17'n Dak
- Thread starter She Mate Me

Only highlight of the game so far. Except for JJ getting in the ring of honor finally.
There would be another one if the worst 17'n rule remaining from the old days of football wasn't still around.
The fumble thru the end zone touchback is an a absolutely ridiculous relic. It rolls out at the 1 inch line, you get it there. 1 inch inside the end zone and the opponent gets it 80 yards from your end zone.

I think the NFL might be changing that rule in the off-season. They’re going to look at it, at least.
Long overdue. Should be offense ball at spot of fumble.
They look well on their way to losing tonight. They keep making just enough of a mistake that those big plays for the Cowboys don't happen other than that one play.
There you go. They can't stop Montgomery and it's gonna be a long night if they can't stop the run.
Detroit is really good. As in capable of getting to the Super Bowl. Dan Campbell is awesome and they’ve absolutely killed it in the draft the last couple of years.
Somebody should tell McCarthy he doesn't have to run Pollard on first down for no gain every damn time. A play action, something. Dak is getting 2 downs to work with every series.
Dallas won due to Dak’s arm and the defense making stops. Gotta kill the naysayers. This was a tough NFL game between 2 playoff teams. The Boys aren’t going to score 40 on everybody. But Dakota still threw for 300 plus and Goff still sucks.
The head coach for Dallas should FINE himself for the plays that he called on that last possession. Passs??? They got lucky but you have to get lucky every once in a while... of course all this week never will say how they should've lost. Nobody will say anything about the fumble in the first half that went through the end zone - that should only place it gets ruled that way. Any other play if you fumble the ball and nobody recovers it it goes back to where you fumbled it.

And Dak outplayed the guy who was picked #1 in his 2016 draft class.
But Goff and Detroit have had a nice year and I'm glad for both.
Come on now. It makes perfect sense to penalize the offense much more severely if they fumble close to the opponents end zone, vs at midfield.
What the 17 is wrong with your brain???
Seriously, how the hell can that rule still be a thing??
I'd even be ok with some kind of penalty like 5-10 yards. So 1st and goal from 5 or 10.
I gotta say, I'm glad the Cowboys have fully realized what they have in Lamb and are finding him everywhere. He's been a huge weapon for Dak this year.
This team is still so talented. I'm an idiot, but I hold out hope for lightening in the playoff bottle.

Just read an article about the fumble across the goal line rule and the NFL competition committee has not received any recommendations from the league teams to change the rule. Probably due to the fact that the play happens so rarely (none in 2022 and 1 in 2021) it's not on anybody's radar. To bad, because the rule really penalizes the offense and in this case the defense didn't even touch the ball but they get it as a touchback.
It's surprising to me it happens so rarely when you consider how often players stretch the ball out trying to break the plane these days.
But it's still an unbelievably stupid and seemingly arbitrary rule. Everytime I see it called it pisses me off. Fix it.
Is Mike McCarthy the dumbest person in professional football?
If the Giants found it with Eli then it's definitely possible.....so you're saying there's a chance ****
Absolutely. Everywhere else the defense has to recover the ball in bounds. Should be no different past the goal line.
