Jayron Kearse - What am I supposed to do

[FuzzyLumpkins]

As was said in the broadcast had he kept his feet and run through contact it won't get called. He leaves out the whole launching part conveniently.

 

[Creeper]

I understand his frustration. They say stay away from the head and neck area but then call penalties anyway. The Kearse call was close. The Lawrence call was close too. If the ref threw the flag because Allen was pointing to his facemask then the ref should be fired. refs should never react to the players reactions.

 

[Nova]

It was a touchy call -- they threw the flag because it looked violent.

I felt like Kearse went up to contest the catch, ball went over, and they collided. No helmet to helmet, forearm or shoulder to helmet, etc.

Not saying I disagree, but please stop blaming the officiating. Losers blame refs. Suck it up and win.

Right? It was oh so funny when Mahomes was whining about the refs but his situation is the same as ours now: when you're not a powerhouse team you look for excuses you hope give you the edge you can't muster on the field. Powerhouse teams manufacture their own edge and magically can overcome any calls they suffer.

I don't get the obsession with this type of narrative.Refs put points on the board for Buffalo and took them off the board for Dallas in the first quarter. That influences the entire game.

Your point, here, is suck it up and "win by 14 over 3 quarters in a road game against a good team." That's a ridiculous expectation.

This is nonsense.

Tyler Smith mauled his guy and got called for a garbage penalty.

Go for the legs or waist to avoid any gray area for the refs to flag.

Its very easy to "go for the legs or waist" from your couch or keyboard. Huge men are flying around out there in the pouring rain. They have split seconds to bring the guy down and he did it correctly. The 98 yr old senile ref had no proper view of the play so he called it according to the crowds reaction.

That, and the off target ball had clearly passed so there was no playing the ball which means the hit was unnecessary and is kinda the crux of the "unnecessary" part of the unnecessary roughness penalty.

 

[blueblood70]

correct but we didn't lose the game because of the penalties it may have hurt our momentum and yes the one on tank as well on Josh Allen was nonsense he tried to slow up he put his arm out didn't make an extra shove didn't land on the quarterback didn't hit him above the shoulders and somehow still gets penalized for it both those penalties were bogus but let me just keep it straight we didn't lose the game because of that but we might have lost the chance at some momentum..... I'm trying to remember the third one I think that one was I hit the helmet of someone that may have been real.. But yes two of the three big time 15 yarders where just false they they they weren't real but this is what happens in the NFL it it goes on every week

The responses on here to this post are hilarious. Go for his legs...lol He was already committed to trying to break the play up, he adjusted when the ball was past him. He hit him as lightly as he could with his shoulder to his shoulder.

Soft league and just another in a long line of pathetic calls against the cowboys in this game.

I didn’t even bother. These people are nuts.

Kearse is a shell of the guy that played last year. He shies from contact most of the time, then makes dumb unnecessary contact when he does.

Excellent post. But unfortunately you'll never change the minds of stubborn, thick headed fans.

 

[Pass2Run]

I really like Kearse as a leader and person, but I feel like he's getting a little long in the tooth to be successful in DQ's defensive schemes, especially one that has to play the run from the safety spot.

Oh, well, someone else said it would come down to whoever ran the ball well. I said it would come down to whoever passed better. It looks like I was wrong. That said, we really missed big Hank out there.

Off topic. Start a separate victim thread about it.

Very poor take. He made an excellent pass break up and still was penalized.

This should be a reminder to all of us and you're correct that's what Trayvon diggs was trying to do to kittles last year in the playoffs he was trying to graze him because he was afraid that he hit him too hard or in the wrong spot he would get flags these are what they're making players conscious of this during games and it's making them tentative to actually have a football attitude and tackle...

They can't win if they hit a guy too hard it's called targeting or unnecessary or whatever they were using now defenseless my *** that's the dumbest rule at least the top five because there is no such thing as a defenseless receiver, if he's going that high for the ball and exposing his ribs to try to make a play the defense has a right to keep them from making the play as long as it's legal and that was legal!!

you're hating a guy who's trying to make a big play jumps as high as he possibly can go and we get penalized for hitting the guy to keep him from completing the pass we hit him legal it was 100% legal that is not defenseless the man knows when he went up for the football that the defense is coming for him that is so far from defenseless!!

I get what some of those are like the blind side blocks where a guy may not see a guy and he may not feel him but even those types are ridiculous this is football when you're on the field you're always know you better defend yourself it's part of football it's part of the game...

Nope. It is directly on topic.

You are making stuff up about "creating your own edge" by being a powerhouse. You can't do that if they are going to call ticky-tack holds. Everyone is going to look back on the Dawkins play on Clarke as if it's some sort of tone-setting play, but if they call holding (like they did on Smith), being a powerhouse doesn't really matter much, and points come offf the board.

 

[MarcusRock]

How is it a pass breakup when the ball was past the two of them just before Kearse launched at the receiver? It was unnecessary contact indeed.

Kind of true.

I'm disappointed in Dallas' response, but definitely would have been a different game.

I think this is the right answer.

No, they didn't respond well.
