There is no real form or structure to the flags. Can't tell you how many times the past few years I was left with a furrowed brow trying to make sense out of it. When a player can run on the field without a helmet and not get flagged you really have to start considering something else is going on behind the curtain. The ability to penalize a team on any given play, or not, even when there is a blatant infraction certainly leaves the possibility wide open.

Yep ... I guess the most plausible explanation I heard is that the ref who threw the flag can pick it up if, after conferring with another official, he decides it's not the right call. Even if it's already been announced, walked off and the chains moved, :rolleyes:.
I did not even notice Dez Bryant on the field, but shame of the officiating for not at least calling that one ... if that's the type of environment they want to foster on the field, they're gonna' have a hard time controlling any game, IMO. :neutral:. |
