Be honest. Have you ever seen them wait to unpile the bodies before deciding to spot the ball, and then uncover the QB who is literally laying in the endzone AND still not call touchdown?? What the hell was that and why was there no replay??

Exactly what I said during the play. If you're waiting to make the call based on the pile up, he was completely in the end zone. We got porked. Still no excuse for not being able to create one hole in 4 plays.

I always admit when the refs stink. Like they did when they also missed that facemask on Brown, made that bad spot before the blocked punt, and the ticky tack holding they called that took 7 off the board for the Pats. It happens all around. The difference is I call it out for the other side too versus using a weak-azz conspiracy victim cry. That's pretty pathetic. So honestly, what's more laughable? Being objective or whining like a coddled child because you can't get your way. Except you're not a child, but a grown adult. Yes, laugh away. LOL.

Watch any NFL game. The officiating is pathetic all around. But it definitely affects outcomes. NFC championship game anyone? Given the league seems to have zero interest in improving it, they must want it that way.

Controversy does sell. No matter how many people say they're done with the NFL, etc., they never follow through with it. Plus you have on the fence fans who want to see what the commotion is about so then they tune in too. Was the immaculate reception bad for business?

Even Romo spoke about it. He knows first hand all the crap these refs pull against Dallas. And they absolutely do not call it both ways. They miss 2 clear hits the head/face against Dak. Ref clearly standing over Dak laying way over the goal line on 3rd down and did zero. These phantom holding calls they love to call to stall our drives whenever they want. It's pathetic. This game would have been a blowout had the refs not pulled their junk today. They desperately tried to give NE the win. That holding on the tying drive was disgusting. Romo said it was ticky tack.

I despise refs.

While forgetting that, under Garrett, this is the exact kind of game where we'd have gotten blown out, coach makes a litany of excuses, calls it a morale victory, claps, and proceed to the next week. Yet, we hung in there and won today. Was it pretty? No! Was it a win? Yes! Was it an improvement? Yes! I'm proud of this win!!

Oh, and according to Rex Ryan, we put up 567 yards on a Bill Belichick-coached defence! That's never happened before with Bely. That's impressive! Did some of you really think we'd have an easy time on offense? We're playing a mastermind, especially on defence, and we BEAT him and set a record against him.

I knew it was going to be bad after the opening kickoff. When was the last time you saw illegal double block called on a kickoff?

I completely understand not calling it a TD before clearing the bodies if they didn’t see it as it happened. You never call something if you don’t see it, or think you see it. But if you don’t see it and wait until the pile us cleared and then the ball is over and the player still has possession, that has to be called.

But I’m not going to fault the referees more than the Cowboys on this because they had 4 chances to clearly get a TD and take the zebras out of the equation and didn’t.

I'm not a blame the refs guy, never have been. And I'm not hung up on individual holding or hands to the face calls. But that third down sneak where Dak clearly got in and they didn't even take another look? I have no explanation for that. Nantz, Tony, the NBC SNF guys all thought he was in, so it's not just Cowboys homers.

Extremely fishy and the league owes everybody an explanation.

While it was a poorly officiated game if you think they don't have a watchful eye on the refs in a 15B business with online gaming on the increase, think again on that one.

They might be biased or incompetent but I don't think they're on the take.
