Tom [Giants fan] Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I don't know how many of you are watching the Eagles/Saints game but the refs just blew a huge call costing Michael Lewis a 102 yard kickoff return. They said he was down by contact but Stevie Wonder just called and asked me how in the world did the refs blow that one??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Kinda reminds me of the Rob Johnson pass that was called a fumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Honestly though in REAL TIME, I could see how that call was missed. 99/100 times you see motion like that, the guy is down, however in THIS CASE he was clearly not down. I am not sure though which official had the best view of it. The Eagles Offense definately looked SHARP though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsanity56 Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 think they were highlighting westbrook/buckhalter to make a point to someone in particular. and ya bad call tom.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I'm just hoping the refs are working out all the kinks too in preseason. Hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleSteve Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 It was a bad call, but it was also quite obvious a whistle blew somewhere as ALL of the Eagles stopped. How about that first NFC East TD of the year? To Freddie Mitchell of all people. Tom, is this Eagle-envy I'm sensing from you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleSteve Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Originally posted by Tom [Giants fan] Eagle envy? Is that where you know your team is going to win the Super Bowl every year but they never do? This is the year, Tom! But don't hold your breath. However, I do wish your Giants the best. I think if they can maintain the level of play they showed on Thursday night against the Patriots, they could be a record setter this year. And Bufford, Freddie Mitchell is the third year first-round bust - same year as Rod Gardner. This is his make or break year, and he's played with confidence so far. Definitely a different outlook so far. Also, Tom, McMullen had a TD. He came down with both feet on the ground and the ball in his possession before the defender knocked it out. But he's a rookie and doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. He has to hang on to that. The Eagles have gotten three QB's in in the first quarter and a half. I think this ones left to the scrubs. They're on their 3rd and 4th strings right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 Blazers, You should hope for the Eagles sake that the Giants do play like they did Thursday night or the Eagles will be sitting in second or third if the Skins solve their DLine situation. I'll admit, McNabb looked very impressive tonight. But to be honest, I don't expect to be awed by the Saints defense. But hey, that is what the preseason is for. Having this much uncertainty is what makes the NFL season that much more fun. Heck, Eagle, Redskin, and Giant fans all believe their teams will win the NFC East. What a kick in the pants it would be if the Cowboys won it. Actually, that would be sickening with Parcells there in his first. year. But I hope even more that the Eagles don't win it again. Here is to a great football season. I can't bring myself to wish the Eagles or their fans luck. I have a deep hatred for the Eagles. What I will do is hope there are no serious injuries to any of our teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleSteve Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Brian Mitchell who? Sorry Tom, the Eagles are a very good football team. The Giants will have their hands full. They should be some epic NFC East games this year. Can't wait! So I guess we can agree that no injuries occur and the teams are able to compete at full strength for the entire season.

It's all in good fun on my part. I certainly respect him as a Giants fan and as a football fan. It's not like he's a Cowboys fan or something.

skinsanity56 Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 the mcmullen drop was not a TD blazers.that DB clearly knocked the ball out before he had control.close though. and, And Bufford, Freddie Mitchell is the third year first-round bust - same year as Rod Gardner. This is his make or break year, and he's played with confidence so far. Definitely a different outlook so far. -------- ouch unfair comparison...

Coach Williams Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 back on the topic.....BAD CALLS.............. though it wasn't very significant scoring wise the big run davis had was rather demoralizing. in the picture of his run you can see a questionable hands to the face.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 On bad calls, how about two blocks in the back in front of refs not called on the Panthers big return... Officiating in that game was not good. Replay, they blew calls too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilmer17 Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Im getting myself prepared for what always happens to us in the regular season. You can count on at least one blown call by an official hurt us in a big way. I thought the league was instructing officials to not blow their whistles as fast? Kind of like the high strike in baseball I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 That play by Michael Lewis was pretty amazing. I can remember watching him light us up at Fed Ex and now I remember why. The good thing about that play was the the refs didn't blow the whistle prematurely. The bad thing is that they called it off b/c the ref farthest from the play said he was down and, I guess that's that. But really, if that's a regular season play and that's the outcome, the referee problem has only gotten worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
