Terrible call against Claiborne

[George]

Great defense by Mo gets penalty that ends game. Check it out. Please refrain from stating the usual about how poorly we played, etc.

Yeah, that call sucked. Officiating sucked in general.

 

[SHAMSzy]

This was heartbreaking as I wanted to see what the offense would do with 2 minutes in a do or die situation. Since it seems like every possession they are now content to just live to fight another day, would have been interesting to see what they'd draw up in a situation where you must score or you lose.

The officiating was bad, but it's not the reason Dallas lost.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Claiborne had his arm on Donnie Avery's back, but it did not impede Avery's progress towards the ball in any way. I admit the call could have gone either way, but I'm sick of the Cowboys almost never getting the benefit of the doubt.

It was bad call but Mo didnt play well either.

 

[Mookie]

That one and the offensive pass inteference were very rough on us today.

 

[CyberB0b]

I thought it could have went either way. We had a phantom call go our way on the Berry/Witten holding, so it is what it is.

Check out the call Witten got before that, they were both bad calls.. It works both ways and is not the reason why we lost.

Call could have gone either way. Bottom line, if his name is sherman or revis he does not get flagged and would be called great defense by all the analysts.

That's one of the biggest problems with this league. Physical corners such as sherman and revis will get away with more than corners who are not known for their physicality. The rules state you cant touch the receiver after 5 yards. Watch a seahawks game and i'm sure you can count the number of times sherman has his hands all over the receiver after 5 yards on one hand. And i bet he has no pass interference calls against him.

It was just one of those plays that looked like PI and Avery sold it that way and the officials fell for it.

Well, Mo played great on that play. I am watching the Bronco-Giant game and I hear a commentator applaud a go-thru-the-receiver coverage that involved contact by the defender Cromartie. No flag there. "Great coverage".

I hope the league comments on this.

It's impossible to play corner in the nfl these days.

They already have.

All rules will continue to be enforced at random.
Love, NFL

It was flat-out a blown call. He made a great head-up play only to have the refs take it away. That was BS.

 

[Novacek84]

Sorry but that penalty is called all day in the NFL these days. They don't let teams play anymore. I expected a flag there.

Giants getting bs calls, I thought the boys got absolutely cheated. I'm having a hard time being an Nfl fan in Canada right now...seems set up like wrestling. I have no idea how Claiborne gets called on a 2 yard slant on third and 9 at that time of the game. Ridiculous. How Bryant got an offensive pi baffles me too.

 

[LucaBrasi]

I thought Claiborne grabbed him before the ball was thrown. The replay only showed the play from when Smith released the ball so I'm not sure.

Regardless, we got a huge break on the Berry int, so it evened out.

Never thought Claiborne was worth trading up for. Good corner, just not a top 10 type draft pick. Hope I'm wrong, but not looking good

Flat out terrible call. No holding call on Ware earlier in the drive which sprung the RB for 16 yards was also terrible. With that said, Dallas had many opportunities to take this game. Too many third and long situations. This team can't win consistently like that and need to be productive on early downs.

 

[Lazyking]

Bad call, I agree but imo most pi calls are bad. just the way it is. We had our chances.
