I appreciate the NFL officials response that he was so far offsides we couldn't see the ball being snapped. Lol good point.
Again, it's just way too egregious that you can't let it slide.

I mean, he's clearly looking along the line of scrimmage so how on earth did he think he could line up where he was at and it would be okay? His foot is completely across the football.

It changes the tie breaker if the Eagles lose an NFC game and we lose an AFC game. No idea where the chips fall then.
Seattle has a great chance against them next week.

I get why he's upset because those are the type of penalties that you see refs let slide all the time but yet they want to call it at that point in the game and it did affect the outcome.

However, the infraction is so egregious that you HAVE to call it.

The Chiefs have to have enough common sense to understand that.
they were talking about how it normally receives a warning, but that refs are consistently calling it a penalty this season.

I generally like Mahomes and Reid but they should be upset that Toney lined up offsides, not that they called him in a clear penalty.

I liked the guy at halftime tonight who basically was like, they've called it 11 times this year don't act like they never call it. :lol
Righ? They called it on Dallas after the player checked with the ref to make sure he was lined up right.

Hats off to Mike McCarthy. He has really turned this team around. Too bad he was saddled with Moore his first couple of seasons. Sure would have been fun to see where we would have been with him completely in charge from the start.

Hurts is not good enough for the Eagles to feel confident in any game. They had a lot of close wins where the losing team outplayed them (Including the previous game against us). It's catching up to them now.
Maybe I’m just wishing, but it looks like teams are finally figuring out that physicality is something that fucks Hurts up more than anything. He’s been beat up pretty good the last 3-4 weeks and it’s showing in his play.

I still can't believe Cowboys fans actually had him on the hot seat coming into this season.

He's been outstanding for us in so many ways and this is the closest we've resembled a normal football operation since Bill Parcells was coach and it's all credit to him.

Agreed. I was a big McCarthy critic but he’s really turned the jets on with this offense and he’s got Dak playing really well. The fumble return for the TD tonight was a fluke- a game changer for sure, but still a fluke. Dak just trying to do too much there.
