MNF flagrant foul on the Cowboys

There was a Redskin pass in the fourth quarter, caught. Two Dallas defenders hit him. Neither led with helmet, neither hit the receiver's helmet. A flagrant foul penalty called.

Tirico said something about 'not allowing the receiver a chance to head up field'.

I have never heard of such a thing.

Anybody?

 

I think the officials thought either: A) one of the defenders led with the helmet; or B) the receiver was hit in the helmet. Tirico was off. As I understand it, that's not the rule.

I understand how officials might miss that call, though, because we're talking splits of split seconds. How they missed that tackle of DeMarcus Ware -- in the wide open and on a blitz, no less -- is beyond me.

 

Tirico is horrific. I'd almost, ALMOST, rather have Berman.

 

Stop it.

I would rather have Tirico sing me lullabies nightly than have Berman anywhere near a headset.

 

If the officials got the call right on that one, every defense in the NFL should just quit right now. It was a perfectly clean hit.

 

If Berman did it, the following would have happened:

"Uhhhh, Kevin "Please Plant Me An" Ogletree with the errr, uhhhhhh catch. He did NOT GO ALL THE WAY because he uhhh, errrr, ummm was hit by ehhh Reed "No" Doughty.

 

That's so rude....sorry to explode, but....
