Goodell and the refs have it out for the Cowboys?

[Rockport]

Look at the history. Badell and his officials have helped out Brady, Rogers and several other QBs and their teams many times over the past 20 years. You know it.

No, I don’t know it. I’m still waiting on the proof. It’s logistically impossible for it to happen for 20 years and kept quiet. Impossible in today’s world.

Because it makes cowboys fans look like morons. Yes, Referees make terrible calls. There is not some anti Dallas agenda though… that is just silly. I’ve seen plenty of bad calls go our way. A couple years ago we fumbled the opening kick off. The other team cleanly recovered it…go to commercial…come back and it’s still our ball. Just a terrible huge call that was in our favour. Plenty of examples of terrible calls going both ways.

I hope some day they make everything challengible… and have coherent challenge decision logic in place. Until then referees will play a huge part in deciding close games.

What do you care what other Cowboys fans look like to strangers? You do you. Let people believe whatever we want, we have our reasons and they are as valid as yours.

Here. Get properly informed and enough already with your deniability. The Tampa Bay Times even wrote back in October of this 2022 season about such blatant biased favoritism for Tom Brady and now for their own Buccaneers. They even included videos supporting their article, how it's widely known how Brady gets favored/helped by the NFL and its officials, and how even ex-Bucs coach Tony Dungy agreed it was wrong.

Multiple times, everyday someone is complaining about Goodell and the refs having it out for the Cowboys. How they will help Brady out to beat the Cowboys or Rogers or anyone. I’ve asked the question multiple times of some of these posters of , “Who, how and why”. I’ve yet to get a response. So let me lay it out for you.

If Goodell has it out for the Cowboys and is using the refs to influence the game the process would play out something like this. Let’s just take one game. Say the first playoff game. Goodell would have to call in or meet virtually with the officiating crew for that game. Then tell them that he wants them to make sure the Cowboys don’t win or at the least if the call is questionable go in favor of the other team. These refs do this as mostly a hobby as they all have full time jobs. Some are Doctors, lawyers, pilots etc. They don’t need the money so you think any of them would do what Goodell asks? They have reputations to protect. Even if one of them accepted, do you think the other 4 would not tell someone? Of course they would because if they didn’t then they would be just as guilty.

And some of you say this happens every week so every officiating crew should have to be in on it. I mean it’s so ludicrous it’s just unbelievable so many here think this is happening.

The officiating crews for any game make mistakes. That’s what you’re seeing and not some intentional attempt to screw the Cowboys. And these mistakes more often than not, even out.

So this “Goodell and the refs” have it out for the Cowboys is pure conspiracy quackery.

They all meet up at Krafts house for Thanksgiving dinner every year and have the discussion about Jerry, this is not conspiracy Rock.

 

[Creeper]

I think the Cowboys got the better end of the officiating stick the last two games. And as much as I despise Goodell, I don't think the refs are taking orders from him to take the Cowboys down. The officials are just incompetent for the most part.

If they don't believe the Anti-Cowboys bias they would never ever accept the Brady-NFL marriage, no matter how much evidence there is since the days of the tuck rule, they just regurgitate goat, goat, the goat, like sheep. Good article though.
I wonder what this bunch thought of the Seahawks-Steelers SB some years ago, or the NBA rigged games scandal?

Referees don’t have to sit down and talk about colluding to screw the Cowboys. All it takes is a little bit of anti-Cowboys bias to get that done.

Moreover there is a bit of a herd mentality. If there is a perception among referees that “league officials” have anti Cowboys bias, then they are going to go with that flow.

Influence can be very persuasive without it having to be overbearing.

I just provided him some proof of which he asked (several ignorant posters liked his "macho" comment) for. Suddenly, he got quiet. I wonder why? It's because he's too proud to admit he's wrong and how there actually is bias and favoritism by this league and its officials for a select few QBs and their teams. For even a team's and city's own official newspaper to flat out admit there is bias and favoritism for their QB and team says it all. You can't dispute that unless you come out looking like a total tool who flat out is in denial even though verifiable sources are saying and showing there actually is bias and favoritism. Rockport doesn't even have the decency to come out and admit he's wrong. Instead, he just stays quiet. SMH

I am sure other teams feel the same way about the refs. However, I think we get consistently screwed. That ridiculous rule when Butler went into the huddle then to the sidelines penalty. Nobody had heard of that rule before and it had not been called for years. That's how obscure it was. Missed penalties are the ones that get me the most. Yes, it may get even out but how often does that really happen?

Was it on the books though, and did he violate it? Yes he did. Illegal substitution. And because it was an at the snap penalty the Cowboys could have called timeout to get out of it but failed to recognize that they sent him out there and called him back in violation of the rule and just hoped for the best.

 

[MarcusRock]

Excuse me, JK? Go look in that thread. Quit being lazy. Lots of good information that was said and presented there.

And it all came from me showing how McGovern held on the play versus showing a slanted angle some Tweeter put up to rope in the weak, conspiracy-minded folks. No surprise in snaring you like they did though. They look for the emotional and unstable. Well they hit the leprechaun's gold pot with you.

That's not holding. But someone like you who never played, well, it's easy for you high school band player types to get confused.

You do need the rules explained to you though and I'm glad I'm here to help that clear frailty of yours. Rational > Emotional

Why would anyone continue supporting a team if they actually believed this unproven hogwash?

You do not believe it. You think the Cowboys can still win something. That's why you're still a fan.

Because we don't have any other choice. Very simple. It's not like one is betting money on them. Simply hoping for the best and supporting. We know certain games against certain teams and QBs will be officiated in favor for the opponent.

They ignore the evidence because they would have to admit that their world isn't what they thought. That is tough to handle for most people so they just resort to gaslighting that you are a conspiracy theorist so they don't have to face it. Instead, they choose to believe that somehow NFL referees are the only people on the planet without personal bias or weakness that sometimes compromises their integrity.

And quite frankly, the stats geeks have shown the impossible to believe trends over the years in regards to the Cowboys and holding calls as well as roughing the passer calls. The facts scream out that clearly the officiating was anything but impartial.

Zeke will be suspended 6 games because of this thread.

I think the rest of us need to clear out of here and let @Rockport and @America's Cowboy go 1v1.

Campaigning for attention, I see. I'm not interested.
