Luck is a good guy

 

[BigAT]

What's the problem? If human error can be removed from officiating that's a positive.

But human element. Human element!

 

[captive]

I think they should just get rid of the refs and have people live tweet each game and if enough people tweet for a flag, they call a penalty.


Seriously, they aren't going to make everything reviewable.

 

[Tom Penny]

Every call needs to be reviewable tbh, there is no excuse why any call cannot be reviewed. They have like a million cameras at the game, tablets, booths, etc.

Belichick already thought of this and GAF laughed at the notion and so didn't the NFL.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

There have been a ton of comebacks already. Are there usually this many?

I can't remember there being so many.

 

[RellyRell28]

Where are the "Revolution" haters now? That's what I thought.... R E F S REFS!!!!!

Yup

 

[CrankyJay]

Foles isn't the answer but why did they move on from Vick then as at least a backup?

A distraction they don't need. Foles is a good stop gap until then. The guy just led two 2nd half comebacks in a row.

 

[JABEE]

Where are you, Yankee! Celebrate!

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Where are the "Revolution" haters now? That's what I thought.... E A G L E S EAGLES!!!!!

I'm sure this year's first-round exit will be much better on your hearts

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Foles isn't the answer but why did they move on from Vick then as at least a backup?

Vick doesn't have much left. He's a back up to Geno. It was time.

 

[cajunator]

I enjoy football

Me too! Except it doesnt require my team to be winning like you hehee.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Luck is a good guy

Yeah he is, you can tell from his confs and interviews.

 

[Trey]

What's the problem? If human error can be removed from officiating that's a positive.

Sure. Just saying. The rules should be rewritten as well.

Why is holding ten yards but a false start five? Holding happens all the time but is called with discretion.

 

[eznark]

I think they should just get rid of the refs and have people live tweet each game and if enough people tweet for a flag, they call a penalty.


Seriously, they aren't going to make everything reviewable.

There is no excuse for an incorrect horse collar or facemask call, there are no gray areas. They are clearly defined, binary penalties.

 

[Zantetsuken]

I can't remember there being so many.

I believe we have these to thank.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Belichick already thought of this and GAF laughed at the notion and so didn't the NFL.

Well then holding is going to be called on every play. I think the control center in NY should review it, and the refs in game just go on as usual. If the control center see something outrageous then they up the refs and tell those guys to call timeout and etc..

 

[Spinluck]

The refs fucked us over but there's no use in complaining about it. Everyone knows that the officiating in this league is garbage. I'm more disappointed in this piss poor defense being incapable of reading a screen, it's possible, but you wouldn't think so watching this shit team lol.

Go win the division Houston! See you in the divisional round!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Russell going to be a Hawk forever. Maybe he can go after Kaep.

I don't mean he'll ever get either of those guys, just that kind of player, that skill set. It would be interesting to see what will happen in this draft if a guy like Marriota or Brett Hundley falls down close to where the Eagles are drafting.

 

[JABEE]

There is no excuse for an incorrect horse collar or facemask call, there are no gray areas. They are clearly defined, binary penalties.

Eagles had the same call made against them last week with Fletcher Cox. Bad call. Inexcusable. I'm just happy the Eagles got the W.

 

[effzee]

I get the feeling Foles is not the guy Chip ultimately wants as his long term QB. I think he'd cream his pants for a guy more like Kaepernick or Russell.

Yeah but Chip is in a win win situation.

Inherited Vick and Foles. Vick couldn't stay healthy and Foles was a revelation. But Foles is still on his rookie deal and being paid nothing. If he doesn't improve and they continue to win in spite of him, Chip can let him walk or try to trade him and draft Mariota.

Vick did add the dimension on offense that is severely lacking with Foles. Arm strength and ability to run on read plays. Too bad couldn't stay healthy.

Foles isn't the answer but why did they move on from Vick then as at least a backup?

Too expensive to keep as a back up. And Vick can say whatever but he knew he went to the Jets knowing there was, still is, a chance he gets to start this season.

 

[illmatic22]

Thanks New Orleans for letting Sproles and Jenkins go.

 

[Tom Penny]

Well then holding is going to be called on every play. I think the control center in NY should review it, and the refs in game just go on as usual. If the control center see something outrageous then they up the refs and tell those guys to call timeout and etc..

All he wanted to do is be able to throw flags on any play and question the call whether it's holding, PI, offsides was accurate etc..

 

[Velcro Fly]

Houston beat awful Washington and clueless Oakland. They might scratch out 7 or 8 wins but the Colts should beat them both times.

 

[Bread]

I don't mean he'll ever get either of those guys, just that kind of player, that skill set. It would be interesting to see what will happen in this draft if a guy like Marriota or Brett Hundley falls down close to where the Eagles are drafting.

If the Eagles have a system that needs a specific type of player, like Mariota, they should give up whatever it takes to get that guy on the team.

Winning is all that matters

 

[chris121580]

Such a painful loss. I'm so frustrated with the 2 missed calls but even more frustrated we didn't have Bradshaw in on that last series. 2 running plays to Richardson is just dumb.

I also think we could've played it safer when we were in field goal range on the second to last drive. No reason to force a pass. Throw the ball away, take the field goal, go up 10, and go home with a win. This team has a lot to improve on

 

[gutshot]

That was most definitely a horsecollar tackle on McCoy. The rules state:

Article 15: Horse-Collar Tackle. No player shall grab the inside collar of the back or the side of the shoulder pads or jersey pads or jersey, and pull the runner toward the ground. This does not apply to a runner who is in the tackle box or to a quarterback who is in the pocket.

Note: It is not necessary for a player to pull the runner completely to the ground in order for the act to be illegal. If his knees are buckled by the action, it is a foul, even if the runner is not pulled completely to the ground.

Pulled down by the jersey and his knees buckled. The Eagles got called for the same thing last week. Good call.

 

[Drakeon]

Good games blarry and wienke. Loving the pvp, going to be taking a 2 week break to go on vacation soon though.

 

[Slo]

Thank you Sproles!

 

[Narag]

Houston beat awful Washington and clueless Oakland. They might scratch out 7 or 8 wins but the Colts should beat them both times.

I think it'll be split depending on the health of Houston's D. Home team wins each time.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Dead.

 

[Matrix]

Oh gimme a break. The Colts schedule is the same fucking schedule, except for two games. One could argue the Colts schedule might be just as easy since they get two games against the 2-14 Texans...


Anyway, when was the last time we had a good Monday night game?


Also Foles threw for what 75 yards? The rest were from yards after catch?

I love how people are saying the Texans have the easiest schedule lol It's hilarious considering we were the "WORST" team in the league last year and we are supposed to be easy W's for teams . We have a new coach this year and a average/crappy QB still.

No Texans fans complained how hard our schedule was last season. lol Throwing the Texans have a weak schedule shit around this year is weak.

 

[Coldnoodle]

There is no excuse for an incorrect horse collar or facemask call, there are no gray areas. They are clearly defined, binary penalties.

It baffles me how this stuff isn't thought of immediately.

In hockey there's still no option to correct a referee if he thought the puck went over the glass when it didn't.

There's no gray area there, yet they keep trotting out the same excuses of how it will slow down the game and remove the human element.

 

[MechDX]

Houston beat awful Washington and clueless Oakland. They might scratch out 7 or 8 wins but the Colts should beat them both times.

Was that same excuse the Colts used in 2011? Get out of here with that bullshit! The Colts are what I have said for months: great QB, shitty defense and a Swiss cheese o line yet everyone is riding their jock like they are the second coming

Good job to my Eagles cousins.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Eagles had the same call made against them last week with Fletcher Cox. Bad call. Inexcusable. I'm just happy the Eagles got the W.

Cox got fined $16k too. His hand was nowhere near the collar. I am sure he is appealing, but the National Football League sure stood by the bogus call.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I declare war on the raiders

 

[cajunator]

Thanks New Orleans for letting Sproles and Jenkins go.

Im glad Jenkins is gone. Sproles I miss, like I still miss the crazy potential of Reggie Bush and I would miss P.T. if he left.

Winning is all that matters

Guess football wont be mattering much to you in the near future

 

[gutshot]

I just pray that Kendricks isn't out for any length of time. Casey Matthews is so bad.

 

[RBelong2Us]

Eagles had like over 100 yards in penalties today, lol, people acting like it was one sided

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

I just pray that Kendricks isn't out for any length of time. Casey Matthews is so bad.

Oh my god yes. Kendricks is going to be a hell of a player too.

 

[Drakeon]

Why is Pagano a head coach again? What is it that he did in Baltimore that makes him a head coaching candidate?

I know we have pretty much no talent on the D-line but holy shit, adjust anytime you see Sproles...

Arians is so much better it isn't funny. It's too bad you couldn't have kept him instead of Pagano.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Me too! Except it doesnt require my team to be winning like you hehee.

Cajun so moé.

*pokes*

Yes it will

 

[tiggerkiddo]

So when will they just cut Luck loose and let him be amazing all the time?

 

[RBelong2Us]

Btw foles hate is like the most retarded stuff ever

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

Don't know why NO got rid of Sproles.

so they could pay Jimmy

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Everybody on the press and now ESPN shitting on the Vikings GM yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

They should. He came off like a scumbag. And Zimmer came across like he was just watching what he said so he could deny it later.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Everybody on the press and now ESPN shitting on the Vikings GM yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

This year sucks. All high hopes are gone.
