The fumble should have never happened

[Aven8]

Everyone is up and arms about this play but the play should have never happened. It should have been a delay of game. It was a bad missed call.

If you want to complain, complain about that.

True.

In general how the NFL handles the clock when it hits zero it inexusably grey / open-ended / uneven. They need to fix it. If the ball hasn't been snapped when the clock hits zero, it should be the penalty.

thats why its worse they missed 2 on the same play.as if they all just decided game was over and stop officiating.

Speaking of delay, how the hell did we get a delay of game when going for two?!? Smh…..

By that point Arizona had already burned most of the clock and all of the Cowboys' time outs. Defense couldn't stop them from getting first downs. Game over.

Or we can complain the Edmunds was out of bounds forcing us to use a timeout for no reason other than the refs missed that as well.

These are the mechanics of delay of game. An extra second is built in.

Well everyone had to hustle down the field after the long touchdown. I think it was a whole two yards or so

I am a big Tech fan and have seen Kingsbury since he played QB at Tech. That play where he had the kicker and Murray out there at the same time was the most genius thing he’s ever done.

It was not a delay of game. Yea, I know you know the rules. Not suggesting you don’t. The clock hit zero , but it was snapped nearly immediately after, it needed to hold there another tick in my opinion.

Id rather complain about the fumble. The delay of game is debatable, the missed fumble seems pretty clear. I mean at least let the play happen and you can always auto review a turnover to make it right. The refs completely killed the play on a poor call.

Screwed twice in the same play. I'll complain about both.

I disagree. It was obvious. The crowd even knew.

I almost think we did that on purpose to see if we could get closer.
