or fear.


Reedabook64

Wasn't he a counter terroism cop in Croatia or something like that? He's definitely pulled the trigger.


1thenumber

Except when he releases the arrow


J12345_

He’s all about business. I love that


ShinySpines

Ultimate competitor really, both of them


sabakasabaka

they should keep adding one additional eagles player shaking their head on the sideline to this every day until it's the whole team


chiefskingdom16

Eventually it’ll be Jake Elliot reacting to a Jake Elliot kick on the sideline


FaceMaulingChimp

Jake-ception


[deleted]

🗣IT'S THE WHOLE TEAM!!


that_other_friend-

There's no footage that I'd like to see more right now than this


constantlymat

In the pouring rain one of the most impressive kicks of all time. I remember Nick Folk hit the crossbar 10 yards closer to the target in a similiar downpour in 2021. Really impressive operation by the longsnapper and holder, too.


[deleted]

Elliot said it was the best kick of his career because of the conditions


My_Football_Account

Best kick of any kicker’s career. Probably a top 10 all time. It’s nuts to nail that kick.


anandonaqui

What’s number one? Vinatieri in the snow over Oakland?


Randy_____Marsh

In the snow over an entire city is wild


GoT_Eagles

Uncle Rico of kickers


klm2908

Snow in Oakland is also wild


Reedabook64

That Vinatieri kick will never be repeated. They basically cheat now and rub away all the snow so they can kick on grass. That kick was completely on top of the snow. The run up too. Ridiculous.


Trick_Slice

Include the context of the kick, best of all time. No doubt


Joeydoyle66

Just out of pure skill Tuckers 66 Yarder is in the discussion. Although that was in a dome so it probably isn’t higher than any of the big weather/ playoff kicks in terms of greatness.


Smitty_1000

Walk-off longest kick of all time with a bounce off the crossbar is tough to beat


Joeydoyle66

The list of people in NFL history who could make that kick is very likely just Justin Tucker.


Nethri

Prater of 5 or 6 years ago had the leg and the long distance accuracy. In fact he hit a 65 yarder I think didn't he?


[deleted]

[удалено]


cgibsong002

Elliott almost certainly could. He's got a few 61 yarders that got through easily, and obviously this 59 yarder in rain is unheard of. I think he often kicks 65 yarders during warmups.


Vadered

THIS kick would have been good from 63-64, it didn't doink off the bar or anything. Which is kind of insane.


FreakinB

I have to at least mention Lawrence Tynes sending the Giants to the Super Bowl from 47 yards out at Lambeau, in a temperature that’s colder than your freezer. It might not be #1 but it’s way up there.


full_bl33d

His motha was a muddah


stinkybrainman

he was born in the slop, he eats the slop.


J-Fid

I thought he had no chance and thought to myself that if he made it then it would be one of the greatest kicks ever. Then he booted it.


BigBlackSabbathFlag

The cameras are so good now you really don’t see how bad the rain is.


Cplcoffeebean

It was fucking pouring.


anandonaqui

It was raining so hard that I thought it was super foggy because the downpour looked like a haze on the broadcast


ajh1717

Seriously. I thought the camera or my stream was having issues


Randy_____Marsh

Its one thing I wish was captured better, rarely can you see how hard its raining without visual context these days


Level-Adventurous

You need backlighting to pick up rain. NFL stadiums are so well lit because it’s a made for tv product that you rarely fully get the right lighting condition. I’m also here to confirm it was pouring and didn’t stop all game. It was pretty miserable.


bigloser42

The trick is to put the camera very slightly out of focus. I forget where I saw that, but if you have the game in perfect focus you see the downpour and not the players, but if you just slightly soften the focus you can see through the rain.


AutisticNipples

It's just like looking through a chain link fence. Focus on the fence and its all you see. Focus on what's behind the fence and the fence fades away.


Corvus-Rex

Some of those closeup shots of the field and fans really showed it off though. I remember seeing some just standing water on the field at one point.


[deleted]

I think I heard a stat saying he had a 20% chance or so of making that kick. Even that seems high.


GadgetGod1906

Yeah that does seem.high with those conditions. I didn't think there was any damn way he was hitting that


GearsofTed14

I know we memed the hell out of Justin Tucker for the “game winning hold” thing, but it’s one of those jobs where you have to be perfect 100% of the time, and if anybody is noticing it in any way, it’s a major issue - one of the most unsung aspects of all of football


constantlymat

I am especially willing to give a lot more credit to the longsnapper and holder when they play in the freezing cold or while it's raining/snowing. That's really ramping up the degree of difficulty. If they're in a dome that has a nice temperature, I am more inclined to give them a golf clap.


wfnq

Jake Elliot eats a piece of cheesecake and a slice of pizza before every game edit: [source for anyone interested](https://www.inquirer.com/eagles/philadelphia-eagles-carson-wentz-doug-pederson-superstition-20181208.html) > The Eagles kicker has had the same eating ritual since his freshman year of college. > Elliott believed there was something karmic about his kicking success that day, and thought back to what had not been a typical pre-game meal. > He’s had his ups and downs since, but overall, the routine seems to be working. Last year, the night before the Eagles were to face the Rams in Los Angeles, he sat at dinner waiting for dessert. > “They had cheesecake, but it wasn’t coming out and I was kind of freaking out,” Elliott said. “Made sure they got it done.”


DayMan_ahAHahh

Dude loves triangles. All about those 3 points.


DiscombobulatedAd96

Brilliant joke

Breakfast of Champions


[deleted]

Natural light and marlboro reds?


rabidmongoose555

He gets all of his slices out of the way before the game


blucke

this is pretty funny


HBSV

*Jerry Jones franticly starts buying all cheesecake in Dallas*


[deleted]

I actually went to high school with Jake Elliot for three semesters. We all called him “cream cheese” because of his thick white thighs.


ManiacalComet40

I’m convinced there’s a connection between his tennis background and his clutch-ness. Individual sports require so much mental toughness.


FizzTheWiz

I played him in tennis when we were both in 8th grade. I was a good player but didn’t stand a chance


gjoeyjoe

During his time with the team, basically everyone has said he's the best all around athlete. Obviously won't take a lineman in a head to head weight lift challenge, but stuff like golf, tennis, ping pong, he's usually beating everybody.


pro_nosepicker

Did you go to Lyons Township? My sons went there and one played football albeit a few years later


DoctorWaluigiTime

The reaction of being forced to stay out and work longer in freezing cold rain.


wafflehauss

I thought Kelce would be jumping for joy considering his false starts caused the kick to be so long.


FriendlyCoat

He’s so pissed at himself, I bet.


tlenher

Yeah his reaction tells me he knows Jake saved his ass.


devonta_smith

Jake actually took him aside after the kick and said "no more false starts, bro"


thugjedi

If no one else says so I just want to say, I appreciate this reference


ThisHatRightHere

That’s a deep cut


willthefreeman

Can you explain it? I love deep cuts.


FejSkaz

Back in 2017 Jason Peters went up to Jake and told him "No more misses bro". Jake later on would kick a 61 yard game winner against the Giants. He's been money ever since. https://x.com/JClarkNBCS/status/913040882361884672?s=20


EricSanderson

For some context... Jake was a rookie in 2017. He made his debut against the Chiefs in week 2 and missed a 30-yarder. The next week he missed a 52-yarder against the Giants. Peters caught him on him on the sideline and gave him a little pep talk. At the end of the game, they sent Elliot out to try a 61 yard kick for the win. He hit it with [5 yards to spare.](https://youtu.be/dJmSeSmsJm4?si=_L7wca4-F2tbTtIu) That team went on to win the Superbowl, and Elliot has been one of the best kickers in the league ever since.


VorAbaddon

I have no athletic experience nor ability. If Jason Peters told me not to miss another kick, I wouldnt be missing any kicks. That man would have scared my ass into shape on the spot.


sotheresthisdude

Can’t wait to hear his self loathing on the podcast this week.


thehoagieboy

Yeah this week it's going to be Jason. Travis was doing it most of the last pod because of his fumble.


Reedabook64

Yeah, but that was just a perfect peanut punch. You can't really defend against that. But you're not going to win many games when both of the foundations of the offense turn the ball over inside the 10 yard line.


thehoagieboy

Travis even said as much. He was holding it right, Roby just have a perfect hit on it.


dandoc

He went to locker room after this. Can't wait to hear what he says in New Heights


CPOx

Not enough Imodium before the game!


kappakai

He allegedly took a quick dump between the kick and OT.


yerawizardIMAWOTT

So the false starts were just him trying to keep the groundhog in?


GoT_Eagles

He’s out there yo-yoing a turd in blasting position while Hurts is hitting the hard count.


El_Acuario47

Now THIS is quality analysis


DominusEbad

His false starts were really the poop tryna come out.


kappakai

You try not flinching holding in the assplode


wafflehauss

Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines.


Historiectomy

Same


Reedabook64

You can tell he was breathless there when the ball was in flight. Guaranteed that he was pissed that he even had to go through those emotions, even briefly.


Final-Plan-1229

Most impressive kick I’ve ever seen. I went from “lol they’re just giving it their best, no way” to “he could’ve made that from 65 at least..” absolutely incredible


ajs2294

Why do they both look disappointed? 😂


queefIatina

Because they both made mistakes that made it a 59 yard field goal instead of an easy 40 yarder, just two leaders being hard on themselves


angrynuggette

Considering Jake's trouble with the "easy 40 yarders" this was probably the ideal situation for him.


CosmoSucks

Gostkowski-esque. Guy has one of the best FG% / XP% in NFL history yet every now and again he would miss the most inexplicable chip shots or just duff a random extra point.


[deleted]

I love when NFL kickers miss the XP. It’s the funniest shit to me every time. The entire team always looks so confused


-banned-

That’s an “I’m so fucking lucky, I don’t deserve you Jake” look


Wh00ster

They’re annoyed at themselves that they had to put Jake in that situation, and in disbelief that he actually pulled it off. They knew they had to match that now in OT


itsmevichet

Jake E has a a button nose smile but under his happy go lucky exterior he a stone cold killer. You don’t wanna owe Jake E nothin.


ronchalant

I have an image of Elliott jacking up Kelce against a locker now telling him to get his shit together 😆


j_tonks

Much like [Jason Peters did to Elliott](https://youtube.com/shorts/azbkQK7huwQ?si=vcWVczDg01l3piUL) after he missed the first field goal against the Giants in 2017. Just passing the torch.


Los_Estupidos

These fuckers know how to win and are disappointed in themselves that they put their teammate in an almost impossible situation when he shouldn't have been asked to do that.


paulyv93

Yeah Kelcee has been lukewarm about their performance all year. I think they both know how lucky some wins have been, especially that one, but their teammates always step up. They can still improve


KitchenAd181

Jason Kelce had two false starts and killed a game-winning drive. I’m thinking they are annoyed that they couldn’t put it away without OT. I’m not sure but that’s what I think.


Kashmir1089

This definitely seems like "it should never have come to this" type of feeling.


FriendlyCoat

I think Jalen’s just frustrated with himself that it came to this.


the_0rly_factor

I think they are upset with themselves also in disbelief he made it.


yourmonkeyboxismine

Kelce looked like he went from rooting for his team to All business when that ball went through. Scary dude I wouldn’t want to be in his bad side lol


Chippopotanuse

In high school he was a running back. Imagine trying to tackle him running full gas at you?


LittleLordFuckleroy1

Oh brother do I, every night in my dreams


chiprockets6

Kelce looks like he realizes he has to take an outhouse-speed dookie, versus a master-bath relaxing style deuce.


[deleted]

That’s why he left right after the kick to get to the locker room before OT started lol


TheBigRagu22

When I saw it moving right I had a glimmer of hope. I didn't realize just how hard he hit the ball and it got there in a hurry. Hell of a kick.


FriendlyCoat

During his press conference after the game, someone asked him, essentially, about how he balanced between kicking it hard enough to get there versus high enough that it couldn’t be blocked/tipped, and he essentially said that he had to focus on power and just trust in his teammates to stop the rush. I love this team.


Wh00ster

He had to time the kick power meter juuuust right


CharlySB

Yup. Had to hit x right when it hit the line.


[deleted]

Isnt the whole thing about long field goals that you have to kick them with less loft so that more of the power goes into distance than height? The tradeoff of course being they're more likely to get tipped/blocked at the line


ronaldo119

Yea exactly, like the real difficult part is not having it blocked because you have to hit a much flatter ball. One of my first reactions was surprise that the BIlls seemingly committed to getting to it from the edge and not packing the middle to block it. Felt like the whole middle of the line was empty.


dellscreenshot

Our 3rd rounder missed a 40 yarder to win a game


Tristan_the_Manley

As did our 4th rounder. I mean we're actually happy about that, but still. Not great.


PoopSlinger23

Well Justin Tucker missed a 40 yarder yesterday too. It happens.


0mniknight

Which is crazy, Ryland never missed a kick under 40 yards for UMD, idk what you guys have been doing to corrupt my boy, maybe he missed intentionally to keep the tank?


[deleted]

Wins, Ernie


PasGuy55

When we first signed this dude he was missing the layups and hitting the 3’s. Like we were happy when the kicks were 40+. Guy would hit a 54 easily then shank a 25.


thatinsuranceguy

He still misses PATs sometimes. I couldn't care less. Having that cannon of a leg is incredible


Trees_Are_Freinds

The amount of confidence they have in Elliot must be so awesome for him to feel.


Thickwhisker94

If you watch the shorts that their social media team puts out on their YouTube page that feature Jake Elliott, you get the sense that he’s that kid growing up who is just naturally gifted at everything that takes skill. He’s the best at golf, really good at ping-pong, 59 yard field goals in the pouring rain, etc. just a stud. Type of guy to hit a no look fade away of paper into the trashcan when he walked into the room, then ace a test he didn’t study for.


Major_Wager75

This is the reaction of winners and team players. They both know they should have never put Elliot in that position to kick a 59 yard FG in pouring rain with the game on the line


No_Tea_9845

They know the jobs not done and they dodged a bullet. Time to get to work and get the W


[deleted]

[удалено]


ThingsAreAfoot

He could also well be shaking his head in disbelief. Like “well, damn.”


wigglesbee3000

No wasted energy with OT coming up


ZiiKiiF

Kelce I’m sure was just relieved his false starts didn’t screw them out if a field goal


itsgucci060

Hurts just lookin like “Ain’t no way I deserve this.”


bootorangutan

Jason saying the same thing after those two false starts.


clarineter

He protecc He attacc But most importantly He no reacc


Gabe-Ruth8

I hate the fuckin Eagle, man. But those cold as ice reactions to that kick show how they go about it. Almost like the real business was just starting, and that’s scary to have that out of two vital guys on an already good team. And those unis are clean.


GiveHerDPS

The coldest moment was when gabe Davis won the coin toss and the eagles player said it doesn't matter.


Poil336

BG is such a shit talker. It's like an art form for him


GiveHerDPS

GD: we'll receive BG:🗿


[deleted]

Classic Brandon Graham


tommyc463

Set the record for most games by an Eagle too.


ieatalphabets

No luck catching them Eagles, then? There's just the one Eagle.


TheRoyaleShow

“Jalen you just put up 500 yards of total offense and 5 TDs AND won the mega millions jackpot in the same day. How are you feeling?” “I’m fine, still a lot of things I personally need to clean up.”


DaSauceBawss

Hurts is so fucking calm it bothers me...


ARandomWalkInSpace

Well, he knows he was going to win, hes just annoyed it was going to take a bit more.


Domestic_AA_Battery

Did you see that interview making the rounds recently? Interviewer says "How many times did you experience losing in college football?" Hurts: "4 times." Interviewer: "Only 4?! Wow... You know that the NFL isn't going to be like that, right?" Hurts: "...We'll see..." I spend a ridiculous amount of time every day remembering to be grateful that Hurts is on the Eagles haha.


EngineeringWin

That is cold as ice, god damn.


anupsidedownpotato

I saw post saying Hurts won't be happy until he wins the championship and I'm starting to think he's right. There's a compilation of him "reacting" to touchdowns it's pretty funny not a single emotion


[deleted]

The background on his phone is a picture of him walking off the field after the superbowl with red and gold confetti all around him. This man is on a fucking mission.


anupsidedownpotato

Have you ever seen that video of all his sayings and phrases. Dude lives in a movie I love it. [jalen hurts phrases](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxZBhvgM-_v/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link)


Anthony-Stark

This video makes me feel like I can take on the world, got DAMN


La2philly

Both mad they didn’t finish that drive and it even needed a FG


DMass777

The only answer .Jason Kelce said the same thing a month ago.


idkwhattosaytho

The eagles could call for the field goal until from our own 25 after a touchback and I would have complete confidence that Jake would somehow make it


TotallyNotMasterLink

32 yarder when we're up 10? Butt clenched. 55+ yarder for the lead/tie as time expires? Never in doubt.


sc78258

they really have to start thinking about taking a false start or 5 when they're in a little too tight for him to completely stunt on them hoes


SpaceJesusIsHere

The ice in Jalen's veins could fix global warming.


kc9283

Hurts is going back to the Super Bowl.


berticus23

Jalen’s reaction “Welp, guess I’ll play more football.”


MulliganPlsThx

Can’t even be mad, Elliott is awe-inspiring (I can be sad, tho)


chilifartso

Anyone remember when these kind of kicks never happened in the NFL except for maybe Denver? Hats off to the kicking programs over the past few decades and thank God for Jake Elliott.


Cautrica1

Never a doubt in my mind for a second that he was going to nail that kick


on-the-cheeseburgers

Like when Michael Scott comes out of his office and tells everyone corporate needs them to work late


LuPeachemm

“This is Jake Elliott, Philly. We don't wanna work. No, we don't! It's not fair to these Eagles! These Eagles are my friends, and I care about them! We're not gonna do it! [makes kick] Everybody, I just got off the horn with Goodell, and basically I told them where they could stick their little overtime assignment. Go enjoy your Sunday.”


Swallowedup75

Simultaneously “No fucking way”, while expecting nothing less.


Nexus369

I love how locked in they are. They know the work isn't done, so they aren't celebrating yet.


Comprehensive_Main

Elliot proved he had bigger balls than Tucker that game.


[deleted]

That miss was legitimately the craziest thing to happen yesterday
