Week 5 - Lions: Detroit What

[PhillyPhreak54]

Even so the decision to run Mathews outside was dumb. So stupid

honestly don t even know why matthews was in the game there...should have run some read option with sproles...at the very least sproles in the backfield anywhere keeps the defense on their heels...with matthews they had their ears pinned back

Exactly

If you want that pitch to the short side Sproles is your guy

Stupid call by Doug

i dont doubt that but wash flat out stinks

think the eagles are an 8/9 win team and it would be tough to get there losing to both detroit and washington

[Eagles_Legendz]

Needed the W today no doubt about that.  Had it completely locked up too.  2nd and 3 after the run up the middle when one first down ends the game.

[QB Eagles]

Eagles were up to 84% before the fumble.

[Don Ho]

Defense was stellar in the second half until that little twat Golden Tate broke their back. 

This team has no receivers and a fumbling feature back that was due for one.  Of course according to Charles Davis it was the greatest defensive play ever when DGB dropped the touchdown.  It was dropped.  DGB has to catch that.  Does he even have another gear?  Guy seems like he's just half assing it out there.

Where the hell was the "playmaker" Ertz today?

Buckle up gentlemen.

Btw the non reversal on the fumble recovery was huge

Kelce was touching the ball while oob - and so did the lions dude

sure is.  Holy farg, that is brutal.

Guy was out of bounds but Morelli isn't going to overturn that unless he has a crystal clear shot of someone being out and there wasn't one.

After that it's three division games and the Ravens, and who knows what that Ravens team is. Whole rest of the season it's big league football.

that just summed up how bad the officiating was today.  Always the last thing you want to blame but it was an abomination today.  I honestly thought it would have been overturned.  Thought the replays from just about every angle showed it.

14-111


And...


2-18


And the Lions got five first downs out of those flags.


Absolutely ridiculous. 

I'm sure IGY will be along to explain why they were biased in favor of the Eagles any moment.

pretty much

you'd have to have one of those grainy super close up shots that you see sometimes showing a wr's foot out of bounds to have overturned that

[QB Eagles]

I never saw anything in the replays that definitely showed a Lion touching the ball while out of bounds, so I thought the review was legit. Looking at it again however, Kelce was clearly humping the ball while his arm was out. Go to about 35 seconds:
