Whatever makes you feel better, honey.
Stand down honey.

Yes dearStand down honey.
Agreed. There have been plenty of plays in the league where, somebody pulls at the ball, & it never leaves the ball carrier's possession. Once he touched the ground, the play was dead. I continue to believe, it was NOT a fumble. More troubling for me is, the refs couldn't see it. Seems to me, the ruling on the field should have been, no fumble. It would then have been up to the replay to determine clear evidence of a fumble, to overturn it.There’s no doubt Zeke was in the process of losing the ball, but having someone yank on the ball and move your arm doesn’t equate to an actual fumble (i.e. losing possession/control of the football).
However, at the point he actually lost the ball was after his elbow already had hit the turf. Therefore, the play should have been over.
Dallas’ ball.
There is a lot of things to blame Zeke for...not this...he did NOT fumble the ball. The refs know that there is ZERO chance of any repercussion from the league office for blowing a call against Dallas.....they probably feel that it will actually curry favor with them....The Goon sure as S doesn't care.

I think we got hosed, & it was a game changing play.
Ain't the end of the season. I'm not one who thought we weren't going to lose multiple games this year but, that call sucked. It wasn't the only shady, call/no call in the game.
