You forgot one

Guys this game wasn't fixed.

If this game was fixed, there is NO way you come back after 5 INT's.

We hurt ourselves, plain and simple.

BUT, we showed resiliency and won the game. That's what we should take away from this. Let the team strive to play harder. The team can't blame the refs (but we as fans, IMO, have that right, I will agree). It's time to take away what needs to be taken away from that game...Dallas is a GREAT team. The fact that we could come back and win that game just shows that Dallas is a GREAT team. However, if Dallas wants to stay undefeated, they can't plya like that again next week.

The crime family phenomena in america is historically associated with italians(really sicilians) so I don't think to propose that a disproportionate gathering of middle aged italian men in the ranks of a group with the power to effectively decide high stakes gambled upon games is racist.

Sorry, face the facts

Associating all Italians with crime simply because they're Italian is racism.

Sorry, pal, but you were being racist.

I do not think the game is fixed. However, the refs/everyone except boys fans did want Bills to win.

Ask youself two questions at the end:

1. If Romo had not spiked the ball in time to stop the clock, what would have happened? Would they review the play, rule an incompletion and give us the ball back?

I believed they would just let the game be over and there was no replay.

2. If Nick Folk missed the first FG, would the ref have granted the timeout?

I think they would not and let the game be over. Remember Jaroun asked multiple times to get the timeout...and he finally got one when the ball went in.

In both scenairos, the whistles came strangely later and all of viewers were like ***?

of course I am not associating ALL italians with crime, but I am associating a disproportionate representation of italian middle aged men in a high stakes sports officiating crew with crime.

There is quite a difference there.

Just like it might be racist to assume all muslims are terrorists but it would not be racist to associate a gathering of young muslim men taking para-military training with terrorism.
