In this case, Bryant took two steps and lunged toward the goal line. Why was this not an "act common to the game?" Because, by NFL rules, Bryant did it while going to the ground. He never established himself as "upright." Steratore, in Sunday's official pool report, said: "In our judgment, [Bryant] … continued to fall and never had another act common to the game."
The league's Competition Committee considered alternatives to the "Process Rule" during the spring of 2011 but ultimately recommended no changes. Why?
"It makes it easier to officiate," New York Giants owner John Mara, a member of the committee, said in 2011. "It's a bright line that you can draw.
The Broncos as a team just did not show up today, it was almost like they gave up at halftime. Pretty sad really.
Too bad we may not get to see much more of ol Pick Six Peyton
...and only a few more years of Romo choke jobs
Take your butthurt to the NFL 2015 thread. The only choking in the East this year was in Philly. Romo even had a higher PR than Rodgers today. Can't pin anything this year on him, bad back/ribs/finger/knee and all.
Dallas is going to own the East again next year.
I like how outperforming expectations for the year by like 8-9 games by some predictions is "choking". I guess everyone chokes other than the Super Bowl winners.
Still can't get over choking a game and a half lead by losing to the deadskins can you.
NFC East in 2015:
1. Dallas
2. NY
3. Philly
4. Wash
Enjoy
Dak, ya know, after watching over and over again today and listening to other perspectives and explanations... I might have to admit I might be wrong
“There’s judgment involved in all of these plays,” Blandino said. “We felt it was indisputable that’s not what Bryant did. He was just trying to gain control of it.”
