NFL Week 4 Gamethread

[Al Zarilla]

Foles' deep ball is positively Bradyesque today.

Jesus, Brady isn't that bad.

 

[Marciano490]

After that hit, Foles might think his name is Tom.
 
Great catch by Maclin though.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Matty ices the loss for his Falcons with that INT. 

 

[johnmd20]

If that is a catch for Maclin, we'll call it one of the best I've seen.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

What a catch.

 

[johnmd20]

That looks like a bad challenge.

 

[redsoxcentury]

Catch should stand.  Doesn't look like enough to overturn it

 

[hunter05]

Spectacular catch. Holy shit

 

[Fred in Lynn]

They could overturn if they think he was bobbling.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That is really close with Maclin. The ball slides up his shoulder, so you could argue he didn't have possession until it settled and he was out of bounds. Unbelievable effort either way.

 

[canderson]

That catch is the best I've seen in years. Holy shit.

 

[natpastime162]

If that is a catch for Maclin, we'll call it one of the best I've seen.

 
Harbaugh might have burned his last timeout

 

[Super Nomario]

Is that a catch? The ball moves after he hits the ground, but he might have it secured by the time he slides out of bounds. Doesn't look like the ball hit the ground. Probably one that would stand however it was called on the field.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

They're not overturning that.
 
Good work by Philly forcing the quick challenge.

 

[johnmd20]

Harbaugh doesn't even complain. Not a great challenge.

 

[Tony C]

Geez, Cooper has to catch that.

 

[Darnell's Son]

Matty ices the loss for his Falcons with that INT. 

That's cold, bro.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Wow, Matthews got forward progress there? He ran back om his own. Horrible spot.

 

[mauf]

Harbaugh doesn't even complain. Not a great challenge.

You had to challenge that. I've seen catches overturned for less. (I like the call, btw.)

 

[Darnell's Son]

That is really close with Maclin. The ball slides up his shoulder, so you could argue he didn't have possession until it settled and he was out of bounds. Unbelievable effort either way.

Agreed. If they called it incomplete on the field they wouldn't overturn it.

 

[Senator Donut]

Wow, Matthews got forward progress there? He ran back om his own. Horrible spot.

SF should have challenged. Oh, wait.

 

[Tony C]

Really interesting playcall for the Eagles. Let's see what Chip does.

 

[Tony C]

SF should have challenged. Oh, wait.

 
So true. I don't understand the logic of making a bad challenge just...cuz. Should have saved it for the TO or for a play on which you might actually win a challenge.

 

[Darnell's Son]

John Madden: This is a big play!

 

[patinorange]

What the hell was that?

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Ooof. Terrible calls. 

 

[Mystic Merlin]

 
So true. I don't understand the logic of making a bad challenge just...cuz. Should have saved it for the TO or for a play on which you might actually win a challenge.

 
In fairness, Philly was rushing to the line - no way SF had the chance to properly review it.  Harbaugh had to make a split decision based on limited information.  

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Sports radio will be fun n Philly tomorrow.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Great stop by the Niners there.  Their defense has been pretty good all day.  If their special teams aren't horrible, this game isn't close.

 

[PrometheusWakefield]

How do you not run the ball on either third or fourth and 1 at the goal.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Three and out and the Iggles have the ball with good FP.
 
They may even get a safety here and only need 3

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Terrible play calls, and terrible decision making by Foles on 4th.  Better off running or (best yet) throwing it with a little bit of a lead to the TE there.
 
Brutal.

 

[Tony C]

How do you not run the ball on either third or fourth and 1 at the goal.

 
I think you run on both 3 and 1 and 4th and 1.

 

[Manzivino]

At least hit Casey at the 2 and make SF make a tackle.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

The Bridgewater era has arrived. 

 

[Stitch01]

Yes....the entire critique of Caldwell came down to his lack of expression on the sideline. Pretty weird coming from Pats' fans.
 
 

 
God knows...but made no sense. I don't know much about Bortles, but I stick by my call of TB as best QB in the last draft. The Jets coulda had him! But instead they went for the immortal headhunting Calvin Pryor, lol.

Ohhhhh no, that was for sure not the whole critique of Caldwell

 

[johnmd20]

An inspired set of play calls for the Niners there.

 

[Tony C]

speaking of calls..wouldn't you have thrown it if you're the 49ers?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Woof at running there.

 

[canderson]

Philly is winning this game.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Surprised we didn't see a naked boot there or something.
 
Does Harbaugh not trust CK with the ball in his hands at all?

 

[axx]

I'd be tempted to just take a safety. Tempted.

 

[Darnell's Son]

What garbage play calling by the Niners. Weak sauce. I want Philly to win, but god damn I hate shitty play calling.

 

[natpastime162]

Do you punt to Sproles?
 
Guess So

 

[Stitch01]

How is philly not down 28?

 

[johnmd20]

Wow, that is a terrible penalty. LOLZ.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hochuli likes hearing his own voice I think.

 

[patinorange]

that's a penalty?

 

[Darnell's Son]

Gut punch penalty...wow that was weak.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

What a terrible call.
