I will never forgive the NFL for this.
For what? Sparing us from watching Rodgers drive against our soft defense for the winning score?

Did you read any of the other links? They clearly show video of Hitchins making initial contact and every single one says Detroit got screwed.lol in the link you posted, it says that Dez actions don’t warrant an automatic penalty and it’s to the refs discretion.
And literally in the same paragraph they discuss the suh play it says “Cowboys informed of several missed calls against Detroit”
so yeah, valiant effort to discredit your favorite team and fans, but no screw job. Thanks for doing the leg work

I’m well aware that the Dez non call was a judgement call but just as when the Cowboys get called for ticky tack penalties or other teams don’t get called for ticky tack penalties, this fan base has a complete break down and throws a temper tantrum akin to a 2 year old. Here we are with people still crying about Dez almost 5 years later and there is zero mention of Detroit getting screwed. Not to mention, people act as if that was the Super Bowl, it wasn’t even a Conference title game, and that there’s no way Rodgers would have marched down the field and still beat us like he has every other time.
Point about Dez being, if that were a player for another team, who ran that far out on the field with his helmet off and started arguing with officials while they were discussing the flags they PICKED UP and didn’t get flagged, the Cowboys cry babies would say “if that were one of our guys we would have been flagged, that was clear bias against the Cowboys, the NFL/Goodell doesn’t want us to win. Show me how many other times that has happened and the player hasn’t been flagged”.
Some you need to grab your jock strap (if you need one) and move on. While we’re at it, why don’t we talk about how many Super Bowls we would have won if Romo were still our QB.
The ruling on the field was a catch.Doesn't change the ruling on the field. No catch!

It’s just strange man. You have this weird hard on for calling out fans and take a lot of leaks in your arguments. You argue hypotheticals and straw men and it wouldn’t even be that noticeable if it was every once in awhile or maybe in response to a poster saying something like “Cowboys fans never do that”. But it’s not you just pop up to be what, the angry voice of reason? Lol
all fans complain about calls and ignore some of (most of) their own. Just part and parcel of being a fan.
as far as the lions game, I don’t care if Hitchens could’ve been called for PI, holding, or illegal contact since Pettigrew could’ve been called for facemask. Just is what it is.
As far as whether our fans would lose it if another player did what Dez did without penalty, maybe? Probably? So what.
and lastly, when you’re a fan of a perennial loser, a call of that magnitude (enough that it literally changed the rule and is the reference point) at that critical stage, against your nemesis, and ultimately the closest that some of your favorite players ever got to playoff success and potentially more, it’s just one of those things that stick with you.
does with me anyway.
Overturned, of course.The ruling on the field was a catch.
We beat the Giants twice in 2007. Lost to them in the playoffs.
We beat the Packers on the road without Dez in 2016. Lost to them in the playoffs.
Regular season success against a team does not mean much when it comes to the playoffs.
They win that game and they go to the NFCC...No it wasn’t. The other two games were championship games.
5 years later, and still not one angle which shows indisputably that the ball hit the ground.

Sigh. Such a travesty.
Clinton-Dix was in the secondary waiting for Murray. Another defender was on his horse and would have easily caught up to Murray. There was no way Murray was scoring a TD on that play regardless of what Aikman said in his broadcast. He would have gained ~30 yards, out the team in FG range, and continued the drive but it was definitely not a walk in TD.I still think its a catch, even under the old rules but whatever.
The bigger missed opportunity was the Demarco Murry fumble with nothing but green grass in front of him, if he doesn't fumble that is a walk in TD and the Dez play is moot.
Look on the bright side fellas, the following week Green Bay was up big on Seattle and was headed to the SB but Seattle started coming back and the Pack muffed an onside kick late in the game and lost.
I would much rather lose like we did in the Division round than lose the NFC Championship because of a muffed onside kick, talk about a horrific way to lose when a trip to the SB was literally in your hands.

that and Clayton dropping the huge 3rd down play...Most heart-wrenching day I’ve ever experienced as a Cowboys fan (31yrs old). Still upsets my stomach
