jammed my toe jumping up and down. i wonder how many toe injuries have been caused by jumping up and down to sports teams.

damn, nfl playoff wins are the sweetest because you only need 2 of them to make the big stage where it's anyone's game

Can't believe people were questioning the defense in game, they were amazing and the Falcons really aren't a great team. They should have had 8 losses this year. Anything past this win is gravy for this team.

Doug Pederson tied with Mike Mularkey and Doug Marrone for playoff win % as nfl head coach at 1.000 in the Super Bowl era.

That doesn't negate illegal contact - only thing that does is if the ball is tipped.

Think you may be wrong.

ARTICLE 2. ILLEGAL CONTACT WITHIN FIVE YARDS

Within the five-yard zone, if the player who receives the snap remains in the pocket with the ball, a defender may not make original contact in the back of a receiver, nor may he maintain contact after the receiver has moved beyond a point that is even with the defender.

Note: If a defender contacts a receiver within the five-yard zone of the line of scrimmage, loses contact, and then contacts him again within the five-yard zone, it is a foul for illegal contact.

ARTICLE 3. ILLEGAL CONTACT BEYOND FIVE-YARD ZONE

Beyond the five-yard zone, if the player who receives the snap remains in the pocket with the ball, a defender cannot initiate contact with a receiver who is attempting to evade him. A defender may use his hands or arms only to defend or protect himself against impending contact caused by a receiver.

I don't see anything explicitly permitting illegal contact when the QB is outside of the pocket...

That's not how the rule book works. Where is it a penalty to contact a WR when the QB is outside the pocket in the rule book? This is the illegal contact rule.

Fking love Dug. Didn't let Foles lose it not force him to win it. Next week game plan still wide open

The NFL’s officials, though, got this right. The league’s five-yard jam zone only applies when the quarterback remains inside his pocket

Think that’s defensive holding that’s allowed when the QB is out the pocket

I found an explanation of this here (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/article-1/Football-101-What-Is-Illegal-Contact/5f773a73-4fcd-45d5-aee9-699ff61a2d60) - guess I'm wrong

I posted the Illegal Contact rule there and it specifically says in the pocket.


If the quarterback leaves the pocket area with the ball in his possession, the restrictions on illegal contact and an illegal cut block both end, but the restriction on defensive holding remains in effect.

Graziano, Willie McGinest, Kurt Warner and the NFLN's analystics woman were the only pundits I saw who picked our boys to win.
