Game Thread: NFC Wild Card-Philadelphia Eagles vs. Chicago Bears

[Podunkparte]

Waving arms and whistles don't stop players from running up and jumping on a loose ball anyway. That's a bad excuse

 

[Fred_Delosantos]

Ref stands over the ball whistling an incompletion, you can't expect the players to see he was wrong and jump on the ball. Sure as fuck can't give the ball to Chicago.

if somebody did jump on the ball, they'd probably throw a flag: Unsportmanlike Behavior.

Makes sense in a messed up way. They blew it dead and official picked up ball so you can't really blame the players for not picking up the ball

Really Philly? You're icing the kicker at the end of half on like a 25 yard field goal? The fuck is this game on?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Hopefully the AFC title and NFC title games make up for this weekend.

 

[Center Ice]

Love how the ref didn't call it an incomplete pass. He left out the reason and just blew the whistle. What a tard!

Hey the way this game has gone it's not that hard to believe a kicker could miss an easy FG like that

Players go after dead balls all the time

This game isn’t too bad. It’s a nice defensive battle.

Still salty.

Rarely in a situation like this (the ball far away, the refs whistling the play dead and waiving incomplete).

 

[cwalke3408]

Wait. Nevermind. Refs are good again.

Nope just some guys on the field

Always ice the kicker in situations like that. Seen too many chip shot fuck ups. It ain't a golf game with your buddies where 2 foot putts are gimmies!

 

[Dude]

In real time, maybe looked incomplete, but upon review?? Jeez man, what gives?

Give me the non all star nfl crews

Once the whistle blows and the ref signals incompletion, the play is over.

Otherwise every play would be chaos.

 

[cwalke3408]

Trubisky lucked out of three of four INT's, of which at least one would have been a pick-six.

That's Trubisky for you

Good, tight game in the first half. Hope to see some long TD throws (by Foles) in the second half.
