Twitter: Attempted Tripping of Dak before Hail Mary

[RustyBourneHorse]

All the defense had to do was stop them from scoring ANOTHER TD over the top. Is that too much to ask?

Exactly, Dak led them down the drive before this one for a FG to take the lead. All the defence had to do was not let the Seahawks score. Or, at worst, hold them to a FG so we could get a GW FG. But no, our D failed us. And this will keep happening until Jerry addresses the secondary once and for all.

And allowed them the score the worst way you could possibly score, on a deep pass over the top. That's inexcusable.

Thats the kind of call they catch when its against us. Smh

Remember this one?

yes it is totally a penalty..most likely you are thinking inside the tackles box maybe not but that was clearly a purposefully trip and yes its penalty..

Remember when Fredbeard got called for tripping against NE? Tackle box apparently doesn't matter.

To a wide open WR no less. That's why we lost. Inexcusable is right! Especially when you're up, you never let the ball go over the top of you. But, I fear, this is not the last time we will see a situation where we take the lead and our secondary lets in a TD toward the end to lose the game for us. How many times will this happen before Jerry gets on with sorting out our secondary (besides Diggs)?

talking on defenders but yes both TS and Tfred got dinged for that and it was ticky tack

No one else has mentioned this but doesn't the defensive player stick his leg out in an attempt to trip Dak here? Isn't that a penalty? Would've been nice to have one more shot at the end zone.

RJ Ochoa is one of the biggest Dak-stans on twitter.
Heard he drives to Dak's every weekend and washes his cars.
He's in a tight race who the biggest Dak-stan is on Twitter as Connor is a close 2nd....
Next, please.....

Would have been nice, but I am sad the 3 DL go to Dak with 5 OL protecting him.

Also it looks like perfect time to do a hard count, get defense encroachment and get a free play like Aaron Rodgers

Connor Williams

Makes me sick. Im not calling the nfl fixed. I just see us on the wrong side of a lot of crucial penalties. Probably my own bias but often times penalties on the other side are at times or plays that are inconsequential.

Yo he still going to get $40 million Dollars from Jerry and we going to rub it in your face Skip Bayless.

Wasn't there a weird stat that said there had been like 12 tripping calls the entire previous season and the Cowboys had two in the same game.

THAT was a leg sweep - the absolute best way to totally sever an ACL. Should've been a fine after the fact at least. The NFL SUX!

Yes, that sounds about right.

 

[Bigtex67]

Hmm, that's a valid point. Guess we just don't see it often enough to consider that. Good call.

As defined by the 2019 NFL Rulebook: Rule 3, Section 40, “Tripping is the use of the leg or foot to obstruct any opponent (including a runner).” Rule 12, Section 1, Article 8 makes tripping a prohibited act.Nov 25, 2019

Horrible tackling by the defender.. and nobody has ever disputed the fact Dak is strong and hard to bring down. Who cares? That’s definitely not the definition of elite QB..

And notice how he avoids how the throw was definitely not elite, because Dak didn’t even gather himself, panicked like he normally does and kept rolling while not even setting his feet, though he had plenty of time.

Dude doesn’t even know what he’s talking about.

Didn’t see the trip. I wondered why he didn’t take off and run with it. Only one person I saw in front of him 10 yards down field.

 

[Williamsboys]

We would have lost anyway, or did you forget how bad our secondary looks??

 

[glimmerman]

Surprised Dak even threw it instead of running out of bounds especially knowing there was another down left. Heat of the moment I guess.
....with yet another LUCKY Hail Mary Touchdown no less.

Seems like he could have picked up a bunch of yards and got out of bounds..

Tripping the ball carrier isn’t a penalty

Yes, it is.
