Eagles/Seahawks thread

[haleyrules]

Wentz certainly don't like the heat. Bad throw. You can only ride luck so far.

 

[bayeslife]

This game pretty much proves that Wentz doesn’t have the mental makeup to lead a comeback. Dak has done so multiple times.

This is going to be a bad Eagles loss for us.

 

[Ken]

All you have to do is keep him in the pocket lol

Didn't the Seahags lose to the Commanders at home a couple of weeks ago?

 

[Rogerthat12]

Risen wept as Wentz choked!

 

[benson]

Incase inability wants to see what a real team looks like going into Seattle



2014's game, amazing 3rd & 6 and 3 & 20 conversions to win that game.

 

[haleyrules]

Go Eagles

How far the ball travels forward isn't the issue if you're looking at whether it was "passed backward". The trick there is to look at the position of his hands

If the ball goes forward, it's a forward pass. It really is that simple.

It was an obvious penalty missed by the refs and the Eagles.

Oh well.

 

[Qbert]

How much you wanna bet wentz doesn’t get near the blame tomorrow dak does when the offense sucks?

 

[Philmonroe]

It doesn't matter how he pitched it, it matters where it's caught

If y'all say so. I wouldn't challenged it either but I'm sure all the pereira (sp) jr know better lol

Passing is relative to the player, so forward momentum of the player has to be taken into account. You can pass the ball backward but if you were already moving forward at 5km/hr, that forward momentum is added to the ball. If you pass the ball backward at half that speed the ball will still move forward.

If the ball has to travel backward that is relative to the ground it means the ball has to physically go backward.

If you watch rugby union you'll see a number of passes that float forward but are ruled backward. It depends on how the rule is stated but I think it's just "passes backward"? Not too sure.


Wilson has noticeably more zip on his intermediate passes for sure

he pitched it at the 47, dude caught it at the 48, that's forward in football

We're gonna kick Seahawk and Eagle bootie the last 2 games of the season!!

 

[bayeslife]

10 points scored for the golden boy. But when Dak does it people freak out

 

[Staubacher]

Because the reciever was running forward .

Lol the receiver has nothing to do with it. The ball went forward a full yard it was a forward pitch wow some people here trying to be physicists lol

 

[Carson]

Not so easy when guys arent wide open, eh Carson

Didn't the Seahags lose to the Commanders at home a couple of weeks ago?

Cousins tore them up (IIRC).

 

[ThatJerryKid]

Eagles will lose again next week at the Rams and everybody in the nation who has been all over them will finally see they are not in the same league as the big boys. And yes, we are one of the big boys with Zeke, Lee and our new secondary...

 

[TWOK11]

Interesting point.

A lateral is a bit different than a pass. I’d be curious to see what the NFL says about this play later this week.

It's just simple physics, the ball will continue forward at the same speed Wilson was running when he pitched it. It doesn't matter if he pitched it backwards, the ball was caught ahead of the pitch point. It's an illegal forward pass.

 

[TheRomoSexual]

Gotta say, I'm unimpressed with Risen's boyfriend. I think he could do better.

 

[River82]

If the ball goes forward, it's a forward pass..

Oh. Well if that's the case it simplifies matters quite a bit xD. My mistake
