The Clowney Wentz narrative is a joke.

incredibly illegal hit. Worst hit maybe since the Steelers Browns game.

but Clowney is a warrior and Wentz is injury prone.

The fact the hawks got a touchdown because Wilson got his jersey dirty on 3rd down and Wentz didn’t get a call is something I’ll never understand.

I went to university in Seattle, they’ve been my second team. I hope they win it all.

f*** the refe

Wentz is a runner and didn’t slide, so that’s not automatic helmet-to-helmet.

you think that was in any way, shape or form a clean hit?

If so we are at an impasse and that’s that

In real time before seeing it in super slo mo, it didn’t look so bad.

I think it’s easy to see on the replay. Nobody else noticed it until then. In real time, that’s easy to miss and this referee called a ton of unnecessary roughness this year.

They cant review targeting in the NFL? I thought I remember them doing it. Couldn't be wrong. it was a dirty hit, and Doug and Mr. Lurie need to be hounding the league about it. Every other fanbase would be pissed off if that hit happened to their quarterbacks. Other quarterbacks get that call. But what done is done.

You sue the league. That’s how this works.

Missed call.

I mean, if Wilson got knocked out of the game, and with no running attack, no chance Geno Smith does anything out there even against a depleted Eagles D.

Well, that is how they are in this problem in the first place. Lawsuits and head injuries. But reviewing it like they do in college could help prevent some of these hits. Especially if they are ejected and out a half. it might go that way.

Wilson would also slide. That’s why can run around and never get hurt.

Most QBs would not have gone head first. What this now the second tine that he has gone head first and suffered a major injury. Hard to feel bad for this guy. Maybe he will learn.

He couldn't slide. Someone had his legs wrapped up. It wasn't like it was 10 yards down field. He was 5 yards behind the line.

Don't think he has ever been concussed before in the pros. He tore his ACL going head first but that was a freak accident. It was a bad call, but it is over. Would be surprised if Clowney wasn't fined.

 

[ArchAngel55]

The refs said he was a runner but he was 5 yards behind the line.

 

[DoyleG]

And he got those numbers mostly from scrambling around to buy himself time, so I don’t really get now being mad at him for doing what had been working for him.

This is why the Sanders drop was really the turning point.

He catches that ball and he has at least a 1st if not a possible TD.

Still need to get the two pointer though. The Eagles just lost too many players.

Didn’t fully realize that was the play. All anyone kept showing was the end. If he’s running though he’s still running.

The refs said he was a runner but he was 5 yards behind the line.

He’s still running though. He’s a runner.

Wentz tried to sidestep the first tackler but the Hawk got enough of him to ultimately put Wentz down by contact without Clowney hitting him.

Well, Philly fans, I told ya’ so.

Don’t give me the Wentz was injured schtick. McCurdy put up a really solid stat line, especially with that offensive line crumbling under any sort of pressure. Carson Wentz isn’t a great quarterback and likely doesn’t put up the performance McCurdy does.

The Eagles got overrated by coming in “hot”, aka beating the Giants twice, the Redskins once and a Dallas team that forgot to even show up. I predicted an easy Seattle win, and honestly, this game was never really in doubt.

Wentz getting hurt did mater. If Wilson got hurt, their 19 yards rushing wouldn't go up with Geno Smith at the helm. But, he got hurt.

For Wentz, seeing the entire play unfold again, he took a deep drop of 7-8 yards, then moved to his right. Nothing was open. I believe upon replay, he managed to roll out right enough to get outside the tackle box. He had McDougal in front of him kind of to his right who had outside containment on him. Wentz has to know then that he is several yards behind the LOS and unlikely to make it back there. Best option at that point is to continue to move to his right and throw the ball out of bounds past the LOS. Because, even if Clowney doesn't hit him, it's a 5-6 yard sack. Avoidable negative play.

What are you on about? We see 10 hits a game that are worse than that. It was completely clean and it would be outrageous and laughable for there to be a flag on such a minor hit.

Wentz is too brittle for the NFL. Simple as that.
