DLaw no call

Yes, he does grab the jersey, which he is allowed to do with his block. But he does not alter DLaw's path at all. You see it on the real speed replay. DLaw is allowed to go where he wants to go except for the push by the OL, which he is also allowed to do. Again, I'm using words directly from the rules. You can't "materially restrict" or "alter path" or mess with the "angle of pursuit."

You're saying that any of that was a "material restriction," (implying that some restriction is okay)?

Sooooo. Tell me why our guys are called for this same exact penalty on big runs....
 
Schultz got called for the exact same thing lol

No he didn't. Schultz pulled on a guy trying to go a different path. THAT is textbook holding. This guy here lets go, which is what Schultz should have done. This is what I mean about fans not even knowing the rules they're trying to argue against. I had a guy flat out lie about a supposed hold on Anae by Slater in the Charger game.

Would you call this a hold?

Produce the video and I'll tell you outright. But that always seems to be missing with claims just like here when in actuality, it's nothing. Refs do suck, but don't heap stuff on them that's not theirs.
 
I want you to name calls that go our way in big moments. I'll wait....

And then want you to name all the big calls that go against us (including no calls).

Dallas has not had the benefit of calls since the dynasty almost 30 years ago. Quit fooling yourself.
Detroit playoff game pass interference to name one.
 
On the Cardinals last TD From the time the referee signaled TD to the time the ball was snapped for the 2PT try was 58.92 seconds.

Only 45.35 seconds passed from the time the referee signaled TD after Wilson’s TD to make it
22-13 to the time the play clock hit zero.

In that case, then neither should Schultz be called. It was the same type o block.
 
Did I miss something when did that happen ?I was getting my hair cut for a short bit early .the late fumble was unfortunate but McCarthy and clock management has been an issue more than once. Yes the refs should have seen it was a fumble but if we don’t use the early timeout we can challenge

The 2 pts I was talking about was what I still think was a hold in the end zone.
 
So true. The amount of whining and moaning about officiating after every loss is so tiresome. How about playing better and overcoming adversity? How about the offense putting up more than 7 points against a defense missing two pass rushers and two corners. Just be better and stop the lame excuses.

Folks --

The NFL is set up in a way that everybody can compete. These are professional players and professional coaches. Why should Dallas have the disadvantage of getting more erroneous penalty calls, or non calls, vs. other teams? How is that fair??

You can say losers make excuses all they want, but when you're going into the game giving your opponent the advantage from the refereeing standpoint, that puts Dallas behind the eight ball. Again, I don't care what the record is, these are professional NFL teams. Arizona just so happened to be 10-5, only a game behind the Cowboys. Any tilt in the penalty game, so to speak, could be huge.

Now for those that don't think there is not some chicanery going on.. let me ask you this:

Dallas either leads the league in penalties, or is in the top two. Do you honestly believe that most of these penalties, or at least a good chunk, are really on the players? MM, DQ, and KM strike me as no nonsense coaches, not people that are going to teach their players how to cheat a little bit and hope they get away with it. You know, oh gee, what's the word I'm looking for. Oh yeah, DISCIPLINE. The Cowboys are not as undisciplined as a penalty scorecard would make it look out to be. They are too good for that, the roster is too good for that. They don't need to cheat to win, they just need to get their damn heads in the game. They are their own worst enemy, but it is not because they're committing all of these penalties.

Again, it's not just the calls against the Cowboys, it's the non calls, the penalties that never get called that should. I agree that some of those benefit Dallas, to be sure, especially against one of our guards who shall remain nameless, but far more of these non calls benefit Dallas' opponents. If you can't see that, then you're not watching the game very closely. I can't help you then. I can only bring a horse to water, I can't make the horse drink.
 
In that case, then neither should Schultz be called. It was the same type o block.

Now, some posters wouldn't think twice about lying but I've seen you be as honest as you believe things to be at the time. Seeing the video from earlier and this, do you think this hold by Schultz is the same as what happened to DLaw?

I suppose not quite. At the time, it seemed a lot more blatant at game speed when I was watching when what happened with DLaw happened. Cuz when I was watching it during the game as the play happened, it looked like a pretty blatant hold. The bartender who was a Giants fan (he'd hardly be cheering us on) thought it was a hold too.

In the moment, we can all think we see things. I thought for sure that Arizona player didn't fumble but when you see the replay, he clearly did. Maybe the ref demonstratively calling him down affected mine and others' judgement but video usually tells the story if it's a good enough angle. I always say I'll accept the results of video, good or bad.
 
This is not the same as that.

It's you playing bad for 3 quarters, losing, and then trying to blame others for that.

Also, Antonio Brown is someone I wouldn't want anywhere near my locker room.
Your locker room? The only locker room that you were in was when you took P.E. with the girls.
 
They just wouldn’t allow us to get in rhythm. Refereeing was atrocious through the entire league

But they let us play in the 4th qrt? I have said there were calls and non calls I did not like, so I am not disagreeing with that at all but I would also say this team did not play well. When your mind starts focusing on the refs instead of your execution then there is no way to win.
