Listen there are real situations that make you go hmmm as a Cowboys fan. But, I just love how people throw that word "conspiracy" around to make fun of others who do believe there is major bias against the Cowboys.

Let's hope his gut doesn't make the decisions in this game.




It was ruled a fumble on the field, allowing the play to continue during a pivotal moment in the game. Referee Brad Allen said he called a fumble because of “lack of control in the hand.” He said he saw an empty hand as Cousins’s arm went forward, and there was not enough evidence to overturn the call following video review.

“There was nothing conclusive that would overturn the ruling on the field,” Allen said. “All the views we had were inconclusive, so we have to stay with the ruling on the field.”

When asked what made him comfortable enough to call it a fumble in real time, Allen said, “I just have to go with my gut. And my gut said fumble.”

I don't have a problem with that call on the field. Those are the ones the replay system is there to fix and the ones the refs are to allow to continue.

He was the one involved with the replay and still didn't change it. (the eagles player's even admit it was an incomplete pass)

It is conclusive watching that - incomplete pass - look at the force the ball hits the defenders hands!

That was a fumble. The ball wasn't securely in his hand when his arm went forward.

The ball does not have to be securely in his hand. It has to be coming forward and not an empty hand. No different than the ball slipping out of your hand while throwing it. He may have been losing it as he went forward but the ball went forward by force of the throwing motion. There is no way the ball knocks back the defenders hand unless that is by force of a throw
