its not illegal in that particular situation. your just stupid
lol....what about the hit on the dallas punter?....It was worse than cowboys running into the kicker.....the refs had no clue on what there were doing....bad calls on both sides of the ball.....
"The rigged call"
It was a confusing situation. Human beings make mistakes tbh
saw that....facemask pulled by lions receiver ....foul should of been called on the lions"The rigged call"
For real...there was bad no calls/ no calls on both sides. The fact is Detroit was lucky that Dallas wasn't sharp for a full sixty minutes. Detroit had a good scheme coming into the game which aided their already number one run defense. They confused Romo tremendously on both called plays and audibles. Dallas was lucky to come out with a win; Detroit was lucky to make it the game it was imho.
I don't see a blow up photo of Dez Bryant running from the sidelines onto the field with his helmet off.
Wrong.
Face guarding is a penalty in college football, but not at the pro level.

Thay's not what face guarding is you fat pile of .
I'm not gonna complain, but that call was bull . Hitchens didn't look for the ball once in his defense.
Wining and dining the head of referees looks to have payed off, thanks Stephen
Other than the Lions fans, the best thing for the game is...Cowboys vs Packers. Far more interesting/exciting.
Hitchens, knowing he is going to get beat upfield, also grabs his jersey as he turns the corner. I'm sure Clipper Nation will post a zoom in photo of that.I'm not gonna complain, but that call was bull . Hitchens didn't look for the ball once in his defense.

Regardless, still no media addressing Dez Bryant running onto the field with helmet off and lipping off to the refs, supposedly an automatic flag.

Detroit definitely got screwed. However, I agree that Dallas vs Green Bay will be a better game so I don't really care.
owned. Mul roll cant get his fat ass up after det one
NFL head of officials Dean Blandino said Monday that the no-call on pass interference againstDetroit Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew by Dallas Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens was debatable but holding definitely should have been called on the play.
More from ESPN.comBy NFL rules, there were four apparent penalties on the pivotal, controversial Lions-Cowboys flag reversal, writes Kevin Seifert. Story
Blandino, speaking on NBC Sports Radio's "Pro Football Talk Live," said the officiating crew made an error by announcing a penalty and then picking up the flag. Ideally, he said, the crew would have discussed the play and then made an announcement that there was no penalty on the play. If the crew had handled the situation in this manner, "it would have mitigated some of the response to this," he said.
Blandino said that when he reviewed the play it appears as a "judgment call that could have gone either way." But he saw a clear "jersey grab" by Hitchens that should have resulted in a defensive holding call that "should have been called."
There has been debate on whether the makeup of the officiating crew in the playoffs where "all-star" crews are put together for the games helped to cause the confusion on the play. Blandino said he doesn't think "that was ultimately the factor that led to this situation happening." He said there are "pros and cons" on having "all-star" crews versus the crews that have worked together the entire season but in the end it's a moot point because "most of these officials have worked together at some point in their career."
Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant came onto the field without his helmet to argue the initial pass-interference call Sunday, an act that had many wondering why he wasn't flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. But Blandino said that Bryant's actions weren't an automatic penalty as the rule against players taking their helmets off on the field only applies to players in the game at that time.
The official Sunday had "discretion" to decide whether Bryant's actions warranted a penalty and decided against it, although Blandino said he would have supported a penalty on the Cowboys' star receiver if one was called.
Blandino was also asked about his presence on a Cowboys party bus in August and perceptions that he is biased toward owner Jerry Jones' team.
He said the bus incident is something that "happened" but it has nothing to do with how Sunday's game was officiated.
"People can believe what they want to believe but one thing had nothing to do with the other," he said.
Former VP of Officiating for the NFL
Tainted win. It is what it is. The only thing most people will remember about this game is that the Cowboys needed help from the refs to win.
Alot of players go on the field without their helmet
