Game Day ***Cowboys vs Lions post game thread ***

[SDCowboy]

I wonder where all the Romo haters went...

 

[Rack]

Yes he was but hey it went Dallas's way. I'm ok with it. At the very least he was face guarding. That plays a penalty 9 out of 10 times

Face guarding is a college penalty, not an NFL penalty.

 

[Wolf2k5]

I honestly don't agree with that being PI even with the new rules. It looked like DET player had his hands all over Hitchens and even a finger in Facemask at one point. Can't expect a head turn

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Now Cowboys haters are crying how the game is fixed. Considering how many bad calls have screwed the team over for the past few years....ALSO Hitchens had his damned facemask pulled.

How about the Lions punter basically flopping and drawing a roughing call? To me, everything evened out.

 

[BigWillie]

These announcers are gonna talk about that flag, but I don't wanna hear it. Whether you've seen them do that before or not, it was the right call. That was NOT pass interference.

That's probably the most funny part about it. People are whining that the refs made the right call, instead of the wrong call.

 

[mahoneybill]

Does Someone have a .Gif of that Romo celebration? That may be the greatest celebration of all time. lol

Agree. Also following that tackle to the back by the Detroit player on that throw looked to me like he tried to take him out of the game.

Anyone else see it that way ?

Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to:

(a) Contact by a defender who is not playing the ball and such contact restricts the receiver’s opportunity to make the catch.

(b) Playing through the back of a receiver in an attempt to make a play on the ball.

(c) Grabbing a receiver’s arm(s) in such a manner that restricts his opportunity to catch a pass.

(d) Extending an arm across the body of a receiver thus restricting his ability to catch a pass, regardless of whether the defender is playing the ball.

(e) Cutting off the path of a receiver by making contact with him without playing the ball.

(f) Hooking a receiver in an attempt to get to the ball in such a manner that it causes the receiver’s body to turn prior to the ball arriving.

The only one that is even applicable is a) and that's disputable.

The ball hit the defender in the back while he was running after the receiver. He wasn't even face guarding.

There was no way that was pass interference and the flag shouldn't have been thrown in the first place.

87 pulled Hitchens' facemask

I think i woke up my neighbors! (it's pretty late here in Denmark)

[jobberone]

Process guys. i kept saying it all game. You guys can't see what I'm seeing

Uh huh! Don't be sneakin' around here with that.

I wonder where all the Romo haters went...

Waiting for the next chance.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Romo celebration had me going freaking insane in my house. My whole nieborhood im sure heard me and thought I was insane.

The defender appeared to try to take out his lower leg after the ball was gone, but whatever. We finished the fight.

That's probably the most funny part about it. People are whining that the refs made the right call, instead of the wrong call.

Especially since the receiver was pushing off and the ball was uncatchable.

 

[mldardy]

I've never seen Romo this emotional. I'm in heaven.

This guy was a huge relief for him and this franchise. It's like the pressure was so big to win this game and now at least I hope he and this team can relax a little bit going into the next game and it will be on the road. Playing this game at home and no doubt playing the toughest wild card opponent of any team this weekend and all the pressure to win a playoff game is a huge relief.

 

[Wizarus]

No more 1 playoff in 17 years bs. This is truly a different team.

 

[honyock]

Oh Boy do we have to hear everybody complain about the Refs all week?

Yes we do. Me not care.

 

[SultanOfSix]

87 pulled Hitchens' facemask

Well I saw a push off by him but I didn't realize it was a facemask. I will have to watch the replay again if there is one.

Bless you. What a fan!

 

[zrinkill]

Marshal Faulk just said "we are all Cowboys fans"

 

[kimrose]

A family friend I haven't heard from in years just called me and said "How Bout Dem Cowboys!" Whew! We had to win this one. My heart is still pounding.

Mine too, BoyzMamacita! I am dizzy! What a great great feeling, eh????

 

[crashintonickdm]

8-0 on road vs. 8-0 at home.

i cannot wait. this team is just so inspiring. they never quit, and they play hard and hard, and for our QB, thank you.
