A foot and a hand

Are the difference between 4-2 and 2-4. 

FOOT: Gano's 63 yarder vs. the Giants was as close to a miracle as this franchise has ever seen (Some might argue Foster's one yard run on the same field back in 2003 or the X-Clown TD in overtime, but this is more remarkable than either by far).  He joined an elite list of players (not sure Dempsey should be included due to his wedge foot/shoe) to become one of 6 kickers to ever kick a field goal of 63 yards or more (Prater has a 64 yarder, the record).  6 kicks in NFL history made it through the uprights.  https://www.profootballhof.com/news/long-field-goals/

HAND:  On the final play of the game, most people think Julius Peppers made the play, but that distinction goes to Kyle Love.  Peppers may have dislodged the ball, but the arm was initially hit by Love's extended right hand.  Wentz admitted that he was upset because Jefferies broke open toward the goal posts when Eric Reid came forward to take an underneath WR.  However, when his arm was hit and the ball then dislodged, he knew the opportunity to win the game for the Eaglets vanished.  In the photo below, you see Love (93, to the left in white) and Peppers (90, to the right).  Love's right hand is striking the arm of Wentz---Peppers would then dislodge the ball, but by then, the opportunity to throw the TD was gone. 

Just thought I would share.

So talented players doing their jobs wins football games. Thanks for sharing!

I can also share a fact that you illustrate:  People behind fake names with a computer and free McDonald's internet (it must be your break) can be peckerholes.

ah, so this is a fact?

If this post is being positive, then I apologize for my sarcasm. However, if you are being negative, then I stick to what I said.

Too use to negativity on this board.

Two eyes, two ears, a chin, a mouth, ten fingers, two nipples, a butt, two kneecaps, a penis.  I have just described to you the Loch Ness monster, and the reward for its capture - all the riches in Scotland.  So I have one question...why are you here?

It was to celebrate those who stepped up and won games when a loss was nearly certain.  That does not equate to watching people do their jobs.  Besides, anyone can post thoughts on here without your approval.  Your sarcasm reflects a lack of awareness, not any degree of analytical acumen.  It is a game of inches, and these two games proved that--just a moment to reflect on how frail the line in the NFL between loss and defeat and how grateful we should be---you interpreted that as a negative, not me.  Without Love/Peppers and Gano going above and beyond their jobs by stepping up when it matters most, we would be analyzing the 2019 draft today.

If I wanted to watch people do their jobs I would watch road construction crews or Japanese restaurant chefs.

    • Oh, no TV for tonight's game unless you have the NHL Network, I believe. I could be wrong, hopefully?
    • Early returns are great and exciting but also worth noting that Gettleman had a few drafts that looked incredible early on and wound up mostly sucking (2014 mainly). Also PFF; grain of salt, etc.    I'm completely sold on Tet being a stud, knocked a high pick out of the park like we needed to and always should. Nearly sold on Scourton. Not sold on Princely but he had flashes. Not sold on Etienne as more than a 3rd stringer and special teamer, but that's not terrible for his draft position. Big fan of Ransom and think he'll be a starter.  Cam Jackson : IDK, I see limited upside but we didn't see much of him Evans was a nice find for draft position and he had a great rookie year for a late round rookie TE with plenty of veteran competition. Not sure about his upside though, seems like best case is a long term #2/3 TE, which isn't bad. Jimmy Horn, personally I didn't see a damn thing from him that impressed me all year. And he got a lot of opportunities. Pulling for the kid, but not convinced he's an NFLer.   UDFA: Fitzgerald was an amazing find
    • Hoping someone tells us Bussi was in the starter's crease for the morning skate. Otherwise, place your 1st shot- 1st goal bets! Any closer to a deal that could land a 2C in Trocheck or Brayden Schenn? Or land a winger in Alex Tuch or reach for Jordan Kyrou?
