The Dallas Cowboys football circus thread

[milohimself]

No, but 8 tackles, 2 swats, a TFL, a pick and the W are.

Fairley and Suh look scary next week.

Fairley and Suh look scary next week.

Yeah. At least this week we will get to hear about Suh targeting Romo's rib or something lame.

 

[milohimself]

That's not how Suh does. He actually grew up a few blocks away from where I live, met him a couple times. He's a big softy off the field, soft-spoken. But he obviously has a mean streak when he puts his helmet on.

I meant the media.

 

[milohimself]

He'd have to open his mouth for it to happen, so...

 

[milohimself]

Also, the media's been fairly favorable to Romo, but they usually are until December.

Not really. They've already been all over him for playing "too rough."

 

[milohimself]

Decided to dig deep, set the Lions D/ST as the starters on my fantasy team, and get on with it. Ugh.

Psh. Such a true fan.

Thats an understatement, it was a slop fest last night

But I guess its better to be lucky than good

 

[milohimself]

Oh, nvm. Just found Chargers D/ST against Miami. Sounds good.

Are you telling me ESPN announcers slob all over the winning QB on MNF?

NO. EFFING. WAI.

Talking about the reactions this morning.

Does Dez have hold of Hall's junk? Here's a look at the same play from a different angle.

 

[TennesseeOrange]

I agree with DeAngelo Hall, terrible call. I don't see a facemask.

It was a facemask but not a nasty one. No one will ever like the official's calls though.

Just like the "defenseless receivers penalty" called on Dallas when Moss had the ball. Defensless receiver. Landry hits Robinson earlier in the game when he's mid air reaching for the ball. Defenseless receiver? Not that time.

Either both or none should have been called.

I'm gonna go with none

Part of the issue was the change of all facemask penalties to being called as the 15 yard intentional variety as opposed to the 5 yard unintentional

Shh. I was hoping to hear more complaining before I reminded them they changed that rule.

This particular case was worthy of a 15 yarder. The 5 yarder was for inadvertent accidental touching of the mask. If you tugged you were getting a 15 yarder. As you can see in the pics with Bryant's head turning, this was the 15 yard variety.

NFL Does Away With Five-Yard Incidental Facemask Penalty

There is no 5 yard variety, and hasn't been since 2008.

I think he's saying that it would have been a 15 yarder even back in 08 when there was still a 5 yard facemask.

Thanks.
