How the fuck do you call that Eagles play a touchdown? The replay clearly showed receiver had the ball slip through his hands and "secured" it with his thighs as he was falling out of bounds.

AJ Green was just throwing punches after the play. Of course, he was punching a helmet.
Green and the DB on the Jags were ejected.

Jags DB got ejected for being punched and choked it seems.

Greens a pretty mild mannered guy; Ramsay must have really got under his skin and that shove just sent him over the edge.

Based solely on the replay, I have no idea why Ramsey was ejected.

Instigator penalty.
That seems overly harsh. If they want to throw a flag for unnecessary roughness, fine. But it's not Ramsey's fault Green acted like a crazy person afterwards.

If a QB gets hit late by a defensive lineman and then subsequently loses his mind and starts throwing punches at the lineman, does that mean the D lineman should be ejected? I don't think so.

Looked to me like Ajayi lost possession of the ball diving into the end zone. Under the ASJ rule, I think that should be a touchback.

Oh, definitely. The shove really shouldn't have caused the ejection. It was cheap, but it's not a headlock or a ridiculous punch to the helmet. I was just making a hockey joke.

Do you know what is one of the best things about the NFL in 2017? It's proof positive how awful a coach that blowhard Jeff Fisher was. He rode Steve McNair for a bunch of years, which hid a lot of his blemishes. But his career was pathetic and he was beloved for some reason.

But now that's all gone. The Rams are legit. Fisher is not.

Ohhhhh gotcha. I don't really follow hockey so the reference went right over my head.

Three plays in eleven seconds? Including a catch and run play that lasted two seconds? That game clock in Philly looked like the old Garden or something.

The fumble by OJ Howard there looked like he just flung the ball forward. It was stripped, it just looked funny. Tampa Bay looks great.

Ron Rivera just had one of the worst challenges I've ever seen. Why throw away a challenge when the call was so right?

No ejections? The league has no standard for enforcing the rules.

Decked Lattimore from behind after instigation by Winston. Then threw a punch. How are there no ejections there?

the Rams and Saints are going to be 6-2. that's a bit crazy to think about

also realized today one of TEN/JAX is going to win their division. and I don't think there will be any super WC teams this year.

Very likable team. Undervalued early on. (So too were the Saints, evidently)

G-Men no-showing this game.

I don't think they reset their circadian clocks

NYC sports radio will be abuzz tomorrow.
Nah, the Giants have been mailing in their season. Today probably doesn't move the needle, they are dead men walking and today is not a surprise.
