watching the replay of the game, on the Cowboys first TD, which was initially called back when they picked ups he holding penalty. But beyond that call, Beebe was definitely 1 yard past the line of scrimmage on the screenplay and went on to knock McFadden out of the way from making a play. It was a good play call, but if Beebe was back a yard, McFadden is making that tackle, and that's a field goal not a TD.
For those interested in watching, its at the 2:09 mark in the 1st Quarter.
I initially thought a hold - which it didn't look like. But this makes more sense.
I guess the refs picked it up feeling he wasn't far enough down field?
Many said Flott was being held but the flag wasn't thrown anywhere near him.
Not sure why they picked it up?
Maybe thought the pass was caught when the lineman actually went up field. It's really close.
Clearly we should have found a way to overcome these calls but we’re not good enough right now. The face mask call really has me baffled. I hope we get an explanation from the NFL. I can’t wait to hear what they have to say. It was a critical call and completely changed field positions on us, along with momentum.
Honestly - how the f#ck is that even possible? Maybe I heard it wrong.
Yeah, its like Bellinger pissed somebody off in the officals crew. A textbook block one week and his own facemask gets yanked and he is penalized?? WTAF!

in the last two games are really bad. He has perfect inside hand position last week and tosses the guy to the ground and gets called for holding and then in this game....he gets his facemask pulled and the stupid ref calls it on Bellinger. You cant make this up. I am not normally the refs are against us but let’s call a spade a spade. These two are not blown calls but instead horrific ones

Back Judge to Ref: "I got a face mask over there."
Ref: "On who?"
BJ: "Aww shit, I can't remember."
Ref: Musta been the Giants...they suck."
