John Fassel breaks down "unfortunate" sequence after blocked punt

[Staubacher]

The second it was blocked. It became a live football. It was already touched by the Cowboys. At this point, you’re just trying to prevent a first down. Or trying to pick it up to score.

No as usual you're wrong.

Jesse Holley made a good point in the radio show not taking blame off of 27 but that Vigil in the way he went to block the punt, if he blocks it a different way with his hands, it possibly rolls backwards instead of forwards

Then, we could have really Leon Letted the ball, trying to slide on top of it only to have it squirt out and recovered by the other team. Could have given Chase a chance to surpass 200 yards receiving.

As usual, LMAO. When I’m wrong, I admit it. If you only had the same class.

That is the most important part for me. Oruwariye didn't know the kick was blocked. And I totally get that he saw the ball and naturally thought he needed to go get it.

For me, that single play perfectly describes the Cowboys season. If it could go wrong it has. We all thought the off season didn't go well and it's just carried over to the regular season.

McCarthy would have lost the game on poor clock management anyway.

In my opinion, there is a rule change in need of coming. A blocked punt shouldn't result in the punting team keeping the ball.

No need to change the rules that have been in place forever. Just don't have stupid players on your team. All he had to do was stay the hell away from the ball.

That shouldn't matter. Change the rule!
