Well the refs helped out NE with that hold call when Philly had them stopped.

Always trust Butch Jones to come up with the best calls.

You need an athletic QB to pull that off.

Folks can stop with the whining over the Patriots, they are definitely not getting the calls tonight.

That TD catch by Philly was way less of a catch than the one that Jesse James got screwed out of against the Pats.

1) Agreed on one call

2) Just wait

It's been more than one. I couldn't possibly care less about the NFL but it's pretty clear that the officiating is going in favor of the Eagles tonight.

Here's what is important!

Penalties

Eagles - 6
Patriots - 1

I don't think that favored the Eagles.

If you're talking about the last TD, that was absolutely nothing like the James play. The Eagle clearly caught the pass, had possession, and took several strides as a runner. James took -zero- strides.

The first contested one, although James had 2 feet on the ground and made a "football move" that really looked like Ertz's as well. The rule is holding on through the entire catch and "surviving" the ground...which is where the Eagles got a ruling the Steelers didn't.

Again the Steelers got screwed either way and got stuck with a terrible matchup (the Jags) that the Pats deserved instead Of getting a much easier team (Titans). The rules will get changed because of that crap ruling, but it won't give us that game and possible SB back.
