I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that had the two calls not been made it wouldn't have made any difference in the outcome.

There is no way to say those two calls took points off the board.

I think Dak would've definitely drove them down to the redzone. Don't know if we would've got a td though?

Where’s the guy who was telling me they were the correct call.

The NFL knew that they messed up when the NFL Officiating twitter account didn't even attempt to defend or explain the call, like they have done with some other controversial bad calls.

Add this one to the list of bizarre BS calls that have cost the Cowboys a chance to win games. Last years call on LP for spinning the ball before a game tying FG, Butler getting "Unsportsmanlike" for being in the huddle in the playoff game against GB, and if course.....Dez caught it. I guess we should be happy it wasn't a playoff game this time.

Conversely, there’s no way to say they didn’t

double edged sword

If officials are going to make blatantly bad calls at crucial times, they need to be held accountable.

If these letters were an infraction on their records and they were only allowed so many infractions per season then at least we'd see some accountability. Bump them from playoff, prime time ect. If that doesn't improve their performance bump them the hell out of the league.

That ref knew how rare tripping penalties occur yet he found it prudent to call 2 in one game. Guys like that shouldn't be reffing professional football games. Refs need to be graded out just like players and coaches. People's careers are at stake and the NFL is big business. Quit treating officiating like an afterthought.

Thank you NFL. We’ll use that “get into playoffs free” card at the end of the season if we miss by one game. What a joke.

Lots of talk on here about replacing our coaches, We can change our our coaches, players, whatever you want, but it's not going to change these bad calls going against us.

Wonder if Jerry regrets playing hardball with the refs during their holdout.

I bet a decent percentage of these weird calls are directly connected to his "The replacement refs are every bit as good as the regular refs" comment.
