Eagles vs Bears Game Thread

[TwoCentPlain]

Chicago has some good players on offense, Eagles playing good defense

How many drinks have you had?

That may be true but otherwise it would have been a turnover so they got a real gift.

Not really
Last team to have the ball was bears
It should go back to the spot of the fumble

 

[Sevenup3000]

But this forum told me that ANY QB could throw against this Eagle's secondary. What gives?

 

[Floatyworm]

Al Michaels. "they're not making this stuff on the fly"

Jesus...How can a guy actually say that with a straight face w/ so much on the line?

Wild stat.

So far we are the highest scoring team in the playoffs this weekend despite playing a very good defense.

And we are the only team to score a TD in both halves....lol.

 

[conner01]

He wasn’t going for the ball.

I am rewatching the play right now.

Doesn’t matter if he was going in the direction of the ball if he didn’t recover it lol

 

[Aven8]

Did you actually think they were any good?

Just haven’t really watched them closely. Not that impressed with anything.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I don’t care which fan base is in the stands, Aaron Donald or Suh have the potential to wreck the game against the likes of Williams and Looney. It’s a terrible matchup for us.

Certainly true about Donald, Suh not so much. In fact, heard some beat writers are questioning why he's still starting. Other words, they are saying it's clear, his best days are behind him.

You dont think Cohen is good?

 

[Risen Star]

How many picks did Chicago give up to move up to draft Mitch?

To go from 3 to 2 they gave up their 3rd and 4th that year and their 3rd this past year.

So two 3s and a 4 to move up one spot for him.

 

[conner01]

How can it be a turnover when the Eagles never recovered it?

It would have to be ruled a catch by the bears and since no one recovered it the ball stays with the team possessing the ball.
Anything else and it’s another stupid rule.

Seems like a no brainer
It’s a catch and the last team to have control of the ball was bears
Should be bears ball at spot of fumble

Eagles look like a legit contender. Secondary us playing much better.

 

[MCMetal69]

I don't know where exactly the league finds and gets these guys , but it's beyond time they start looking towards other groups for officials...............

I can find better candidates at a bowling alley..............................

 

[Floatyworm]

After all these years, no one can rule clearly on a catch. Lol

After this...I don't think you will ever know what a catch is.

Things I will never know....

1. Who shot JFK?

2. Did a UFO really crash in Roswell, New Mexico?

3. What is an NFL catch?

4. How did Risen get over 70,000 likes?

5. How does Garrett/Linehan keep their jobs?

All great mysteries that will never be solved.

That is completely ridiculous in my opinion. The play was interfered with by the official and thus could not be completed. The down should simply be replayed in this situation (which it was not). That sucks but it is better then the alternatives which is to rule an incomplete pass (which was done) or to rule it a catch/fumble but not allow for a fumble recovery.

Curious how 3 points makes them legit?

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Foles magic will be tested if the Bears get a TD on this drive.

 

[Ranched]

Bears are going to put the Egals away very shortly.

 

[Floatyworm]

What ever happened to the rule of no blocking below the knee outside of the hashes? See it all the time now....

The ball layed on the ground and no one attempted to recover it
