Mannies v. Eagles GameNight Thread

Point is refs blew up once he went down. Regardless of the rule on QBs if you make heavy contact that late on a defenceless player you're going to get flagged. He didn't do enough to avoid contact hence the flag. Thems the rules.

Brandon Graham was 5 yards away from Heineke when he kneeled down. He took 2.9 more steps and hit him 2 seconds later. I don't know what the discussion is. It was unnecessary roughness. I've seen a lot less called.

News Flash for all NFL defensive players...The NFL is going to protect the QB.

Yeah no brainer of a call these days, don’t get the fuss over it, we’ve definitely seen much worse calls

I'm not arguing that it wasn't a penalty. But I would be so effing pissed off if we lost because of that, so when we win by the same token, it also takes a little of the shine off for me personally. I'm still glad we won. Better than the alternative.

It was definitely the right call, and every football talking head has said as much. Some have said that they don't like it at that point of the game, but I don't know how you can call it in the 1st quarter and not call it in the 4th quarter. Everybody talks about the referees and consistency, but then they don't want consistency in certain moments. It's BS.

We'll just agree to disagree. It just looked like a very weak call, especially for that time of the game. I think if it was the other way around we'd all be pretty upset.

But I think we got some calls that went our way. The ref who missed the Davis facemask was standing right in front of that tackle and for whatever reason didn't call it. That was such an egregious facemask plus it was a turnover. The ball should've went back to Philly plus 15. We got some breaks go our way last night no doubt.

Yep we got some breaks .. but the interception last week that we got and scored that would have ended game was a iffy call .. the Dodson call last night was iffy ..factor in the fact we dominated most of the First half it was a great win !

I agree, it wasn't a perfectly officiated game. We got some calls, and they got some calls. Graham didn't blow Heinicke up, but he also didn't have to touch him at all...let alone knock him over.

Either way, to go in there on Monday night and knock them off their high horse was impressive, and it wasn't a result of the officiating. They were simply outplayed.

Graham took nearly 3 full steps before running into him. You can’t breathe on QBs anymore of course that was going to get called.

As you should be pissed because it was a boneheaded play. Graham had plenty of time to stop and he didn't.

He really did take 3 full steps and then slid right into him, I dont see what people are saying about it was a bad call. I am convinced some of us just want to lose games so we can complain about it.

If its a foul in the first quarter, its a foul in the 4th quarter. Time of game shouldn't matter and we would be upset but not with the refs, we'd be mad at the player for taking 3 steps then sliding into a player who had given himself up already. We have been on the wrong side of stupidity like that just last week with Ridgeway on the FG. If someone is calling that a weak call, I genuinely don't know what they are looking at.
