NFL officials say you’re wrong. That’s the real End of story.
Nope.
Keep telling yourself that. Game log says the cowboys received the kick in the second half.
and lawrence just said the reality. They screwed up and said kick.
the NY office over ruled walt anderson and gave dallas the ball.
OMG. There are 3 options at a coin toss, He picked kick and pointed. That is one of the choices.
end of story. You have to say what you mean.
He won’t make that mistake again
I agree.He shouldn't have made that mistake the first time.
Demarcus Lawrence just admitted it was his fault. He said they were supposed to say DEFER but they said KICK instead. Lawrence thought they wanted the ball first and Dak said KICK.
He just admitted Dallas screwed this up.
There is no reason for the refs to ignore Dak's clarification.
Really the only reason there was controversy.
Obviously the o line didn't give him enough time to make the correct call.
I don't see anything in the rules about getting to clarify one's choice. Dak made one initially.

Sometimes if weather is a factor a team might want to choose a particular goal to defend so they will have the wind in their favor in the fourth quarter. I remember Parcells doing this with the Giants more than once.Dumb question maybe, but why would a team ever want to kickoff for both halves?
Why even have this as an option?
Yep stupid ref in that case-just ridiculous that it was even an issue-unless it’s a weather game no one would choose that.The NFL was right to give the cowboys the ball.
No team would willingly choose to kick the ball to start both halves. Dak’s intent was clear.
Ruined a lot of people.Yea but I am willing to bet when we move passed statutory law and start looking at the case law we will find that most cases see it being ruled this way.
Edit: sorry that law school ruined me lol
