They are still mad that the refs followed the rules, and refused to help the Lions trick the Cowboys. Frankly, I'm still amazed that we didn't get screwed on that play.

They didn't though unless you think multiple people went over to talk to the refs and none of them bothered to mention the thing that multiple sources have said that they said, and would be the only reason to go over to the refs.
 
In other words, they circled this game before the season started. Careful, Campbell. You may be on top of the pole now, but don't get arrogant because things can change pretty quickly. That's what I always admired about Landry, Nolls, Walsh, Parcell, Belichick, and a couple of other great ones. No matter how good they were or how much they were winning, they always showed gamesmanship and never tried to embarrass their opponent. Yes, I know the old cliche, win the game if you don't wanna get embarrassed but still....
 
The Lions were cheated last year because the old fart ref got confused. The beat down the Cowboys got this year was well deserved and meant to make a statement that the Lions are the better team. It's sickening how these Cowboy fans talk SB every year and how they compare Dak to Mahomes. Jerry Jones is doing a helluva job marketing this garbage.
 
Just goes to show you how fast we have fallen in the NFL. That wasn’t even a year ago that we beat them. The D had two picks on Goff that day as well. They know they tried to pull a fast one and got caught. We won the game fair.

But we have fallen mightily. The big thing I really see with this bunch is no confidence.

The Lions sent 3 lineman to the ref to confuse him, an OL staying between the ref and the guy who actually announced, another OL coming on the field and acting as though he was going to report as he had all game long.

The refs are required to announce any eligible receiver. When he announced the wrong #, DET knew it, the onus was on them to fix that. Except they didn't have time, their little ruse had eaten most of the playclock. DET fooled the refs as they had hoped they would, and in the confusion, thought the refs would admit the mistake was theirs and give them the TD. As undisciplined as the Cowboys' D is, they simply had no reason to cover an OL who hadn't been announced. The only reasonable call to make in the spirit of the game was the one they made, even if the ref had realized he announced the wrong #.

Thank you! I'm glad someone understands this. Regardless of what the Lions were trying to do, the ref called out the eligible linemen numbers and that's the end of it. The Cowboys also didn't cover the C, or the G's. None of them were eligible. You don't cover ineligible receivers as they are INELIGIBLE to catch the ball. They can feel like the Cowboys screwed them or the refs screwed them or Rowdy screwed them but the fact remains the same. They screwed themselves. And it's not like that was the last play. They still ran another attempt. They could've kicked the FG to tie. It's not like that penalty ended the game.
