Can anyone explain the 15 yarder on Moss last night?

That was a terrible call against the Cowboys. A shoulder pad to the sternum should always be considered a clean play. What's a DB to do? Let the receiver catch the ball, then gently lay the receiver on the ground? As long as the contact isn't made on the receiver's head or delivered by the defender's helmet, the hit should be legal.

Maybe the worst call of the year. The refs were just god awful.

Honestly i think it may been a good call on a rule that appears nothing short of terrible .....

I sent a email to the NFL about the rule today for clarification. Although ive emailed the NFL several times and PFT once before about specifics no avail so im not really expecting anything.....
