Maybe your reality.

What part of my post was the opposite in your reality?

1. One of the best SB's ever
2. The penalty ruined what might have been a great ending
3. Calling that marginal PI gave KC the win.
The call at the end was correct, even Bradbury said so. Even if it was marginal, makes up for the blatant 3rd down PI earlier they missed.

The rules on receptions needs to be changed. how can a catch with two feet down and turning upfield be incomplete to take away a def TD and the one on the sideline to Godert be a reception? Terrible rules to help the offense.

Look, I was rooting for KC. Wanted the Eagles to lose. Not upset at the outcome, just how it happened. I just dont think you make THAT call at THAT time. No difference in NBA games. You basically have to take the guys head off to get a call on the final shot to win games.

ITs not that it wasnt a penalty, it was that it wasnt bad enough to call in that instance. And the ball was overthrown.
as long as they are consistent (which they never are), in general, when in the game should be irrelevant in a perfect world.

I mean the guy who committed the penalty disagrees




I have seen the arguments about hold, no hold. He clearly grabbed the jersey right about the guy's right hip. He didn't hold it long, but as I said in the thread during the game, this ain't bull riding, and you don't have to go eight seconds and not be bucked off.

A hold is a hold. And it surely was long enough for the ref to decide it made a difference.

Others have said during a game with such importance, those kinds of calls should not be made. I suggest not calling a penalty because the game is the Super Bowl is ridiculous. If it is an infraction, then it should be called. This isn't the NBA where the stars get a break because they are the best players.

I see no difference in this hold or the penalty for hitting the QB outside of the playing field with the Bengals.

Thanks for sharing that.

To you maybe. To me it’s a ticky tak call that you don’t make in that situation.

I agree to your point on receptions. Why the conflicting standards on what constitutes a reception? If a guy a can catch the ball and and get two feet down prior to going out-of-bounds that's considered a catch, but if he actually does the same thing in the field of play he has to follow-up it up with another "football move" - whatever that means and which is very subjective. The Eagles WR caught the ball on that play - he didn't drop it afterward. The Chief's defender was the one who caused the WR to lose the ball by making a well-timed hit. It's unfortunate today with the the rules that favor the offense, that defenses are rarely rewarded for good play.

Don't get me wrong, I hate the Eagles and am very, very glad they lost. But how can we sit here and gloat when they actually made it? I'm in my mid-thirties and haven't seen an NFC Championship game, let alone a Super Bowl, since I was 7 years old. As much as it pains me to admit, we really have nothing to talk trash about.

Man they are Eagles. We are Cowboy fans. IT shouldn't have to be explained why we gloat when they lose even though they accomplished more than us lol.

The media narrative is already morphing into the Eagles are not all that good, the entire NFC is not that good, the Eagles never had to face a good quarterback, and the fan bases of the 30 teams that were not in the Super Bowl are joining in. I’m reminded of the old bumper sticker “I may be slow, but I’m ahead of you”.

Yeah its a joke. I hate that after every SB win then we all of a sudden know why that team won and why the other didn't.....stupid narratives. Eagles were a good team and lost to a better team. No shame in that.

Levels. I can assure if we went 14-3 (WAS DAL NO) and lost the superbowl like Eagles yesterday, everyone on here...led by you, would be out for blood blaming Dak and McCarthy and Quinn and Zeke. For the fumble, for not running the ball, and not sacking the QB and getting zero stops in the 2nd half. Don't pretend otherwise. Sirianno is a child.
I don’t live in the moment like a lot of fans on this board. Many live from week to week with the players, coaches and the team. One minute they love a player or a coach and the next minute they hate them and want them gone. If it was up to some fans we would fire our head coach after every couple of losses. They’re only as good as their last performance in the eyes of some fans. You may operate like that but I don’t.

There isn't one Cowboys fan that wouldn't want to see the Cowboys playing last night even in a L. It sucks to lose the SB but we haven't seen the Cowboys in a big game like that in almost 3 decades. I'll take it!

Posts like this is why I'm glad the Internet wasn't around when the Cowboys lost their 3 Super Bowls. I can only imagine the brutal response we would get if the Cowboys made it to the Super Bowl and then lost, and heaven forbid, if they got blown out.
