Am i the only one who is utterly amazed at the officiating in this game? That push on witten the romo horse collar the hands in the face of ware, all in front of a ref! I swear they were giving Manning the game today. Im not making excuses romo should never have thrown that ball. But at the end of the day, WHY WERENT WE RUNNING? Feels like the detroit game all over again.

I was disgusted when I saw the replay on Witten. There was a ref looking right at him and he still didn't call it.

The refs clearly wanted Denver to win.....................just saying.

The refs were horrible, however, this was no where near that Detroit game. Disagree completly with that part of the original post.

Let's not forget the no call on the Intentional grounding on Manning. Officiating was absolutely awful in this game.

Wonderful fans who said last week we don't get terrible calls please comment.
Particularly on the horse collar. ( a call I've never college or pro seen missed)

Ps. I hate you reguardless of the content of your comment.

Thank you

Forget it. Mike Pereira said on Twitter it was not a horse collar but I too thought it was. He said no.

As if playing vs the top offense in NFL history *arguably* isn't enough, the refs wanted to make it just a little bit harder.

- multiple holding plays
-Denver's first TD I could of swore Ernie Sims got an arm around his neck
- Sean Lee's PI was very debatable...
- Holding on Denver's Offensive line..
- Push on Witten
- Manning's should of been intentional grounding could of made them punt, etc.

I saw many times where our guys got tackled by their offensive line when Knowshon cut to the outside. I am sorry but Knowshon is not that good of a RB to do that without holds.

Yes. There were some very extremely blatant uncalled holds.


Those who say it goes both ways please show the clips where Fox was protesting.

As bad as the noncalls were, not reason why this game was lost.

It's hard being fair when you have on Manning boxers!

Yea, clearly biased officiating in this game. Now I am not saying it was to hurt Dallas, but maybe more to help the Broncos so the NFL has their poster boy going for an undefeated season.

Now if we get screwed next week on calls like this.............then I may start thinking there is something to this conspiracy theory about how the league hates Dallas and Jerry and is using the refs to get even.

The refs don't care. McCauley and his crew just aren't that good.

How can a ref be 5 feet from a receiver that gets pushed out of bounds and not throw a flag? We are not talking a little hip bump, we are talking two handed shove in the chest and Witten goes flying out of bounds. The ref just stands there looking.

If this is not intentional, how the hell can he keep his job being this bad? We are talking about missing a blatant call 5 feet in front of you.

I hear you. I just don't think it's intentional. I will say we seem to get the short end of the stick quite a bit, though. Maybe something subconscious that biases refs against us. But as for doing it intentionally, I don't buy it.
