I am actually being serious.

PFT: John Parry explains curious "in the grasp" call

https://cowboyszone.com/threads/pft-john-parry-explains-curious-in-the-grasp-call.427013/

The NFL said that Prescott's forward progress had been stopped. Since no defender had him wrapped up and only La'el Collins had him wrapped up, does that mean Collins gets credit for the sack?
I assume the guy who allegedly touched Dak while Collins had him gets credit for the sack. Talk about padding your stats!
 
That guy should have been flagged for hitting Dak on the helmet.
That's what I was saying at the time too. But no, let's kill the drive, by erroneously calling it a sack, instead of rightfully calling it a hand to the helmet and giving us a first down.
 
Should have been offsetting penalties. The Rams defender hit Dak in the helmet, but it was actually technically illegal for Collins to wrap his arms around Dak to protect him, too.

Regardless, horrific officiating that screwed Dallas.
 
If Autry's indecent hip thrust is enough for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the Colts, the Cowboys are lucky that that Dak/La'el maneuver didn't result in an ejection.
 
This angers me. It shouldn't be called at all, but if you do, call it in the regular season. Don't call it in the fricken playoffs...you kidding me refs!??!
