Critical Errors Today

[Sydla]

Lol, the second one wasn't. Wilson tried to decapitate Burrow.

Agreed. The second one looked worse than the first.

Solid game most of the game for the Cowboys with the exception of a couple of notable exceptions:

1. Tank’s offside penalty that gave the Bengals a first down and cost us points.

2. Fumble by Schultz. This game looks very different without that fumble.

3. Diggs’ failure to even attempt to stop a critical third down run. Just watched it happen. Redeemed himself later in the game but that was a critical mistake.

Was that really tank on Punt Return?

Whoever it was, they almost did it on the punt before too. These guys need to THINK! It is 4th and 4, stop trying to be a hero.

Diggs was blocked on that first run...

 

[AyeAtey]

I thought both of those calls were bogus.

Borderline grayish. Happened real fast.

 

[Ken]

The non-action penalties kill me............ the false starts, offsides, etc. Drives me nuts.

In this vein...the Fehoko false start...almost smashed my tv.

WRs should NEVER false start. Even if you don't know the snap count, WATCH THE BALL!

I missed the number. It was Fehoko? LOL. Geezus.

That's being physical, albeit not to smart or necessary.

I streamed on my phone and missed the game thread.

Am I the only one who couldn't figure why the fumble Parsons had possession of was ruled Bengals ball?

Yup, they said 81....

I was livid...saying...you do nothing and then you are going to false start! grrrrrrrrr

 

[john van brocklin]

Two late hits on a sliding QB. We kept giving them first downs.

This team continues to have a real problem with penalties.
Just undisciplined play.
It's really inexcusable.

That was a bad call for sure.

 

[StarLord]

I think the biggest critical mistake was Moore being the 2nd half with his turtle offense with only a 2 score lead. That almost lost us the game. Now the 4th quarter with 10 minutes left? Have yourself a conservative series.

 

[DogFace]

Can probably add in those pitches to Elliott as well.

Yes. That late one was so telegraphed. We and the Bengals all knew it was the play presnap. A fake toss would’ve been nice.

 

[nalam]

Two late hits on a sliding QB. We kept giving them first downs.

Those hits were not late , and he wasn’t sliding. He was runner . One was marginal head contact , that was accidental as the guy was falling. Maybe the Refs took upon themselves to leagues mantra ( protect Non Cowboys QB ) or they wanted Bengals to continue the drives. [ las vegas demand ] … LOL

 

[Creeper]

Two late hits on a sliding QB. We kept giving them first downs.

These were critical but I don't believe either should have been flagged. Sorry, but if the QB becomes a runner and the defender BEGINS (emphasis on BEGINS) his tackle as the QB goes into his slide it should not be a penalty. Defenders cannot read the QBs mind and assume he will slide. I understand the rule, but the rule is stupid. Neither tackles used his helmet or made contact with the QBs helmet. If the QB becomes a runner defenders should be allowed to hit him legally. If QBs don't want to get hurt, then don't run or get down sooner.

 

[coult44]

Entire team is a critical error minus
-Maher kicking beyond 50 yards
-Coop Rush (needs to remain starter)
-Parsons
-WR/QB duo in Rush and Brown
-Donovan Wilson
-Punter Anger
-Pollard
-O-line showed some grit
-D-line was ok. Could’ve been a bit better considering it’s well known how self destructive Burrow’s line is.
-Quinn

wondering which team in the nfl plays a perfect game.

That one pissed me so much, the da.. guys only contribution to the game !

I for one am sick to death of a QB slide. If I ran the NFL I would limit the QB to 1 slide a game. If you don't wanna get hit....DON'T RUN THE BALL. Guys like Lamar,Burrow, Allen and Murray take off running 12-15 times a game. Why do they need to be protected for every single carry? Thats total BS. The offense already has every rule geared to help them. Its brutal for a LB or DE to battle for 60 minutes trying to get off blocks only to get flagged for a tackle on a precious QB.
