It's very embarrassing.

I mean, its just the mindset of a locker room full of guys that are babied.

When things don't go right it's somebody else fault. Why work or play harder when, in your delusional mind, you're just going to get screwed over by the refs?

They are a bunch of loser, not all of them, but it doesn't need to be all of them to bring the whole team down. It's rotten to the core.
yes and they are overconfident and think too highly of themselves. This is their downfall.

What players were complaining??

That official behind them is looking right at it.
Well it is a possibility the refs had been told to keep the game under 51 and for dallas to not cover and or even lose.

The reason for that only the nfl and bookies know.
There is some creedence to the nfl wants certain teams in playoffs, maybe in certain seeds so they get the matchups they want.
What is better for ratings, dallas playing phil twice in a row or Dallas vs Ariz again?

It is possible they didnt see the hold, and also that they did and just chose not to call it.
It looks like they saw it, from that angle, but you cant tell where their eyes are actually looking and one ref is behind the guy holding.

Bottom line is, this is the nfl they give us, and you can take it or leave it. you cant change it.

Yeah they made a difference but overall, good teams don't put their team in position to have penalties affect the outcome.

Yep pretty pathetic even for the biggest of Homers......

The cardinals aren’t a better team, every single thing went their way and we still came back to tie the game

Here’s a closer look if you don’t believe this is holding idk what to tell you:



The Cardinals are clearly a better team than us. They won on the road despite missing multiple players, including one of the best WR’s in the game.

We are going to see them again in 2 weeks and we should expect the same kind of outcome unless we play at our best.

And I don’t like bellyaching about bad calls. Calls are missed both ways in every game. That’s part of football and tends to even itself out over the course of a season.

Another Cowboys year of why they didn't make it to the Superbowl. It was the Refs, Garrett, Jerry's fault ...No it was the fans for believing. As usual only person that wins each year is Jerry $$$$.
Superbowl? The playoffs have not even started yet and there is also still one game left in the season. Am I happy they lost?....of course not but we won the division with 3 weeks left in the regular season. I think this season has been fun to watch regardless. Would I like them to play like the 90's team? Again, of course but that is also not the case. We have at least 2 more weeks of Cowboy football. Let's enjoy it for goodness sake. :)

Agree.

The Cowboys didn’t lose yesterday’s game due to the refs.

The Cardinals were the better team by a comfortable margin.

Cardinals are not better by a comfortable margin. Dallas played like crap for almost 3 quarters and still had a chance to win in the final minutes.

Because of the refs? No. Did the refs have an influence? Absolutely. Refs missed a blatant hold in the endzone that would have given us a safety. 3-2 score and we get the ball back. They missed a clear fumble at the end. As well as a delay of game and false start before the play got off. Any big run we had was called back for phantom holds. Arizona was allowed to hold all game. And this goes on every single game we play. We get called for DPI for the same exact thing Arizona gets away with in the endzone to Cooper the play before we scored with Gallup.

Some of you go out of your way to dismiss crappy refs and how they influence games so you can stand on your high horse.

80% of NFL games comes down to the last few possessions. How are big calls not going to influence close games? Especially calls that deny a team a chance to get the ball back.

Please. please tell me the missed calls that went our way. This is generic speak you people love to throw out. Teams are allowed to hold our pass rush constantly. EVERY game. And we get called for phantom holds, especially on big plays. It has been going on forever now.

And no, it has not even close to evened out over the season. Again, generic speak with no proof to back this up.

How about the blatant push off by TB on the final drive to get them in fG range on opening night? Not called. Yet we get called for something 10x less and hand fighting and a flop the year before to open the season against the Rams.

You people keep throwing out these comments that have no merit at all. If you watch the dallas games and don't see the bias in how they are called differently, then you are either blind, naive or burying your head in the sand to try and be that "oh no refs don't ever have an influence" guy.

Haha.

I lurk on a Giants forum occasionally to see what they are saying and the posters there are convinced the Cowboys get every call and have the refs in their back pocket because the NFL wants the Cowboys to do well because it means higher tv ratings.

Want an example of a call that gifted us a win than just look at the Chargers game where the refs gave Parsons a sack on Herbert even though he clearly threw the ball away while he was backpedaling. Jim Nance said, “Wow! That was awful quick to call in the grasp.” And he was right.

We have nobody to blame but ourselves for the Cardinals loss. We weren’t sharp. If we play like then in 2 weeks the Cardinals will bounce us from the playoffs.

I believe the Saints complained about the refs during their last two playoffs losses. It happens and it's frustrating to players.

It's not good and they've gotten onto a bad habit of doing this after a loss, it's better if you look at yourselves in the mirror and make changes.

What's really embarrassing is the state of NFL officiating. These guys should just bite their tongues and let this crap keep going the way it has been?? Nah, the complaints should only get louder until the league has no choice but to fix their ****. It's not the Cowboys complaining BTW, it's league wide.

There is some truth in that because going all the way back to the beginning, the hardest thing for the typical Cowboys fan to admit was the other team was just better or at least played better.

I know fans that blame the losses to the Steelers on the call on Barnes against Swann or the Jackie Smith drop.

I believe this all comes down to the response Aikman gave the reporter when asked if Dallas is a good sports town. "Dallas is a good winners' town". I think that feeling also is allowed to permeate this team.

Has the team of officials that missed the pass interference call in New Orleans been scheduled to work another game in Louisiana?

Even the team is looking for excuses. McCarthy was yapping about the officiating yesterday in his presser.
