How many plan on buying attending a game in Dallas after yesterday?

I will never spend money to see a Cowboys game in person as long as the refs are allowed to dictate our games. I saw Jerry's reaction and it's little bit late. This has been going on for years now so don't get mad now when they do it on Thanksgiving.

Imagine spending your Thanksgiving Day at AT&T Stadium and watching the refs throw a flag every 2 minutes of play. Completely unwatchable and something should have been done about it years ago.

Refs have been determining outcome of NFL games for years. There should be a review of every play in every game. The refs should be fined for every incorrect or missed call. Until the refs are held accountable, we can expect to have the same inconsistencies across the board. When they will start losing more, they will start doing a better job.

I haven't been able to enjoy a big play of ours for years and others here feel the same way. We're all waiting for a flag.

I'm glad Jerry is speaking up but where was he 5 years ago? I really don't want to hear it at this point.

Like players are fined for every missed assignment, dropped pass, or missed tackle? How about coaches for every stupid decision?

Expecting perfection from refs while players and coaches make mistake after mistake, while being paid a lot more than refs, is comical.

The thing is, it's not going to change. The Cowboys haven't won a title in 26 years but are still the most popular team in the league. And they're still the most hated. That means no matter if they win or lose, the NFL knows people will watch and the league will continue to make money.

And if they instruct the officials to call a, how can I put this, a "tight game" (cough, cough), the controversy from it only heightens interest and will make people tune in next week to see if Dallas rebounds or chokes again.

The NFL can have its cake and eat it too with the Cowboys, and it's been that way basically since they entered the league. People like us, real fans who only want to see the team succeed, are the only ones that suffer.

Jerry owes it to us to fix this. I don't care what he has to do..

I'll never attend a game. I want to do it at least once but honestly, why would I spend that much money on tix and travel to sit in a stadium full of opposition fans and watch the Cowboys lose?

I can do that for free from the comfort of my recliner. Better beer selection and clean bathrooms too.

I’ll admit I debated going to this game but was leaning towards going to the Cards game. I’m certainly glad I did not go to this one and now there’s no way I’m spending my money on this fraud of a game. Yesterday ruined it for me for sure. On top of that, I bought in to the “special team” BS which they certainly are not. More than anything though, I cannot support a league that allows this BS.

That and it's what the networks want. That's really the "fanbase" the league cares about. The better the talking points, the more the networks will purchase the rights. Teams like us that are hated or, like the Lions, are "useless" to the league will continue to get screwed. It's a rigged club, and we ain't in it.THe league and Jerry could fix it today, but they won't because it's too much money.

I'll probably attend the next time the Cowboys and Bears play during the con in Chicago, but that might be the one time I'd routinely do it.

Having attended almost every Cowboys game for the past 12 years, I can tell you, you aren't missing much.

What's the point? You won't see the players decide the game.

Because it's entertaining and i'm a diehard Cowboys supporter. Not really much point besides that tbh. Though, I'm much more into my being a furry than I am into this sport now (though my fursona has a big Cowboys influence).

No point in paying and traveling hundreds of miles to watch a team constantly falter, lose, and collapse year after year regardless of what’s going on (“ref” interference, injuries, etc.). Money could be spent on much better and more worthwhile things. I’ll stick to cable for now. Maybe when I’m on my deathbed I’ll go see them lose in person one last time.
