Did Dak Actually Get A Roughing Flag?

[Beast_from_East]

I am so used to defenders driving Romo into the turf and diving at his knees with no flag ever being thrown that I just assumed that was all legal now, so when Dak got a roughing flag I was in total shock.

Poor Romo be like, "what the hell ref, where have those flags been for me"?

I agree. Tony Romo and Cam Newton seem to never get roughing the passer calls. But nobody can breathe on Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady without getting a six figure fine from the league office.

At least that's what it looks like from my perspective.

 

[Alexander]

He did.

That is one more than Romo was ever able to get.

 

[Dhragon]

I thought the same thing. I was shocked.

 

[Alexander]

One thing I have noticed is that the officials seem friendly with Prescott. Maybe he is just more likeable

Cam Newton has gotten more roughing calls than any QB in the NFL since 2011.

a flag that shouldn't have been thrown, that was not a roughing the passer call

Yes it was. The new rule added this year says you can't tackle the QB below the knees. That was clearly below his knees.

Weak call, but when you dive for a QBs legs while he's in the pocket, it will be called more than not, regardless of the contact.

I was making a short-sighted observation based on the beatings Newton took against Denver in week one. My bad.

C'mon, Romo is the best friend we all want.

Romo isn't?

 

[Alexander]

Romo isn't?

Maybe it is just different. Maybe they are jealous he once bagged Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson and still has a smoking wife to show for it afterwards. Pimps are rarely popular.

 

[Alexander]

On the other hand, I cannot see how on earth Aaron Rodgers is likeable, but he always gets the roughing calls.

 

[Alexander]

Yes it was. The new rule added this year says you can't tackle the QB below the knees. That was clearly below his knees.

Then you look at Hitchens barreling into Cousins' gut, hat first.

 

[Risen Star]

It was a lame call too.

 

[Nova]

It was a makeup call for the bs RTP on Cousins.

 

[Shinaoi]

Was it the first in Cowboys history?

 

[Beast_from_East]

It was a lame call too.

That kinda proves my point.

Romo gets power driven into the turf and the ref just stands there playing pokemon on his IPhone while Dak gets what might be a questionable call.

Same play, same hit, Romo would never get that call in a 1000 years.

I have to say it has never appeared like we have ever had the benefit.

Staubach could be drawn and quartered at midfield, nothing.
