I understand that Dan Campbell went for the 2-point conversion to try to win in regulation, but he probably should have gone for the game-tying extra point and taken it to overtime after the ineligible receiver penalty wiped out the 2-point conversion. As a result, the Dallas Cowboys are the only team to finish undefeated 8-0 at home and have extended their home winning streak to 16 games.
Not being very objective in your post there bud. I mean, the Cowboys were screwed all game.vwbug said:

Unless you are 100% sure they did NOT report you don't throw that flag. Barbie needed to calm down there.

A Cowboy game within the last month had similar penalty. It wasn't an eligible tackle, but a typical receiver. Outside receiver was lined up on the line of scrimmage and covered up tight end.
I know it doesn't. That's why we're here though. To talk about crap that doesn't matter.Infection_Ag11 said:It doesn't matterTyHolden said:

A covered player doesn't magically become eligible just because he declares himself. Declaring yourself eligible is a jersey number issue, not an alignment issue.

Why all the controversy over checking in? He was covered up. Reynolds fked up. Illegal man downfield/touching regardless if he checked in.

I still don't get why they got to try it again after the offensive penalty
Why would they not?
An offensive penalty is typically loss of down. I don't get why an illegal touching is no play.
No it's not. Only intentional grounding. It's a replay the down.

Im not convinced he was covered up, despite what the guy said on the broadcast.94chem said:gigem1223 said:
Idk what 68 told the ref but GDit we were due one of these
You can report 15 times, but if you're covered, you're still not eligible.

Except you can see the receiver tell the side judge that he is off the ball and not covering the end man on the line of scrimmage. Just say you don't know ball.
But they do, all the time. They are really bad at this, they can't even see when Micah Parsons gets his head ripped off on a play. Literally man, head ripped clean off.vwbug said:

The real issue with that play was that the referees didn't announce Decker as eligible. The defense has to be notified that a number such as 68 is going to be an eligible receiver.
Thats a great point. If it gets announced, there is a chance one of our secondary is more aware of him and he doesnt just slip free.Tksymm7 said:

In both cases, the player must immediately report the change in his eligibility status to the Referee, who will inform the defensive team. He must participate in such eligible or ineligible position as long as he is continuously in the game, but prior to each play he must again report his status to the Referee, who will inform the defensive team. The game clock shall not be stopped, and the ball shall not be put in play until the Referee takes his normal position.
Here is the other one: not a great angle but there is no way Hendershot should have been called for tripping. Hutchinson? Perhaps. Holding? Maybe. But no way on tripping. Will need to see the all 22. pic.twitter.com/DRbafoxjrw

Whoever is saying he was covered up should stop saying that. He wasn’t. pic.twitter.com/Je0DAMFwpj
