Blue J Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 One thing I noticed about this game is what I didn't notice much of. The refs, and it was refreshing. That is all...Those two 'disputed' Eagles TDs thankfully were called correctly. If those were taken away the NFL would have heard all off season about cooking the game. It's stupid that the NFL would even consider a slight hand off the ball or 3 steps before loosing the ball as an incomplete pass. It should be simple...two steps with control is a completion. The one that Ertz caught that they looked at for so long I thought was ridiculous- he was clearly a runner when the ball crossed the plane. End of story. The pass that Clement caught toward the back of the end zone was a lot more reviewable, and I was a little bit surprised that it was counted. Not upset, but I can see Pats fans being upset by it. But even without it...the Eagles won by more than seven points, so it wouldn’t have mattered in the end. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was the right call. Edited February 5, 2018 by goose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Two things: Outstanding defensive pressure by the Eagles in the first half and in crunch time, and fantastic effort for yards after contact by the Eagles. The Pats simply didn't or couldn't tackle like the needed to. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pats simply didn't or couldn't tackle like the needed to. I can’t tell you how many times I shouted “WTF?!! Tackle him!” The worst performance by a defense in any game I can remember seeing. The Eagles' defense gave them a run for their money, though. The Patriots never punted. The Eagles did once. The strip sack was the only great play by either defense. The pick of Foles in the first half was a fluke. Not playing Butler was inexcusable. Not having Gilmore cover Jeffery if you're not going to play Butler was idiotic.

Wentz is the starter without a doubt in my mind. But, he suffered the injury awfully late in the season and may not be ready at the early part of next season.

JohnnyBlaze Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 "THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!" Signed, SAXON PATRIOTS SUCK! Their defense wasn’t coming through that’s for sure. But “suck”? Come on, the Eagles were determined to win that game and even then the Pats kept it close to the very last second. Some bonehead at the table next to me kept talking his shit nonstop throughout the game. When that Brady strip/fumble happened, all he had to say was “bla bla bla cheater can’t hold on ha ha bla bla” instead of giving credit to the Eagles for forcing that turnover.

lerxt1990 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Oh Lord, please protect the City of Philadelphia from the outcomes of the Iggles victory. The streets are full of people in 7 or 8 different regions of the city - it is a giant party. Only a few bonfires so far. The property damage will come later. lol. Nothing beats damaging property to celebrate your favorite team’s victory!!! I heard before the game the main concern for Philly's Mayor is if the city would be burned down by angry fans or by happy ones... Pathetic that either were possibilities All hype. Nothing like that occurs. A little rowdyness and bad behavior but overwhelmingly awesome crowd in the streets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't a fumble in the sense of dropping the ball, it took all the force of a big meaty paw punch to get that ball out. NE are BEASTS and it took ALL 60 minutes (literally) to win, and it still came down to defending against a precision thrown Hail Mary!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, didn’t the Raiders play both the Eagles and the Pats this season? How’d they fare against them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only truly douchey thing was a broken store window. Some poles came down, some idiots climbed on a hotel awning which came down, a food fight in a convenience store, and some kid ate horseshit off the street. 99.9% of the huge throngs of people were just having fun. The cops were high fiving the crowd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All joking aside this was like a Rocky movie. The real way to win is to limit the Pats to less than 20 pts. Instead a fing offensive slugfest ensues (DONT GO TOE TO TOE WITH HIM ROCK!) and we came out just ahead. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
