Sorry misread... Cavanaugh said Hogwash and Jerry agreed.

I think that the holds called on Tyron are 100% evidence that the league conspires against the Cowboys.
I have resisted that forever, but there's just no way the same bs calls can be made against him over and over again, and the Cowboys' opponents never get the same call.
This one has me confused. Are they saying that when a player is considered good the refs conclude that he must be cheating to be so good? That seems backwards. If you're a scrub player and you neutralize an All-Pro consistently, then wouldn't it be logical for someone to conclude that the scrub must be doing so by cheating because the other player is elite (if you're a conspiracy loon, that is)?
Can you show a detailed video replay of a hold called against Tyron and break down why it is not a hold on any one of the calls by the rules in place?
Actually both work against us, but never for the other teams.
Been proven over and over time and again, throughout the past 10 years or more.
We got a few our way against the Saints and Eagles, but they got some their way also. So at least those emend out for once. They usually do not.
Like where were the OL holding calls against the Colts that were not called. For many other games as well.
The third one is old, but same thing. None of these are holding by the standards that NFL referees call them. Hands grabbing shoulder pads within the frame is not the standard for a hold. You can call that on every play, probably on more than one OL.
But beyond the calls themselves - the problem is that they are not called both ways. They've been very ticky tack against the Cowboys, and not against other teams.
Some more that are nonsense calls in the same way
I'll never forget the day that the refs threw a flag and called holding on a tackle for holding Ware, and then waved it off because Ware "ran through the hold." This is the same thing. THe Cowboys - Tyron in particular - are being penalized for being stronger than the guys in front of them.
This is the thing. Nothing is ever "proven." It's suspicion taken straight to gospel truth with nothing to back it up. Throw in a few supposition stats and that just serves as confirmation bias. Why can't it ever be that officials are too few to adequately monitor all 11 matchups?
I just did break them down. On all of them, hands are within the frame of the defender and on the shoulder pads. It's very simple.Again, I asked YOU to break down why it wasn't a hold, not some random internet dude saying it wasn't. This is what's never done by those claiming Cowboys victim status.
But anyways, on the first one, I agree it's not a hold on Tyron but could be on Martin in the background (would need to see a reverse angle as to how his man fell) so maybe it was a miscall on the number by the official? The second one is crappy detail but it looks as if Tyron grabbed the OL's collar as he reached towards the runner going past them. That's what they call "restriction" and should absolutely be a hold by the rules. Easy to call since Zeke ran right next to them. Not even going to debate an old one. This thread's about this year.
For sure, at least call the holds on la'el....a lot fewer people would complainI think that the holds called on Tyron are 100% evidence that the league conspires against the Cowboys.

That is your opinion. But some is so obvious.
Like the wide open face mask with a picture of the ref looking right at it. From the Steelers game in 2016 on Beasley. No call, could have cost us the game.
But yet the official, I think the same one, seen the face mask on Witten in the middle of a lot of players.
More refs would not have meant a thing there.
but I do agree, they need about 3 more refs out there.
When they moved the back judge, I think that is what he is called. From where the LB's are, to behind the LOS, it seems to have became worse from that point as to missing a lot of calls.
So why not use different players to make it not so obvious?I think that the holds called on Tyron are 100% evidence that the league conspires against the Cowboys.

Use worse players so that they don't call nonsense penalties? What?So why not use different players to make it not so obvious?

I don't necessarily had those being called holds, in a vacuum, but they NEVER go the other way. I'd need to look it up, specifically, but how do those against Dallas get called, but their opponents went like 10 straight games without a single holding call two years in a row?
This thread is not about this year, because the holding nonsense goes back to last year.
