So Many Rules because of Dallas Cowboys!

Dont forget Salary Cap was put in place to stop us or we would have reeled in some more hardware.
I can't go there with you because Jerry Jones was one of the strongest proponents of the salary cap. Cause he thought he was just smarter than everybody else and could keep having the best team regardless.
 
1. No hands to the face: Eric Williams
2. No Horse Collar Tackles : Roy Williams
3. No blows to the head: MB3
4. No markings for kick attempts : Maher ???

We seem to be the most heavily policed team in the entire NFL !

Has any other team even come close?

Comments, thoughts or any venting ?
Romo - The FG ball custody rules.
Dez - The UnCatch rule.

The "Oopsie! We screwed the Cowboys" rules.
 
Completion rule modified because of Dez Bryant's catch
I think Michael Irvin started the now banned throat slash gesture
If the ball hits the scoreboard it is a redo
I wouldn't include this because this alone I do not believe caused the rule change. I believe this to be the straw that broke the camel's back. But hey, they fixed it after him, so I guess it can count.

I don’t think the kicking thing is because of the Cowboys. I believe some holders were using a piece of cloth to mark the spot. I still think the guy who told Anger he couldn’t use some grass was wrong….how can pulling a couple blades of grass be called a foreign element. Regardless, it’s not a Maher thing. He kicks the ball. It’s an Anger thing as he used it to help him find the right spot to place the ball. I think Anger was struggling to get the ball down in the right spot.

Yep, that was a stretch on my part
Pure speculation.
But the others I listed are real.
 
Incidental contact - due to Benny Barnes’ feet getting tangled with Lynn Swann’s in SB.
 
Are some members joking about the salary cap being created to "stop" Dallas from winning more championships? That is not true if a few folks are being serious.
 
Zeke is the only RB I’ve seen called for initiating contact with the helmet. Of course they all do it .. but only a Cowboy gets flagged..
No, that rule happened when Murray was playing and spearing people. They were getting fined for it. He was destroying people and the main one doing it

Can search for demarco murray nfl rule rb's spearing

One of the moves that made me like Murray as a runner

I think that was actually U of M Randal Hill that started it.
