Did anyone else notice the ball kicked in the Philly game?

[wxcpo]

The look of the ball used for the last second Philly FG as compared to the one used in the Dallas FG attempt last night? The ball Philly used was totally dull and looked worn while the one Dallas used had a very glossy (slick) look. Would be great if someone had a still shot of the close ups of both FG attempts.

Not saying there was any underhandedness in the Dallas game, just wondering if anyone else noticed the difference in the appearance of the two game balls.

It was pouring rain and 38 yards out.

Would like to see the image out of curiosity now though.

The ball is definitely not shiny like the ones used last night. I just watched it again on TIVO.

Hmmm, Super Bowl XL anyone?

The gloss looked like the result of a silicon product.

Y'all do know that every team has "kicker" balls that come right out of the box and are rarely if ever touched, or "rubbed up" prior to use, right?

Try reading actual articles written by real reporters for your news once in awhile, rather than depending on forum board conspiracy theorists to find your blame with.

I am going to capture the game tomorrow. I will record the eagles kick if I get a chance, so we can compare.

I agree 1000% percent. I'm not much for conspiracy theories, but I will say that ball looked completely different than the one given to the Boys.

 

[EagleHarry]

you guys are acting like a bunch of morons. no way the cowboys are actually responsible for the cowboys losing? that would be unthinkable.

It's amazing how little ppl pay attention to the facts.

Ummm, shouldn't you be helping your sister wax her back or something?

oh yea, thanks for reminding me.

The only thing I noticed is that they had zero problem getting it snapped, held, put down and kicked through the uprights.

And to think we actually lost two games at the end due to the inability to do this correctly

o0o0o namecalling. You may want to read the rules around here if you want to last

 

[ReturnToGlory]

On the last seattle punt, on the low snap, what would have happened if the same ball was used???

aaah haaaa!!!

i figured the league(and officials) owed one to the hawks.

no name calling here, but it is moronic to keep festering on this silly notion there was some intentionally greased ball in play. romo dropped the ball, literally, which happed to cost the cowboys the football game. period.

Snapping is differen't though, its placed on the ground two hands are put on the tip and its swung back...

placing and holding you have to catch it, plant it and then spin it to where the laces are towards the goal (or which ever the kicker likes)

Maybe because the one in Philly was used in the mud instead of on plastic?
