Don't let the Eagles start the play then if there are subs due.

Yeah, I am not arguing with you about what the rule is...I am saying it is a horrible rule.
Eh, to me it makes sense. I like that a receiver needs to possess the ball for more than a millisecond for it to be a completion in that scenario. I loathe how too many rules can only be interpreted in super duper slow mo.

Maybe we should manufacture a reason to delay the game a little more for Andy Reid to decide if he wants to challenge.
It was the Eagles fault the game was held up, they snapped the ball too fast. When you are in substitution mode you have to give the defense a chance to match up, it’s been that way all season.

This stays as a catch IMO

Why did the refs throw a flag on the supposed “didn’t give time to substitute” thing? Did they call 12 on defense then give a do over?

Handed Andy the time for him to challenge. The refs are just glorious.

They also called a delay of game the second the clock hit zero, which never happens. Ever.
I strongly dislike both of these teams and I really don’t have a rooting interest….but this isn’t true. They gave them a couple of seconds before calling the penalty

The refs are supposed to prevent them from snapping the ball. They put the ball in play.

That is patently false. They never call it at 00. It's always an extra beat.

I mean, what are you talking about?
It was very clear. I’m rooting for the Eagles. They literally always call it at 00 by definition. It was obvious they weren’t going to get it off and they didn’t.
