Eagles run D trashed

This comment will incite butt hurt from a few resident Birds fans.

What happened to Watson for Browns?

He’s hurt. Was inactive today pretty sure.

 

[Cowboys1966]

eagles holding is not being called all game

Just stop.

 

[jazzcat22]

how do you not tackle Hurts there.

 

[Sarek]

Hurts made those defenders look silly

 

[Mr_437]

Hurts will step up in the clutch and get the W for Philly.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

hurts runs , runs

 

[Cowboys1966]

Yeah. Make it a two team race. we handle Philly twice and their schedule gets tougher

I think you’re being a little bit silly here. The one NFC east team possibly better than us? Always root for them to lose.

 

[Sarek]

That was the skins chance, gotta clip that!

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Don't trust the Commanders defense to do anything.

 

[Cowboys1966]

And I said hurts looked slower this year lol

 

[Creeper]

The Lane Johnson deal has been gone over a million times and it's not a false start. Go research it. The refs have been equally bad. In the first half they called ticky tack penalties on Philly on 3rd and long all 3 times.

Yes, I saw the thread of people defending him claiming you can lift your back leg before the snap but that is not true. The rule is very clear, once the lineman set he cannot move in any way the simulates a snap of the ball.

This is a false start: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nf...ons-false-start-was-a-false-start/ar-AA1hixok

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Hurts is the most overrated qb

 

[Sarek]

That was funny!

 

[jazzcat22]

Washington defense holds. Now go get a TD. Take a lot of time.

 

[pancakeman]

Two more TDs with plenty of time left. It is do-able. It would be an NFL first as no team has given up 60 after a game they put up 70.

Heck, it might be a record right now. I doubt that the previous three teams to score 70+ gave up 40+ the next game.

1966 Commanders gave up 31 to our Cowboys the next week (but won anyway).
1950 Rams gave up 24 to the Lions the next week, also won, in fact scored 65 in that one! That game tied for fourth-most ever in a game.

Weak fair catch signal, but did he get his arm high enough. Not sure what the rule is there. Ref judgement call?

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Dolphins had a chance to really put their stamp on the AFC with how Joe Burrow is struggling. Even though it's still early and they have a chance to do that later in the season.

 

[Creeper]

Washi9ngton just got called for illegal fair catch because the receiver lifted his arm in the air. That is a penalty, but the Eagles guy did exactly the same thing in the first half and no call. The Eagles guy did not raise his arm as high, but you cannot simulate a fair catch signal.

Oh yea he called fair catch then tried to run with it. That was funny.
