Bending the Rules

Kevin Curtis was mauled by Rodderick Hood to end the Eagles season. Coming out of the break Kev's body is flailing while he is falling down, he awkwardly lunges away from Hood's hands which are all over his back trying to drag him to the ground and as he goes to reach for the ball he can't even ...

  That wasn't the only PI that they missed. There was one on Avant but oh well, we lost, time to look forward to next season.

  Thanks Chris you are right on with your assesment. The hard pill to swallow is that this and a couple of other calls may have changed the outcome of the game. But what is done is done and the Cardinals played well enough to win despite the missed call. I just appreciate the fcat that a player fromanother team can make the honest assesment.

  Here is my conspiracy theory. The refs were in Vegas the night before and put money on Arizona and made out like bandits in the Eagles loss. Think about it twice a ref was infront of a play where pass interference took place but no call. But as soon as Asnate Samuel checked Fitzgerald at the line bleeep 15yd pentalty.....makes you wonder if the NFL officials are in on some of the wacky things that happen in this game.

  It was obvious during the play and even more so when watching the replay. But....what can you do?? It's a shame that even before the 2 minute warning you can't challenge a non-call.

  ya know what.. all i have to say is donaghy. i am not saying that these refs were cheating and betting on games. but thats what it looks like. i am not going to say that call lost us the game, because it didnt. we lost fair and square, but whos to say that we dont continue down the field and win the game with a td. i think its unfair that we get tackled and they dont call it. i mean if that happened to any other team, their fans would be just as upset as us EAGLES fans are. i also think that they missed an ever bigger PI against Avant. he was tackled before the ball arrived to him, and there was no flag. all we have to do is touch ftiz and 4 flags go flying. i think the refs should be fined and have to held accountable for their actions. Arizona won and thats all fine and good, I dont feel the game should be replayed or anything dumb like that. but that ref should be hit with snowballs in the ears for 15 minutes to make up for the 15 yard penalty that should have been. the rules were changed to help the WR's, but all i could see in this game was calls made or not made to help the Cards. its just sad that you have to worry about refs cheating and betting on games nowadays. but as i said before i do not think we lost cause of the calls, but they also could ahve stopped us from going down and scoring..LOVE THE BIRDS (EAGLES)... always will.. go donovan.we want u back boi.... Refs need to get fined and have to deal with the calls they make and don't make... GOODELL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

  The call was too easy to make...I refuse to believe anything other than the Refs were DIRTY!!!

  Yeah they missed the MOST important call of the day, I don't want a trip to the SB just because the refs suck(again), but I hate losing on that note. I'd rather it not have been interference so I didn't have to worry about the 'what if factor'.
  
  I think it is time for the league to explore professional referees, not just part time guys. The amount of missed calls seems to be on the rise.

    I agree. That's because they keep changing the effing rules so much these refs don't know what is what anymore.

  i am an eagles fan i dont like the call but the kickoff by the cards should have been their ball so a bad call for each team

  difference is the missed call for PI cost us the game-winning drive.

  I agree. The refs have been WAY too lax on pass interference calls. This is getting redicoulous. He basically pulled the guy down and he had to try and catch the ball while falling. Complete cheating
