Eagles WR: Cowboys called out our plays pre-snap

TBR · Sep 22, 2015

Eagles wide receiver Josh Huff said there were times when he lined up near the Cowboys’ sideline and could hear Cowboys players calling out what play was coming.

Where's Ted Wells to investigate?

With the game film, coaches film and parabolic tech they can absolutely match calls with plays...which I believe is cheating.

I doubt he meant they know the name of the plays. But by watching a lot of film, I'm sure you can learn tendencies and what formations are pass and run plays. Learn what plays Huff is usually in for (doubt he in for run plays). Nothing to see here, if someone accused us of this, I'd be annoyed. Why can't anyone take defeat with dignity anymore.

Cowboys are 1337 haxor

Sounds like the Cowboys prepared well. This is a complete nonstory, but I hope it gets a bunch of visibility only to help people realize that the same "accusations" made against the Pats aren't a smoking gun. It's butthurt whining by teams that don't gameplan well enough.

Of course, it's from watching film, preparing well, noticing tendencies, etc.

It's just frustrating seeing stuff like this knowing it would be all over ESPN and potentially CNN if it were the Patriots.

When your child misbehaves, blame an illness. When you fail, blame the teacher. When you get dumped, blame the gf/bf. When you lose, say they were cheating.

Welcome to 2015 everyone ! It's someone else's fault !

Probably the Cowboys filmed the Eagles walkthrough.

Seriously though, the other team knowing the Eagles plays was NOT the problem.

The problem was the Eagles didn't know their own plays.

Silver Blue&Red · Sep 22, 2015

Awww. The poor Eagles..... Finding other teams signals is and has always been part of the game. Grow a set and/or STOP them from getting them. Geeez, sports have become so PC and a bunch of hypocritical, whiners.Does it ever F'n end. ?

They must have taped their walkthrough, intercepted their audio and stolen their play sheets out of their locker room. Everyone knows you can't figure it out with game film study.

Stop holding up the stupid play on cards..sooner or later teams will figure it out

This is all about nothing. Everybody knows New England is the only team that tries to gain a competitive advantage. They were pumping in crowd noise at Ralph Wilson just this past Sunday.

It didn't take much watching to see an obvious pattern to the play calls. They called like 4 plays over and over. It seemed like every Murray run was a sweep. Kelly will be back in college pretending he's a genius soon enough.

Exactly. Players and coaches prepare and watch film, which often leads to knowing what is coming or tipping off their teammates when recognized. We see it every week.

Unfortunately, the situation is ironic, since most announcers and mediots won't just point that out--particular when the NEP are involved.

Every time I see eagles wr I think of how much money Riley Cooper is getting

pheenix11 · Sep 23, 2015

The least the Cowboys could have done is shared the play call with the Eagles because it was pretty clear they had no idea what it was.

It's real-time spying. And he didn't tell them to quiet down? Yeah, he cheated. Should we write to Roger?

Vague cheating accusations?

Oh I guess it's just another Tuesday in the NFL these days. Thank God Goodell has come along to give every ****ing loser a crutch to explain why they didn't actually lose it's just the other guys broke the rules.

I still want to know what "S8" means on Kelly's play call sheet. Drives me nuts.

When did the NFL become an elementary school girls soccer league? Seems like none of the players can simply accept when they lose a game anymore.
