No mention of the failed challenge?

[jaythecowboy]

That was a very poor challenge call. There was no way it was going to get overturned. Because of that challenge, Garrett didn't have one available when Gallup was literally pulled down on the interception.

 

[TheTruthIsOutThere]

They never have reversed one of those so I don't think it would have mattered.

when Gallup was literally pulled down on the interception.

The only way that call would have been deemed interference upon review is if the players switched team jerseys,,,

we've actually gotten some pretty favorable calls this year imo. Unfortunately just as many poor ones lol

I thought it was a good challenge. That wasn't interference IMO. There is no face guarding in the NFL.. the WR initiated the contact with the DB and the ball hit the DB in the back, not even sure it was a catch-able ball, it was 3 yards short with the WR running the other way.

But either way, you don't hold that flag in case you lose and need it later. There are times you take your shot, if for no other reason to show your player you go their back. And I am not sure that the play you are referring to could even be challenged. I don't remember where the ball was when he was being molested, holding, illegal contact are not review-able and if the ball wasn't in the air, then it's not pass interference.

Garrett got baited into making that challenge by the official. He told Garrett if you don’t like the call then challenge it and Garrett proceeded to slam down the challenge flag. Just another poor coaching decision to add to Garrett’s resume.

Thats the mental toughness he makes shirts about.

He still made contact with the receiver before the ball got there and didn't get his head around. If he got his head around then it would have been clean.

yeah, and getting a roughing the passer call for a light tap on the helmet while running for a first down, qualifies. The play where Quinn jumped into the neutral zone and the O-linesman moved and got a false start qualifies. The play where A-rod tried to snap the ball before we could get situated but the refs declared it blown dead along with the snap that hit cobb and was recovered by GB but blown dead, both qualify.

It ended up being huge.

The one where Garrett slammed down the flag was a good challenge - one the team came out on top of. Garrett just shouldn't have lost his cool, but I think the penalty was chicken sht anyway because over the years we have seen coaches tear into officials many times without a penalty.

It doesn't matter if it was a light tap. If you hit the QB in the head, regardless of how hard, they are going to throw that flag. Rodgers snapped the ball before he was allowed to, it's a dead play. The play where the ball hit Cobb was a false start....none of these are incorrect/favorable calls, just called as the rules dictate.

My point is that things like that can very easily be missed/overlooked and often are when it comes to the Cowboys, and as you're specifically saying when going against GB. And no getting a slight tap on the helmet is not going to be called all times, and we've seen Dak take far worse with no flag.

On an even larger scale, I'd like to know just how many of these blown calls involved the same referee that Garrett was having issues with all game - Scott Edwards. The issues with Garrett started early in the game, well before that incident on Anthony Brown's pass interference call. Edwards actually stopped the game earlier to have Garrett move back to the 20-yard line. Anyone remember the last time they've seen that? And he was clearly antagonistic and unprofessional with his "throw the flag" remark to Garrett. You're a referee tough guy!

And things escalated from that point, largely due to Edward's own actions, behavior, and missed calls. I think he should be getting thoroughly examined by the league for his performance on Sunday.

He wasn't flagged for loosing his cool. Since he lost the 1st challenge he gets a penalty here, its a dumb rule.

You're right this stupid decision is going under the radar.

Admittedly the roughing the passer call was pretty questionable, although I suppose it technically fits with the definition in the rulebook, but the calls with Quinn and Frederick were clearly correct. Quinn did not cause that OT to move. Quinn wasn't directly lined up he the OT, the OT stayed set even as Quin moved back, and then after a delay the OT decided to move in an awkward attempt to get a call. The call on the snap that hit Cobb was also the right call. it wasn't that the O-Linemen failed to get set, it's that the ball didn't snap before the O-Line moved. It was as if Frederick wasn't going on the same snap count as the rest of the team.

Toy or Buck or someone said he had no choice but to challenge it at the time. Of course, it was very unlikely to succeed.
