Cooks was doing circles on the field completely unaware and unafraid . Jenkins tried to separate him from the ball and make a big p,any for his team. Agree. It was a great defensive play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather the calls still be legit. 1 hour ago, Boatdrinks said: I thought it was just a great defensive play. Cooks was doing circles on the field completely unaware and unafraid .

Now, if you want to hit the Enhance button enough times to figure out down to the millimeter where someone was lined up, and it was off, then it's a no call, but it looks like the Eagles make legitimate attempts to make sure they were in an acceptable formation. And of course, no one is mentioning how, on the play before that, Alshon Jeffrey was mugged in the end zone with a no call. Scoring there would have eliminated the need for the "Philly Special". Same thing on the interception, where if the refs were being ticky tak, that could have been holding. They called fairly consistently through the game, and gave the Patriot DBs plenty of leeway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the WR checked with an official who gave him a categorically wrong answer doesn't mean that it was OK. It should have been a penalty, and it's pretty cut and dried. That said, Philly won, which is a very good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no it is not cut and dried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are going to give the refs tape measures to align guys every play it is a judgment. So no it is not cut and dried. He was *clearly* not on the line. It wasn't close. It was very much a cut and dry case. More importantly, though, Philly won. That's what matters in the end. 7 minutes ago, Doc said: It's semantics.

Regardless, it probably wouldn't have changed the outcome, and it helped Philly win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reading says they give about a half yard from the tackle. The ref said fine and that's all that matters. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point he's not a defenseless receiver. He's running against the grain and looking up field and that's his own fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, it probably wouldn't have changed the outcome, and it helped Philly win. Again it's a judgment call. Had the official told Jeffery "no, you need to be up a couple feet," Jeffery would have done it and nothing else would have changed about that play. And being a few feet back was no advantage to Philly. Now if Jeffery didn't ask the official, then you could argue that they got away with one. But again, being a few feet back didn't mean anything. And frankly I have no idea why that rule is in place. Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills of Boston Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I love how pats fans are taking pride in the fact no ones opening complaining about the refs and telling other fan bases to do the same Etc wonder where their insufferable NEXT MAN UP mantra has been? oh right. It’s next man up until they lose and need an excuse. #malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is offside and an offensive free play... /penalty. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
