Can Anyone Argue

[MrPeanutbutter]

I can argue if we had LeBron James we would win the NBA title.

That's because no other team has been stupid enough to do it before.

"Why is it unsportsmanlike conduct for an NFL player to enter a huddle and then leave the field? The league doesn't want teams to try to deceive defenses by using fake substitution patterns. If you send in a player that you're going to eventually pull off the field, the defense might be left with the personnel it wanted to go against that particular player. The league doesn't consider that strategy to be within the spirit of the game. The Cowboys were more likely confused than they were trying to deceive, but that is the rule."

Did you see the replay? He ran up, was , 'oh ****' and turned around. He wasn't in any huddle. Believe me, they aren't slick enough to be attempting to fool anyone.

It was total BS. I knew at that point that the mob was in control. Always have been, always will.

It wasn't even a huddle, they didn't huddle up yet. After that call I thought to myself that the NFL wants the Aaron Rodgers show to continue. They want a Patriots Green Bay Super Bowl.

Don't know if we would have won, but it was one of 3 crucial mistakes that made us leave 18 points on the board early in the 1st half. That ended up changing the outset of the game after our defense gave up 21 easy points. It would've been a whole other ball game if not for these 3 things:

1. Settling for a FG on 4th and 2 on their 30 on our first drive.
2. The Butler penalty putting us back from their 20 to the 50 on our second drive.
3. Williams dropping a ball that would've gotten us into their side of the field on our third drive.

Funny they wanted the same thing 2 years ago too. They know the Cowboys fans are here no matter what and the want fresh fans that only watch when certain teams are playing. Don't think for a second it isn't the truth. I bet Roger Goodell can tell us where Jimmy Hoffa is buried and where Bigfoot lives.

To be fair, Mo got away with a number of blatant holds. I thought it was a relatively fairly officiated game.

I thought so too up until the last two calls/no calls benefitted the packers.

You want to call PI on Brown?

Fine. Call the damn hold on Irving on the 30 yard pass to cook.

Yup. Mo, Carr and Dline were our weak links and IMO lost us the game. I don't care about a "non-spike." Our D should play defense for 30 seconds.

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

Wasnt the sole reason, but definitely changed the game... I get why the penalty is in place, but frankly the Cowboys werent even huddling. Everyone was standing around then Butler ran away. My blood is still boiling from the officiating.

To me they'd established what it took to get a DPI earlier and it wasn't that, and wasn't actually able to be called a DPI play anyway because the ball hadn't come out yet IIRC.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I thought the refs were terrible on both sides. I couldn't believe the holds they let Mo get away with. But goodness.......it was like the Packers did nothing wrong this game. I don't blame the refs though. But it sucked watching us gain momentum just to watch as the refs take it away each and every time.

It hadn't left Rodgers hand. But usually they just judge it by the ball being in the vicinity-- as in, did the defender actually cause the receiver obstruction when the catch was imminent.

It was illegal contact. You can't call pass interference for an uncatchable ball. That just doesn't make any sense.

 

[robbieruff]

Well, I remember one play where Mo held Adams so badly that his shoulder pads popped out his jersey, and that didn't get called.

That was O'scan wasn't it?

Sounds like blaming the refs, which I'm fine with a little here.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

The reason we don't see it is because no other players are stupid enough to do it.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Each did on a seperate player neither were called.

But any time the refs miss a call that should have been on the Cowboys Buck and Aikman make sure and highlight it while the opponents missed calls are ignored by them, screw them.

 

[jamesdojr]

It seems like they played just like they talked during the week. "We will treat this like any other game" (paraphrasing). I can't tell you how much that concerned me. Well, they played like it in the beginning. Where the hell did this mentality come from in the first place?

Good point because I remember feeling uneasy with everyone saying it was just another game... it's not just another game. That mentality coming in is dangerous when the other team is looking at it MUCH MORE than just another game... and typically , causes you to be down by oh let's see... 18 out of the starting gate.

We finally realized... it wasn't just another game.

Nope, Mo. Well, maybe Scandrick did it too, and again, it wasn't called.

 

[Zordon]

Nah that was OScan. Mo had his issues too.

 

[CyberB0b]

I am 100% sure Mo pulled Devonte Adams' jersey out of his pads.

Garret doesn't have his teams ready to play in win or go home games. The team came out flat and it took a qtr or so to wake up. I don't think Garret is ready for primetime. He can't coach with the big boy coaches in the league. As I said before hopefully Jerry doesn't waste Dak's and Zeke's careers the way he wasted Romo's and Witten's trying to train his coach.
