Cowboys player was blocking, ball hit him on the rear end.  Redskins recover.

 

Officials get together and rule that the cowboys player was blocked into the ball.

 

I watch this and think that this is exactly how all of the panthers' turnovers on punts have been.

 

Is this an actual rule?  That a blocker can be "blocked" into the ball and it's not a muff?  Because we've never gotten that call in franchise history.

I can see the Dallas 12th Man, I mean NFL officials have received their orders to get Dallas all the help they can.

 

being blocked is how nearly all punt touches occur. I've seen that call happen before but when the receiving team is pushed from behind and the ball hits him. The Dallas player was engaged in a block and the ball hit him in the ass. Should have been Redskins balls.

I saw a tweet about this earlier, but I did not watch that game...

 

Here's the gif...

I see why they ruled that... looks to me like the skins player sees the ball and intentionally pushes him into it...

 

I think I've heard of this rule before, but never really seen it enforced...  can't recall.

here's something else I didn't notice.  See how the redskin defender is out of bounds, not engaged with a blocker, moving laterally with respect to the sideline?  not making an immediate effort to get back in?

 

Is that better or worse than what armond smith did that drew two flags in one game?

that incident reminded me of a similar one when we played the redskins in 2009.  one of our gunners blocked one of their players into their punt returner.  the returner flopped, his foot made contact with the ball, and our ST players dove on it.  after a referee conference and review, they turned the ball over to the panthers with no flag for fair catch interference.  how is this different?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
