that was a bad call. The Refs basically allowed Denver to come back by effectively rendering a mid field interception moot when they placed the ball on the Eagles 1 yard line. That was basically a 48 yard penalty.

those refs on sunday were HORRIBLE

hit against a defenceless reciever = penalty

I call that a DOWNFIELD BLOCK

Macho Harris!!! Cool dude, but just wasn't a great starting safety

Just brutal...

he was defensless i understand where you guys are coming from but as soon as al harris touched the ball the wide reciever isn't a wide reciever anymore he's a defender who's job now is to tackle the ball carrier and what do you do to protect him? block the defender. it was a great hit and it shouldn't have been called. he was defenseless but rules are rules

@Bass4Prez I'm an Eagles fan but there was absolutely no reason for that hit.

@Bass4Prez I agree with you. Defenseless.
