Zeke Suspended for 6 Games.. are the Cowboys Fucked This Year?

Pack lost today (at Carolina)...that helps....

Rams are smokin' the Seahags right now (34-0 at the half) AT Seattle. That also helps.

Dallas needs a W tonight in Oakland PLUS a loss by ATL @ Tampa Bay tomorrow night (not likely though...the Bucs Suck. Better chances of L's for the Falcons the final two weeks with games vs the Saints and the Panthers.)

But make no mistake about it....with Carolina & Nawlins both snugged up at 10-4 apiece, the Boys need ATL to get beaten by both in order for them to have a chance at that 6th spot.

So happy the East Coast Cheaters are losing right now.

Brady ain't so good when they can't cheat!!

I was elated when they lost last week!

Why Cleveland has not won a game this year?

Dont let hatred of the Pats cloud the fact the receiver dropped his knee to the ground and THEN reached out.

Watched a lot....and I mean a LOT...of Cowboy games over the decades. Can't recall the team ever winning one quite like this. Anyone?

I saw the Steelers game.. I was shocked when they scored that final touchdown.. yes, it was a touchdown.. I was in a restaurant, the sound was off.. was it ruled incomplete, because the receiver didn't control the ball to the ground?

missed the Cowboys game, saw the score.. what was interesting about it?

Only thing interesting was their dumb luck.

They'll get pounded by seahawks if they play like that next week.

The defender was right there, and the replays on CBS focused on the spin of the ball to complete the catch, since that was more relevant (complete/incomplete). The one replay from the downfield angle and he was clearly in contact during the catch as he went down. Contact while going down is contact.

It was ruled a catch on the field, overturned on review. Ball moved in his hands when he went to the ground. No control through the catch.

It was a catch and a TD

https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-video-rulebook/completing-a-catch/

RULE 8 SECTION 1 ARTICLES 3-4

He caught ball had control when his knee/thigh went down to make his initial contact with the ground. See Item 1. Player Going To The Ground.

He however was NOT down by contact and could advance the ball and break the plane of the end zone.

He lost control after that.

Here is Rule # 11.
