THAT COWBOYS vs LIONS GAME WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO GO DOWN LIKE THAT. REFS PICKING UP FLAGS CANCELING PENALITIES AND NEGLECTING TO GIVE OBVIOUS PENALITIES. ...WTH...... COWBOYS GOT THAT WIN BY LUCK & REF FAVORS. YEAH I SAID IT Gregory Bingley Robert D Johns Refs Missed A 2nd Obvious Penalty On The Disappearing-Flag Play — Its Worse Than The Original Dez Bryants actions could have cost the Cowboys a playoff win. After the flag was thrown, Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant could be seen running onto the field to argue the call — without a helmet. Being on the field without wearing a helmet is a big no-no in the NFL. Instead of throwing a second flag on the play, the official simply pointed to the sideline to have Bryant leave the field. Bryant was closer to the center of the field than either of the players involved in the play. Some, including former NFL head coach Tony Dungy, feel this was much worse than the pass-interference call, which is debatable. To me, Dungy said on The Dan Patrick Show, Dez Bryants actions were worse than the pass-interference call. You can debate the pass-interference call. The helmet rule is plain. And for an official to not have the courage to call that. Dez Bryant is not on the field at the time. He is an offensive player not coming in as a substitute. There is no reason he is out there other than to argue the call with no helmet on. Every official should have thrown a flag at that point. At the very least it should have been another 15-yard penalty. And there is no way you can justify not calling that. The biggest issue with the pass-interference call was that the referee made the announcement before discussing the ruling with the other officials. You can still make an argument that it was indeed pass interference, but judgment calls are sometimes missed, and they happen in every game. Bryants running onto the field without a helmet for the sole purpose of arguing a call was a much clearer rules violation, and a flag should have been thrown.
