Lol because those were the Correct calls. They also missed blatant face masks on zeke and a chokehold on micah.

And yeah they actually did give them the first down it wasn’t until replay stepped in they had to move it back. Calling a correct call isn’t what I call being helped out by refs. :rolleyes::huh:

And real losers let bad calls and say it's just part of the game.

Letting yourself get cheated doesn't make you a man, it makes you a sucker. Or if you prefer a cuckold. It makes you a loser cause when you're cheated you tend to lose.

It's not an excuse because the truth is you can play poorly and still be cheated by bad officiating. You can execute badly and still be cheated by bad officiating. You can fall way behind early and still get cheated by bad officiating.

Accepting bad officiating is what real losers do, because they will keep losing because of it because they'll come back for more rather than push for improvement.

Same loser mentality. I counted at least 4 times when SF ran for over 10 yards on 1st down and they were called back because of holding calls. Our calls were legit jumping offsides, hands to face etc. That’s on us, not the refs.

They took multiple 1st downs away from the 49ers for holds on big plays. Ours were legit jumping offsides. The ref blamers are pathetic

No reason to blame refs for this game. This was all on the players. That O-line needs to be blown up. Sorry Dak haters, He is gonna be a Cowboy for some time. BUT. To me, the biggest issue is that O-line. Top priority. Zeke needs to be put down a step. I know he is making millions, but, he just doesn't have it any longer. Sorry Zeke. WRs disappearing, only to show up and drop a ball. Lookin at you Deee.

Just a horrible time to have a pathetic showing at home, against a team that is going to get smoked next week.

Course, Dallas would be getting smoked next week as well.

So Dak is endorsing fans throwing trash at refs now? Maybe he is the one that should be playing in Philly…

At least Jerry blamed folks on his team, like he did post 2012 when he fired a bunch of coaches and let Jason Garrett’s brother and Hudson Houck go gracefully..

If history tells us anything, when Jerry is this angry, changes are coming..

I mean to me its telling after every big play you make its a penalty...meanwhile, Parsons is getting chokehold on the opposite end but NOTHING.

49ers got plenty of big runs called back on holding. Most of ours were legit offsides, false start etc. It was 3rd and 12 and we were about to get off the field when we basically treated their Olineman like a pez dispenser and put our hands in his face. That’s all on us.

Jerry pointing fingers at the people he hired/paid. Head coach and QB pointing fingers at the refs.

This organization has become so soft, and it starts at the top.

They're extravagant, have the best facilities, do HBO series, have the most games on national TV, and crap the bed in big games. How 'bout THESE Cowboys? :rolleyes:

This loss wasn't on the refs.

They were not ready to start the game. They were totally lost in the 1st quarter. Like they never played football before.

Then the spent the enitre game swimming upstream trying to catch up and fell short. Exactly like the 2016 playoff loss to the Packers.

As for penalties, all of them were legit except possible one or 2. This team is extremely undiscliplines

This is the second game straight where the coach, QB etc blamed refs. Dak told reporters “kudos to them” when he found out the fans threw debris at refs. McCarthy whined about “letting them play.” Sorry but this is what happens when a team has no backbone and sn owner allows excuses. It’s trash. Refs aren’t making your guys jump offsides or put hands to the face or have false starts. Trash attitude

it wasn't the refs.....the pre-snap penalties are our own fault. I don't as much mind when it happens during a play. sometimes you are just not good and you make mistakes. but pre-snap!!! and not just once, but 5 times!!! embarassing.

and we had plenty of chances to win this game, that one second on the clock last shot desparation had no gaurantee to work and if that's what they think cost them the game, then shame on them.

Bad calls and bad penalties have been a part of all sports since inception. Good teams win in spite of both.

No excuses. Team did not come with enough intensity, Dak seeing ghosts & Pollard terribly under utilized. But if you believe that game was called evenly on both sides of the ball, you would be mistaken .. particularly early and involving “holding.”

exactly, why was pollard not used more...he was clearly the better running back today...that's on Moore.

How any team can suck so badly and then try to blame the refs is beyond me.

The Cowboys current thinking.

“The culture of why we are great.

Look at our regular season stats.

Dak’s stats are some of the best not only for the current NFL but all-time.

Likewise, SB victories are ours as long as the NFL including its refs do not screw us.

Obviously we lost yesterday due to the referees.

We cannot win SBs if the world continue to go against us.

It is just not fair!”

I don't recall a penalty being called against Micah all game...they called those holdings on him?

And I agree....it was piss poor calls but a lot of them were legit. Gregory's was just on him. Pure stupidity. But its irritating when the refs get involved and called holding which occurs almost nearly every single play......

Its a weak culture, and Im disgusted at the entire franchise from Jerry to the groundskeeper.
Probably have more respect for the groundskeeper, at least he does his job..

I’m not sure if on Micah but I did count about 4 times when they had big first down runs…over 10 times..called back on holdings. I just don’t think we should feed into an excuse culture. We came out flat and got beat physically a lot of the time. Just looked sloppy.
