That’s one of the most blatant screw jobs I’ve ever seen in my 25 years watching sports

Is that a good thing though? Theres a good chance the #1 seed would meet dallas in divisional round.

The way DAL played today I’m not sure I’d pick them going into Tampa

I wouldn't be surprised either way. But the buccaneers  are only 1 game above .500 for a reason.

I'm sorry but the Lions got screwed on the 2PT but should of just kicked the EP after the parsons offsides.   But I'm seeing clip, clip with the guy reporting.

All they need to do to win the division is win those games.

And if they don't,  they're so amazingly screwed.

The difference between wild card and division is bigger than the difference between 2 and 3.  

If the Eagles don't win both,  and the Cowboys win next week,  the Eagles are at 5,  and have to play (probably) the Niners their 2nd game, and then (probably) the Cowboys if they get by the Niners.  

I was perfectly happy with 1st week Seahawks or Rams,  2nd week Lions home or away, 3rd week 9ers or Cowboys.

I really don't care at all about v Lions home or away.  I don't think home provides some great advantage, when the home fans are chanting "run the ball".   And I'm not going to be there,  which is the true rationale of some here.

I wanted the division title clinched as quickly as possible,  I didn't want the Eagles to have to scratch and claw for wins when they should be resting players right now and giving other players more snaps, targets, carries.

 

 

 

We think she's also an Eagles fan?

He wouldn't have had to worry about it if he would of kicked the field goal earlier in the game so F him 

This is going to end up being a major f up by the refs - or so it seems.  

The NFL is going to have to make this stuff reviewable sooner or later.

If you think we can beat Detroit anywhere then you shouldn't be fearing the Eagles beating the Cardinals and Giants to get the #2 seed.  

I don’t fear either.

one can only hope but the fact of the matter is there is ZERO accountability for NFL refs and it is blatantly obvious

We can't clinch tomorrow. And now the Giants are going to get all up to play spoiler in their home. 

The stadium will be 50% Eagles fans.

If he reports doesn’t he count as a receiver lined up? 

I just watched the play again. Reynolds was off the LOS so Decker wasn't uncovered like I thought. It wouldn't have been illegal formation after all.

I think they have some sort of internal accountability - the better the refs, better games; eligibility for playoff games etc   But after tonight and after some of the games this past season, good chance teams will be petitioning for more accountability.

Just let teams not have to declare O linemen eligible. Let teams run trick plays. They don't have to declare they're running wildcat direct snap, tossing to a RB who will throw a pass or other tricks. 

Well the Eagles road to the SB just got much easier.  They may not take that road, but it’s there nonetheless.

2 crap teams and then a NFCCG in SF where there isn’t much HFA.  That’s easier than a bye, Dallas, and SF.

I wouldn’t bet on the Eagles beating the last seed at home, but they still are going to end up with a nice path.

Even Aikman is calling this out.

So even if there were other penalties he reported and that was called. Not a good look. League is rigged.

Yup... that was an F up from the start. Illegal Formation.

What did matter was Freaking Barnes taking a dive. Wonder how much he got paid for that.

I watched it again. Reynolds was off the LOS. If he had reported, it would've been legit.

Yeah I didn’t think it was.  You know they practiced every detail of that play dozens of times. 

Yeah... looks like there were 7 men on the LOS. I didn't see the far right WR at first. Yup Detroit got screwed
