PI Michael Gallup endzone

[dueyhemlock]

He tackled him in the endzone without turning his head. It was an obvious penalty.

Go look at the failed 4th down conversion in the end zone, and you'll also see the back of Cook's jersey clearly being held/pulled to impede his route at the back of the endzone. The officiating was awful, which is standard for the product the NFL is putting out these days.

Desired outcome.

Cooks was in the back of the endzone breaking to the right while dragging along the defender (tug n pull), that PI was clearly visible.

The zebras were being very selective.

Major holding /muggings going on early in the game during their big run game.
Help get them in front and then control the come back attempt.

I enjoyed play football early on in life and still enjoy watching it, either live or on TV.
I just see it as it is - controlled entertainment.

Nope. No foul.

Hands were on his chest and he made contact before the ball got there. He by definition impeding the WR from the ball! Much more interference than they called on Bland. Parsons does not get a single hold call all day until they call the one on the Cowboys. Then they have the nerve to say he was not in the endzone when the hold was made. If he was held before Dobbs made it to the endzone then Micah needs a hold called every single play!

The receiver often doesn’t get that call on a severely underthrown ball. I saw it happen a few times yesterday.

When the DB runs through the WR the WR gets the call almost every time.

You hear the announcers all the time talking about the advantage for the WR w/ underthrown balls.
A DB can not run through or impede the WRs attempt to catch the ball unless looking back to make a play on the ball.

Yeah it was a horrible no call. Like I said.. okay you don't want to call PI.. fine.. How the hell do you allow that contact then? At the very least it should have been illegal contact. That one bad call didn't cost us the game though.. But maybe mixed in with 5 or 6 other missed or bad calls and that's what you get.

The safety was a blown call for sure, but the PI was bang- bang. I wish they'd stop calling it at all on underthrown balls.

Wasn't the reason they lost. Losing franchises blame the refs. Winners overcome it.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

That’s DPI 99.9% of the time

If they didn’t call it, I would understand somewhat. But to call it and pick it up?

This. You throw the flag, it's a penalty. Totally ridiculous to pick it up.

Even more true after the ticky tack nonsense they called all game - including the OPI on CD.

 

[Rayman70]

if MG can play like this every week. We have the help we need already in house. Thats a bright spot from yesterday.

 

[Redline360]

Was a terribly underthrown ball however should have still been PI. Defender never turned around and basically tackled him

Pretty much the definition of PI. Some of our penalties were very ticky tacky but yet a clear as day PI doesn't get called

They did miss a big holding penalty on the offense that lead to points for us in the first half so.

 

[MyFairLady]

I feel like it was more that the throw was too late than it was underthrown. Either way fantastic route by the WR. Poor delivery by the QB. Definitely pass interference. I thought the days of puppy guarding in the NFL are long past.

the key to me was that he didn't turn his head around. the ref's just made a judgement call that the ball was there and defender just defended, where he had no idea. if the ball was just 0.1 seconds late, then that's a pass interference.

 

[MarcusRock]

Another call I don't understand is, that the Cards got 12 men and an offside, those should be pre-snap fouls and give us a free play, how the hell an offensive holding would offset those?

Haven't seen the game yet because I'm traveling so can't comment yet (although a 7-page thread complaining with no video makes me suspicious, lol) but 12 men in the huddle is a pre-snap penalty but a guy running on the field late is a 12-men penalty that counts with regular play.

It wasn't so severely under thrown that he couldn't have gotten it had he not been interfered with.

No, he's right. Cards were offsides and I don't actually remember what their other penalty was, but our offensive holding somehow made it offsetting penalties.

Of course he does.

So wait, there was offsides, holding, AND 12-men on the field on the same play?

 

[Runwildboys]

I'm not sure if 12 men was the other penalty, but there were 2 defensive penalties (one being offsides) and one offensive holding.

 

[nalam]

I could understand a no-call, but picking up the flag? Never seen the refs do it on that kind of routine PI call.

Correct, the defender didnt even try to turn his head , he just launched himself at WR, agreed on Dak throwing it a bit short but once flag was called , picking it up makes no sense

 

[Vtwin]

That was essentially the same play as the controversial non-call in the playoff game against the Lions in 14, which went our way.

The ball hit the defender in the back. The defender has a right to the space he occupies. If the ball had been higher, over the defender, it could have been called PI but because it was underthrown right to the space the defender already owned, it was a good non-call. Just like in 2014, when we benefitted.

 

[RonnieT24]

I'm not sure if 12 men was the other penalty, but there were 2 defensive penalties (one being offsides) and one offensive holding.

Yes their defense was running guys on and off the field during that play so they got flagged for it. So technically it was two against them and one against us. I have never liked the ability for two or three penalties on the other team to be offset by one against you. The only exception being deadball fouls I guess.
