Blatant hold on Phin's last TD

[Future]

I'm pretty sure Ware gets held every time he speed rushes.

amazing how they missed that one right in the middle on Ratliff that easy for all to see, but they sure did eagle eye that one on Leonard Davis to wipe out Julius Jones' first down run...didnt look like Kosier had much of a hold either on the one he got called on

David

Everytime Davis pancakes somebody, they call it a hold. Meanwhile our DLmen are practically being tackled and nothing is said...

It was Ratliff who was being held. Very blatant, so I don't know why it wasn't called. It was almost as bad as the clothesline one of our guys got last week when he stunted up the middle -- Ware, I think.

The refs haven't been calling holds all year. That's not just the Cowboys, but around the league. They also let offensive tackles get away with more false starts as well as long as they are a slight false start.

Sheesh! It doesn't get much more obvious than that, guy hanging onto the throat of one of our players for 2 seconds and then actually spinning him around with the collar of the jersey prior to the pass. I think it was Raitliff that got held, but I'm not sure.

Ware gets held a ton out there. But so do a number of DE's. Dwight Freeney was held like 5-6 times so obviously in that 1st game against NO I thought it was a disgrace. I know we were ahead nicely, but somebody has to yell at an official (nicely of course, hehe) when they get that bad.

On Ware it's usually a hold right on the arm of the Jersey, the loose fold of cloth up high, that when tugged gives the QB that extra .5 seconds to get rid of the ball.

Nice to get 2 wins in a row to start the season especiallly filling the holes of our injured players right now.

I notice that as well, I kept waiting on the flag and none ever showed, but it was a big time take down on that play that should have been called but was evidently missed by the refs.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Maybe Ratliff ran through the attempted hold.

That still kills me :laugh2:

I was screaming from the upper deck about that call. The ref was right there. I think that may have been Tim Donaghy's brother. Looked like to me he was on the take.

 

[Jake0]

Yeah seriously, wouldn't be surprised at all if the refs were trying their hardest to let the dolphins cover their spread because their was big money riding on the cowboys. I can't think of any other explanation for the ref staring at the pocket when Ratliff was blatantly held and not doing crap. There were also other questionable calls/no calls but whatever, if our team can get a good win through ref bs then I think we're in good shape.

Obviously the refs were cheating.

If they were, Romo should have nailed the Umpire in the McNuggets.
