Washington @ Philadelphia - NFC Championship Game thread

[gonzo1105]

Too many mistakes by a young team to overcome so far. Late hits, turnovers. If they were playing a clean game they would be right there with Philadelphia but the way their playing right now they wouldn't have beat anyone in the playoffs so far. Just a lot of unforced errors.

Agreed. Seems to be too big of a moment for a lot of their guys. Oddly reminds me of the Bills team that played in the AFCCG years ago against the Chiefs. 

 

We've come a long way since then, so will Washington I think.

It's not just that. Washington needs some better dudes on defense.

AJ Brown, who had kind of a bumpy disappointing year by his standards, charging up at this point in the season is kind of a terrifying development

I hated that call by the ref.. bang bang play that the defender has to make there. You cannot throw a flag on that. I don’t know what this is but it isn’t the NFL. The only thing worse is Mahomes diving by the sideline last week trying to draw a penalty. Just a new low for the NFL.

I'm proud of them.  They have played well above their pay grade all year just to get here.

The fix is in. I can see the NFL loving the Super Bowl story line, Andy Reid facing his former team.

Since 2021, Eagles are 6-0 in games officiated by Shawn Hoculi.

Well that would be a lame storyline because that's already happened.

I don’t think so. Washington easily could be in this. Possibly even leading at half

He technically hit him a split second late, but a tough call to make on a 3rd down that Philly didn't convert.

Pokes the center in the eye! Nice !

How is that not illegal hands to the face?

The bad guys always win with good ol shawn

How about a personal foul for punching a guy in the eye???

[TheFunPolice]

Not sure why centers don't wear visors...

 

Eagles are a dirty team 

[GETTOTHE50]

Iggles are messing around with them now

Indeed. Surprised that they didn't call some sort of foul on that specifically.
