Cowboys vs. Refs

[GoJacks]

When that hold leads to Elliott being able to get outside, yeah, it's likely going to get called.

I am not sure which is funnier............. claiming officials are out to get the Cowboys or claiming since they let or miss other holds, ergo, they shouldn't call that one. Wut?

It wasn't a good

 

[MRV52]

Wow brah. Hope you dvr'd so you can rewatch it. The guy got bailed out by the refs plain and simple. That arm raise was nothing but flag baiting. This crew sucked last game and nothing has changed since.

I missed the play and started watching at end of 3rd, but the guys on Dallas radio said that it was a very bad call on Free.

 

[xwalker]

Or missed the obvious personal foul on the two pointer when Irving smacked Bradford in the head.

There really is nothing more embarrassing than whining about the officials............ especially when the calls appeared legit. The only bonehead one that I thought was possibly a stretch was the clip on Escobar. That was tight.

No, the most embarrasing thing in human existence is to have a Rowdy Avatar.

It absolutely was a good call. Escobar had a fistful of jersey and Robison tried to spin away and couldn't because Escobar was grabbing him. Yes, there have been more blatant holds that go uncalled but that's a lame excuse for suggesting they should have looked the other way on that call.

It was a hold. I think the questionable call on Escobar was the clip.

An animated Brian Robison took issue with officials for the lack of holding calls on the Cowboys' line and the hit on Sam Bradford that wasn't called on the Vikings' final two-point conversion. "This has been building up over the last few weeks," Robison said. "I know I'm probably going to get fined, but at some point, somebody has to stand up and say something."

Oh you mean the generic avatar they give you here?

Sorry I didn't nerd it up like you did trying to find a clever picture for my screen name.

I should probably go curl up in a ball and cry now.

At least it started to even out. It was beginning to look awfully fishy.

That's what they do when it gets too unbalanced, usually the damage is done by then.

I'm not much for the conspiracy theories, but the calls this game just didn't feel right. A lot of questionable calls and conveniently called penalties on big plays. It would be awfully interesting to see the Cowboys vs the Giants playing for the division lead next week.

When you have a league that has been dealing with ratings drops, setting up a division lead game in week 14 between the Cowboys and Giants... that's got to be attractive to the advertisers/networks the NFL are trying to reassure.

Why can't I remember the Free hold? I seem to recall Collinsworth wondering about a hold call that didn't look like a hold, and I think that was the Free hold, right?

 

[CWR]

So the biased refs overlooked a false-start on the Vikings, allowing our d-lineman to rush Bradford and blatantly smack him in the head without throwing the easy flag?

So how are the refs out to get us again?

Lol its crappy officiating plain and simple and most of it has gone against us. Im not sure which games you are watching but its pretty obvious.

Did you watch the game in a bar or maybe you just don't have a DVR...

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

If you mean all NFL refs or the entire crew in a conspiracy then yes, but having some individual refs biased is absolutely possible.

If that one guy is the head ref then he could influence the crew to some extent.

So who is the ref? How do you know his background and the depth of his supposed fandom?

It's probably due to the fact that I watch other games and not just the Cowboys that I see horrible referring all the time.

 

[Doomsay]

I don't think Dez's TD should have counted. Looked like the ball was outside the pylon even though his feet went inside.

LOL!

 

[okstateCowboy]

Just stop this. Every fan base in the NFL thinks that the refs are out to get them. Officiating has been bad, but the crews are not targeting the Cowboys specifically.

 

[tcain2004]

Geez. Lol

That was a horrible non call on Bradford.

Refs handed Dallas a gift in the end.

Wrong. Their lt false started also and it was not called.

Exactly.

Reading comprehension problem?
