Has the league admitted screwing up by not reviewing Dak's TD?

I mean come on—what are we doing? Is this really the world we live in now where observable facts are questioned in a seemingly serious way?

Just an innocent question.

Can you see the goal line in the pic? One other poster says he can’t and I’m wondering if I’ve officially lost my mind.

Just an innocent answer...we are Cowboy fans...we stick up for our team. That's what we do...everyone perceives situations different.

There is no right or wrong with that play because it is over and done...I can't see the line because I was not there at the time.

I don’t get it?

The painted goal line wasn’t there when?

It’s a dark wide shadow and the ball isn’t visible. You really should let it go.

I haven’t followed this thread that closely. It’s moving fast. It was a TD but whatever with all the technicalities.
I agree it was a TD, but I disagree that the refs had it in for us. If they did, calling the face mask in OT would've almost certainly cost us the game.

Well, the premise is they stink and have it out for us. So, them missing that call is standard.

I never claimed, nor do I believe there was any bias. But if you look at the video from earlier in this thread, it's pretty clear that he got in. Even if you can't actually see the ball, any part of him that could possibly hold it was over the line. At some point, common sense needs to prevail.

You can see the ball pretty clearly here, and they would've seen it too...if they had bothered looking.

Yeah it looks like he was in before his knee could have touched.
and yeah it should be reviewed, but since it wasnt a scoring play lol it wasnt.
I think they should review any play that is a potential score.
I have seen several teams score, but it wasnt ruled a td and no review even though announcers thought they were td's

I think the reason for the constant new rules, "points of emphasis" rule changes, is so they can call a penalty any time they want
or rule badly, and blame it on the rules.
I am begining to think many of these games are rigged, the nfl wants a certain outcome and they use various means to get the outcome they want.
It is all about vegas money bets, and ratings on tv and making their "product" entertaining and talked about, like you guys are in this thread and others.

It isnt about wanting dallas to lose, it is about a certain outcome , and if that hurts dallas so be it.
I think they were trying to keep the game close. and good way to do that is eliminate some dallas scores lol.

You got that right, and when you bring that up, all of a sudden the 'spiricists turn ref lovers and state, "Oh, it was just a minor one that shouldn't have been called." Brown actually pulls him in 2 separate directions here and hinders him from breaking back towards the ball. Clear foul. Less than 11 refs can't cover 11 matchups, although outside receiver matchups should be caught. We got burned in Tampa and got away with one here. Just how it goes.
