Of all the joke calls in the league this year, this is the worst IMO.

I got home from a road trip at around 1pm yesterday.  I turned on football, and immediately thought, nah.  Maybe it's because I think the Bills need to win out to have a legitimate playoff shot, or its the madness of the last two seasons, but I just dont feel like watching football.  The refs play into this.  They've been horrible this season.   The actual on field play has been awful, and if an underdog actually hits a good play, I know its coming back because of a hold.  

 

I dont recall a season where the on field product has been this bad.

 I like Dom.  I don’t see anything wrong w the ejection. Not sure why people are blaming Dom here. 

They're blaming Dom because it all started when a he (a non-participant) put his hand on a player.   At a minimum, I think he should be removed from the field for the rest of the season.

They need to make an example of him and he needs to be fired from the Eagles and NFL.

 

This is a really terrible precedent.  For one, you got a starter on the other team ejected with zero cost to the home team.  Second, this guy is now a household name and will be loved in Philadelphia and his actions will be glorified.  I'm sure Chickies and Petes will name a sandwich after him called the Big Dom.  That's not good.  Others could be looking for their 15 minutes of fame.

 

JAGs shouldn't and can't be going out and interacting with players like that.  Especially an individual who is head of security, and is responsible from keeping civilians from doing stupid things like he just did.

for the simple principle and making a statement about this. if tomlin was suspended from a game for unintentionally blocking a players path then this guy intentionally involving himself in a game needs to be more severe.

 

the eagles should save face and suspend him themselves.

 

coincidently i was hanging christmas lights during the game and nfl radio had been broadcasting the eagles broadcasters this series. they were overjoyed that they had a security guy standing up for "his" players and preachign that this guy just earned more respect from the team. that everyone in phili knows who he is and loves him - that's incredible. why do they know the security guy?!?!

 

of course, later they had the niners radio guys on and they kept calling the eagles "the cockroaches."

agreed and this is why it quietly needs to be addressed by the team before it gets worse. of course, philidelphia has no class. they'll do nothing.

 

i hope the nfl comes down hard on this.

I’ve said it before, I’m Pennsylvania born, raised, and current resident.  The majority of the state is fantastic, including Pittsburgh.  Philadelphia is a garbage city, overwhelmingly filled with sad, degenerate, garbage humans.  Took my son to visit Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell several years ago, and had to step over/shoulder plow through several vagrants after refusing their pleas for $$.  That’s the one spot you would think the city would care about keeping safe/clean.  Sad

Every team needs to have their strength and conditioning coaches on the sideline taking swipes at the opposing team.

after yesterday - sure - we should.

 

if i'm a team owner i am willing to pay a fine for having a staff member interfere if it means taking out a premium starter on the opposing team.

everything about the eagles is way out over their skies.

 

Watching them come back to reality and slip is going to be highly enjoyable.  They are going to get blown out in Dallas. Their saving grace is going to be that Dallas may beat buffalo and if not Philly will be the 5 seed and get to play the nfc west winner which is going to be in the mix for worst team to ever make the playoffs all time.

 

Also how come no one talks about their offensive issues.  They came back and won last week when they should have not but their offense was awful the first half and was pretty bad yesterday.  

 

anyway, Watching them get blown out next sunday night and the philly media and fans meltdown will be enjoyable for me in a year of misery as a sports fan.  

 

If Buffalo can somehow win it is going to be a great sunday.

"Dom" 

 

Does that guy not scream Philly to a T?

 

Yes.

 

If the nfl doesn't ban him for life from the sideline then every team should go hire a Joey bag o' Donuts look a like for Dom and have him pick a fight with the other teams best players....Voila they both get ejected and you have an advantage.
