If we can't beat a mangled Dolphins team for the division I don't know if I want to be in the playoffs TBH

It's too bad we can't scheme up a traditional screen and take advantage of these aggressive defenses against us

Why have they regressed so much off last year? It's the same group, even should be somewhat better. Production has really declined with Diggs and and Gabe is very inconsistent. Brady really hasn't been able to get the WR unit going.

They have been pretenders all year. It's also not always about who is better. The Eagles don't want it this year. They're suffering the same demise as most Super Bowl participants the following year.

Tampa can beat them Rams can beat them, and Seahawks did beat them.

If you recall we barely threw to the WR's vs KC. Then we had the Dallas game where we barely threw a pass. Last week the Charger game in which Gabe DID have a pretty big day. Then just today. It's a bit crazy to think, our entire unit is at 107 yard average the last 4 games. That is less than what Steph got used to pulling in alone. Can it work with this level of production? I don't think we can keep expecting to manufacture points like this. What is happening anyway? Yes, easy to say the WR's suck, but isn't it basically the same unit as last year, likely even slightly better? The line did not play well today, but isn't that unit better than last year by a good margin? Any thought on if you think this is a rut or perhaps something bigger is occurring?

The Eagles will be bounced in the first round

When I started this thread I felt like McD would be rolling with him next year. I still feel that is likely.

I’m just talking about the situation

Welp, this would qualify as a defensive save. We have been about 40% over Hr McD era

Douglas is leading the Bills in receptions, yards, and TD’s 😂

Love AJ this year

Just getting over Covid but about to grab the bottle with how this is going

I think by the end of this game Sunday ticket will cost a pack of gum for the rest of the season

He has been elite

Rasul, hold my beer

We will settle down, but let’s not pretend this isn’t who we are. We have gone for quarter length stretches in so many games this year where we can’t get a first down. It’s not new.

What I was thinking. This is sort of a stinky deal. Sure, it seems the refs made a mistake. They also announced the mistake they made before the ball was snapped. The Lions most certainly heard it but as you said, no time outs. It would have been nice for somebody from the Lions or Cowboys to have commented on this specific aspect. Detroit handled it post game reasonably well. It's not like they just torched the earth. But they did make it seem like they had no awareness that confusion could have occurred pre play. They could have taken the penalty and kicked.

100%. It's a game with a lot of volatility in play to play outcomes and if played long enough you will see things you might only see one time in thousands of plays and you will see them when it doesn't matter and when it does.

It looked like he was going to just check on the lineman, perhaps even to make sure he reported. It got the refs eyes. Then the ref just made a human mistake and mixed the two up. Humans do make mistakes like that but you really hope they would sort that out. Not throw a flag after the play concludes. I mean the ref had to feel a little unsure in that moment. A little in doubt. If they just walk away at that moment the worst that uncertainty can bring is the natural result of the play. Really bad. Just brutal loss.

That call reminded me of a poker player on tilt.

I would be so pissed off I was a Lions fan. We talk about bad calls a lot, but not unreviewable calls that determine the outcome of a game that are against the natural outcome. Holy *****. The last one this bad was probably Fail Mary.

Now it looks like the ref improperly noted the player who reported as 70 and not 68. The Ref looks like he messed this up. WOW. Brutal.

Well, nobody can actually speak to what somebody else said. But this part of it is pretty black and white.
