Chris Carter is Defending Hitchens!

It could have been offsetting penalties.

The worst part of the whole situation was the ref making the announcement before consulting the whole crew. Had they discussed it and picked up the flag before announcing the call, it would have been much better. Cowboy haters would still ***** about it though. Chris Carter is the only national media person who I have seen that called it like it was. It is crazy how nobody in the media hardly mentions the blatant facemask. Kudos to Carter for pointing out the truth.

The facemask is irrelevant to whether it was PI or not. You guys are using that to distract from the actual call on the field.

You cannot grab someone's jersey to impede their progress. You cannot make clear substantial contact with the receiver before the ball arrives with your back to the football.

Hitchens did both. It was a penalty.

Shocking coming from you. Smh!

You must be so disappointed.

Of course he's disappointed.

Best troll of all-time?

Well said, no doubt about it.

It goes back to the rule book.

Its okay to admit that the Cowboys don't always get screwed by refs. Sometimes they get gifts.

I like gifts...

Geez, this guy just can't admit when he's wrong. Chris Carter made a very intelligent, well-reasoned argument looking at both sides. This Risen guy looks at it only one way and in an anti-Cowboy way at that. Hey dude, no one will think less of you if you just admit that your off on this one.

I think more people need to watch this video of the facemask that say Hitchens wasn't looking back.

Great video clearly showing that Hitchens was trying to swat away Pettigrew's arm and hand that was holding onto his facemask. After the swat, HItchens' hand landed on Pettigrew's shoulder. Ultimately, the correct call!!!!
