After one play a Commander popped a Cowboy in the face in front of Garrett and a ref. You could see Garrett letting the ref have it.


That was just silly. He punched him right in front of Garrett and the ref saw it and did nothing. These refs were one-sided the entire game. There were so many holding calls that weren't called on the Skins. Yet when we pancake their silly little butts to the ground, its called a hold. How lame is that and I wish the Cowboys would do something about it.

Refs blow. I literally saw Beasley hget facemasked twice on the same play yesterday, with no call.


Yeah it happened right in front the refs and they did nothing. Even the Washington defender was expecting a flag.

What part in the game did Beasley get facemasked and it didn't get called? I"m trying to find it for a video.

I saw a still earlier on here of a skin's O linemen holding one of our D linemen.
After that, I re-watched the game again on NFL network looking for it. There is was in the fourth quarter.

As Cousin starts to roll out to his right, one of our D linemen breaks through their line in pursuit.
He is being held/pulled by the top/neck/back area of his jersey. He is then dragged/tackled to the ground from behind.
It was our closest D linemen to Cousin and out in the open very easy to see. Cousin throws and completes his pass.

They should have been called for a hold or better yet - a horse collar tackle :).

They scored later on that drive.

Nice game refs

After watching more closely, that "finger stepping on" incident looks more like a subtle kick at Dez and the ball.

Norman has watched how Dez gets up off the field after a catch plenty of times. He's not kicking at the ball, he's moving in to make sure his foot comes down right on the spot below Dez's head, which is where Dez will place his hand to start to push his way up to a standing position.

Norman is really crafty the way he does it. He times it perfectly, his foot comes down just a split second after Dez places his hand on the field.

I don't see it that way.
You can see his kick hits Dez in the shoulder pad first, then the placement of the foot.
Besides Dez has his hand in a ball/fist any way as he pushes himself up.

Crafty Norman should have known that and had his foot elevated higher to accommodate for the thickness of Dez's fist.

i haven't watched the tv broadcast yet but washington was talking and shoving after whistles all game.

Desean jackson during the tv timeout from the third to the fourth quarter walked along the cowboys sideline to the opposite end of the field for the explicit reason of barking at a couple players, then tyrone crawford got into it with him and Jackson was yelling at garrett and garrett pointed for him to go down to his end of the field.

I have never seen tyrone crawford get mad like that but jackson said something to him and he was acting crazy before that first snap in the fourth quarter.

and of course jackson had to turn to taunt brown on the long touchdown because that is what he does. You know in a loss of course.

anyway, they were taunting all game and this is what we can expect every game going forward, every team is fed up with hearing about Dallas 24x7. The giants are going to be crazy when we get up there in two weeks. ESPN does nothing but talk about Dallas and the whole league is tired of it. So we can expect taunting and pushing and shoving.

I'm pretty sure I saw him jawing at Garrett too.

That stuff has got to be noticed and flagged immediately, if it were Dez doing it to another bench I would say the same thing.

Dirt bag. He's been doing this kinda stuff for awhile. He'll get his. Let's convert Jeff Heath into a WR and let him play w Norman

I could see the referees missing Norman stepping on his hand, but that ankle lift and twist, how the hell did they miss that? It almost started a fight.

The skins have been sneaky dirty for years. The biggest thing I notice they do is take borderline extra shots at the end of plays. It seems like dozens of times a game someone comes in at the end to get in that extra unnecessary shot. They are good at making sure it is not so late as to draw a penalty but many times the player is already down or out of bounds and they get an extra shot in.

Looked to me like he was trying to step on him or rake his cleats across Dez's hand. Either way, he was clearly trying to do something sketchy because the movement was totally unnatural.

BTW, this is yet another sign of how Dez has matured. Imagine how the Dez of 3 years ago reacts to the crap Norman was doing.

After Norman steps on his hand Dez just laughs and tosses the ball to the ref and walks away.

After the ankle grab he has a few words but doesn't do anything - still turns and walks away.

If Norman was hoping to get Dez tossed on a retaliation, it didn't work.

What is Norman thinking on that play? Seemed like he mistakened Dez's leg for a turkey leg.

He's thinking "Do a quick cheap shot, hope the refs miss it, but see Dez retaliating!"

The Giants used to do this all the time. All the officials flag is the retaliation.
