On Cold Pizza this morning, when Hasty and A. Reed talked about the playoff scenerios, they said how Dallas stole that game from Carolina 'cuz the zebras blatantly missed Lucas getting a hand on Cundiff's kick.

Didn't the main NFL officiating office all but confirm that the refs/replay booth DID get that call right? Then why the heck does everyone on ESPN keep repeating this lie above? :confused:

They can't even decide, did Lucas get a hand on it or did Peppers body touch it. What I think was a travsty is how the hell can you review a penalty!!!!!! No one has even talked about!

The rotation nor trajectory of the ball were changed. Ive seen frame by frame these alleged touches and there is ZERO evidence.

I really hate people that think that by repeating something over and over again it will suddenly be true. Unfortunately when the media does it it can actually work.

It was only a penalty if the ball wasn't touched. It looked as if it was touched to me. But I'm glad they didn't think it was conclusive.

Heck, we did get lucky. I'll take a lucky win over a dominating loss any day plus Sunday.

it sure looked to my eyes like it was touched.

my bigger question was who the hell was blocking? That was two guys in on a jailbreak!

Yep...we are focusing on the wrong thing here. 1 kick gets blocked and the other one probably should have been...this is a problem.

Look at the forrest gentlemen not the little trees.

its funny, they act like the Cowboys cheated. The refs may have blown a call, but to say any team is not as good cause the refs influenced the outcome is ludicrous. You play the game and the human element is part of that game. To the point they wont make every play reviewable to keep the human element in the game. Why are some play types reviewable and not others, if you got it wrong, you need to fix it right? But no.

So dont worry bout that. They are gunna dig up stuff and make it up if they cant find anything quasi-legitimate to bag on the boys for. You know your good, or gunna be good when the whole NFL turns on you and starts hating you again. No one cares when your an apathetic, enemic team. But the Cowboys being world Champions, oh that will chap some butts.

It was the correct call. It didn't look blocked when it happened and it didn't look blocked on the replay. It's possible it ticked his pinky or another part of his hand, but not enough to warrant overturning a call that would have ended the game and season.

It didn't look as if it was deflected live or on replay. Note that the rule says "blocked or deflected" not touched. The trajectory of the ball has to be changed. It wasn't. Nuff said.

I'm sure Andre Reed does hate Dallas since we kicked his teams arse twice in the SB.

I agree with other posters who feel the real issue isn't the call, but the pathetic blocking scheme which calls for the OL to basically dive head -first into the turf.

Looking at the reply isolation of Peppers on the play, Allen simply falls forward, head-first into the turf and Peppers just steps over/between him and whoever was imitating Allen on his left.

Not sure what technique DeHaven is employing, but I'm not sure the head-first dive blocking scheme is the most effective.

I posed this question earlier: If Lucas touched it, does that give Peppers a free pass to crash into the kicker, or is it only for Lucas?

Another question: If Lucas was the one who touched it, why was Peppers touching his hand like HE touched it, and Lucas did nothing? Maybe the officials only looked at the ball fly by and graze Peppers jersey and ignored Lucas all together.
