Two different situations.
In the Detroit game, the decision to pick up the flag was made after a conference among field officials. In the Green Bay game, the field judge made a call in Dallas' favor, no other official on the field disputed his call, and the catch would have stood if not challenged by the Packers and overturned by the NFL's head of officiating (who has never been a field official).

No but they looked at the tape at one point the ball touches the ground and that is what they ruled I don't agree with it but it is the same rule that cost CJ his TD catch. As for the Det game it is different but in the eyes of Lions fans was as costly and I'm sure they felt the refs were out to get them. I will say Refs are not out to get the Lions nor were they out to get the Cowboys so when you use the term tampering there was no tampering

The mere fact that the ball came loose did not mandate an overturn by any means. There are multiple examples of the ball coming loose when the player contacted the ground, and that kind of play being ruled a catch (see Gresham, Thomas).
Just don't expect the league to show you those plays, or even comment on them right now.

I have said over and over I did not agree with the call. I also do not think Dez being a Cowboy has anything at all to do with it. I think the league competition committee constant changing and altering of the rules makes these plays more grey than black and white and because of that you will have instance where these things are going to happen.
