It just goes to show you that a few untimely penalties and the officials missing calls in your behalf can really even out a game in a hurry.

176 yd rushing 200 and some yards passing no interceptions no fumbles no sacks our quarterback played pretty much a perfect game.

Our defense got I don't know how many sacks and a pick at the end of the game.

How could the game have been this close. With the personnel we had we couldn't really have played a better game. Jerry needs to use his power and influence and have a discussion with the powers to be in the league and go over those videos that show the officiating is flat out against us unless he's on board with it because it keeps viewers watching the game

It was close because Rush was only good enough to win. Which is fine for now. On 3rd and long he wasnt good. Some of those deep balls were off and Lamb dropped an easy one. And the refs screwed us in this game.

I don't think it's out of the realm of feasibility to believe that Jerry would do what he believed would be right for the league over what would be right for the Cowboys.

Look up why Jerry was inducted into the pro football Hall of Fame Jerry provides the NFL with leadership in marketing sponsorship television stadium management and labor negotiations.

Usually when something goes wrong for the Cowboys they flash to Jerry's box That was not happening last night with these no calls leads me to believe that the look on his face wasn't the one they were looking for.

There's no conspiracy theory it's just all about money and anyone who thinks that Jerry doesn't put money as the absolute top priority is really just kidding themselves.
I'm pretty sure every owner in the league holds money as their top priority. That's why they're owners. For most, if not all of them, the team is an investment first and leisure second.

Not only needs to send those horrific calls to the NFL FO, but needs to pressure them as well somehow, or be in their ear constantly until thongs change.
MM needs to be in their ear during the game as well.

Now that OPI on the NYG seemed a bit far fetched, but no where near a make up call costing us a TD.

Can we Fans do anything, may be time us cowboy fans take it up to Goodle and Mara, we can influence using social media

We’re going to be in dog fights all year because we can’t generate much offense and we continue to commit too many penalties. We keep shooting ourselves in the foot with drive killing penalties. The Giants had some penalties go against them last night so don’t give me this crap they all went against us. Our defense is winning games for us.

Dropping a wide open bomb for a TD contributes as well.
Yep can't get that one back there is absolutely no excuse for that in an NFL receiver That ball could not have been any more perfectly thrown.
I don't even think Ronnie could have found anything wrong with that ball. Lol

Can e-mail or call the NFL. But doubt that does any good.
Maybe call out the bad calls on social media to every news source and team, and the NFL, and keep doing it.

Flood the market with the proof. Not just making statements. At least it gets out there.

Like that old saying…keep feeding someone crap and tell them it is steak, eventually they will buy into it.
You know like Jerry keeps telling us we have talent for years. But no one believed him. :laugh:
so maybe it will not work.

Rush was more than good enough to win.

How much better would he have looked if Lamb actually caught the deep ball and the refs actually called holding and pass interference..
He would look at least 14 points better

The deep drop by Lamb was bad. Surely that is probably another TD.

The look on the ref's face when he had to call intentional grounding said it all! He looked like he was about to cry
He was obviously in pain making that call. Like someone was crushing his pills.

I try not to promote conspiracy theories regarding the refs, but that was the most one-sided game I can remember.

Nope.

Lamb catches that pass it's a TD. That's 7 points.
The refs do their job and call that PI in the endzone. That's 7 points.
The refs do their job and call that hold when they blocked Noah Brown on his route. That's AT LEAST 3 points.
When we were up 10 and Quinn for some reason decides to sit Parsons and Tank until the Giants get into FG range and then put them in. The Giants may not have gotten anything.

We should've won that game by AT LEAST 17.
That dropped pass was inexcusable. I think CeeDee has tendency to be nonchalant with easy catches.
The PI....the refs definitely missed it, but they're human....what are you going to do? I think bad calls go both ways.

Was a wasted drive on the sure TD drop from Lamb. Maher missed a long FG. SEVERAL strange penalty flags. Including a OPI on sheppard I am still trying to figure out. And a big time hold on Brown that was more of a pure tackle not called. A few on Parsons.

I don't think the game being close is going to be a convincing argument for the league to do anything about the officiating. It takes things that make the league look real bad like a missed pass interference in a championship game. A few missed calls during a regular-season game hasn't caused the league to go out of business thus far, so there's little motivation to fix it.

It's a problem for receivers who are big on RAC like he is. When the catch is easy, their minds have already moved on to what they are going to do after it. Reaching that point where you understand the focus has to stay on securing the catch first isn't always easy for some players.

Division games are usually close
But penalties and terrible missed penalties kept it close

Those non calls were reponsible for costing the Cowboys additional points. Add those points and tge Cowboys are running the clock out ... .

The Cowboys are gonna be nice this year
