A block would have squared up with his hands to slow him down. He lowered the shoulder to decleat him.

Don't they teach these guys to plant their feet at the 10 yard line and if it goes over your head let it go. Why fair catch the ball on the 6?

come on now. that one was textbook.
And some of us were openly questioning that first TD. Not the fumble/no fumble part but whether or not he was down first anyway

old time HOF WR did this type of block a lot.. They are pussifying this league big time. Its an unpopular opinion, but its true.

The subtlety they pointed to in the broadcast was that had he just gotten in his way or blocked with his hands then no penalty. He lowered his shoulder and Reed was looking at the runner not lazard so unnecessary roughness. Tough call but seemed like the right one.

That should have been caught, cmon gainwell

dude, seriously?
There's a good reason that kind of block has been outlawwed. It used to cause a TON of huge hits and injuries. There's a lot of momentum involved and those kinds of hits are dangerous.
(Not that I disagree with the rules getting tougher on defense, but this change was appropriate)

I get player safety, but you got to let guys make a play.. Its sucks, but that is football. Its a 14-9 game, what is Lazard suppose to do there, just let the defender catcher Wilson?

Gainwell has compromising photos of Sirianni, that's the only explanation for his playing time. He is JAG, nothing special.

I think we all appreciate that. Still think had they called him down by contact instead of a fumble down by contact would have stood as the call.

you're being a little hard headed here. It was a textbook foul, and a good call

Hall with 5/54 catching the football has made him a decent flex option thus far, just doesn't uite seem to be able to break one off on the ground.

Ok, one post…
The official in his explanation of why its overturned to a touchdown said “hurts never touched the ground so he’s not down by contact”.
No one on earth could see if he was down or not. It wasn’t ruled a td. There’s NO WAY there was anything clear that warranted making that TD

Man Philly fans travel better than any in the league. Every game is a home game for them. As if they needed the extra help.

problem was that they did have a clear replay showing the ball came out AFTER his hand reached it over the goal line...so it clearly COULDN't be a fumble. It was either short of the line to gain or a TD.Ok, one post…

So if it wasn't a fumble (and it wasn't), what DO they correct it to besides TD? To overturn to short, since that wasn't the call on the field, wouldn't they then need clear evidence he was down before the reach?
It was tough, and I think they got it wrong, but to Eagles benefit.

Was just about to post the same thing. Swift is better at everything and is capable of taking one to the house at any moment. It’s infuriating

Maybe the jets should trying forcing hurts to his left. Just an idea.

That’s at least the 4th time today Goedert is wide open and Hurts completely ignores him

Reed Blankenship is OUT with a ribs injury.
Eli Ricks is OUT with a knee injury.
Bradley Roby is questionable with a shoulder injury.
