my personal opinion is that some teams are allowed to play a more aggressive style of defense.

Dallas is not one of those teams. Had a cowboy player did that, a flag would of been thrown 90% of the time.

The media is against us too

And don't forget Goodell

Don’t forget the fans. The vast majority of fans despise this franchise and are fine with things like punishing them for not practicing collusion.

Of course they allowed it was against Dallas, but if it was the other way around we would have gotten called for illegal hit.

It was clearly a late and blind side hit on a person no longer in the play - with the intention of doing damage.

If that's the norm, fine, but I don't think that the Cowboys can get away with playing that way, which is probably the issue in the first place. Not a lot of respect.

Yes. The NFL conspires against us. The Reynolds company must love Cowboys fans. Single handedly keeping them in business.

But that shouldn't be the case. That rule was there to protect the players. It should not be nullified because of an INT. The INT should have stayed and the player should be called for a penalty.

Just seems the league turns a blind eye when an issue like this affects the Cowboys.

Yea, you are probably right. I have given up on ever getting calls anymore.

A personal foul is where it occurs.

The launching and leading with the helmet are part of the defenseless receiver PF. I guess since it didn't meet all the criteria it wasn't a PF in the defenseless sense. It could've been unnecessary roughness I guess. The refs seemed to even it out later with some borderline defensive holding calls on SF. As big a homer as I am, I even saw the replay on some of those and was like "Hmmmm. I don't know about that one."

You can hit a defenseless player. You just can't make contact with their head/neck, launch, or lead with the top of your helmet.

A QB in the act of passing is defenseless. They don't flag you for a clean hit on a QB who is throwing (minus a few horrid calls here or there).

your criteria works but those arent the only reasons a flag can be thrown for that type of hit.
