Cognac McCarthy posted:If I were a defender trying to get the ball back for my team on a 4th down play, I would simply not take three steps and level a quarterback who had given himself up in the head with my whole body weight He was clearly trying to halt his momentum and pull up after chasing a scrambling quarterback at full speed. It's really hard to see what else he could have reasonably done with one second's notice. Absolute garbage call.

Seriously that fumble after catching a bomb though, that was some rough stuff for the Eagles.

This is no different except Graham took a lot more steps than just one extra.

A scrambling QB giving himself up is a not-uncommon football play and players are expected to be able to react quickly to avoid hitting a protected player I know it sucks considering the circumstances and a guy taking a knee in the backfield is unusual compared to someone sliding or diving, but "he was chasing a guy at full speed!" is not an excuse for a late hit lol

Complaining about the refs is for inveterate homers like me lol Seriously, tho, that particular call - garbage or not - is like 10th down the list of reasons they lost tonight. Like, by the time Slye hit his career-long FG, it was pretty clear that this was just gonna be the night everything went wrong, and it did. And for a game like that to still be as close as it was isn't bad.

Something or other went wrong and then he just never showed up again in the game other than being targeted on some routes where he wasn't really open.

The refs gently caress up all the time. Extra flags, missed flags, whatever. Pretty cut and dry that the Eagles defender just hosed up and earned a flag.

No Butt Stuff posted:The refs gently caress up all the time. Extra flags, missed flags, whatever. They lost that game in a lot of other ways. And Washington, to their credit, ate them alive through the whole first half 3 yards at a time with the occasional McLaurin siting. It wasn't pretty, but it was sure effective last night. e: Not even just running. Their two minute drill at the end of the first half was something like 3 yard out, tackled in bounds, final time out taken. 3 yard out, tackled in bounds. Manufacture a first down and spike it. Then McLaurin for 25 out of nowhere and you're in field goal range. It was so ugly to watch other than my beautiful boy Terry. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Nov 15, 2022 |

I asked a variation of this in the NFC North thread, but can Kirk Cousins really lead the Vikings to a Super Bowl? Do people outside of Minnesota think this team is for real at all? I am aware that Trent Dilfer happened, so sure he could. But does anyone outside of Minnesota really think Cousins will? I’m probably wrong, because I usually am, but I feel like this Vikings team is going to eat poo poo in the playoffs when the luck runs out.

If Jimmy G can make it to a Super Bowl. So can Kirk. But lol if you think he wins.No Butt Stuff posted:The refs gently caress up all the time. Extra flags, missed flags, whatever. Oh how naïve my little No Butt Stuff. You see whenever a "questionable" flag is thrown, it's actually part of a wide ranging conspiracy against that particular team because *REASONS*

If (when the game is close and pressure is on) his only passing option is a deep drop and then a 20 yard laser somewhere in the area of JJ. Watching him slow down and try and think his way through different routes during late game drives looks terrible.

No, the universe is against them. It's going to be Tom Brady against the Bills and we're all going to be very sad for Josh Allen as his arm finally gives out and falls off during the game.
