NFL admitted to Lions today that officials missed a hold on Ndamukong Suh on the 4th-down conversion from Tony Romo to Jason Witten with 6 minutes left in the game (after the controversial Brandon Pettigrew play and before the Dallas TD). Had holding been called, it would have put Cowboys in 4th and 16 on Detroit side of the field. Dallas would have punted and Detroit still would have the lead. One person said that this is "even worse than the PI call/no call."

Holding calls get missed all the time except for the blatant ones where the lineman tackles the defender. Anyone have a vine of this "hold" and not a still pictureso we can see whether this is the kind of hold that can be called on every play of the game or one of the blatant ones?

The NFL has video of it.
 
NFL should have just kept this to themselves. It does nobody any good now

Man, you have no idea! SM's resume speaks for itself. There will be a complete overhaul on the roster. I can't wait to see what SM has in store.
Was listening to Chad Dukes (:{ hate that garbage show) on the way home with Albert Breer. SM wants a new QB according to him.
 
Chad Dukes calls into Philly sports shows, I like that dude

no good?
He knows what he's talking about usually, but he's just such a douchebag that I can't stand listening to him. He might just not be my style, I'm sure he sounds better when talking about other squads instead of just pushing his agenda on what he thinks should happen with the Skins.
 
[COLOR=#red]He was brought in last year as a consultant.

I don't understand the move myself, Philbin still reports straight to Ross but the GM reports to Tann.

Weird to me, but whatever. [/COLOR]

probably easy for me to like him when I only get 5 minutes of him :lol
 
The coin flip is key in Green Bay Sunday.
Probably the most important coin flip of all 4 games this weekend.

It is imperative for both teams to score first.
It does not matter that the game is in Green Bay, if the Cowboys take an early lead then it's going to be hell for the Packers to catch up. Cowboys will pound the rock with Demarco over and over throughout that 2nd half, dismantling that horrific rush defense GB has and control all the time of possession not letting Rodgers get a chance to get them back in the game.

GB can't afford to fall behind by more than 1 TD, that Cowboys running game will torture them.

I'm not saying Cowboys will win but I can safely predict (IMHO) that the Cowboys will AT LEAST probably cover the spread if they win the coin toss and score a TD first.

Coin flip will be absolutely crucial Sunday morning for both teams.
 
^ interesting take. definitely agree to a degree. i don't think there's any doubt that both offenses can play from behind...both have the ability to light it up pretty quickly. edge to GB i'd say. but if it's a two possession game to dallas in the 2nd half...murray will definitely make it tough on GB
 
This isn't a shot at anyone, but Cowboys fans from Texas and neighboring states, are completely different from the extended Cowboys fan base.
Truth! Swear there is nothing worse than the DC Dallas fan. Just delusional and full of hate for the Skins. Went to Dallas for a game and the fans there were much more down to earth about their team. They hate the Giants the most.

And shoutouts to Boobie Dukes. I dont listen as much as I used to but he's done a good job with the show since Lavar left.

Yeah I mean I didn't mean for it to sound like I don't beleive either team has comeback abilities. Clearly they're 2 of the most explosive offenses in the league, if not the most.

So we know both sides can score in the blink of an eye (Terrance 70+ yard TD in 5 seconds... Jordy play action reception for 60 yard TD... Etc). We see them do it often. Neither team will be out of it until the very end (captain obvious).

What I meant though is I think the odds of the Cowboys coming back from a 2 touchdown deficit in the 2nd half are a lot higher then the Packers chances.

As good as Rodgers is (and obviously he's my favorite player), I'm always honest. Put him 2 touchdowns down in the 4th quarter with minimal time of possession (because of Demarco killing the clock and running for first down after first down) and high pressure... It might not end too well. I can honestly admit in those types of situations he's definitely been, "shaky."

It's similar for the Cowboys, put Romo down 2 touchdowns in the 4th and have Lacy killing the clock and he can be just as shaky too. I just think the odds favor the Cowboys stopping Lacy when they have to rather than the Packers stopping Demarco when they have to.

Was gonna mention this in my other post. LaVar leaving has made him a tad easier to listen to. You see LaVar blaming the Skins for him not living up to the hype? :{
Dan Snyder's made this team such an easy target that anyone will believe anything negative that's being said about the organization. LaVar ruined his career all on his own. It's not Dan Snyder's fault he couldn't learn a playbook, it's not Dan Snyder's fault that LaVar's agent couldn't read a contract, and it's not his fault that LaVar was made out of glass.
