That's what they get for asking full price or more for preseason tickets.

This idiotic Eagles announcer just said that "he would argue that no contact was made with the head"

Was there contact to the head? I only saw the initial hit but if i was told there wasnt, i would believe it.

Pompeani has a play formula. When its a player he knows, he works their college into the call. When he doesn't, he picks a player within the action and quickly looks at his data sheet to see where that player went to college. It's like the first chapter of "how to be an idiotic version of Pierre McGuire"

The league really needs to clamp down on how much the defense gets away with. /s/

Sure, why would you worry about a potential McCoy screen pass on 3rd and long?

This is the 1st preseason game I've seen. I'd gotten the impression that the 1st-team offense was in synch the first couple games, but they look the opposite tonight.
