The interviews with McCoy were great. Seems like a good kid. makes me happy he goth this chance and the success after the road he has traveled. In the pregame stuff, he looked visibly afraid. he came through and if the truth is known....big d is lucky it was a 2 touchdown spread

From the article:

UPDATE: Wyllie said on Tuesday morning that he was trying to get McCoy into the locker room for a speech from Redskins head coach Jay Gruden. “We wanted to get Colt in to hear coach’s postgame speech,” he told TMZ. “I wasn’t denying access. I wanted Colt to hear coach talk. I felt we needed to get him inside.” Make of that what you wish.

Ignoring the anti-Skins slant from the article (I feel like Shutdown Corner keeps sliding towards the PFT/TMZ media coverage with how they relentlessly attack every NFL team for a perceived slight) if this is true I feel there are ways he could've handled this better, but I can't fault him for doing his job.

The play was over once he had possession in the end zone, therefore no fumble. Just like a play ends once the ball crosses the stripe.

The play only ends that way when the offense crosses the goal line. Its a change of possession in the end zone. The defender can get up and try to run it out or declare himself down and get the ball at the 20. Same for kickoffs or punts that are caught in the end zone. He could have gotten up and ran around the end zone if he wanted, had he been tackled, its a touchback as long as he never leaves the end zone.

Having said that, if he does get up and run even without stepping out of the end zone then a fumble is live (so is the right to hit him). If that fumble hadnt gone out of bounds last night on the int, then its a refs decision as to whether he was declaring himself down (no fumble) or was he still live (fumble).

Editing to add: Since it was a 'possession change in the end zone' (yes... thats an important distinction), fumbling out of bounds is a touchback, not a safety.

Right...since the impetus for the ball entering the endzone was by us then the Cowboys could only have a touchback or a return...unless of course he ran out of the endzone and then back in.

Ok now that has been explained,can someone explain this call? With 7:06 in the first qtr romo is under pressure and scrambles out of bounds for a couple of yards.Flag on redskins on the play for illegal contact.Ref gets on the mike and says"illegal contact on #31,this 5 yard penalty will be ADDED TO THE END OF THE RUN.WTF? Since when do illegal contact penalties get added to the end of a run?I thought you either took the 5 yard penalty for first down or nothing,am I wrong?

Perfect example of the entire game and the calls..... WTFFFF????

I initially was wondering about that call, but.. I think touchback was the right call, but yes i was wondering about a safety as well.. Its a change of possession, more like a punt tho then a kickoff, and I still believe if he doesnt leave the end zone first, touchback

I gave Breeland the game ball in the poll, but there were lots of good performances. Jackson, Riley, Robinson, McCoy, Garcon, Reed, Amerson, Meriweather, Morris, and Kerrigan all played well.

I'm not as impressed with Haslett's game plan as some of you, mostly because he let both Murray and Randle average over 7 yards per carry. If Dallas sticks with the run at the end, they likely walk down and score. I give props to Haslett though for his blitzes. 4 of those 5 sacks came from the safeties and inside linebackers.

So I guess you think our D should be the 85 Bears or something? Dallas has a really good offense so you know going in they're going to make plays. You simply can't ask more of the defense last night.
