Sometimes I question whether people even understand football. The ref knew the cowboys would decline the offensive pass interference penalty to force the punt. Knowing this he picked up the flag. Hitchens had textbook position and the receiver grabbed his face mask to prevent him from turning around and making the interception

LOL. So assuming all the other garbage in your post is true, it's the refs job to accept or decline penalties on top of it?

The correct call was offsetting penalties, replay 3rd down if they would have called it correctly. The real question is why they picked up a flag when the call they made was blatant.

No crap. I posted about that when the play happened. The point is that it should have been offsetting penalties, replay 3rd and 1. Instead the Lions punted. You don't see the difference there?

That's what Dez was doing on the field. Simply explaining that to the refs.

Not another homer who can't admit the refs gave you a game. It will be talked about for a very long time and the consensus will be that cowboy fans are blind homers. I hope the exact same call goes against you next week and you lose the game. What would you call it then?

Ok, what's your point?

there wouldn't be offsetting PI calls. It would be on one or the other, not both. Only way 3rd is replayed is if it was on offense & the penalty was excepted.

The defender made no attemp to turn around, two fingers on his facemask wouldnt have prevented that.

Had he turned around the refs would have called a face mask on the receiver.

You are obvious trying to convince yourself of a lie. The call was NOT made offensive PI. It was Defensive PI. There was not mention of offensive PI. And as the other poster said, it would have been offsetting. Instead, they picked up the flag. Maybe this explains it...

Man, the Shehawks fans are livid about this play for some reason. It means they get a cakewalk in Carolina.


They finally won a lombardi, you think that would be enough for them to get their panties unbundled.

It was clearly a classic face guarding penalty, defensive pass interference. If you want to argue that that was a face mask before the ball got there, well, then it should have been offsetting penalties as noted. That's not what was called. Instead the refs picked up the flag with no explanation--and looked the other way about the fact that Dez Bryant, an offensive player, had stepped way out on the field to argue with them. Extremely sketchy situation.

Yep, a pic taken in August effected a game in January.

We actually are glad you won. But when its a gift from the officials it destroys people's trust in the league.

Uh, no. You can have both offensive and defensive pass interference on the same play. An example of that is the receiver pushing off on the opponents face mask and then the defender runs him over, kind of like what happened on that play. Offsetting. Down should have been replayed.

 

[jarntt]

Don't for a second think that is how most Cowboy fans think.

Yes he actually did grab Hitchens face mask first and one of the replays caught it if you rewatch it - the one from the end zone. But, it was explained properly that two things must happen for it to be a penalty: no attempt at the ball and contact with the receiver and this is why it WAS pass interference. I said in another thread that I think what happened was that when he put his hands up at the end and at the very end wasn't making contact that one of the refs used this as a reason to incorrectly over turn the call because he didn't see the contact. The weird thing is now everyone is acting like he totally mauled him, which he did not.

Jerry better bring his BIG CHECKBOOK to Greenbay. He will need a lot more money to pay Refs off there...
