Im still blown away by that call not being called for illegal man downfield…. 3 lineman were around Godfrey 3 yards past the LoS

I think that's another one of those calls that the NFL is just way too subjective on.  It's always seemed like a call that our opponents never get called for, but one that always seems to bite us in the ass at some point.  Yet, teams like the Eagles that are so RPO heavy are given so much leeway with it considering how often and quickly their linemen are downfield.

Yeah, not sure how you can just monster truck a guy like that clearly after a play is dead. If that was a QB or WR instead of a defender every flag would've littered the field 

It's the eagles. If it was another team, that team would be flagged all the way out to the bus. Eagles just play this way and everyone knows it and they get away with it. Same with Johnson getting an early start every snap.

How was that not a penalty on Jason Kelce???? Wow. And I'm surprised they didn't pull McDuffie for protocol after that.

 

 

Yea if the OL is close enough to immediately take the head off a DB, it’s an illegal man downfield unless the play was at the LoS…lotta little things like that going one way tonight.

A little bit more on the field ...

THIS grass was installed just two weeks ago. It gets rolled out every day to get sun and then gets returned to uh ... it's closet lol? But yeah, it's not the same grass they used all year. The question that needs to be asked is: how long does this rolling grass slab take to uhh ... "take"? I mean, it's not like it can root itself deep and there's a foot of dirt and whatnot everywhere. It's probably very thin, no? If it takes a month to (what's the word I'm looking for here) get all "worn in" and "tough", then they made a huge goof just installing it two weeks ago.

To be fair, tackles getting away with false starts isn't unique to Philly.  Just check out most teams we play week to week in a season.  poo is ridiculous.
