We didn’t lose because of officiating. We got dominated on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Let’s not be whiny fans. The Rams earned their victory.

I never said that, BUT!!! Cooper was wide open on the play if you watch the replay. He broke from the corner and Dak saw it. Rams gave our Defense a butt whoopin.. Dallas is way too one dimensional, and we win by forcing the other team to play our game. Rams flipped the script. My point is, we're getting penalties on just weird unused penalties. I addressing this call specifically.

Watch the play a couple times.

If anyone actually thinks Fowler couldn't have easily sacked Prescott, you're mistaken. He held off from the whistle. Now, you can argue the whistle was early, but what difference does it make if Fowler would have sacked Prescott regardless. It may have saved him a couple of bruises.

Just my take.

I completely agree that this team lost by being outplayed by the opponent. That said, that in the grasp call was a bizarre, bad call.

Agree and we were watching it from behind during the game and were completely confused. Even replays at the stadium had Rams fans laughing I just don’t think that lost us the game. I think they thought he was getting swing down and blew whistle as in the grasp

Yeah, I hope the NFL looks at the play in the offseason. I've never seen in the grasp called when the quarterback's own player had him in the grasp.

At least on that one is hands were in his facemask and turned his head. Awful timing for us but technically the correct call. The phantom sack on the other hand.....
