***Offical NFL 2016-17 Week 5 - The Philly Thread***

I'm glad to see the Colts managed to grab defeat from the jaws of victory, but I'm still afraid they'll have a late season surge and do enough to save Pagano and/or Grigson.

Redskins haven't run this well in something like 4 seasons or more. Not only that, but effective with 3 separate backs. That was a clinic today.

I really like their passing and running weapons this year. Healthy Reed, Crowder is developing into a real force, and Garcon is still that ever-dependable Anquan Boldin like 1st-down converter. Jackson is still good if he can ever get out of his head. These guys getting better each week.

Not sure what game you were watching yesterday, but Reed is not healthy and didn't even play lol.

I was so happy to see Wentz look like a rookie yesterday. 11/22, sacked like 6 times, no TD's, would have had under 100 yards passing if it weren't for that bomb he threw that should have had a push off called on it. It's funny how magically everyone who is an Eagles fan I know had a phone malfunction after the game. They sure as shit were talking a lot of shit prior to the game then all of a sudden they are nowhere to be found.

lol. I do like how Beckham has been making his amends with the kicker's net all day.

It's funny but also just goes to show you that Beckham is all about "me me me" and nothing more.

 

[BrokenVisage]

well, you should have your 3 by now.

Yup, 15 yards = 1 point in this league but Gore got me more than enough. And I just traded Kelvin Benjamin for him (needed RBs) so this was sweet.

Of course I just saw Big Ben will need meniscus surgery so now I have a new thing to worry about.

uh, what? that is the exact reason I said "healthy reed" implying, with reed in the game.

Of course I knew Reed was out this week.

It read like you were saying their passing game is great right now with a healthy Reed.

Yeah, you're right. It definitely isn't clear. It was clear in my head when I was typing it though!

Clearly evidence that this forum and the internet is rigged against me!

wait wha...Indy lost? I went to bed before the game ended, but I seem to recall Indy being at 23-10 or something going into the 4th quarter (not a huge lead obviously, but Huston was completely incompetent on Offense up until that point). Or maybe my half-sleep was hallucinating that score

Richard Sherman pass interference on Julio Jones. Not called.

I'm thrilled it ended like that. Makes up for the Falcons purposely taking out Bennett with that cut block. Goons. Not to mention multiple PI's they got away with.

Richard Sherman pass interference on Julio Jones. Not called.

Absolute worst call of the day. A call that could have prevented a win by ATL and alter the playoffs. Sherman didn't just grab his arm, he locked it behind his own back, and OBVIOUS PI call. How the refs missed that is beyond me. Nobody else around but the two defense backs, refs on both sides of it. The Seahacks didnt win that game.

Don't worry though, the refs continue to see all of the Redskins excessive celebration calls, like Vernon Davis yesterday for shooting it like a basketball.

How about the call where Sherman got shoved in the facemask to the point where he almost fell over on the same play?

As dirty as Atlanta played all day, no way they deserved the win.

I don't agree with that penalty, by the book I guess its right. But the excessive penalties for celebrating are stupid, that is not taunting which is what the rule is supposed to stop. No Fun League it sure is.

After the calls the Seahacks have gotten over the years I don't feel badly for them at all for anything negative that comes their way.
