Game Thread: WEEK 2 Sunday Thread

[Duffman]

The officials this game should be as embarassed as the Eagles offense.

Gave a TD to Dallas. Gave a TO to Dallas... not that the Eagles deserved to win. But damn...

They did neither of those things, that hit on the punter was perfectly legal if that's what your complaining about.

 

[Duffman]

Bradford with another turnover, this is great.

 

[podsox]

vine of the yr?

 

[gobigred]

I'm sure the Eagles fans are still happy about how great they looked in the preseason and talking about Eagles will be 14-2

Ahum,

make that Ertz with the turnover, not Bradford. Hit Ertz straight in the hands.

Helmet to helmet is NOT legal - as you ought to know (and as pointed out by Mike Pereira); that was a blatant helmet to helmet hit on the punter on that block - as illegal as could be. And apparently they should have called a false start as well (which would have negated the snap/fumble).

Still on Bradford for still throwing that ball too high and when there where what 3 Eagles defenders in the area. Throw it low so if he misses it it wont hurt anything.

That end zone pick was clearly Bradford, that could of been a game changer

The Dolphins suck.

First it was clearly a shoulder hit. And if you want to talk about listening to Mike Pereira he just explained that the call was an illegal shift and not an automatic shutdown of the play meaning the fumble should have and still counted.

Maxwell burned again.


TD Cowboys

 

[bksballer89]

Dude Maxwell is trash

 

[Battlelyon]

Man that Philly stadium emptied pretty quick.

 

[Anointed One]

Maxwell has to be one of the most overpaid players in this league... Wow... He's been dreadful again... He was a product of the Hawks system and now he's being exposed for what he is... Can't fault him for taking the paycheck though...

 

[Duffman]

"We don't need Brandon Boykin because he have Byron Mawell now" is something Chip Kelly probably said when they traded him given that he makes the personnel decisions now.

 

[Anointed One]

Sam I am... Could you please throw a few to Jordy Matthews before the game is over?

First it was clearly a shoulder hit. And if you want to talk about listening to Mike Pereira he just explained that the call was an illegal shift and not an automatic shutdown of the play meaning the fumble should have and still counted.

1) It was a clear helmet to helmet - those making contact first, before the shoulders; as pointed out by Aikman and Pereira.

2) And as Pereira said, because it was a guard shifting from stance, it should have been called a false start - and therefore dead play.


That said, the Eagles have been bad and do not deserve to win the game. And the refs have been as bad as the Eagles offense.

 

[Anointed One]

Woohoo... I got one point...

 

[Jakology]

Wow.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

Ravens going to 0-2. LOL.
