That game should have ended in regulation. How in the world does Wentz not fumble on that Scandrick sack? It would have either led a return TD or a Bailey chip shot to win in regulation.

That was Carson's best play of the night I thought. How many QBs don't fumble there? I know there's a lot of talk about this around draft time, but his hands much be HUGE!

Especially from the blindside, I still don't understand how he didn't fumble.
Scandrick gave a good whack on his arm.

He did not fumble because Scandrick hit his shoulder first. Loved Scandricks hustle and play but he should have CREATED the fumble there and missed!

He got lucky cause it definitely bobbled a bit.

When Collinsworth said that it was probably the best play Wentz made in the game, my buddy and I lost it! It was purely a timing issue, where his hand was lower in the throw progression when Scandrick hit him. A split second later and his arm higher and that's a fumble, no matter how "large" his hands!

Wentz's arms are so damn long Scandrick stripped his bicep instead of his wrist/hand/ball!

Just dumb luck... Oscan missed the swipe... and Wentz was able to hold on.. on his fall his grip started to loosen. I swore that was game... saw the play develop early...

Yes, he hit the shoulder. He should have swiped the arm. But it's easy to second guess. I think his mind was on making the sack. You don't always have time to set up the perfect situation. He got there, got Wentz down and let the offense do its thing.

Common the non fumble was apart of the NFL rating plans...everyone knows the NFL scripts these games...was apart of the script on Sunday for the first and last game to go into OT. I think the conspiracy book I read about this season lists this week as rivalry OT week....:thumbup:
