given how often we are screwed over royally, I never feel dirty when a call that early in the game benefits us. We would have won the game anyway.

They go up 7-0 out of the gate, and it could have been a very different game. The Dallas offense was terrible for three quarters.

Because I’m not a subjective homer that constantly whines and claims conspiracy anytime something doesn’t go our way? I know that’s a tough concept for some of you to grasp, it requires taking off the blue shaded glasses, not always playing the “poor me/us” angle and being objective. You should try it sometime, you may actually be happy with the results and won’t sound like a cry baby, no offense.

I never remember you ever defending the team. Hell, iirc, you were calling for Zeke to be kicked off the team even though he did nothing wrong.

I don’t like Zeke off the field, I don’t like Beasley on or off the field, I don’t like Iriving off the field. I hated the Hardy signing. Just because I don’t like certain players as people doesn’t mean I don’t like them as players. Again, your homerism is laughable, you would support Satan if he wore the Star.

If you actually kept up with my thoughts on Zeke you would know I have said multiple times I think he got screwed (once all the evidence came out). I also think he’s a knucklehead and was absolutely, 100% guilty of laying the DJ in the Dallas night club out. I think he’s a great player but a liability off the field and I’ve always held out hope (still do) that he would mature as time went on. So far he seems to be doing an ok job.

I’ve never denied we’ve had bad calls go our way but I don’t think it’s exclusive to us which is where we differ (amongst many other things). You have constantly belly ached about every bad thing that happens to us, get over it, the entire NFL sucks and every team has a legitimate gripe about something.

"constantly", surely you jest

btw, great way to try and deflect

buy some glasses

It is likely that he did not touch the ball but it appears from all the shots displayed during the game that his thumb could have touched the ball. The video was inconclusive so the call should have stood as called, which was a fumble.

post number 5 in this thread has the multiple angles, go watch the video, it's crystal clear the ball did not touch him, it's conclusive!

The call could have went either way. I'm sure if the Cowboys were involved in that play, the call would have been against the Cowboys.
Yeah, it sure looked like he didn't touch it when you considered both views, however, one could have easily made the case that there was no clear evidence so the call stands as called.

Deflect what? Was I not clear enough in my response and/or are you just to lazy to read my post history instead? Talk to me babe, what do you want to know?
