Can one of you video guys come up with the entire play where Schultz comes up with the ball and this entire conversation is moot?

Did you watch the game? If so you'd know he recovered. So no need to get proof. The reason Colt's didn't challenge the call is because they seen the reply too. Even live you can see he got the ball back.

Oh wow, thanks. Let me go find it and start a thread. Might not be as effective but hey.
I'm a conspiracy theorist and during the game I was thinking we're getting a lot of calls. The Ryan sack by Barr that was a clear blow to the head, Noah Brown got a DPI late in the game. In my conspiracy minded brain I think we're going to get the benefit of the doubt the next 2 games because the league wants us to be a threat to the Eagles. It's great ratings if the Eagles lose a game, which I predict they lose to the Giants, and we enter 12/24/22 with a chance to take the division. The league wants it's "in season NFCCG " between us and the Eagles.

Oh really? It means "end sarcasm" in one of them thar interwebs codes.
I was curious about the etymology of the term, and Googled it. According to the site thewordcounter.com it simply means "sarcasm", not necessarily "end sarcasm" part, just for future reference, not that it matters here. I thought maybe it would explain how that came to be, but no such luck. It also has a couple of other meanings, unrelated to the internet.

The slash thing is what's used on this board, like the /QUOTE thing when you quote someone to note the end of quoting them. I've seen people use it here so I figured most would recognize it. Next time I'll make it a super large font to see if people's emotion still override seeing it. Lol.

Call me crazy, but when I quote someone, I use quotation marks.

Why is anyone replying to a thread where the OP wrote "obvious intentional blown call"?

Collinsworth already nixed that one - sorry - wasn't FORCIBLE contact!

Way too much grey area in NFL rules. just like the sack yesterday on Joe Burrow I think where they called roughing - absolutely ridiculous call on a form tackle.

Disproving that there is a "malicious bias against Dallas" is a strawman, most people already understand that, the larger truth is that the NFL does not always call straight games, they're shaded and managed for many reasons and sometimes the Cowboys are the beneficiaries, many times they are not.

I think he was being sarcastic, but I'm not 100% sure.

You should be honest though Marcus. You /s was not on the validity of the said fumble which you think it was. The sarcasm was to the posters who make claims on how it effetced the outcome of the game. Otherwise you would have not defended your position on the fumble for the next few pages!

If you have Netflix check out the documentary about Tim Donaghy. I often wonder how much of what happened/happens in the NBA happens in the NFL. It's a really good watch.

Maybe you can see inside the heads of refs to know what their motives are but I'm an enigma, bro. From whence I come and whence I go is like vapor. My ways are as puzzling as a nil-nill tie in soccer. You can't trace me.

Since people here like to contend that they just want a fairly called game I'm shocked that this play hasn't been talked about. With Indy already up 3-0 and the Cowboys driving for what would be their first score, Schultz clearly fumbles this ball that the refs, who you all say swallow their whistles, immediately blow a play dead that was a fumble and Indy had pounced on. @Blackrain told me to be vigilant about what the refs might be up to in this game and will you look at this? An egregious benefit to Dallas who were trailing and about to go down 10-0 if this had stood. With the Cowboys as notorious slow starters, pass-happy Moore probably would have abandoned the run and Air (Pick City) Prescott would have been front and center in the offense. This obvious intentional blown call kept that from happening. Matthew Stafford said it best about AT&T Stadium: "Home cookin'!"

/s
changed it, how? we doing this now? how about the CB running into Gallup and he falls down gets an INT, NO CALL?? that not the ref changing the game. GB game Lamb gets mugged , no call..

want to do this every week snap to snap..lmao.. if they don't throw a red flag it wasnt a fumble we move on.

stop trying to downplay our win.. bang bang play but that knee looke down to me..wouldnt have been overturned as its too close.

Cowboyys weekly get jobbed and you cant take gift and move on from it?? why the need to post at all..54-19 no chance..

Here is the photo of the ball out. Schultz barely has one hand on the ball with the Colts player pouncing on it with 2 hands. The Colts player let go once the ref right there immediately blew his whistle vehemently saying Schultz was down. He clearly wasn't. Egregious non-call.
