Epic call. God bless Merrill Reese and Mike Quick.

PS: Merrill is 83 years old.

I’m a Rams fan, and I lost my mind as I suffered a flashback to the 1976 Rams-Vikings playoff game.

Not an Eagles fan, but there is nothing better than watching a great big lineman get a moment in the spotlight where they get a touchdown!

[DoodleBob]

The big guy was clocked at 18+ miles per hour.

I bet most FReepers can’t break 10 mph.

He sounds like a real good kid. Good for him.

[DoodleBob]

Possible ping of interest.

[Deaf Smith]

So Reese was impersonating Joe Rogan with his “Are you kidding me?” line?

[DesertRhino]

It was awesome... and they are so clumsy looking, but you know they aren’t. And I bet trying to take him down.... lord. lol

Good for him.

[cowboyusa]

Was there. It was nuts. Hugged about 50 different people.

[DoodleBob]

The headline is wrong, technically.

“Are you kidding me?” wasn’t said by Reese, but by color analyst Mike Quick.

[DoodleBob]

I wonder…if the Rams kicked a game-losing double doink, would it have been nuttier?

Rams fan here too
Tough to watch! & interesting on what the spread was..just sayin

Allowing the block when the Eagles were up by one is one thing, but too many actors and the luck of the ball bounce needed to get the run back on the block for TD.

The big guy was clocked at 18+ miles per hour.

That would equal an 11-second 100-yard dash. Not likely. 😮

I love to see a fat guy score.

Game winning kick? Hardly, it was only a potential game winning kick? Writers are so lazy these days.

[Secret Agent Man]

I have no dogs in this one, in general a great play.

Love Merrill Reese — legendary play-by-play guy for the Eagles. Perhaps matched only by the Flyers Gene Hart. Many Eagles fans will mute the TV announcers (esp. if it’s Collingsworth, Romo or Aiken) and listen to Reese instead.

[nickcarraway]

Why were they using a spotted ball? It’s supposed to be brown.

[nickcarraway]

You are right. The Rams were already winning. If they had made that kick, the Eagles would have had to score a touchdown not just been able to score a field goal. So, it should have been called the game-sealing kit.
