How was that not interference on Turpin (running into punt receiver)?

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

It was an absolutely horrendous call.

This ref group was junior league all night.

All the reffing so far this year has been a total disaster and disappointment for the number one sports organization in the US. The NFL should be ashamed of this. Between all the teams that is almost $143B and this is what you get.

The officials didn’t miss it. You’re missing it. Tolbert who was blocked into Turpin caused him not to be able to field the punt and go down. You clearly don’t understand the rule as it pertains to that play.

Did the defender make contact with Turpin as well as push Tolbert into him?

My argument is that he intentionally USED the cowboys player as an "agent" to cause the interference then also interfered.

yes in fact if KT called a FC then its in the rule book that not allowed!!

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Regardless the charger player has the Dallas player by the darn face mask all day, which is illegal.

The defender made contact with Turpin AFTER Tolbert was blocked into him. Once Tolbert made contact with Turpin, causing him not to be able to field the punt and fall down, it makes no difference that the defender made contact with him afterwards. The defender has to make the initial contact with the returner for it to be interference. It’s very simple to understand but you don’t seem to get it or just simply won’t accept it.

No.

The defender made contact well before he fell down. Though, that doesn’t matter. The defender can’t make contact with the receiver while he’s trying to field the punt. The ball was clearly still in the air as you can see Turpin looking up at it if you pay attention to
details in the pic.

The rule states that clearly and makes no exception.

After the game, NFL senior vice president of officiating Walt Anderson said in a pool report that fair-catch interference didn't apply in this instance since Turpin was contacted by a teammate who was actively blocking an opponent.

The only one pulling things out of their butt is you. Lol I’ve posted links with officials who analyzed the play. There was an official on NFL Network who also explained the play and the rule and they all agreed the only foul was the facemask. You don’t understand how the rule works as it pertains to that play. If you want to act like one of those fans who thinks they know more than those who get paid to officiate games, good luck being taken seriously here.

You're wrong.... however, if you keep going, you'll be LOUD and wrong at the same time. Congrats!

You’re saying the officials are wrong. Lol No one screams casual armchair fan more than you.

Yes, they are wrong. Their own rule book betrays them. Those who read the rulebook know the officials missed it. Senior vice president of officiating Walt Anderson is just brazenly speaking out against the rulebook.

This isn’t made up nonsense. The links I posted weren’t made up nonsense and I haven’t personally attacked anyone. I’m the one being attacked. Any time the official rule is posted as a pertains to a particular play fans start tossing insults.


It wasn't a foul because Tolbert was actively blocking the Chargers' Taylor. That means Tolbert wasn't passive in that situation. However, as many fans noted, Taylor had grabbed Tolbert's facemask, which should have been a penalty and would have negated the Chargers' fumble recovery.

The bolded part of your post is a second part to the rule. I am talking about the first part of the rule that clearly states a kicking team player cannot make contact with a returner. It says it in clear, plain English.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Face mask happened first and foremost. You see DL get called for that all the time that takes away something that just happened good for the D to give the O an automatic first down.

Yep, can't be more clear, but he's one of those guys that ALWAYS sides with the refs against Dallas no matter how comical.

They are clearly wrong according to the rules, your appeal to authority fallacy notwithstanding.

No I get what you’re arguing.

What I’m telling you is that you are ignoring the first part of the rule over and over again.

Just because I don’t agree with your argument doesn’t mean I don’t “get it”. I totally understand what you’re saying. I just think it’s wrong.

You’re saying the league/officials who analyzed the play are ignoring the first part of the rule. You’re saying they got it wrong. What I’ve provided is their explanation.
