Saw the replay and it wasn't a good angle. Smith looked like he pancaked the guy.

It all worked out thankfully.

that rule has to be changed

If you decline a penalty, it should continue from point of interruption

Why? It is a good rule. You change that and you give the OL a free shot at getting all grabby while the rb runs around and burns time. Sure it comes back but you could burn 10 extra seconds there

Refs were atrocious yet again. What else is new.

More pissed off about the constant no call late hits on Romo.

The late hit early really changed the game. Had they called the penalty, the blocked punt does not happen. Plus when he laid down to avoid getting hit it was because he didn't want to get hit again. And then they hit him on the ground!!

What a bunch of BS.

No replay was shown, and they didn't announce the penalty.

That penalty was 100% pre-meditated to add drama to the game.

Wilson (media darling) ended up throwing a pick to the player who the media basically wrote off (McClain). Gotta love Karma.

Don't forget the illegal pick of Scandrick on the 53-yarder to Kearse that set up their first FG.

The picks in this league drive me crazy. But since it's golden boy Peyton's entire offense the league will look the other way. Guarantee if it was 90% of our playbook it would be banned immediately

never would have come up if the Cowboys had taken a knee , run off 45 seconds and then kicked FG leaving the Seahawks only 25 seconds with no timeouts. Didn't we lose a game a couple years in a similar fashion by giving opposing team an extra 45 seconds vs 15 seconds that should have been left?

The play I didn't get was in the 4th I think it was it looked like we had a pick along the near sideline but they called him out of bounds.. I think it was Justin Durant. He ended up on his back with the ball.

I could have sworn he was down with the ball and then slid out. But they never reviewed or anything. I thought turnovers were automatically reviewed? No chance of challenging that I suppose.
