Why do you people complain about the refs? Makes no sense to me. There is NO conspiracy against the Cowboys. None.

Refs make bad calls, they miss calls, thats just life. They do it for everyone.

Really? Are we supposed to applaud their poor job performance? I understand what you're saying, but people will always complain about blatantly awful calls, as they should. If I do a shi**y job at work I could get yelled at and/or disciplined, why shouldn't NFL refs? And I have to say this year has been especially poor officiating IMHO. Just like the 3 terrible personal foul calls against us on the go ahead drive.

I know there are always missed calls and 50/50 calls, but I was really surprised this MMA move didn’t draw a flag. Anybody got a clip?

I bet Lamb gets fined for having his Jersey untucked during the play.

It looked really weird. I assumed his hand was caught.

Dam, I noticed that too. The dude was probably trying to get CeeDee to respond and he didn't....great job CeeDee!

I was expecting something worse like Smith pinned Lamb to ground by his neck.

If that was Kearse on Jefferson we wouldn’t think twice about it.

We don't see many comments about when we benefit from the same.

My conspiracy theory has nothing to do with Dallas, but the league wanting more control over games.

There is NO reason not to have a ref in front of a monitor....not to correct every single mistake but to fix the egregious stuff that really impacts the game...like a phantom roughing the passer, etc.

They don't do it because it's a way to keep games close (and TV sets on) if need be.

Either that or they are completely ignorant, or consider people talking about the awful refs to be a good thing overall.
Just homer fans complaining. Yet you rarely hear about a mistake going out way.

Systemic

adjective

  1. relating to a system, especially as opposed to a particular part.
    "the leagues bias is systemic rather than random"
When someone isn’t happy they say it’s systemic. The new buzz word for boo hoo me.

It’s not the complaint, it’s the dumb idea that there is a ref or league conspiracy against the cowboys.

I thought the new word was victimization.

Yah that’s way old. Now everyone else is the reason someone has made poor choices in their life.

systemic, oppression, mental health, etc…..etc….

That should have been a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct even if Smith didn't mean it. He held Lamb down by the neck after the play was over and out of bounds. It was at least as flagrant as Gregory's bump, but I'm guessing that the officials didn't notice the chokehold.

BTW. great pass by Wilson on the run.

Don't you know that everything is on the up and up and there is nothing that happens in secret to try to manipulate the outcome of anything...

I get that. The way i was using systemic is to represent the state of officiating. Some of us watch a lot of other games besides the Cowboys and it’s odd that certain teams get the lions share of penalties.

Case in point, the Raiders have gone through a dozen coaches and hundreds of different players in the last 35 years yet they are continually leading the league in penalties. I could say the same about other teams as well. But what irks me is that the packers, Steelers, giants and patriots seem to get a fraction of the penalties other teams get........so the bias isn’t just a Cowboys issue.

Up until 2 years ago officiating and new ticky tack rules were the worst thing about the NFL.....now it something worse
