D-law on the refs

[ESisback]

If correctly pointing how weak it is to blame the officials and pretend there's a conspiracy at work against your team is being angry, then I'm angry.

I choose to just look at it like I'm right.

Which you always do, because you’re always right.

We’re not saying there’s an “organized conspiracy”. We’re saying the league adjusted the rules (subjective penalties, rule changes) to maximize profits for a small group without the proveable existence of malfeasance.

Agree the call Brown got was a gift.
Goal line play will never get called nor should it. Guy was a split second early and didn’t impact the ability to catch the ball. Happens in almost every game. Unless it’s real early and keeps the guy from catching it that’s not getting flagged.
The hands to the face flag that was picked up-. On that same play Steele had hands to the face of Graham so you could call it offsetting. Also hitting the face isn’t an automatic penalty, it’s has to be forceable contact.

I find it amazing that people on here are pushing for more penalties. The game is already over officiated.

Btw. I’m not pushing for ****. Just a reasonably fairly called game. And if you’re going to make weird calls/call them extremely tight on us like the hold or the Pi then please call very obvious ones on them.

I’m for very few penalties and would never want calls. Just play. Until they call bs on us.

Fixed it for you. After what I had witnessed for the first 59:33 of that game I had no doubt whatsoever that there was not a snowball's chance in hell the refs would let the Cowboys score and win that game. The point remains that they did NOT call the game evenly. They gave the Eagles a free 30 yards on a PI on a ball that landed out of bounds that led to points for them but ignored PI in the end zone against Schoonmaker. They ignored a blow to Dak's head.. They ignored multiple blatant holds against Parsons including one on a TD run right in front the refs and the rest of the free world. They also ignored the right guard not being set (not the only time but the most obvious) on the Eagles first TD run. Not to mention countless times of Lane Johnson leaving a full count before the ball is snapped.

The final tally of penalties being about even is only valid if teams committed the same number of penalties. Which we know was not the case. I'm sure they missed some calls that would have dinged the Cowboys as well. But they didn't miss the "hold" against Wilson where he grabbed Julio Jones' towel in the end zone. Nor the "hold" against McKeon on Dowdle's 18 yard run where the hands are clearly INSIDE the frame of the defender's body which we are told all the time is legal.

The bottom line is that if one team commits 25 penalties but only gets called for 10 while the other team commits 15 penalties but gets called for 10 then the game was not called evenly just because the numbers look the same on the stat sheet. If a person lacks the ability or intellectual integrity to acknowledge that simple fact but instead chooses to fall back on puerile accusations of "crybabies" and "conspiracy theorists" then that's on them.

Like I stated earlier, I went back and watched the game, looking for missed calls on both sides. Overshown trying to kick Kelce's helmet off happen while a ref was standing to the right of the players. I didn't tally the missed calls, but I can tell you there were multiple holds on both sides that were missed. You go on believing there's a bias against our team. In the end, we had a very good chance of winning that game, and couldn't...and the refs had no bias in that final drive.

Overshown is on IR.

Yes PI gets called all the time but not in that situation. In almost every game guys will get their split second early and it won’t get called. Watching in slow-mo makes everything look egregious but it didn’t impact the guys ability to catch the pass so a ref isn’t throwing the flag there.

Again if Ferguson runs the route correctly Schoon walks in.

Tell me you don't know anything about football without saying you don't know anything about football...

FTR: It's was BEYOND clear and obvious in real time, slow mo, fast forward and rewind!

You can keep crying about it but it will never get called. The DB was a split second early and the Schoon made the catch. If he wasn’t able to catch the ball it might get called but if it’s close refs aren’t throwing the flag.

Since you’re such a football savant you should understand Ferguson’s execution was the issue not the call. Had he executed properly it would’ve been a walk in TD.

The game is over. We lost. We had the opportunity to win and the Cowboys once again dominated but gave the refs an opportunity to affect the game. The Cowboys did it to themselves as they often do. We've had a game since then and trounced the Giants. Can we move on?
