Eagles/Seahawks thread

[HungryLion]

You could be right. It appeared that way to me. The ball was recieved at a point which looks forward from where he released it which is a normal projection. Now whether that’s legal within the rules I couldn't say . My hunch is they wouldn’t have over ruled the call on the field .

You would be wrong.

It’s where the ball is released, relative to where is is caught that matters. That’s all.

U have to remember that the ball is moving forward at same speed that Wilson is running. So when he throws it sideways. The momentum carries it forward. Thus making it a forward pass.

Eagles aren't on the Patriots level

No team is on the Patriots level. Belichick will school any rookie/second year quarterback in the Super Bowl.

It's a damn shame one more win gets them the division.

It is. I think the Cowboys at full strength (obviously a must with a stooge like Garrett at the helm) can certainly compete with them.

The football certainty is it was an illegal forward pass that is all that matters in this discussion of a football play in a football game.

Could be . I’m not certain how the officials would have ruled if challenged.

I see Eagles fans all over Facebook blaming the refs!! Haha Funny how our fan base isn't allowed to do that but it's apparently acceptable for them.

The Eaglea are extremely beatable. Schedule has been butter soft but they saw tonight what it's like to play from behind. I'd be shocked if they won it all.

They can't. Their trophy case has withered away. Where would they put it?

Whoever gets home-field advantage. The Vikings and Saints look pretty strong too.

You might be right . I can’t be certain how the NFL would have ruled on it.

Acceptable to who?

 

[Melonfeud]

in the playoffs the Seachickens O line will be their demise

They had outside edge pressure on Wilson pretty much the whole game.

I think everyone is allowed to do but it’s more about if it’s valid or just sour grapes.

 

[Qbert]

It’s fake, still funny lol

Not able to like posts yet but I 100% agree.

Welcome to the forum, mate.

listening to the eagles post game, they are making every excuse you can think of as to why the Eagles lost, bad refs, bad coachin, wentz being hit early on, not being prepared, its hilarious

Yes it would be like sending jar jar binks to face the emperor alone

Maybe they should try Seattle disguised their coverage very well. They would show single high and drop into cover three. They would set their LBs back in passing situations and dare Wentz to throw short. Wentz did the best he could with the situations he had.

 

[Melonfeud]

The long throw being tackled was a nice throw, but he had already wound up and started forward before contact as he was heaving it to a wide open receiver in busted coverage. I’m not sure why all the love for the TD throw.....he was out of the pocket with no one near him and hit a wide open receiver. First play special strength. TD any QB could throw.

Pretty sure it had to do with how Wentz seemingly evaded that 'jail break' pass rush that looked to have ' little big horn' written all over it and squirt out&up to the right of that envelopment unscathed,,, ya,that's where the praise/admiration comes from on that one

 

[Melonfeud]

Pretty sure that defies the laws of physics.

EVERY fanbase blames the refs.
