Should be a 15 yarder for the hands to the face.

Washington needs some type of points

Being from Atlanta, I will never cheer for a Dan Quinn coached team. But man Jayden is fun to watch.

So the tackle was started before Barkley ever touched the boundary. Great job, NFL.

Good drive to add points


Washington needs a quick stop and score to make it a game again

I just got some Hail Mary PTSD the way Philly gave them ten free yards on the play before the field goal

Re: AFC/NFC Conference Championship Games Thread

The only way Philly can lose this is themselves.

Now like not running the ball or turning it over

Re: AFC/NFC Conference Championship Games Thread

Turnovers and officiating. That's the difference that half. Not sure the Washington defense will stop Philly, so thinking Philly goes down out of the half, scores, and plays with a 2-score lead most of the 2nd half. <br>

Re: AFC/NFC Conference Championship Games Thread

End of the half highlights a major issue the NFL has to fix.

Washington hits Barkley while he is still in bounds and gets flagged for it. Very next possession Ertz catches it along the sideline, the Eagles DB holds up to avoid having the same thing happen to him and that allows Ertz to just blow the guy up.

Offensive players know they can game the system by running near the sideline. They can wait til the very last second to step out and then get hit knowing they will possibly draw a flag. They also know they can run towards the boundary and get some extra free yards when defenders slow down to avoid a potential penalty.

Late hits need to be held to a different standard so that offensive players can stop gaming the system so hard. If a player truly doesn't want to get hit, then they should be made responsible to get down/out of bounds earlier in the play. If you're waiting so late to give yourself up to the point that you get hit within 0.01ms of your foot touching the white, then you should have to deal with it and no flag.

Exactly what Washington needed to start. Eagles IOL health could play a factor here



Washington needs a score here to make it a game again


Good defensive response by Birds.

Re: AFC/NFC Conference Championship Games Thread

Just run the ball if your are Philly. Even with the OL and Barkley injuries you still have a good OL and are facing one of the worst run defenses in the entire league. Leaning on Hurts' throwing ability is how you lose this game.

Re: AFC/NFC Conference Championship Games Thread

Another TD there. Hurts looks healthy

Game set match Washington overachieved

Re: AFC/NFC Conference Championship Games Thread

Up 3 scores, lean on the run game and don't turn the ball over. Defense can't make it easy

Major understatement. This roster had no business even being in playoff contention. Just highlights the incredible impact Daniels had on the team. He carried the team all season.
