How does the ref call that down by contact? Furthermore, how does Mcarthy not challenge?

That stupid ref comes in late after we recovered the fumble and rules down by contact. Why not let it play out and let New York decide?

And why doesn't Mike throw the challenge flag there, worst case scenario a timeout is lost.

Could have been a momentum shifter being down just 7-0.

Granted I don't see it changing anything with how everyone played today, but still.

It was frustrating to know that the was a missed turnover.

Terrible job by our Mickey Mouse coach.

blame belongs to those in the booth who saw the replay that should have let McCarthy know...

..play was to fast. It was bang, bang.

I also thought, knee was down.

I dont know if Dallas coaches can review upstairs.

And dont know if they keep MM in real time about replays.

How bout the player that caused the fumble signaling to challenge the play? Wilson isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.
Spot on. Nobody was able to see replay before a play was run. The player should have been letting McCarthy know. Maybe Wilson didn’t know it was fumbled…not sure. I still think with the situation being what it was, McCarthy should have thrown the flag. At worst, he loses a TO and a challenge.

McCarthy doesn't see the slo-mo replays we do. Whoever is up in the booth needs to buzz him about that and they failed.

Bell forced the fumble. Wilson recovered it so he had no clue about if it was a fumble or not. The tell was the Bills running up to call a quick play. It was on MM.

They didn't show the replay fast enough. Honestly if i'm the coach I see how Kincade and Wilson reacted and seeing the Bills rush to snap I would've challenged it especially since its the 1st half. I don't care if I lose a challenge or a timeout in the 1st half.

Not sure if head coaches in the NFL take this approach.

I mean even if he didn't know....I don't get the fear of losing a challenge or a timeout in the 1st half. I get you only have 1 challenge left but I mean how many challenges do these guys even use a game? I can't recall using 2 challenges.

Totally agree that was a game changing turnover. Love MM but he was out to lunch today.
