NFC Championship: Eagles - 25 vs Cardinals - 32 Game Thread

Fitz 6 for 113yds and 3 tds......1st half alone.

Sorry, the camera angle of the replay does not show that the ball hit his forearm clearly.......

Look, I'm over it, but it most certainly does. The ball's rotation CHANGES direction after hitting his left forearm. It's simple physics. I'm not making anything up here.

But if the first person it touches is a player who is out of bounds, then it is a kickoff out of bounds. Trust me on this one

I don't see it anywhere.
Kickoff


1. The kickoff shall be from the kicking team’s 30-yard line at the start of each half and after a field goal and try. A kickoff is one type of free kick.

2. A one-inch tee may be used (no tee permitted for field goal, safety kick, or try attempt) on a kickoff. The ball is put in play by a placekick.

3. A kickoff may not score a field goal.

4. A kickoff is illegal unless it travels 10 yards OR is touched by the receiving team. Once the ball is touched by the receiving team or has gone 10 yards, it is a free ball. Receivers may recover and advance. Kicking team may recover but NOT advance UNLESS receiver had possession and lost the ball.

5. When a kickoff goes out of bounds between the goal lines without being touched by the receiving team, the ball belongs to the receivers 30 yards from the spot of the kick or at the out-of-bounds spot unless the ball went out-of-bounds the first time an onside kick was attempted. In this case, the kicking team is penalized five yards and the ball must be kicked again.

6. When a kickoff goes out of bounds between the goal lines and is touched last by receiving team, it is receiver’s ball at out-of-bounds spot.
7. If the kicking team either illegally kicks off out of bounds or is guilty of a short free kick on two or more consecutive onside kicks, receivers may take possession of the ball at the dead ball spot, out-of-bounds spot, or spot of illegal touch.

Crossing routes hmmm... Something T.O. can run. I wonder why we don't run them.

yeah must be nice to have a competent OC.

 

[The Panch]

C'mon Kurt. *smh*

Fitz is just too much man.

He is seriously coming into his own.

He's been doing it all year.

 

[Rogah]

Nothing really clownish about that. It was a cheap shot with what looked like an attempt to injure (at the opponent's starting qb no less). At the very least Demps should expect a heavy fine to be levied against him by the league front office.

I thought it should have been an ejection. I mean, it wasn't your run-of-the-mill late hit. It was a 100% cheap shot on a defenseless QB, pure and simple.

 

[Dallaslullaby]

make the kick to end a perfect half for az

 

[Da Hammer]

awesome screen to set up the FG attempt!

 

[DaBoys4Life]

He's been doing it all year.

That's the truth him and Andre Johnson had amazing years.

 

[tomson75]

Nice!!!!!!!

 

[TheCount]

I'm really loving this.

 

[Dallaslullaby]

Love it ...

 

[StylisticS]

Good Job Neil. Good job Larry. Good job Cardinals.

 

[kmp77]

FG GOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, these Cards are fun to watch.

 

[panchucko]

What a half by the AZ Cardinals.

 

[Arch Stanton]

Reid goes back to the locker room for a dozen Big Macs.

 

[zrinkill]

Wow, you really are clueless. I'm a boys fan that's been on this board longer than you have. And my point was that I was glad that AZ didn't waste a timeout. You seem to have looked at my avatar as closely as you did at that play.

You are correct about not paying attention to who you were.

I apologize ..... was too busy arguing with others to even notice.

 

[Da Hammer]

Cardinals looking like last years Pats!!! (before the SB)

 

[dadymat]

Excellent response. Are you insinuating that I'm lying or something. I don't even know you guys, I certainly have no reason to try to impress anyone here with a lie. I wouldn't do that crap even if I knew you. It's an opinion. I predicted Cards-Steelers and hope I'm half wrong.

No im not saying you are lying..just disagreeing with the argument that the Eagles basically got all those games handed to them....as much as i hate an Eagle...they earned where they are
