The worst part is it was Jalen Ramsey who got his ass burned. That was such an awesome play, ruined by bad officiating.
Of course, this game should be tied, except for Mike McCarthy.

It was called OPI because Ramsey threw his head back. Like the classic head snap move to draw a high sticking penalty in hockey.
McCarthy probably didn't want to risk losing his last timeout.
Cuz he's Mike McCarthy. How was that slumber party Jerry? You get your coach. Sucks for the Dallas players, because they are good enough to be great, but their owner can't get them a head coach worth shit.
Thanks. Didn’t know that. Good riddance - but the Cowboys really could have used it there.
Official down the field looking back at the receiver coming towards him has no real angle, but makes the call anyway.
I don’t think Cris realized what he was saying there. Stunning that Smith has been out of football that long. Hope he stays clean.
I didn't know they got rid of it either. Still doesn't change the math that Mike McCarthy is an idiot though. You have to take the points and the tie late in the 4th quarter, with one of the two best kickers on the planet sitting on your bench.
Yup. It’s almost like the football gods were saying, “nope...you’re not getting bailed out here, Mike”.
I don’t like Mccarthy either but even if the review was available it would come from upstairs, not the coach.
Take the points though.
Came here to check whether I was crazy thinking that OPI was ticky tack as hell. I’d be furious if I were a Cowboys fan.
Ramsey snapping his head back is Revis grabbing his hammy after Moss burnt him for a TD. Can’t believe the ref fell for it.
Patricia's defense when his coaching was questioned: Super Bowl 49.

Again, it's consistently amazing how coaches just can't help themselves from giving snotty/unnecessary answers. If Belichick was ever asked the same question his response would almost certainly be something like "I don't know what you mean by 'coaching style' but we have to do better in all phases of the game, including coaching."
Red Sox have won 4 World Series and Patriots have attended 7 Super Bowls and won 4, since someone other Eli Manning last started a Giants season opener.
Since when do Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit do MNF? I’m not complaining, they’re great, but I don’t remember this announcement.
Is Fowler watching this game? He said “Tuitt got in there” on Barkley’s run when it was definitely not Tuitt. Then the next completion he said was to Scott... nope
I had not seen that commercial yet, but I would have taken the under on a Celine Dion song being used in a football commercial
Probably not, I have made one real bet in my life and it took my friend about 10 minutes of explaining what +110 or -130 meant.
Jesus, yes.
It's not only bizarrely insecure. It's also bizarrely grandiose. He's giving himself credit to too great a degree for what Malcolm Butler did.
While winning my weekly pool does depend on Pittsburgh winning, I am enjoying them looking bad.
