I was watching the game. When even the announcers weighed in with video footage, ya' gotta wonder what was up with that call from the ref.

(29,031 posts)I saw some (mockup) jerseys that had the #68 with the name above it as "Eligible".
I wouldn't be mad if a lot of people showed up wearing them.
What's weird is that the NFL absolutely won't quit doubling down on this. They can't seem to admit error.

(4,203 posts)Yeah, there was some kind of unfortunate miscommunication there but they had three more chances to simply kick the ball and tie the game. It became a farce by the last time.
I hate Dallas more than I like my own team but at some point you just have to let it go. Crying about it helps nothing.

Don't let it die. Push the NFL to finally hire and train professional refs. This part-timer stuff with refs who have other positions has gone on long enough. MLB and the NBA have pros working their games.
