I don't think so. But it is a play that could possibly have been called a penalty. Or you could look at it as unintentional as the refs did.

Im glad it was on Wentz and not Wilson.
I dont have a problem with the argument that it should have been a penalty.
But Dirty insinuates that Clowney was hoping to hurt Wentz with malicious intent. Since he has no history of that, what did you see on that play that convinces you he was trying to maliciously hurt Wentz?
IMO he intentionally targeted Wentzes head and lowered his helmet. I would hate to see Wilson go down like that. Everybody would have lost it on that one.Wilson took a shot in the back that should have been called. The league knows the QBs are the lifeblood of most teams but they dont protect them equally.
I hope I am wrong. Its just my opinion.

Clowney is chasing him and trying to make a diving tackle from behind, a type of tackle he made several times this game, including a tackle on McCown from behind. When you are trying to make a tackle like that, it's natural for the player's head to be forward. No dirtiness, and the hit came from an acceleration action that whipped Wentz head into the ground.
If Wentz doesn't want to get hit, he needed to slide and give himself up. End of story.

LOL! Give them a towel to cry in. Besides, McCown did a better job than Wentz.
Methinks Philly got rid of the wrong QB?

This is not college - that was not an ejection
It should have been 15 yard and that is it

Every ballcarrier is supposed to be protected and it doesnt really matter what intentions Clowney had. It was helmet to helmet. Thats supposed to be flag.

You can't argue with Eagles fans they just bring you down to their level.LymonHawk":2qbvoia7 said:CHawk":2qbvoia7 said:Granted I'm in Philly territory but the Eagles fans are really claiming Clowney has always been a dirty player.

Ask your friends how many points Eagles scored in week 12, when Wentz played all game?

Technically true, but it was iffy, especially in real time. If the refs even noticed it, it was probably considered incidental contact. Eagles just needed an excuse for losing. Lame.

I can legitimately, honestly, 100% say I would not have been upset at a player. Wentz had a lot of forward momentum, Clowney hit from behind with very little force; it's the ground that did the damage. That's just bad luck. If it had been Wilson I'd have been upset at the bad luck, not the Eagles player in Clowney's position.Jerhawk":26fsq5dl said:Was the hit dirty? It was borderline. Had that been Wilson that got taken out, we would all be upset.
Is he a dirty player? No
Reaneypark":25lc8a1z said:No. He’s not dirty. I don’t think Clowney tried to kill shot Wentz. That being said, if it was college football, Clowney would have likely been ejected after a replay review for targeting. I feel for the Philly fans. I really do, but I don’t think Clowney tried to knock out Wentz.
