NFL: two tripping penalties shouldn’t have been called

[nightrain]

I would like to see suspensions for crap officiating.....or blood.

 

[kevinhickey]

At least they admitted it.

I just hope the Cowboys are spending as much time working on their special teams as they are talking to the league office.

Should be fined as much as if a player called them out about it.

I'm sure America's top-cop...Mr Law and Order goodell is on the case....workin long hours to make sure this never happens again.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that had the two calls not been made it wouldn't have made any difference in the outcome.

There is no way to say those two calls took points off the board.

And there is no way to say we wouldn't score at least 2 FGs. Meaning 6 points .. meaning 15-13

Let the game flow and let us see the outcome ... Just because we were given the loss don't assume we would come short. Their defense might have done so too. In both those drives they did not show sign they could stop us and we were rolling

NFL had no choice but to admit it was wrong. There were people in the media who are noted for slamming the Cowboys that thought the calls were atrocious.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

It actually makes it worse when they acknowledge it was the wrong call after the fact.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Fix was in.

Lol, I am very specific about the fights I choose to argue just for that reason.

Or a pound of flesh.

 

[zerofill]

Really surprised they admitted that... I figured they would say it wasn't right or wrong, it was a subjective call made by the refs.

our drive continues with 1:45 to go and we were at our 40. Sure we might not have scored, but we know that Dak never gives up and likely we would have gotten close to a TD.

I've never seen a bigger example of a rule literally being invented on the spot.

This needs investigation.

Yep, I agree, it would also encourage officials to confer with each other and change the call if another official see's it differently.
Currently, they are afraid to over rule each other.

And that dork Fox has as their "Expert" actually defended both of them while Troy trashed it. He's a company men and won't dare go against the refs on how they call games for the Patriots and against Dallas. He's a hack along with every "ref expert".,

Screw this league. We don't need your weak a.. apology. Every person who follows this sport knew those were not penalties.

But these refs don't care. This is a part time job for them. They are never held accountable. NFL does not care as they love the talking points.

 

[Satchel89]

I get it when people say that the Cowboys can't use it for an excuse but 2 huge penalties that should of never been called that potentially affected the outcome of the game is sickening. It's not like the Patriots were that much better. A blocked punt won the game for them and hard to believe that the Special Teams are that bad but I'm not surprised that Garrett gets Outcoached again

 

[cowboyec]

I'm sure gutless goodell will continue to
PROTECT
THE
SHIELD

I know I feel safer.....with America's Chief Law Enforcement Officer on patrol.

It reminds me of the LP "ball movement" vs the Commanders awhile back.

Makes me believe that the Refs intentionally make these bad calls, knowing that they won't face any type of consequences for making these potentially game changing calls that could influence the outcome of NFL games.

Tell Mike Pereira and his Tony Soprano friends.

First thing that came to mind

Pereira is awful

One can only imagine the keystone cops that would investigate it. Lol
