Someone should explain why American outdoor sports, baseball and football have their playoffs when its cold while the indoor sports have their playoffs when it's warm, makes no sense. It just looks too cold for football.

Oh this is nothing.

 

[MrMarcello]

That's a catch. And that's why defensive players are always told to go grab the ball regardless of the whistle.

 

[freeurmind]

How did Philly not think to pick up that ball.

 

[RobinLFC]

Official's ball!

 

[MrMarcello]

Another puzzling officiating call/decision/whatever.

 

[Sandyman]

Incomplete pass

 

[RobinLFC]

Officials have been bad today, with the Watt non-TD and now this.

 

[RobinLFC]

How was that not picked?!

 

[freeurmind]

They ruled it a catch but by rule with the fumble and no clear recovery they have to call it an incomplete pass, at least that's what Al Micheals explained.

Shouldn't a fumble with no clear recovery be placed on the spot of the fumble (e.g. when the ball gets fumbled out of bounds)?

Yes.

For there to have been no clear recovery, there had to have been a fumble... for there to have been a fumble, there had to have been a completed pass.

Apparently a ruling can only be overturned if there's a clear recovery.

Exactly!

 

[HTG]

What the feck was this commercial.

 

[freeurmind]

I think the weird call was related to this, not sure though. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.c...recovery-instant-replay-rule-needs-to-change/

 

[Kazi]

 

[Raoul]

Thought it was a fair call in the end.

 

[cesc's_mullet]

Great throw followed by another for the TD

 

[Organic Potatoes]

Sproles is one of those guys that seems like has been around forever, like he should be in his forties by now.

 

[MrMarcello]

Go Bears Go

 

[Ramshock]

Go Bears Go

DAAAA BEEAAARSSSS

 

[Carolina Red]

Sproles is one of those guys that seems like has been around forever, like he should be in his forties by now.

He was untouchable on screen plays on EA’s NCAA football game.

 

[RobinLFC]

Can't see the Eagles coming up with a TD right now.

 

[MrMarcello]

Bears are gonna choke another postseason home game.

 

[Verminator]

Can't see the Eagles coming up with a TD right now.

They're pretty close.

 

[Sandyman]

Bears trusting their D by not calling a time out earlier.

 

[RobinLFC]

Haven't been able to establish the run all game, yeah let's waste 2 downs on runs straight up the middle.

The play calling has been atrocious whole season

 

[Sylar]

Yes

 

[Eboue]

[RobinLFC]

DAGGER!!!

 

[Verminator]

Damn!

 

[Sandyman]

YESSSS!!!!

 

[Sylar]

Can see eagles allowing bears to kick a FG to win the game ... If they don't get this 2 pointer

I don't trust Trubisky at all but he doesn't need to go far for a FG indeed.

 

[Sylar]

No good
Looks like he didn't get it for being short haha

 

[cesc's_mullet]

Is that 2? That's so damn close

 

[Sylar]

I don't think that's given

 

[RobinLFC]

Oh man that's cloooooose

 

[Eboue]

i think thats a conversion
