Zeke 1st offensive player flagged

[J12B]

For the new helmet rule.

I thought it was a good call. Probably the only correct call in this game.

We've seen some bad officiating the last couple of weeks.

Go back and watch it, Zeke was shoved down from behind. That should have factored in. Imo

I hate the new rules on just about everything

That penalty on Gregory was the stupidest thing I ever seen

Agreed. Should have been a no-call.

How come these rules are only enforced against the Cowboys? Much like the penalty on our long snapper.

Terrible call by the refs. Its a dumb rule.

 

[Cowboys22]

I would agree if he hit the defenders helmet but he hit him in the shoulder pad. Their helmets never touched. That shouldn’t be a penalty.

 

[JayFord]

This rule makes no sense....if i lower my center of gravity my head go down too

Show me someone who can lower their center of gravity and keep their head at the same height as when they are standing

The only time it should be called is when demarco murray rammed his helmet into damien square

Terrible call in that situation. It's one of those things that is NEVER called but they call it on us at the sorst possible time.

Same thing as the snap infraction on us at the end of the first game with the Commanders. It's never called but they decide to call it there.

Didn't we also have a weird call against us in the 2016 playoff loss to the Packers that is never called? Or was it the 2014 game with Romo?

 

[85Cowboy85]

He was pushed down, I don't know how you call that.

 

[Bleedblue1111]

Agreed. Should have been a no-call.

I'm sure that's what they were debating. But still came to the wrong conclusion.

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

Haha, I thought it was a poor call. He was pushed from behind and the defender also lowered his head. Should not have been called.

 

[DCowboyz]

I feel like we're the first to get all those type of calls, whatever call it is. It's like they test throwing flags at us.

I felt like he was pushed forward but by far the worst call was on Gregory
There is no rule against grabbing a QB by the ankles

 

[HungryLion]

One of the worst rules the NFL has ever made.

And the NFL is full of bad rules.

 

[gmoney112]

I mean, I just don't get it. The RB is trying not to get destroyed by huge men that want to rip his head off, he has his arms trying to cover a football, but he can't lower his head?

You can’t hit them low but it’s supposed to be a forceful hit. I’ve seen QBs tackled like that all season with no flag.

Exactly. It’s such a horrible rule. Zeke’s only other option in that situation. Is to let the defender BLAST him in the chest/ribs area.

Not safe either.
