Play Clock At Zero. Opinion?

[TwoDeep3]

McVay running to get the time out. Clearly the clock past the end zone was at zero. Not just flipped zero, but was there long before (three running steps before the ref saw him) McVay got there.

So they announcers call in the former ref and he says, "normally they give the benefit of the doubt to the coach, but time out was called too late."

This league favors offense over defense because of ratings. They protect the QB as if they were antique China that would break under a hard stare. Receivers get the benefit - unless they are Dallas receivers - which drives offense.

Defense is the red headed step child of professional football.

I cannot begin to tell you how irritated I am that McVay got the time out.. That the league does not adhere to the rules. If you want to call hand fighting between a DB and WR a penalty in an arbitrary way, I guess the head coach can stroll overt and call a time out after the results of the next play.

That was clearly a penalty and was reversed by the refs for some reason.

Am I alone on this?

 

[Aven8]

Total horse crap. I hate refs. He was like 2 seconds late.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

It should have been a penalty.

Seemed obvious to me he was late. Heck, it was originally called a delay of game. That call set the tone for the rest of the day. Calls seemed one-sided.

 

[CATCH17]

Easy penalty. No question.

Should've been a flag

 

[CowboyStar88]

Should've been a flag.

 

[cowboyec]

the ref sure didnt act like he heard the call for a time out.
that was horse crap.
just like the call on Gallup.

This is what happens when your owner tries to get the commissioner fired

If the Cowboys played a better football game no one would even remember that call.

This team has bigger issues.

 

[Mr_437]

It was bullspit!!!

The clock was on zero for two clicks before he even got close to the ref, but it's the NFL dumb stuff happens.

Doesn't change the fact that it was bull, though.

 

[Tabascocat]

First of a few missed blatant calls of the night

Nope. I wish they was a way to challenge that.

Really put the refs in a spot because the clock clearly was on 0.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

The NFL wants football back in L.A is a major way. They get a ton of calls in their favor and with them opening up their new stadium i didnt think it was gonna change.

 

[DogFace]

The ref from the booth actually said “but that was not close”. Not that It was simply a bad call.

What I don't get is when the NFL has a rule that all coaches have to stay between the 20 yard lines why wasn't McVay flag for a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct when he passed the 20 yard line.
