Pigskin Madness

You can't get much more entertaining than that Dallas-Philly game last night. In a semi-reasonable amount of football watching this weekend, I saw 2 amazing things:
Mike Shanahan and the Broncos going for two at home, down by 1 against a division rival and pulling it off. I hope we see more of this.
DeSean Jackson dropping the ball before crossing the goal line last night on a long pass play. DJ then proceeded to do a victory dance in the end zone while Dallas was throwing the challenge flag. Rookie mistake? C'mon... Hard to imagine Ditka or Landry or Noll not benching this kid but I guess since the Eagles have 2 injured starters it won't happen.

Aren't you letting the Cowboys off the hook for not picking up the fumble and returning it for a TD?

this is what I don't get w/ the replay stuff: if the whistle is blown (TD, play over) and then the call is reversed, there's no way to make up for how the play would've progressed had it been called right in the first place. So then they just make stuff up: Eagles ball at the 1 or whatever it was.

Those were two of the most entertaining games I have seen in a long time (maybe since Bears-Cardinals MNF game).

Awesome ending to Broncos, even though determined by a blown ref call.

And, that was such a stupid and funny blunder by Jackson.
