Edmonds fumbled but ball went out of bounds

[JCSunsfan]

The knee did NOT hit the ground, though. It looked like it did, but not when we got the closeup.

Sure looked like it did here. Before the foot blocks the view his knee is about an inch off the ground, and then the leg goes down further. I do not believe that play would be overturned on review. :56 mark.

Why not baseball slide? Ertz made a similar "awkward" fall down in bounds a play or two before that. I thought he may have injured himself on that play.

Yeah they can give themselves up by doing that it's probably the safer way to do it

Arent the rules on that different for QB's than for everyone else?

yes but receivers can do it too it's in there so they can't go down late in a game and the defense just refuses to touch them to keep the clock running. It's called surrendering or something like that.

Yeah. That last, game winning drive, was a thing of beauty. The 2 point try early in the game was so Kliff though. Glad it didn't come back to bite them.

I blew my top TRW. It bothered me until there were zeroes on that clock.

I saw tons of uncalled holds from T. Smith on Chandler Jones. At least four. It couldn't have been much worse for them.

They play undisciplined.

Jones was begging for calls from the refs because he was being held so bad. We didn't get several of them that were obvious.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

On the officiating there were some bad calls and some no calls but at a certain point come on. There's a blatant hold on the Cowboys TE that takes away a run, the ref calls it and they show the TE staring at the ref clapping like nice call buddy way to screw us. Then they show the replay and even Aikman conceded it's an obvious hold.

There were at least 3 bad spots yesterday that all favored Dallas, one they were short of the first down the ref gave them the first down and Kliff didn't challenge. On the player stepped out at the 7 yard line they gave him the 5. The last was a play where I think Ertz got the first down they spotted him short, Kyler was screaming at the sidenline waving his arms because they wanted it challenged but Kliff didn't we nearly got a penalty on the play because it took so long before Kyler realize he's not challenging I have to snap it. We got the first down on the next play but should never have come to that.

Even that double pass from the Wr to the RB, they had linemen downfield on the side where the WR was, you can see several Cards players pointing it out because part of why our defense fell for that so hard is they were blocking downfield for the scren pass.

That was BS, Ertz got that FD. I was screaming at the TV lol.

The refs got wrong maybe the fumble but as stated, before Dallas recovers it. Edomonds touches it while being out of bounce. So if the call was fumble it would stand as fumble but with out of bounce touch by edmonds in a perfect world where refs don't make mistakes. In our world, it wasn't called fumble, probably wouldn't have been overturned because there is no angle where you can say the knee wasn't down. So the call was indirectly right.

They should have thrown a flag for the tackle, but that is something else.

Overall the officiating wasn't that much against Dallas, it didn't call many PI and OPI (on the TD) from them, so basically if they didn't get the calls there, they would never even had a chance to get to a 3 point game. maybe a 7 pt game or a 10 point game but, I'm quite sure without the zebras helping them the first 3 qrt they would have looked even more atroscious and we would have scored 2 more TD.

But in the end game is over, move along. The Dallas player show, that they aren't ready for the playoffs and they are to a high degree our oponent in 2 weeks. Hopefully we can win that again and go to the NFC semi finals against probably GB and beat them to go to TB and win there so we have an all road SB win and everybody on the media will call it "it was so obvious they were the best road team all season long" win.

Of course, as Cardinal fans we learn the rules the hard way.. Maybe someone can remember when, it was a game at home against the Giants and what clearly looked like a fumble to the entire civilized world, the refs reviewed it and I think what they actually said was "the player gave himself up" so they called the ball down at that point and there was no fumble. Giants win.

I remember that play well. A travesty, we were robbed.

Victor Cruz: One of my all-time epic meltdowns on that play.

I totally get that. I think that's probably why I remember that particular play... epic meltdown indeed! Total hose job.

Refs said they ruled forward progress was stopped, but it wasn't. Cost us the game - about 10 years ago. I think in the Whis days.
