Who ever said the refs would take it from us was absolutely right (Gifs & Audio/Post 83)

Did the refs block the punt that led to the only TD of the game?

No. But they did call a tripping call to make sure there was a punt

Lol.

It's like when they didn't call holding against D Ware because "the player ran through the hold."

Yep, the only time the Cowboys punted all day. The excuses never end in this place.

Was absolutely right. Not one but two bogus tripping calls. You can’t make this stuff up.

Apparently you can, since the refs allegedly took something away that the Cowboys never had - a lead in this game.

Execute a punt. Teams do it all the time. Dallas failed to do it once today and it handed NE the only TD of the game.

Doesn’t look like that at all. Pretty much the entire world is saying it was a terrible call. It was a terrible call.

They call that Stripping and only Roger Goodell could take the fun out of it.

Which calls won us games this year?

Where do I start?

We can cherry pick every call and claim that it won or lost us the game. We can go as far back as the laughable non PI call in the Detroit game or Dez not getting flagged for running on the field with his helmet off to argue with the officials but no one wants to talk about that. They just like to whine and complain about the Dez non catch in the following game against GB but don’t want to talk about why we got there (the officials).

There was a several page thread last year mocking the Saints fans for complaining about the officiating. Had we lost that game then there would have been several threads cherry picking each call and how it determined the outcome of the game along with NFL conspiracy theories but instead people laughed about it and said “the bad calls went both ways”.

More recently, one that stands out was the non PI call against Engram when the Giants had the ball in the red zone which could have changed the entire outcome of the game. That non PI call was followed by a PI call a few plays later against the Giants which was a joke compared to the non PI call against Engram. That PI call resulted in a TD IIRC whereas we would have had to punt the ball from within our own 10 yard line.

Those two calls and non calls resulted in a potential 14 point difference in the first half.

I'm not sure you're following. The only TD of the day came off a blocked punt necessitated by a tripping call. I'd say that speaks well to your theory.

Of course the Giants fan thinks his scrub team was robbed

I'll work past the first paragraph when I get a chance. I knew you'd bring up the Detroit game. Everyone does and they all ignore the fact Ebron initiated contact by shoving Hitchens in the face. Worst case scenario it was off setting.

Edit: Im not saying we dont get calls but for whatever reason officiating has hurt us more than helped us in the last few years. Yesterdays calls were absolutely detrimental.

Rainy and cold....late 4ths qtr...down 4 points...on your side of the field. 3rd and 1... yeah , lets pass.

Turned out a completed pass for what should have been a 1st down if not for the crooked officials. We all saw it.

So what's your point, because you're badly failing with your insinuation.

The holding call on Smith was pretty legit, but it is almost one that could be called on every play.

They let the Pack get away with their WWW wrestling blocking and call something like that ????

Yeah @aria is it cool to just shove a defender in the face while the ball is coming to you? Lion fans and ref apologist completely ignore that part of the play.

I have him on ignore but I'm sure he will argue its face guarding by Hitchens. WHich isn't a penalty in the NFL.

I could post several links that state otherwise. Again, we can cherry pick every call and make excuses, had that call been the other way around there would still be people whining about how we got screwed by the officials.

Stop the whining and excuses.

Thanks for posting, it certainly explains a lot....Specifically it states that they can fix games legally like WWE and Roller Derby because the NFL is a sports entertainment commodity, unlike the NBA, MLB and Hockey.

No, we don’t get calls, do we? Go ahead and ignore this, just like all the other calls and non calls that go our way. god forbid we acknowledge that we’re not always the victims of NFL officiating bias.
