is part of what's wrong with the NFL. You can have a catch, but if nobody picks up the ball, it isn;t?
Makes perfect sense.
The only thing I can think of is when calling it incomplete they blew the whistle and maybe why no one went after the ball?
It does seem like having the incomplete stand is a big time bail out on them either blowing the call or being unsure of all aspects of the new catch rule.
has been a really inconsistent QB, and as we've seen with teams that have great D's, he's been good enough not to fuck things up.
When you guys watch the Bears are you really ever marveling at the efficiency of their offense, or have they done an excellent job minimizing turnovers and winning the TOP battle so their D can shut the opposition down?
Is either blind or clueless. No other explanation.
He may have accuracy issues.
He may not know where to go with the ball.
But the guy has a great arm.
I am not getting into a debate about Trubisky. I could care less about him except that he does enough to win in the next 30 minutes. What I do know is every time I watch him he seems to throw picks or near picks to the outside.
...waving incomplete. I guess that tells the Eagles not to even try to pick up the ball (although you see players always, 95% of the time, pick it up regardless).
Seems to me, it's a completion with a fumble, and if no one picks it up....should stay with the team in possession of it.

But again, that ref is waving it off............
Agreed and we'll never know but I wonder if either team did pick it up for a clean recovery if they would've ruled catch/fumble clear recovery?
It sure looked like a catch based on the new rule to me, and I'm leaning on this crew not knowing what the hell to do and just took the easy way out and let it stand.
When you score 6 points in one half with two interceptions Â

They talk with NFL headquarters on the headset. It wasn't this crew, it was NFL HQ.

Well that honestly doesn't change my thinking. I want to see the rule that states it has to be incomplete when there is no clear recovery instead of it just being dead at the spot of the fumble because to me it was clearly a catch.
So your point was about INTs? Ok. He doesn’t have many buy make the point about why the INTs May have happened. In this case it sure wasn’t about floating the ball.

While I agree that something is rotten in Denmark, that is not what you said. You blamed the crew. I simply said the ruling came from NY. Guess I nitpicked.
Great - he can throw it through a wall, if he can find the wall and if he can hit the wall. Sterling endorsement of a 1st round pick.
How about this...as his first year as a starter, he had a 2-1 TD to int ratio, 95 QB rating, a true running threat who made plenty of plays with his feet, and they were division champs while he won his last 8 games as a starter?
@SeifertESPN: From the NFL rule book: "If there is no video evidence of a clear recovery or the ball going out of bounds,the ruling of incomplete stands."
Makes perfect sense.

what a joke
I'll check back later.
Go troll somewhere else....

I know people are going to jump me for this, but that throw into the end zone by Trubisky was an Eli Manning-special...

He may not know where to go with the ball.

Because it was complete and nobody picked up the fumble because the whistle blew?
I think so. Crazy, isn't it?
I mean I get they blew the whistle and it’s unfair the eagles thought it was incomplete and couldn’t go after it, but tough break.
Seems to me, it's a completion with a fumble, and if no one picks it up....should stay with the team in possession of it.

That can play. They are down to 4th and5th string
Incredible, isn't it?
C'mon, they're playing the Bears.
Last week the Skins.
Dallas chewed them up worse than the score indicated, and Houston - a walking sack machine - scored 30 in Philly.
Chicago needs to attack the Philly corners and not get conservative if they want to win this game.

Sounds like Josh Allen in Buffalo, too.

It's impressive anyway you cut it. Making the postseason with playing with bums in your secondary is pretty damn good.

He's like Romo? How? He at least moved the ball and did something.
3rd down bailout

Ehhh, he nailed him in the head. Have to call that one.

That was obvious as anything that was a late hit lol

Please go away.
We see worse than that most weeks

Is that a decent endorsement for a first rounder?

fuck is that a hit on a defenseless player?

Because the rule is fucking mental. Either the defender has to lay up when the ball is in the air or defy the laws of physics.
BTW, are you just an angry asshole?
Or do you think you know what you’re talking about on any subject you rant about?
I have more confidence in Lamar Jackson
Unfortunately it will be the Eagles scoring.
