The Schoonmaker play at the 1

[Mr_437]

I'm just encouraged Schoon caught the ball in that situation, so maybe he starts to become a player in the offense.

 

[blueblood70]

Yep. The non calls that were easy calls made a big difference. Our O-Line had got to get better. The penalties they are making is killing drives. We had a good drive going and was shocking we were actually picking up good yards (I think it was Dowdle that was running) and gets called back for an obvious hold. But at the end the killer was the non call on the catch at the one. That defender got there early and had started tackling him before the ball got there. They miss that but sure caught ours. I think in this game penalties cost us. Dak played really well but was running for his life. Not blaming the refs. It’s mostly self inflicted. O-Line has to get it together. Did we draft a guy that can play RT.. Steele is clearly not healthy.

I'm not sure who can play right tackle but obviously we have a Sean Richards and edoga are both tackles.. I think Steele will eventually come around but something's not right apparently... I just read something just now that said that in the 49ers game Terrence Steele gave up eight pressures he also gave up eight pressures in this game and almost all the sacks on that last drive came from the right side was it him I don't know I didn't go back and really look but that's really telling something needs to get right..... I don't know about the coaches and what they're thinking but it sure looks like they need a lot of help over there

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

That was PI but easier to see on the slow mo. You're not gonna get that one especially after he makes a clean catch.

 

[cityochamps]

Does anyone have a replay of that. The network only showed 1 angle of the play.

This article by Tyler Brown captures that and much more, just asking for accountability nothing more

It was Gilmore and it was a horrible call for two reasons.. One the ball was out of bounds and two Gilmore had upfield position and thus every right to slow down to keep Brown from running to the ball. The ignored hold on Micah and the blow to Dak's head were also huge non-calls as well. There is no defending the refs in this game. I honestly think some of the later make up calls were mostly cosmetic trying to even up the aggregate numbers but they never had any intention of letting the Cowboys win this game.

True, true. The refs were never going to "let the Cowboys win the game", except when they called three penalties on the Eagles in the final 45 seconds to move the Cowboys into easy scoring range. The refs also totally made the Cowboys jump on first and goal from the 6 yard line, take a sack on the next play, throw a wildly errant pass into the end zone on second down rather than spiking it, then take a delay of game penalty and finally throw a "Hail Mary" short of the end zone. Must be some sort of referee mind control system.

 

[CATCH17]

That’s one thing I notice is the timing of the flags. Always extends a drive for opponent or kills our drives. The holding call on TE was ticky tacky. I thought they were allowed to grab inside the shoulders but not outside. To me a hold is a hold but there are rules to it. And then at the end egirls defender was hitting TE before the ball got there. Seemed like an easy call but flag never thrown.

It was ticky tacky, behind the play, and Smith did it for the Eagles on the next drive and nothing was called.

 

[OGSixshooter]

That was clearly PI.

He was down before he caught the ball because the Philly defender was already tackling him.

Refs were awful today.

And neither of the commentators pointed that out.

I'm beginning to believe these conspiracy theories about the NFL playing a major influence in the outcomes of games for sports betting purposes.

I was annoyed by how many times Olsen replayed it - and as a former TE didn't say, "Why is the guy already tackling him before the ball gets there?!?"? I hate "Leave it to Beaver" Olsen.

 

[Kumala808]

big miss was the 4th down play before the last drive. Dak went to Tolbert but watch the film ferg was able to break away from his cover and was wide open down the seam. Possible big gain and first and maybe a td.

 

[Cowboys5217]

Yep. The refs were bad tonight, but they made equally bad calls/non-calls for both teams

Name the equally bad call that the Eagles received. Not a false start or blatant penalty, but a game changing "interpretation" that took points away from Philly while a blatant penalty was happening that everyone ignored.

That's all every nfl fan wants a family called game.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Defenders are 100% allowed to make contact with the receiver and this exact thing happens all the time with no call.

Another example was in the SB where the Pats defender just knocked the Seahawks receiver aside to get to the ball. Even though contact was made, the defender was going towards the ball, refs won't say the defender intentionally hit the receiver just to knock him off his route and disrupt his movement towards to ball....

 

[Westcoasthabsfan]

Totally got tackled before ball arrived....

 

[Cmac]

Experienced receivers are taught on critical or 4th down, extend your route past the schedule mark (at least a yard or two) for certainty. All about execution and "smarts"......an area we lack in big games.

 

[JoeKing]

Two things... Yes, it was clear P.I. and Schoonmaker should have run that route a foot deeper before making his cut outside. Maybe it's nitpicking about the route, but it's definitely not being nitpicky about P.I. That should have been called without a doubt in my opinion.

There is no amount of experience that is going to make a receiver think "the refs are going to let them tackle me with the ball in the air" so I need to adjust accordingly. The play is designed to get a guy open right on the goal line which it did. If the defender isn't executing a perform form tackle from behind he strolls into the end zone or at the very worst catches the ball and reaches it over the plane for the TD before being tackled. The only reason he was going down to even make it a close call was because he was being tackled. Period. I mean if he runs the route into the end zone and the DB just shoves him square in the chest and knocks him down and then Dak throws the ball to the spot and the DB intercepts it what would be the difference? Other than people would be saying "Dak can't make that throw.." Or what if the defender just goes ahead and tackles him IN the end zone with the ball in the air and the refs don't call it? Would that be any better? I am disgusted by all the excuse making on behalf of the refs for the screw job we witnessed yesterday. "Well the Cowboys need to play better.." "Well the receiver needs to run the route different.." "Well the line needs to not hold." "Well the defenders need to not interfere or hold." How about "Well the damn refs need to call the penalties fairly. " If it's roughing the passer when one QB gets hit in the head then it's roughing the passer when Dak gets hit in the head. If it's PI when Gilmore cuts off Brown from a ball that lands OUT OF BOUNDS then it's damn sure PI when a DB tackles Schoon a full second before the ball arrives.

The fact of the matter is no team, no matter how good it is, can overcome an officiating crew hellbent on screwing them. People point out that "well the calls evened out.." The hell they did.. So they gave the Cowboys a couple of calls (all of which were clear and obvious) late in the game after they had pretty much taken away any chance to actually win the game? It makes the numbers look even but no sane person can argue that those charity calls late in the game made up for a dozen flat our screwings that put the Cowboys in the hole to begin with.

Things that make you say hhmmmm…

 

[GMO415]

Well, on the other side Cooks was wide open. Move on.

No, the kid miss judged where he was at and was clearly tackled before the ball crossed the goal line. Just a blatant error on his part, he should have known that he needed to be in the endzone on that 4th down play and he wasn't! For a 2nd rd pick he's not all that................

 

[RonnieT24]

Well, on the other side Cooks was wide open. Move on.

Yeah but the back judge probably already had his hand on his flag to throw a flag for the perfectly executed pick play between he and CeeDee.

"Pass interference, offense, number 88.. 10 yard penalty, repeat 4th down.."

You guys keep acting like this game wasn't rigged.

 

[RonnieT24]

Can you guarantee me that if he runs his route IN the end zone thus bringing him closer to the defender the defender doesn't just tackle him outright preventing him from even having a chance to make the catch and the refs all keep their flags in their pockets?
