Exciting endings. That's what they want. That's what they got. They gave the Eagles the previous TD. Kept the Cowboys from having a lead and going into ball control/prevent type of play. That is what they do not want.
The problem with this is that you are acting like teams play perfect games. You can go down the list and do this for Philly too. The difference is that two calls/non-calls took 10 points (at least) off the board for the Cowboys. That's the game right there.
Cowboys fans are doing it all over the place.
Regardless of our own mistakes....i expect a fair and impartial refereeing of the game.....for both teams.
Oh I have always seen it. Don't you remember all our discussions on the old site about the fact that it doesn't take a "conspiracy" in order for the refs to screw the Cowboys. Refs are human.. Refs grew up football fans.. which means refs grew up with a favorite team and a most hated team. Logic dictates that a large percentage of refs grew up hating the Cowboys. So even if it's not intentional, their judgement can be influenced by all the times the Cowboys crushed their favorite team when they were 12 years old. Throw in that the commissioner of the damn league grew up with Ratscum season tickets... AND got pantsed by Jerry's lawyers over the whole naming rights, sponsorship deal lawsuit back in '95 when Goodell was the NFL's top lawyer. To pretend there is no bias against the Cowboys is sheer lunacy. Just like how the Raiders, whose owner punked the NFL in court twice were never going to be allowed to win anything either. "Tuck rule" anyone?
Looked like he was pulled down but I only saw the replay once I think
To add, the NFL makes scads of money off close games. They make much less money off blowouts.
The Cowboys got to the point of 1st and Goal from the 6 and time to run 4 plays only to shoot themselves in the foot. That wasn't almost overcoming? And it's only an 'almost' because of their own buffoonery. Good teams capitalize on that opportunity, do they not?
Not that I disagree with you, but to be fair, two of the Eagles penalties totaled about 7 yards that wouldn't have had any effect on the play.
That's not the point, and the idea that good teams go 80-something yards for winning touchdowns with any sense of regularity is nonsense.
I wore my cowboys tee to the grocery store. One of the employees jokingly said boo cowboys. I said you must be an eagles fan. He said....no im bucs...i just dont want to ever see cowboys win again.
Its stupid to think all penalties or non calls are exactly equal.
Why did you feel that this perspective merits the contribution of an Eagles fan? Are you such a raging narcissist that you feel your grade school response is needed here? Or is it that you’re personally offended that anyone could deign to question the greatness of the Eagles that you felt the need to lecture your rivals fans on how they should feel? What a disturbing picture your entire ilk paints of your fanbase. The most insecure people on Earth.
I generally understand refs missing calls. It’s a very hard job with 22 super athletes and so much happening on every play. But the shoon call was right in front of them, not in a crowd of bodies and so clear cut there is no excuse to miss that call
They’re so comfortable here that you’ve now got multiple Eagles fans tone policing the forum.
to not call that but to call it on gilmore was the sum of the officiating of that game
All true! Mistakes were made. Every game has bad calls.
They could call 40 penalties a game. There is a penalty on almost every snap. They don’t call them all and shouldn’t. I don’t believe it’s a conspiracy against us but I do think the shoon catch was a very bad missed call. It wasn’t a play around a bunch of guys that’s hard to see. Refs are human and are gonna make mistakes but that was such an easy call and extremely impactful in the game. That’s so flagrant it has to be called and it was literally right in front of the official
