Gotta admit, that Ref was all over that tap in.

 

[Captain-Crash]

this is what I envisioned.

a short pass to the left to zeke, ball bounces at zekes feet. game over.

if they got the ball grounded.

Argue all you want about whether it was a dumb play call or not, but the referee Sunday unquestionably screwed the Cowboys in that scenario.

Ref 100% didn’t do his job and was late coming in which ruined any chance.

That asshat ref was screwing us all day......the days of a referee being unbiased....is long gone. Wouldn't shock me to find out that clown had money riding on the game.

I think McCarthy and I are the only two people on the planet who thought it was a good play call for that moment. The defense was ripe for that play and if the Ref was on top of things or Dak had just set down about 5 yards sooner, they would have had another shot at the end zone. Still would have lost, but hey, live for another play.

we were lucky to win a game with the league wide conspiracy.

 

[Risen Star]

Proof that we made the right call.

Absolutely right. The fact that the refs have absolutely no consequences for their abysmal performance this season is the single biggest issue facing the NFL.

The refs didn't give us "and a" before blowing the whistle. What I mean is this. Two times in the first half SF snapped the ball with 0 on the clock. I counted it down 4 and a 3 and a 2 and a 1 and a 0 and a FLAG, if the ball isn't snapped on the "and a." Both times SF got away with it, but it was the right call because they got it snapped at "and a."

Now go take a look at the two on us in the second half, they blew the whistle right at 0. The play right after the fake punt where they was trying to make SF use a TO, and the last play of the game they blew the whistle at 0. They didn't give us the "and a" on both times. They always give you that but they didn't give it to us on both those plays.

And on the first TD they scored both Parson and Kearse were being held. I've seen Tyron get called for less on the non-call on Parsons. And the hold on Kearse looked exactly like the hold on #57 (Luke Gifford) on that good punt return. It might have been a kick off return, I can't remember. Just wanted to point that out.

Ref wasn’t 4 seconds behind the play this time. That’s the difference I see.

Did Jax warn the refs ahead of the play they were going to do that? In order to get them to hustle?

…..additionally, the ball carrier jumps up and runs to hand it directly to the ref….not the center……of course Dak would have had to run the ball back up field 10 yards to hand it to the ,out of position ref ,to duplicate this

The ref was in concessions getting snacks.

 

[conner01]

Proof that we made the right call.

Not really
The jags had 1 or 2 seconds on the clock
That’s just cutting it too close
I think you could have got 2 shots at end zone from where they were and the odds are about the same of completing the pass from either spot when the D knows what you are doing

I think it was just a matter of the official understanding the situation. No timeouts so he's got to get up there fast for any play in the field. The one in our game didn't, and Dak also didn't do a good job of getting out of the way.

 

[Miller]

Maybe instead we f blaming the ref we shouldn’t he f run a play where he might screw it up. People here are unreal.

 

[EdmCowboy Fan]

Ok let’s replay the game.

 

[Big D]

Yeah he was. It looked like he knew the play and was ahead of it.
