The ref said taunting on number 99 and we don’t have a 99 I don’t think. The commentator said players came on the field. Was there any clarification?

I’m not claim “conspiracy”. I just wish the refs would not take the game in their hands at crucial moments unless the penalties are directly game changing penalties.

EDIT: Sorry upon further review Woods is 99. So what did he do that warranted a 15 yd penalty that could have easily cost us the game?

I said in the EDIT I know it was Woods and they called taunting but WHAT did he do? It wasn’t on tv that I saw.

Did he just run on the field? Did he throw the ball to a defender ? Did he say “Collin’s Mama is so fat her blood type is Ragu?” Just wondering if anyone actually knows.

I think the officials have to use better sense than that. In the heat of the moment on such big play, emotions will spill over...

But these calls are what lead some people to speculate that the NFL likes to control the game, even to the point of giving a team like the Gianst great starting field position. Who knows.

That's twice a post-TD celebration cost us huge yards. The first time (Zeke-Dak kettle) I believe the skins scored a TD after a big return, and yesterday it almost cost us the game. Yes, it's stupid that the refs throw flags on celebrations that seem pretty tame, but players that draw these flags are just as stupid for doing something they know will get them penalized. I pray everyone on this team has learned this going into the playoffs.

I don’t like kicking off after a 15 yard penalty. Send your punter out. He should be able to get a fair catch close to the other team’s 30-35 yard line. (Or is a free kick against the rules? If so, squib it).

It was an example of quarterbacks’ teammates selfish and/or stupid mistake committed late-in-a-game, which is minimized or forgotten by zealous quarterback critics, who automatically assign the loss to their favorite scapegoat. Luckily, the long-running tunnelvision nonsense was not rehashed this time around.

I think the possibility of the punter skanking the punt due to pressure, nerves or getting his punt blocked makes coaches believe kicking off is the safer option.

I didn’t see anything egregious, especially when teams can stage small plays in formation after scoring, but Dallas can’t be doing things that could even potentially draw a flag like that at that moment in the game.

I think the officials got it right. There plenty of time left. You can't celebrate like you just won the Super Bowl.

No chance of a block.

Very unlikely a punter gets anywhere close to the distance of a KO unless there is very little hangtime which would allow a better return.

Thread hijack alert.
