was discussed last night and a video link was provided. I say no, he left with the ball. In the end, doesn't matter but he was not offside in my view.

I agree looks like he left at the same time as the ball and then it even looks like he was a milisecond after the ball was snapped..BAD CALL oh well

Ware is starting to get off the ball much like Dwight Freeney does. He is getting much better at reading the cadence. Very quick first step.

So basically Ware was penalized for his burst and Green Bay got 3 points out of it.

The Packers first 10 points were Cowboy/ ref gifts, if they play a mistake free game it would've been very very ugly for the Packers.

Dallas should kill Green Bay in a playoff rematch to make up for all the points they left on the field this time.

...POST #6 with the looped replay I don't think Ware was offside.

He was definitely moving early, but he did not enter the neutral zone prior to the snap getting away. He was exploding out of his stance early though.

Ware has been getting some amazing jumps on the snap this year. It's almost as if he has begun to really focus on that part of his game and is spending time doing film study on his opposing centers.

What I see is the GB center begins to drive down on his left knee and drops his butt when his starting his snap.

Ware is really seeing the fine details of his position and we Cowboys fans are getting to enjoy his body of work this year.

What's fun about this clip is that you can see just how quick Ware is. And I'm not talking about him timing his jump.

Watch him, and focus solely only him, 4 or 5 times in a row to get a sense of how fast he is. Then watch another player, like one of the DTs. It's like they're moving in mud. Yes, it's in slow-motion, but they're especially slow compared to Ware.

Forget Kearse... Ware is the real freak.

I would have called it too .

In real time it was unreal how quick the jump was.

Ware moved before anyone else did (minus the very little head movement by the center).

Still would have been a bad call by me.
