Not just us criticizing Collinsworth...

Collinsworth, though, was brutal from start to finish. He strongly questioned Doug Pederson's decision to go for it on 4th-and-goal from the 1 with the Eagles up 15-12 and 34 seconds remaining in the half. Going for it was the only call there. You're playing the Patriots and an unstoppable Tom Brady. What does kicking a field goal to go up 6 in the first half do for you? Nothing.

Of course, the Eagles, scored a TD on a crazy play that saw Nick Foles catch a pass and then Collinsworth spent the rest of the game praising the decision. It was not a difficult decision in any way, shape or form.

And, of course, his problems judging Ertz' touchdown also get called out.

Where Collinsworth struggled the most, though, was trying to figure out instant replay. He was adamant Zach Ertz's touchdown was going to be overturned, even though, Ertz became a runner after the catch, took two steps and then clearly broke the plane of the end zone. Before the play went to review, Michaels and Collinsworth admitted they no longer know what a catch is, like the rest of America, and said they would not try to figure out what decision the booth would hand down. However, Collinsworth then went on to insist over and over that Ertz did not make the catch. He was relentless. And wrong.
