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.

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.

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.

They also said it was some kind of hybrid/"new" strain.  Seems like a bad time to be trying out experiments on a playing surface.

Worst field ever in Super Bowl history. Eat poo Roger Goodell.

 

 

It's 60 degrees on dry grass I have no idea how this is so slippery. It is basically a couple feet of dirt on a huge retractable stage so maybe it hasn't dealt with temperature swings very well or something

Yeah I can't imagine, unless it is just overwatered and is retaining moisture from that?  Only thing I could think of.  That and they said it was a new strain they hadn't used before, so maybe that strain is just naturally slicker.  Regardless, you would think they would have all of those t's crossed and i's dotted before this game.

It either stays inside or gets rolled out to basically the parking lot. There was youtube vid on it like 10 years ago. I've never seen it look this bad so yeah seems like they fuged up on switching it out only 2 weeks ago in the middle of winter

The stadium surface has always been an issue. When the BCSCG with Cam was there, players were slipping constantly. That was 2011.

      2025 College Football Thread

      I mean, at the time that wouldn't have worked for them. The truth is that when they had the biggest advantage in that conversation was also when Notre Dame was at their peak arrogance and revenue stream creation(prior to the Longhorns Network, etc). Notre Dame was just never going to work out. The biggest thing they could have done is go hard AF and try to give insane deals to the premier Big 12 teams. Even then, most of them were eyeing the Big Ten and SEC. The biggest issue with the ACC was betting wrong. Miami and Virginia Tech ended up being disasters. Basically former college football powerhouses that ended up being afterthoughts by the time they arrived. I mean Miami specifically have literally had a total of three double digit win seasons since they joined the ACC in 2004 and two of those are in the past 2 seasons. Virginia Tech just fell apart at the wrong time, although I think Franklin will bring them back to prominence to an extent. Had we had it to do in hindsight, probably taking teams like TCU, Baylor, etc would have been wiser options than some of the moves into the Northeast and getting Miami.   But, ultimately, fug all this nonsense. It's the insane greed of college football that killed regional rivalries, college basketball and entire storied, REGIONAL conferences. That is the real blame. The thirst for the destruction of all college sports which sits squarely at the feet of the slobbering, ignorant rednecks and hillbillies at the top of the college football sphere.
