TNF: Dallas (7-4) at New Orleans (5-6), 8:20 pm on Fox

I like how Aikman and Buck aren’t afraid to go after the officiating. They see how terrible it’s been. They called out the blindside block as a horrible call. And made fun of the official almost reaching for his flag as “muscle memory at this point with all the flags we’ve seen” 

 

Also,

Why would New Orleans stick with a hobbled Hill at QB over Simean? The gap between the two was extremely small to begin with. In fact; Simean is likely the better passing QB. You definitely don’t stick with a “QB” the caliber of Hill if he’s injured.

Taysom Hills isn't a very good passing QB. But Simean is terrible. At least Hill makes them competitive with his running.

But he ran into the defender from behind, helmet to helmet

Ford did much less and got flagged for it in the Texans game

By the letter of the law, it seems like the correct call to me but my god, what a stupid rule for plays like that to be a penalty.

I disagree.  On that play the pass rusher was looking at #45 and modified his rush to avoid the block.  By definition that is not a blind side block.

The definition for blind side block has nothing to do with being blindsided. It’s purely about the way the blocker is facing and the force of the block.

At what point does the Cowboys organization realize that Pollard is just the better back?

Well, they happen to have the same HC in McCarthey that kept Aaron Jones in a timeshare with Williams for what 2-3 years up in Green Bay when everyone else in the free world saw how much better Jones was. 

 

History repeating itself.

Taysom Hill as a QB, especially when considering his contract, is one of the biggest jokes in the history of professional sports.

Sean Payton is supposed to be an offensive genius who coaches at the highest level of his profession. This is why I’m greatly confused about his love for Hill. It’s just plain bizarre.

That was atrocious tackling...

 

Reminded me of the short cross to Tyreek Hill against the Bills that went for a huge gain due to a bunch of missed tackles

I’ve noticed the NFL is becoming more like the NBA where players selectively put in effort. I think with the game sealed Dallas defenders made the business decision that it’s not worth the effort.

Boy, gotta feel for the Saints.  Injury bug has been terrible.  That injury to Hill , based on seeing his finger hit the guys arm with his finger flexed at the farthest ( distal joint), and seeing how it’s taped ( on top or dorsally) , and how Hill kept pulling on it between passes, most likely that is a RUPTURED EXTENSOR tendon of his middle finger.  That means if not taped in place , the distal phalanx ( furthest part of the finger ) will drop down in what’s called a mallet ( thx for correcting that for me, I misnamed the final result) deformity.  The tendon was torn, ripped from the sides of the bone and most likely will have to remain splinted with the tip flexed upward ( splint on top with slight bend up ) for about 6-8 weeks. If you don’t keep the splint in the tendons can’t reattach and you have a permanent mallet ( corrected)  deformity. 
 

Can’t hurt it more right now , but he won’t he playing with it like that after this game as medically it won’t heal without proper splinting that doesn’t come off. No easy way to control throwing and he would have a permanent deformity.     At least that’s what it looks like from tv.  Otherwise I don’t think they would keep that splint on top of the third finger.  Hill is playing tough, got to give him credit, but sure looks like he ruptured the extensor tendons on that finger.   Will see tomorrow on injury report.

I'm sure that will go over well in the film room...
