Frank Gore's numbers next week:  32 carries for for 176 yards and 2 TD, sounds about right.

Would be even more hilarious if Westbrook shredded the Eagles, right?

not for my fantasy team, no.

it was nice to see djax and donny hugging and chatting it up before the game. especially since they hate each other.

lady in front of me got all chocked up when she saw desean run towards mcnabb like it was his long lost father.

NFL explains replay, ball spotting issue from Eagles loss

Published: Wednesday, October 06, 2010

Eagles head coach Andy Reid got an explanation from the NFL for the controversial delay of game penalty he believes cost him a touchdown with 23 seconds left in the first half of the loss to the Washington taterskins.

This is just a hunch but he probably didn't like it.

Reid decided to kick a field goal rather than sneak quarterback Kevin Kolb in what would become a 17-12 defeat to the Skins. Reid felt the ball was spotted further away from the goal line than before a replay review. Obviously he wasn't comfortable Kolb could put the ball in the end zone.

Additionally Reid was dumbfounded to learn the play clock was running out before he could decide if another player could get the yard — all of that after a lengthy review and a timeout.

The NFL issued this report explaining the ruling:

"The instant replay review was to determine if the ball broke the plane of the goal line. Replay confirmed the ruling on the field, so the original spot — just inside the one yard-line — stood. In terms of the delay of game and the mechanics of re-starting play after a timeout, the referee blows his whistle, makes a physical and verbal signal to the bench area, and then gives the signal for the play clock to begin. This is what took place in Sunday's game."

An NFL spokesman insisted the ball didn't move from where it was spotted before the review.

Reid felt the spot moved from about the one-inch line to the one-yard line. He also said he "goofed."

The spot was definitely changed.  The NFL's full of shtein, but the egg is still on Reid's face.

[Diomedes]

egg?

Sorry, I meant "semen."
