Worst reffed game in history and the Eagles still won


Eat it Peyton Manning. Every horrible call was to your benefit and you still lost. The complete joke of a call on the Austin Collie hit, which EVERYONE in the CBS studio at halftime agreed was a horrible call and were adamant about it. It wasn't incomplete, Collie fumbled it, he was not defenseless and was tackled into Coleman who led with his shoulder, not his helmet. Complete joke. The complete joke of a call when Trent Cole was being held and brushed Manning's helmet with an open palm. Little kids high five with more force. This call kept the game alive for the Colts. Then to solidify the worst ever title, when the Eagles needed just 1 first down to run out the clock, when it was 3rd and 2 they called the Eagles for a false start when the Colts guy obvious flinched to draw the Eagles into it. Remember in the first quarter when they penalized Trent Cole for that exact same thing to give the Colts a first down?

I don't have the time to properly recap this game, but I will reiterate: this was the worst reffed game in history. The Eagles do have to do better in the red zone though, but a surprisingly great job by the defense allowed the Eagles to escape with a 26-24 victory.

Eagles beat 2 teams today because they maintained their focus and their intensity for all 4 quarters for a change. That bodes well going forward.
