NFL admits mistake on play that potentially cost the Dallas Cowboys a Week 1 win over the Buccaneers
The Cowboys are feeling cheated by the NFL.

The Dallas Cowboys lost in Week 1. Nobody is out here saying that the Cowboys are anything except for 0-1, but after having over a week to digest on what happened down in Tampa Bay (while processing everything that has been happening in Dallas simultaneously) there is no denying it. The Cowboys were very much in that game and could have very easily won it.

There is NO reason an additional ref cant be in front of a monitor to overrule....not everything, but things the league is going to end up apologizing for.

No reason at all except the league maintains more control when they don't have to be accountable logically.

It definitely should have been called, but even if we'd scored a TD on the heels of it being called, that was in the first half. There's certainly no way you can be sure Tom Brady wouldn't have felt more sense of urgency and overcome that deficit, so you just can't blame the loss on that...but it did suck.

I haven't heard from any source about the intensity that McCarthy argued with the refs over those non-calls.

Was McCarthy aware enough about the non-calls and did he express his "frustration" to the referees?

His reaction to the non-call on Antonio Brown's pushing off:

“When it comes down to the tight plays in a game, if it’s ticky-tack, you’re better (letting it go).”

Yeah, you're "better". 0-1 is so much "better" than 1-0. Way to fight for the team, coach.

So no offensive pass interference after all. Because that was the play that had people steaming. The unsportsman like conduct was an afterthought. I guess it was too early in the to cause an uproar.

Tampa had atleast 2 calls there were very questionable but favored the boys. It happens. Happens against us 99% of the time but still.
