What the heck was that review before the Maher 60 yard field goal before the half?

[Pass2Run]

Seriously.

The FG had already been made. Then they said they tried to stop it before the snap.

Really, though, this kind of proves the point someone was saying last game. They want to keep these games close, because it's better for ratings.

At that point, we were starting to blowout the Vikings.

After the 1st FG I went and let the dog out and got a snack…came back and they’re re-kicking the FG…like what?

 

[Shneek814]

Did we get out timeout back?

 

[Kevinicus]

If there was an indication right after the play, as you say, then why did the in-game officials allow the first attempt? The NFL just ****ed that up, plain and simple.

Officials buzz down. Ball is immediately snapped after. Refs then inform they were buzzed. Plays happen all the time after the buzz. Why do you think theh allowed it all those others over the years?

 

[Kevinicus]

I doubt you have seen a timeout, about 2-3 minutes of time and then buzzing in to review at the snap!!

Nobody claimed to have seen that.

The point is that the officials had two or three minutes to buzz down and waited until the last second. This wasn’t like most of the previous instances where a team made a questionable play and ran hurry up to try to get a play off and was stopped by the officials. Those idiots had at least two minutes. How many times have you seen that much time elapse before a review is called? I’d venture to say zero.

 

[ak47kaehu]

Complete BS.

1. We completed it.
2. Ran out the play clock.
3. CALLED A FREAKING TIMEOUT.
4. Sat around for the timeout.
5. Lined up and kicked a 60 yarder.

THEN they review the catch!!!!!!???!!!

Bull crap.

Yup and it seems like every weekend the officials find some new way to penalize or screw the cowboys!

Your owner decides to make fun of the referees at a Halloween party. There’s gonna be consequences.

That was not because of Jerry. That was 100% Romo and Nance

 

[gimmesix]

Since the next play had already been executed, and of course a review not legally possible, at the very least once they found that it was a catch the kick should have stood. Imagine if that would have been a game deciding play?

I agree with this, even if it's not the rule. I don't have a problem with the officials trying to get the call right, but unless the whistle was blown before Maher kicked, they should have allowed the kick to stand. Don't take it away after the fact unless the review shows it wasn't a catch.

He praised Dak a LOT.

yeah not sure if that guy is referring to the samw Romo I listened to today

That is not the point I was discussing. I was discussing all the people here going, "but they ran the next play, blah blah blah."

 

[Cowpolk]

If they were reviewing it they should have stopped play they had plenty time to stop play

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

I have never seen anything like it . If not for Maher heroics we could easily have lost those 3 points on the follow up.

 

[Blackrain]

I would say the officiating reached a new low with that play but I don't believe it was on the officiating I think that was the league flexing its muscles.

We aren't back in the 1950s this is 2022

With all the technology they couldn't have gotten word down to the field that they wanted to review the catch before he kicked that 60yrd field goal. Even while having the luxury of us taking a time out to give them even more time.

That was a flat-out statement to Jerry by the league that we can alter the outcome of your game whenever we want to.

Unfortunately this is probably foreshadowing of what is to come later for us. Except the next time something like this happens it will influence the outcome of a close game probably.

And beyond all this what really proves this is unprecedented and totally wrong is that Marcus Rock is not here trying to defend what happened. LOL

Exactly this.
This is what makes this particular sequence of events so egregious.

Anyone who’s trying to side with the officials or play devils advocate here cannot explain away the fact that the officials handled this in such a way that they intentionally iced Maher.

The only time anything remotely close to this happening is like you said- when a team makes a questionable reception under two minutes, everyone knows it, and the offense goes into super hurry up mode to very deliberately try and get the next snap off before the game is halted for an official review. And that is not what happened yesterday. Not even close.

They literally let the play run and even let Maher and Dallas celebrate the FG! The officials knew what they were doing. Amazing that Maher just lined up and drilled it even better the 2nd time.

 

[offlimits]

..yep, that was a wierd one. Then Maher, does it again... lol..

Maher=Money

 

[Beast_from_East]

Last week the Cowboys got screwed in OT with a tick tack hold and a no call on an obvious PI and this week a bogus review AFTER a 60 yard kick is made.

I guess the refs didnt like Jerry's Halloween costume

 

[DogFace]

The delay was extreme, but we've all seen plenty of plays ran over the years where they come back and say they were buzzed before the snap.

Surprised at so many pretending they haven't. Selective memory, I guess?

Yea, but don’t they usually (literally always) blow the play dead as it’s snapped?

 

[DogFace]

If it's just before the snap there is no time. Has happened many times before.

You’ve seen a play run to completion like that and then they say the last play was no good? Like a pass to a receiver, he gets tackled, then they say “we were reviewing the last play and this one didn’t count”

I don’t recall any like that, but maybe.
