MNF Thread - Cowboys at Chargers

[POTUS]

Wait are you allowed to block a guy into a player calling fair catch?

 

[Perd Hapley]

Special teams cluster17. How is it legal to just destroy the punt returner before he catches the ball?

 

[patdog]

If he signals fair catch, that is still a penalty.

No idea what the rule is but that’s got to be a penalty.

edit: apparently the rule is bullsh**.

 

[Lettuce]

Well, here ya go Dak…and it starts with a patent false start

 

[Lettuce]

He’s really having trouble dropping back in pocket and driving forward on his 1st passing option.
He’s looked ok on the ground tonight but he’s definitely missing his old explosive first step. NFL absolutely unforgivable to explosive first steps.

Penalties

Dallas - 10-80

Chargers - 9 - 79

 

[Lettuce]

Mike has that big azz menu in front of his face and calls 6 plays off of it

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Sounds like they got a ton of Cowboy fans there.

 

[Lettuce]

Btw , where is free chat? Do I not get that with my subscription anymore?

America’s team and the game is in a foreign country.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

For all the penalties, the fact that they missed two critical pass-interference calls that would've given Dallas a touchdown twice in this game pisses me off.

I'll almost bet you good money. The Chargers will get the penalties they need to get in the end zone.

 

[Perd Hapley]

Dallas D finally wakes up.

Dak outduels Herbert on the road. Nice W.

Great win.

side note

Chargers coach won’t have a job for much longer.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

They really needed this one. I think that after the game they had last week to bounce back and beat an outstanding Chargers team on the road with their defense leading the way says something about the Cowboys this year. I have to believe the NFL is going to be an enjoyable ride from now through to January.

Dak Prescott really played a good game tonight, but the Dallas defense showed that they are still dangerous even with players on injured reserve.

ETA - Final tally on penalties

Dallas - 11-85

L.A. - 9-79

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Parson's had a couple of huge play down the stretch.

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

I know there are fewer Chargers fans in the wild than USM fans but they annual waste talented rosters like nobody else. Even moreso than Dallas.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

I'm getting too old, curmudgeonly, or just a hard ***, but the nfl is hard to watch. I really don't need to hear about Disney turning 100 along with the hard press on all the other advertisers.

Honestly, I doubt young people are clamoring for more ads. The problem iis there isn’t any other option if you want pro football. All pro sports have basically turned into Ricky Bobby putting the fig newton sticker on his windshield.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

Gotta say that Herbert is pretty fun to watch. Just an incredibly gifted QB.

Yes he is. Best kept secret in the NFL.

I went through that period, but I now watch more than I ever have. I almost look forward to Sundays more than Saturdays, depending on matchups.

 

[Dawg1969]

Going back to the play where our player was pushed into the fair catch, looked to me like a hands to the face penalty should have been called. That play almost cost the game.

Same. Also, it's nice for Monday Night Football to 'feel' important again. For a while there, it was like "let's just throw our B team college announcers together in the booth and put together a matchup that makes the Thursday game look like the Super Bowl".

Alright, Joe and Booger, get us hype for Jacksonville vs Cleveland.

 

[Maroon13]

NFL games have fewer commercials than college. That damn cbs 230 game is more commercial than game.

 

[Maroon13]

That and the bs PI call late in the game. DBs and WRs have damn near a wrestling match down the field now a days and they call that? Com'on man.

 

[MSUGUY]

A picture worth a thousand words

 

[Perd Hapley]

Sure there is, there’s the other pro football, which used to be called “college football”. But its a much worse product.

 

[Boom Boom]

You have to win in the second half of the referees are going to start watching the with guys in blue shirts. If they're gonna call that many penalties on Dallas, need to call a few on the Chargers, like that pass interference in the end zone.

McCarthy needs to realize that he does not have the same quarterback and as healthy of an offensive line as in Green Bay.

Didn't get to see the game, but in the highlights for nearly every Charger offensive play there's a Dallas defender in the backfield getting held like crazy. Like, a full yard ahead of the OL with one arm flailing in space ahead of him while the other is held behind him in some Krav Maga lockdown hold or something.

 

[Boom Boom]

Lamb: 7 catches on 7 targets.

Gallup: 3 catches on 10. targets. Oof. There's the Cowboys problem right there, their intended #2 reciever never recovered from injury and is a complete bust of an extension contract.

 

[thekimmer]

If he signals fair catch, that is still a penalty.

ETA – another 17ing penalty on Dallas put them on the goal line.

They need to give the referees a bonus for that touchdown.

That is what I thought. The defender interfered with the returner's ability to catch the football. He was blocked but not blocked into him. If it is permissible to hit the returner after a fair catch signal why don't teams blow em up every time?

I could not see him signal on replay. The only reason I would think is that he didn't signal unless there is some other rule I don't know about.
