How was this forward progress?

Can anyone explain this to me? By far the most indefensible call made against my team that I can remember.

Seriously, is there any explanation? We lost a game by one possession largely due to that call. This deserves its own thread and an explanation from the refs. How is that forward progress and not 99% of other plays?

Like Blandino said, it simply wasn't. The ball was dislodged at the moment of contact.

My question is how was this call made after the fact? There was no whistle on the field. Had there been a whistle indicating a stoppage of play at least the stripes would've had something to lean on for their call. That call wasn't just atrocious, it appeared completely manufactured in the moment.

It’s more a case of a trigger happy officiating team, they had already mistaken a fumble earlier they wanted to be more conservative afterwards, I sincerely doubt malice or incompetence play into it although I do wish it went our way.

Oh, incompetence was definitely at play. You absolutely cannot after the fact make a determination of stopped forward progress on a play that has resulted in a fumble with no whistle on the field. That's inexcusable officiating.

Nah. There is literally no way any sensible person could have seen that as forward progress. And I was at the game. Even Dallas fans around me agreed.

Besides they called it forward progress after the fact. No whistle blew.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
