Has the league admitted screwing up by not reviewing Dak's TD?

[Diehardblues]

I already explained that. They saw the replays that were shown on TV and none of them showed the football. You couldn’t see the ball in any of them. If you can’t see the ball there’s no way to dispute the no call and call it a TD. They don’t care where the body is they have to see the ball. If some of you want to spend 15+ pages arguing this have fun! Lol

The mistake is the referee made probably the wrong call. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough visual evidence of the ball , which is usually the determining factor , to overturn the questionable call on a TD. And why so much importance is always placed on the call.

The Cowboys had an opportunity to rectify the call on 4th down and failed. And the lessen might be here not to have a QB sneak under the pile.

In the old days officials might wait to make the call after the pile is disbursed which would have been the appropriate decision here . There wouldn’t have been enough visual evidence to overturn a TD call there.

The ball could've gotten dislodged yet he had possession when they pulled the bodies off? Cmon man, yall are reaching to justify bs.

Of course he had possession of the ball when they pulled the bodies off the pile, the problem was the ball wasn’t over the goal line or they would have signaled touchdown. We see it all the time where they pull bodies off a pile then signal touchdown if the ball has crossed the plane of the goal line. Not even Cowboys players were signaling touchdown after they pulled the bodies off the pile.

They never overturned the call on the field. They never called it a TD. You’re thinking of the other play on the goal line where Dak jumped over the top and fumbled. They initially called that a TD and overturned it.

Again, you see his entire body go into the endzone BEFORE his knees come anywhere near the ground. Then (in the endzone) they pull off the bodies and it's clear he maintained possession. It is physically impossible for the ball not to have traveled with him, yet he retained possession.

Again, you can’t see the ball and if the ball was in the endzone when they unpiled the bodies they would have signaled touchdown. Cowboys players would have also signaled touchdown. Why can’t you get that? They never signal a touchdown unless they see the ball break the plane or is in the endzone when they unpile bodies. They don’t assume the ball went in the endzone, they have to actually see the ball break the plane of the goal line or is in the end zone. Can’t make it any more clear than that. Not going to debate it any further.

I’m saying if they had called it a TD.

Are you seriously saying they couldn't see the ball once everyone was out of the way? I don't have access to the tape, but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the ball well over the line when they pulled the pile apart.

It should have been called a TD. I thought a ref called it. If they did then they would not have evidence to over turn it. But if they not call it then they would not have the evidence to change it. Perfect screw job by not calling it,

Good God, he was across the line by a large margin. They screwed it up.

Don't debate then. The qb went into the endzone before going down and maintained possession of the ball after cleaning up the pile.

Because they couldn't see the ball initially is a ridiculous argument. He didn't magically break the laws of physics and somehow leave the ball behind, and then teleport it to his possession after going down. You're argument is ridiculous.

There’s pictures of him laying in the end zone after the pile was peeled away. His waste or more was in the end zone.

So no. They would’ve have and didn’t signal touchdown when that did happen.

As most of those tweets say “it was clearly a td”
Not really close and odd they “missed” that.

"But he could have been carrying it with his feet!"

Yes. Someone was saying one ref signaled td. He was quieted. I guess. So no review.

Pretty weird “incompetence”.

 

[JoeKing]

"The league" is never going to apologize for anything unless they have to. No TD ruled, no review required.

Was that the play MM challenged. There was no clear view and couldn’t be reversed if it was called a TD and was weird the refs that called it was silenced. Should have lined up McGovern as FB and rammed Elliot in.

Was the perfect screw job.

How could the ball have not been over when they unpiled...his waste was at the goal line.

If it’s a ridiculous argument they would’ve reviewed it. Can’t believe some of you are still making such a big deal out of it when we won the game. Thank goodness the bye week is over. Lol

They don’t care where his waist is, the ball has to be in the endzone. If the ball was in the endzone they would’ve signaled touchdown after unpiling the bodies.
