Cowboys/Steelers question

[mcrowder]

I agree with a small portion of your complaint - they should amend the rules to allow forceouts to be reviewable - the result would still be the referee's judgement, but often this is the hardest call to make when looking at everything else the SJ, LJ or BJ are responsible for.

It was brutal because it was the incorrect call to make at that time. The offensive blocker hit the would be tackler almost head on - at the worst, the tackler was side ways. there was no contact with the back of that player at all. they must have showed the replay a dozen times and it was obvious that it was brutal. I take what the commentators say with a grain of salt, but they were dead on with this one.

First of all clipping is below the waist and from behind, not just in the back. Blocking in the back is another foul all together and different yardage.

Now I did not see the play or remember the play you are talking about so it is difficult to debate the validity of the call. It might be possible that the camera angle either caught the wrong action or the number that was given out was wrong. It is really hard to tell talking to you about it here on the computer screen.
