There was a play a couple of years again with David Patten of the Pats. He made a reception and got KNOCKED OUT on the sidelines. His head was laying out of bounds and the ball was between his legs in bounds. A Buffalo player came by and scooped the ball up and rad a runback. The ruling was if any part of the player is out of bounds while in contact with the ball in bounds, the ball is considered to be out of bounds.

Nah, if he's OB and the ball hits him, dead ball. Like catching a punt with a foot on the line.

So whose the new OC in philly next season?
Lets face it, it was a miracle they got in the playoffs. Their O hasn't been good at all either.

I thought that is what the referee announced.

Great play there to set up Rackers. Nice clock management by Warner.

Yeah, I know, but I didn't think he was out of bounds...

Warner sacrificing his body on that play. Hard to root against that guy.

I don't see it like others here that the Eagles are "getting all the breaks." Not at all. I do see it that the Cards are making all the plays and Philly being down 2tds.
But ALOT of football left. Seriously.

hey, looks like mcnabb is being a true leader...he's taught the whole team how to choke

That KO out of bounds or not out of bounds isn't going to matter in the long run. The Cards are going to win regardless. It's a moo point.

What's strange is that he was phenomenal against the blitz in St. Louis, which is what made the Martz system so effective, and had people talking about how his arena league play was instrumental in his NFL success. Then suddenly he goes to the Giants, and he's taking sacks left and right because he's too slow and can't get the ball away quickly enough. Then back to the Cards, and suddenly he's a genius again. That's not to take anything away from the season he's had, because he deserves a ton of credit for everything form beating out the guy the Cards wanted to win the competition in training camp to throwing for the second most regular season yards to leading them to an 18 point lead at halftime in the NFCCG. But it's hard to overestimate the impact of top quality receivers guys like Warner, Manning and co. have had on their relative success.

This looks a lot like the game last week at Carolina. Hmm. It could just be that Arizona is currently the best team in the NFL.

Awesome half for the Cards.

if the eagles drop a DE when they blitz heavy like that, the quick hit to the slot is no longer an option. Baffles me that they wont fire zone blitz and instead just bring everyone from a side

Or to underestimate the effect of a lingering hand injury while in NY.ETA--Not to mention, threw for over 2000 yds while only starting 9 games and completed 63% of his passes. Only thing lacking while in NY was that he had only 6 TDs and 4 INTs in that time. He also won 5 of his first 7 games there. They then dropped 2 in a row and moved to Eli. Warner was far from the problem in NY as they had a top draft pick ready to move in as the starter.

Yes McNabb is the reason the defense is on a pace to give up 48 points today.Is that how the current Cardinal waxing of Philly is being spun now?hey, looks like mcnabb is being a true leader...he's taught the whole team how to choke

Looks like United Flight 1435 leaves Philadelphia on 2/3/09 at 745 a.m., landing at DFW at 1055 a.m. Then it looks like you've got about a 2 hour layover before United Flight 5 leaves DFW landing in Honolulu at 525 p.m. It looks like first class tickets are still available. Let me know if you need anything else.
Happy to help.

The ruling on the field doesn't have to say the ball hit a player, just that the ball was ruled out of bounds.The ball is ruled out of bounds when it touches the ground out of bounds or when it touches a player who is out of bounds.Two senerios same ruling - ball is out of bounds.

McNabb missed some throws early, but c'mon. 11-19 and a pick on a tipped ball is not the reason they are losing big. The D is getting lit up.Is that how the current Cardinal waxing of Philly is being spun now?hey, looks like mcnabb is being a true leader...he's taught the whole team how to choke

He was when the ball touched his arm. The call was correct. Whether it should be reviewable or not is another matter.

taking nothing away from 'zona right now, but the Eagles are playing horribly. 3 bad penalties, inaccuracy by McNabb, poor clock management by AR, dropped INTs. This game should be 21-17 ARI at the half. Instead, its a blowoutIs that how the current Cardinal waxing of Philly is being spun now?hey, looks like mcnabb is being a true leader...he's taught the whole team how to choke

Mcnabb is the reason, however, that the offense has put up six points so far today though, right?Yes McNabb is the reason the defense is on a pace to give up 48 points today.Is that how the current Cardinal waxing of Philly is being spun now?hey, looks like mcnabb is being a true leader...he's taught the whole team how to choke

Donovan McNabb was born with an extra bone in his neck.... :choke:
Lewis? Avant?
Throw the freaking ball to DJAX. Did anyone see him catch 3 cardinal DBs and Curtis when he was running down the sideline. DJAX caught them all in about 2 seconds. The Cards won't even punt to him. And he doesn't even have a touch?
Sorry but Lewis/Avant/every other bum WR won't win it for you. Might be time to throw it more then 8 yards.
run westbrook, play action djax long. Do that about 6 times in the 2nd half and they might have a shot.

Come on BK. McNabb and the O have been less then stellar, but the Defense is choking away the game. We've only had four possessions!hey, looks like mcnabb is being a true leader...he's taught the whole team how to choke

I agree that it's hard to pin that on McNabb. What about the pace for 12 offensive points, despite multiple breaks like the interception return for a fumble right back to where they started, or three Cards kicks/punts going out of bounds?Yes McNabb is the reason the defense is on a pace to give up 48 points today.Is that how the current Cardinal waxing of Philly is being spun now?hey, looks like mcnabb is being a true leader...he's taught the whole team how to choke

are you even watching the game? Forced throw for the INT (it was tipped because he was never open). TD to lewis missed because he threw 10 yds to the outside instead of to the post. Behind and low and virtually every throw preventing YAC (a key to the WCO). Oh, and yet another horrific intentional grounding call

That's funny, I could've sworn I was a Dolphin fan.Don't watch the elbow, watch the ball. A ball does just change direction and rotation in mid-air for no reason. It's physics.

Mcnabbs choking is why the eagles fans always scream to get him out of town... granted he is one of the statistical leaders, he just needs to take it one step further!!! he has only made one good throw this half...

I am just wondering how the Philly fans are handling this, after being so cocky through the playoff run only to watch their team choke away another NFC Championship game. It can't be good.

agreed. but this should be a close, high scoring, game right now. If McNabb makes 2 more accurate throws, this is a 1 score gameCome on BK.

Refs messed up the call...but it seemed pretty clear it hit the player while HE was out of bounds. It should have been Philly ball at the 40.

Probably the same was as the last 5 they've lost?

Warner's been absolutely masterful so far. How he managed to recover his 1999-2001 form I have no idea but that first half was a clinic.
BuddyKnuckles
Footballguy
please, Brown needs to go find Freddie and hang out for the rest of his career. Doesnt matter who is at WR if the throw is 3 yds behind them
I agree with that, but it's hard to put this entirely on DMac. The defense has been terrible to this point.That said, I don't think this game is over by any means. This Philly Offense can certainly put up 20 points on this Cardinal Defense in a half if the defense can play even remotely close to it's potential.agreed. but this should be a close, high scoring, game right now.
