Jerry needs to get ahead of referee problem if Cowboys play in Green Bay

[buddieluver]

If we play GB hope we have the crew that called last weekend’s game.

Average mid day temp in Green Bay for the first week of Feb is about 15 degrees or so. Could be anywhere between 8 and low 20's, thats the average. Hopefully there wouldnt be much if any wind chill, THAT is the real game changer. 15 isnt all that bad. Ive worked in it outside MANY times in my younger years. Then again,....15 isnt all that great either. Like I say , the big thing is wind chill. You get the right wind chill and 15 above feels like 10 below zero pretty easily. I live about 2.5 hours from Green Bay.

Projected to be 0 degrees for tomorrow's Vikings @ Packers game at Lambeau -- and that doesn't factor in windchill.

Or we can just win by outplaying them, so that there is no need for excuses

This is easy and lazy to say but the fact is that at the playoff level - and especially the NFC Championship Game level - teams are often so well matched that even one bad officiating call can make the difference. The 2018 Saints were playing their best and yet one terrible non-PI call kept them from going to the Super Bowl.

You can't just say "play better so officiating won't make a difference." In the playoffs everyone is bringing their A-game.

Finally, there's something fundamentally disingenuous about excusing bad officiating and condoning it with the argument of "we should just accept it."

Nah, refs can sway a game in a heartbeat.

If for some reason we have to play Green Bay at lambeau Field Jerry needs to get all the information and head to the league office with the proof of the poor officiating at lambeau Field
He needs to have guys researching this now and go plead his case long before the game because it is a real problem.
It doesn't matter how good our offense is if it's constantly crippled with holding penalties and the Packers are allowed to hold at will it will negate our powerful pass rush

I agree, we used to be able to scratch crews from our games and had to agree with the opposing HC to the crew we would have.

Videos after videos...games after games have been shown by fans, sports analysts and players alike. Zeke called out the officials straight out. Even Jerry has finally come out and talked about it due to the mounting evidence. Neither of them have been fined by Badell. Why is that? Because of the mounting proof on tape.

Wake up to reality.

And what is reality?

 

[CowboyRoy]

They have had multiple crazy bad refereeing games at Lambeau over the last few years. That's all it takes sometimes. There's always going to be people that think the successful are cheating.

But I will say one thing. If a ref wanted to get involved, roughing the passer would be it. Anything can be roughing the passer.

There is bad referee games every week and bad calls all over the NFL. Par for the course.

The only fans that complain are the losing fans. Its what they do.

 

[CowboyRoy]

If you could not see the latest travesty in officiating at lambeau Field that totally changed the outcome of the browns game I don't know what to tell you

The holding was so blatant the guy actually catapulted himself past the receiver by pulling back on his jersey to get the interception this is beyond a bad call this is game-changing stuff
There is no conspiracy theory flat out poor officiating like this leaves us one and done in the playoffs no matter how hard we play or how good we are

So your point is there are bad calls? Or your point is that they are all out to get the Cowboys?

 

[blueblood70]

If anything, he will create a bigger issue questioning the refs then just letting it be. Sorry a bad idea.

 

[CowboyRoy]

I dont believe it to be total conspiracy driven.

And what do you believe it to be?

Nothing a shot of Irish whiskey can’t fix!

Don't worry about it. It's fate.



Man, the hair's standing up on the back of my neck.

This would certainly go over well with the Refs and would have a 100% chance of not backfiring

 

[Mannix]

Won’t matter. Conspiracy theorists like you will see what you want to see.

Have you ever seen a game played in Green Bay....to call people questioning it, "Conspiracy theorists" is asinine....it is very real. What is the worst that can happen if the Cowboys float it out there and it goes public??? Hell, the other teams know about it too...so do Ravens and Browns fans most recently.

I know was there for work about an hour from Green Bay in Merrill WI for 2 weeks of training in Jan and again in Feb of 2015. The 2 weeks in Feb was BRUTAL! We had to work out in it one day at 34 below 0. Everyday the last week was below 0 except one day it was 7 degrees and people in WI was acting like it was 50 that day. Could not wait to get back to NC.

I hear you Bud. I know right were you were,...Merrill is about as far north as the farming areas go,...after that you get into the tourism areas. Yep,....it can be brutal. Btw,...I hate rogers and GB like no other,....probably more than anyone in here because I have to listen to their sheet constantly! Im surrounded! LOL

Refs get annoyed and call a bunch of ticky tack calls on us

Who in the hell cares? At least they would know that people are watching out for it on a large scale....it would be pretty stupid to go ahead and confirm the Cowboys complaints as truth.

 

[ghst187]

Imagine PI getting called (rightfully) on Deion Sanders against Irvin in the ‘95 playoff game….
=We win 4 straight SBs….

So many calls are subjective so it really won’t be a case of it being confirmed. People will continue to see what they want

 

[Hayseed]

You beat the hell out of Rogers, legally,...thats what you do. You let it be known early and often that he is in for a longggggg day. And this defense can do it too. THAT more than anything is how you beat sheethead and the Packers in Green Bay or anywhere else.
