Surprised they overturned that. Definitely the right call but I was skeptical given the tendency to stick with the ruling on the field in these PI calls.

Pretty sure Adams is now at 7 for 146 yards, with 10:00 minutes to go in the 1st half.

The Eagles cannot leave Maddox on an island with Adams. It's not a fair fight.

How does Buck not know it is now the 35?

Edit: Leaving up for shame. I’m rotten tonight.

When it's *that* obvious, do we really need to let it play out?

As soon as someone gets hurt on that, they'll change their minds.

So if the offense tackled the "fumble" returner, they'd have to burn a challenge for the painfully obvious not fumble. And if they're out of challenges, they have to remember to let him score a touchdown. all because the league is too fucked up to make obvious calls.

EDIT: NM. i'm an idiot. turnovers auto-reviewed. But not making obvious calls is stupid, regardless.

Aren’t turnovers also reviewed though?

In fairness, just when you thought you had the answers, the NFL changes the questions.

Or something.
It’s really complex. In MLB like once every five years everyone learns about some wrinkle in the rules in a big game like obstruction v. interference. In the NFL stuff like that seems weekly.

Eagles have taken care of business when they have gotten into the red zone; Green Bay has not.

I know it’s a safety thing, but Rodgers has like, a giant helmet and that combined with his sunken, mopey face makes him look like an alien. I chuckle every time they show a close-up on him.

This Eagles defense is a sieve. Green Bay should have 35 points if they didn't shoot themselves in the foot..

I hope they ruled against DPI on the play solely because LaFleur spiked the challenge flag in front of the referee like an asshole.

It’s almost like this Packer D has faced Trubisky, Cousins and Flacco and that made them look good.
