I am going to keep bringing it up until it stops these Refs suck

[Don Corleone]

Greasy. Fishy. Foul. The league engineers the results it seeks.

The refs do seem to play into the parity equation, then issue apologies after the games are decided.

 

[Ratmatt]

Bingo. how do you not even look at last week Dez catch, and then call this week's a catch and fumble?(today Dez catch was a fumble in my opinion.so. just like last week was a catch. the bias is clear folks. if you refuse to believe it, i do not want to hear from you when it cause up a win and maybe a playoff birth. because if this keeps up it will.

If the Cowboys lose any games,or miss the playoffs,they will do it all on their own.They won't need any assist from the refs.

 

[ryanbabs]

Come on. That's a stretch imo. As a former Baseball Umpire I assure you at this level there is no official going out there and making calls based on their bias against the Boys. NO WAY. Do they make some bad calls? Sure. And sometimes it "feels" as if they are against a particular team. But again there is no way.....not when you have a system in place that evaluates EVERY GAME they do and their pay is based on how well they do. Your better than that....come on man!

How do you know the refs have a system in place and their pay is based on it? I've never heard of that. I've heard that the refs as a crew who do the best job get the playoff games, Super Bowl, etc.

 

[mahoneybill]

Doesn't excuse bad calls.
That fumble was not a fumble. Has Ware ever drawn a holding penalty?

I'm waiting for the competition committee to come up with the " neck tackle" penalty , named in honor of Ware and the way many O lineman deal with him

 

[PJDallasfan]

My opinion is if u are 8 yards deep in the end zone and are not Dwayne Harris u take a knee and start at the 20. Too many times I see someone bring it out and get tackled short of the 20, get a holding or block in the back penalty or fumble. Why is it so hard just to take a knee and start at the 20??

Why did the replay ref not look at the Dez catch last week then?and why did they see williams knee down, and still give the raiders that TD. it was clear he was down. and that OPI call on Witten was BS. how about the blant holding calls on Ware that were not called? yet we had a TD called back for holding.

 

[ThePlaymaker14]

To be fair, there was a play towards the end of the game where we were in the redzone and it looked like Tyron jumped offsides, and it was not called. The beginning was bad, as I saw the Twill play as something that would be easily overturned and also that DWare play where he got held was really bad. Other than those 2 I thought it was reffed fair and poorly.

 

[john van brocklin]

T. williams knee was down before that ball was ripped out. theylooked at it and still gave the Rasiders a TD. Ware was as blatant as it gets with the Ref standing right there looking at it, and still no call.yet we had a TD called back on a hold.(free did hold) all im saying is call it both ways.Ware and Hatcher were being tackled with no calls. and that OPI call on Witten was a joke. that was not OPI. i am sick and tired of these BS calls every week against the cowboys.this crap need to end. enough is enough.

Well you will be bringing it up forever.
It's been that way the 38 years I have been watching the game.
Unbelievable with the amount of money the NFL rakes in, that we cant have full time officials.
MINDBLOWING AINT IT ???

 

[BigStar]

Many folks who believe there is no ref bias in the league only refuse to do so because it would make them part of the "crazies" who believe in "conspiracy theorists" and their intellectual stubbornness will not allow themselves to be classified as part of this fringe group of people. I, am not one of these people. The refs are used to sway momentum more than anything. That is why ticky tack calls are called to even out the numbers of penalties before the end of games, but momentum changing flags/no flags is what they are more guilty of. We can all believe that most games in the league are THAT close every time, or that refs have a slight incentive to keep these things close?

It also interferes with the idea of "fair play" and the fact that they may have been had for so long is unacceptable to them.

 

[johnson2]

i would like to see someone with all22 make a vid or gifs with some of the blatant BS calls we have had this year. so many judgement calls (holding, pi, etc) either in crunch time or to bring back big plays. peytons intentional grounding, picking up the flag on our wr when feet got tangle then throwing flag on oscan when his feet got tangled same game, so many more this year where even the anti cowboy fans i am with when watching the game are saying its BS.

 

[calico]

Ware never gets thos holding calls. The league calls the game differently for different players. This is the first year in romos career where he actually draws roughing the passer calls and it's only because the league put an emphasis on it. He used to get roughed all night with no flag yet Brady gets breathed on late, looks at the ref screaming for a flag after the play and out it would come.

They ruled he hadn't completed the process before going to the ground. I'm not even sure you can review that aspect.

It's been so many that i would be here all night. but i will give it a try.
Kansas city game----that BS PI call against Mo on 3rd and 10 on the Chiefs last drive. that ended the game and allowed them to run out the clock. if the Cowboys get that ball back, i think we win that game.
Denver----the play before Romo threw that pick that lost the game, he was horse collard by a Denver D-Linemen, and they refused to call it.
Lions game-----Loins have no timeouts and can't stop the clock. what happens? they come up with a holding call on T. Smith. Lions get the clock stopped and ball back, and we know the rest of the story.
Giants Game-----Replay refs refuses to review Dez catch on last drive. refs refuse to call PI on NY DB who hit T> Williams on that bomb Romo threw him. after calling a BS PI call on mo that led to a Giants score.
the Chargers game----where 3 chargers back-up O-Linemen look like the greatest players on earth, because they were allowed to hold our D-Linemen around the neck all game with no call. and there are many more in games that we won. this is a sickening disgrace. and the sad/pitiful thing is that it is blatant. and they are not even trying to dress it up or hide it. something is very wrong here Cowboys fans.

Someone has crunched the numbers, and on average any team playing the cowboys has significantly fewer penalties than their average in all other games. Very strange that is.

Why am i not shocked? this crap has been going on for a while now. and some people want to act like they are not seeing what their eyes see.whatever Jerry did to piss off the NFL, they are getting him back now. this is just unreal. and it's happening in almost every game. i have a bad feeling that it may very well cost us the playoffs if it keeps up.Garrett needs to stop just standing there and throw a freaking fit.

Dallas' opponents are penalized more than the Cowboys are, on average.

If there's some sort of plan, they really aren't executing it all that well.

 

[SJRTX]

Also the holding on free that brough back that awesome Murray TD was BS. His hands were there but I never saw that jersey get pulled.

Just remember people, the cowboys are a love em or hate em team. And as many fans as we have, the fans of the other 31 teams watch just to see us lose or Romo get hurt. I'm starting to think the NFL is trying to walk a line to keep the haters interested. Gotta keep everyone watching ya know.

You sure? Someone broke down the numbers but that was over on CF a couple years ago.

http://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-penalties-per-game

Dallas #6 overall with 7.2 penalties called on their opponents per game.

http://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/penalties-per-game

Dallas #28 overall having 7.1 penalties called against them per game.

 

[SJRTX]

Well thanks for looking that up, I'd rather eat crow than spout wrong info. I wish I could find where I first read that and see what he used to come up with that stat. But CF suddenly turn iphone unfriendly awhile back so I said screw em. The posters here seem better anyhow as a whole.
