Game Thread: PLayoff action: Atlanta @ Philadelphia 4:35pm ET on NBC

[Montalban]

More of the lack of awareness on the field I've been talking about by the Eagles. How can you let yourself get hit by a punt.

Atlanta needs a TD here.

 

[Wazmankg]

Ball should have then been put back to about the 2.

No, they got it right. It was Foles' fumble so he can advance it.

"On a play from scrimmage, if an offensive player fumbles anywhere on the field during fourth down, only the fumbling player is permitted to recover and/or advance the ball. If any player fumbles after the two-minute warning in a half, only the fumbling player is permitted to recover and/or advance the ball. If recovered by any other offensive player, the ball is dead at the spot of the fumble unless it is recovered behind the spot of the fumble. In that case, the ball is dead at the spot of recovery."

That's garbage

 

[Golden Spur]

That's incidental. He was trying to pull his head up and put the shoulder in. That's so lame on a bang-bang play.

 

[Cedrique]

Wow, why don't they just make the receivers wear a dress?

 

[Ricky Roma]

I guess I missed it....what was the penalty for?

 

[DJ]

Ha ha ha.

Imploding.

ripped his skirt......

The NFL has gotten ridiculous with these penalties man. That is fucking retarded. How is that a personal foul? Are they not allowed to hit a guy? He didn't lead with his helmet, nothing.

DB made a big hit on a potential TD in the EZ, got a PF for head-to-head on defenseless player

But Foles didn't advance it. It was a runner.

 

[Wazmankg]

Ryan got lucky there.

 

[DJ]

Geez.

Do I dare say the refs are trying to help the Falcons today?

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

Eagles dominating but beating themselves

 

[DJ]

Iggles gonna Iggle.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Why did Ryan wait 3 years to throw that?
