Who says the referees are not biased and help other teams beat the Cowboys?

[America's Cowboy]

Who else has been called for:
An illegal huddle. It’s happened 3 times total.

*False start on long snapper to lose game

*2 streaks of over 8 games with no holds vs top pass rush

*Delay of game on if D-lineman for shifting

*Unsportsmanlike conduct on head coach for arguing a call. Never seen that.

*25 game in the last 15 years with zero penalties.
Cowboys were the opposition in 4 of the 25.


There’s others I’m forgetting that are unique. All those happened to one team and I bet no other team has ever been called for two of those and most teams not once for any.

There’s a bias. It’s from the Americas Team or the fact that we’re always on prime tv games and it’s over compensation to not show favor like the people in the media do by giving us so much attention.

It’s something like that. No I can’t prove it. I just know it’s true. Refs are people and people often show bias.

Yep. There is always this attempt to claim the calls even out yet the calls against Philly were correct. Which ones were not?

Now, compare to Dallas. We had a blatant called foul waived off, and we had an "interpretation" cost us 6 points, and you want to know what is sooooo Dallas-ref about that? It was the Dez catch screw job robbing us again years later.

Here's how:

1) We get blatantly screwed on Dez's catch. The darling Packers got a double standard that game: Cobb did not catch his pass in the first half, but replay gave him a catch even though it was irrefutable that he did not catch it. But with Dez, they come up with that contorted ruling that screwed us out of a catch.

2) The league has to scramble and change the rules because even non-Cowboys fans were calling it fixed. The PR disaster forced the creation of the "Dez Rule".

3) Fast-forward to last game. The creation of the Dez Rule creates a paradox in the rules that, of course, does not come up until it is once again the Cowboys getting screwed by a unique "interpretation". Schoon gets called down short of the goal line because his knee was down, but you have to complete the catch and survive the ground for the catch to count, so how could he be down by contact if he hadn't completed the catch process going to the ground?

So now, the league must make a new sub-paragraph rule amendment to the "Dez Rule" called the "Schoon Rule" to deal with this all new problem that screwed Dallas with a catch-22 in the rules that is a direct result of a previous screwjob against Dallas.

That kind of thing ONLY happens to the Cowboys.

You couldn't pay Hollywood writers to come up with the creative ways the league's refs have screwed the Cowboys over the years.

I think there must be a heck of a lot more money for the league and Vegas if the Cowboys come up short most of the time in key games. These creative screw jobs are to keep that going.

 

[Cowboys5217]

Just want to also point out it wasn't long ago the refs screwed us against the Chargers with at least 3 penalties committed by the Chargers player on a punt return. Result - Chargers ball, somehow. Again, we had replay after replay showing multiple fouls by the Chargers players be ignored by the refs and commentators even the the whole world sees it clearly.

This is just this year's stuff and already it is filling up with crap that you won't find called against any other team.

 

[Diehardblues]

I never once said anything about any conspiracy theories. It never was mentioned. That is what you referee apologists are coming up with because you can't explain the double standard and biased calls by the referees.

Your title would suggest and be accusing there’s a conspiracy against the Cowboys.

“ helping other teams beat the Cowboys”

Not only would that be a conspiracy it would be illegal activity throwing games.

Video illustrating poor judgment and inconsistency in officiating isn’t evidence of such. It only supports fans accusations which otherwise hold no validity of intentional wrongdoing.

 

[NotForLong]

we lost, there were some missed calls but we lost...could have still won there at the end - cant blame the refs, bad calls / non calls happen all the time.

With all due respect . . . You can not claim That we could have sill won. . . Who is to say they were done throwing BS calls or making BS Non Calls. . . The Refs still could have factored into a game winning TD by throwing a flag to negate that

 

[Diehardblues]

This is just another “ the world is against us “ narrative derived from sour grapes in an excuse making attempt to divert from the core issues why we lost the game.

Poor judgment , questionable and inconsistency in officiating has always been a part of the game.

Let me guess, this impartial officiating with everyone against the Cowboys didn’t begin until after we won our last 3 Super Bowls.

This is where you are wrong . . . There is a Federal Court Case that the NFL won based upon the fact that The NFL is Entertainment and not Sport. . . Whereas throwing games in MLB is Illegal because they , unlike the NFL, are legally classified as a Sport

Also due to modern Group Think the Term Conspiracy Theorist is given a Negative Connotation and those who use the Term constantly give an Air of Superiority when they do so . . . In the Age of Mass Information the Term Conspiracy Theorist was invented to close minds

It’s true; the refs could have negated a td. I think my point was more that the refs are always going to make bad calls, and there were plenty on both sides, so we can’t blame them…the officiating in the nfl as a whole is broken

I’m aware of the ruling designating the NFL as an entertainment entity. But there are billions of dollars wagered on the NFL. And any “ attempt throwing of these organized entertainment (games)” would fall under illegal intent .

This is an extreme point of view. Officiating does factor in. You choose to turn a blind eye to it and now are campaigning your point of view as the only one. . . Who is you?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I resigned from my moderator position for a number of reasons - most of them personal - but part of it was this silly fan base.

The Cowboys never lose, they just get screwed. I'll cherry pick a couple plays - ignoring everything else that happened in the game - and cry foul.

We was robbed! So sad, desperate, and pathetic. This fan base has become softer than Charmin. There's always an excuse.

Yep.

We have the dumbest fanbase in all of sports.

Why? The NFL has set a precedent based upon a case involving the NFL of influencing the outcome of games . . . Who is gonna sue? Which Lawyer would waste their time? The Fed has already ruled on the subject

 

[starfrombirth]

You could easily make a composite on missed holding calls on the Eagles D-line, the roughing the passer on Lawrence's "tackle" at Hurts' knee, hands to the face on Eagles D-linemen, the unnecessary roughness on a Dallas player kneeing Kelce in the head on a running play after the play was over. It goes on and on. Most people agree you could probably call holding on EVERY.SINGLE.PLAY in the NFL if you wanted to. At some point the players need to step up and play.

Dlaw was TACKLED by the olineman into Hurtz. By all rights they should have been called for holding on that play as well. Are you really saying that dlaw should have been penalized? Ridiculous!

It’s always been a problem . It’s why we have had so many rule changes and instant replay reviews.

Personally I don’t believe a contest needs to be perfectly called. Initially instant replay was to only overturn calls which impacted the end of the game.

The fact we have every play so closely over analyzed is not how the game was intended to be played.

There’s a human element involved . These officials are already under such scrutiny because every play can be repeated time and time again. Just ridiculous. Let them play. Close used to be good enough.

You’re missing the point. If there was evidence officials are throwing games the gambling community would call for an investigation . I didn’t suggest a lawsuit.

The Casinos and Gambling Sites are in on it so they would never request an investigation The actual Gamblers would have to sign a petition to request Congress to investigate and that will not happen. Because It is entertainment like WWE, Music, Movies and Television. So cheating is just part of the Script . . . Literally


I understand your sentiment but an investigation would never happen because what they are doing is part of the Spectacle aka Entertainment

We as Fans are seeing a ridiculous amount of ridiculous calls because of AI, Quantum Analytics and Online Gambling . . . There are Ridiculous Calls on Both Sides during Games because Bets are being placed all during the game and they are trying to generate action

 

[Diehardblues]

This goes both ways, you know. These same refs helped Dallas get into position to pull the game out and our stellar offense blew it.

“ helped” isn’t the right word. Although since it was a judgement call it didn’t have to be called. We’ve seen much more blatant ones not called

Some would argue since they were the right calls that it wasn’t help. The argument is that the poor or questionable calls are hurting us or helping the opponent. Correct calls as they see in their mind is the norm.

These judgement calls are always going to be questioned . And part of the game. There’s a normal course for teams to follow filing complaints with the leagues officiating.
