Well there's that, and there's also the fact that the Cowboys are mediocre and the Eagles are one of the five worst teams in football. So I can't figure out how NBC thinks this is an appealing game. There are at least five games being played on Sunday afternoon that are preferable (Steelers/Ravens again, Seahawks/Bears, Patriots/Dolphins, Bucs/Broncos, Vikings/Packers). Instead we get a 3-8 team missing its top QB, top RB, and top WR, against a 5-6 team. In past seasons, this would be a decent draw, but this season even many of the fans of those teams have quit.
Bears go for it on 4th and a half a yard at about the Seattle 15. They are stopped. Glad to see a coach make the correct decision for once, though.
Adrian Peterson is having a ridiculously amazing year. It's a minute into the second half and he already has 180 yards rushing. There's no way anyone but Peyton Manning could possibly win Comeback Player of the year, except Peterson probably deserves it even more.
AP and Peyton are both neck and neck for MVP and comeback player of the year. What are the odds of THAT?
the catch. they ruled the nose of the ball touched the ground before Edwards secured it. Crazy play though. Pretty good throw by Wilson considering the position he threw from. and as I'm posting that, Cutler throws a lollipop popup toward the sideline and somehow Marshall catches it. then cutler throws a TD to forte, he's ruled short, and one of the FOX clowns is busy praising the call, even though he wasn't touched until after he rolled into the endzone. I swear, some of these guys do not know the rules. They think as soon as you go down, you can't advance (like college). Lovie challenges and it is overturned. Very bad call on the field and shame on the FOX announcers.
I was just thinking about that last night, that I hadn't seen a QB miss a pitch recently. Kaepernick does, and the Rams get a TD out of it
And the Luck legend continues, a smart dump-off to Avery with a wide-open field in front of him and he runs it in.
