We have some odd fans.
This and the Dalton non fumble thread.

You would think some of these fans were Colts fans…or just don’t like their own Dallas team more like it.

IF we did get away with a few calls…which we DID NOT….it would be about freaking time.
Reading comprehension not your strength eh?

This thread is about how the announcers were adamant it was OPI when it wasn’t.

My apologies if you are just a kid.

The funny thing is that if the roles were reversed and CB Brown was "bear hugged" by a wr. Collinsworth would have said what a great play by the WR for making sure there was contact to draw the flag. Refs look at if the CB is playing the ball which he wasn't. Turn around and it's not called.

No he did not wrap both arms around him. If so it was well after the PI as they hit the ground,

Nope.

The second hand was very brief, and you could say he was reaching for the ball with it, but he did have him with both hands momentarily.

This is not accurate. Collinsworth said it was OPI...*if anything*. The ref commentator said it was definitely NOT DPI (no comment made about OPI).

no, the defender was into his body, without looking back at the ball...the arm movement came afterwards.

with that Said Brown got called for a similar DPI last year in overtime against Raiders. he was actually less interference on that call than the one last night.

The defender being "into" his body as he was prior to the Brown grabbing him is not DPI.

Hard to turn and play the ball after you're grabbed and pulled (though he does do it on the way to the ground).

The call against Brown last year was a bad call.

It was OPI if it was anything. Dallas was definitely gifted one there.
You guys and those announcers are CRAZY. The ball was under thrown, the WR stopped to try to get the ball, the defender continued running and did not look back. It happened in the Eagles game yesterday with Brown and it was called against us last Thanksgiving against the Raiders 3 or 4 times. I actually think Carr does it on purpose to get bailed out. BUT... that was EASILY DEFENSIVE PI and Brown was the WR in question.

Not sure what planet you're from....but it was definitely and indisputably as well as totally DPI.....Brown was not trying to hug the defender, he appeared more like trying to catch the pass behind his back. ....and then maybe grabbed him trying to break his fall after the pass fell incomplete. The defender just rams into Brown without even looking at the ball. Clear cut DPI.

After the defender ran through him pushing him back away from making the catch…clear DPI….
Or do you just want to not see that part.

Yes. Absolutely.

Brown wrapped not only one, but both hands around the guy. That was prior to the defender putting his hand along Noah's back. And Noah pulled the defender. There is no doubt about that.

Now, I don't know that I'd call OPI on it, but definitely wouldn't call DPI. It'd lean more towards OPI if one had to be called.

The guy was in his chest without looking back for the ball. How do you suggest he try to reach for the ball? Glad the refs saw it as it was. You listening to Chris Collins....that would figure.

youtube has it if you google it. the Defender was already into his body when the ball was in the vicinity and the defender wasn't looking back. at that point it is pass interference already, Brown's hand coming around as his other hand does too, to try and catch the ball is after the fact. the WR was being pushed way before that.
I thought it looked like he was trying to keep from falling down as the DB was pushing on him, but either way, I think PI was the correct call.

Believe that as well, but it was a beautiful opportunity to make that grab and pull by the WR.
Cannot remember now if it was Gallup or Brown, don't think it was CD, but great awareness nonetheless.
Pretty sure it was Brown.
