If the DB slows down there, with Saquon's ability to stop on a dime and change direction, he could end up on his back watching him run by. I don't see how you can throw the flag there.
Refs will call that every time but looked worse in slow motion. It always puts the defensive player in such a disadvantage that maybe they should give them more leeway (one foot out of bounds is okay) to force the offensive player to make a more decisive decision to go out of bounds.
That bang-band shouldn't be a call if the offensive guy is still running forward. 1/2 of a second on one foot down is not enough lead time to avoid contact.
He's as shifty of a runner as there is. If you're going to legislate aggression out of tackling him, it provides saquon even more advantage. If that's the way they're calling it, get your money's worth. Ditto on tush push. Launch a dude over the top and impact Hurts with intent to stop.
Saquon was on the way out. Stupid penalty. Looked and sounded awful and often that's enough for a flag. Could've gone either way and wouldn't have been upset about the call
Flag should have stayed in the pocket. Was it a correct flag, yes. But - too ticky tacky for it to be called. Especially in game that they've called pretty loose.

If he had just given a shove I don't think he gets called.
All in a as an Eagles fan , I think it was clean enough , shouldn't have been called
We should probably get 1000 complaints and articles about how the refs are fixing this game, we would if that had happened in favor of KC
replay i wouldnt have called it.
