The call was botchedAnd the ref would have said it on the review announcement.

ThanksThe play was not reviewed.
The ref would have explained the ruling. Example: the call is overturned his knee was down before he crossed the goal line. The refs never did that.
The odds of nobody speaking up, with so many people who would have to be involved, after so much time are completely against any conspiracy. Particularly in modern times, with all the money that could be made by being a whistleblower, somebody would.ve come forward.
I was agreeing with you.Of course. That's why I put compartmentalized as a condition for a large scale scheme. That doesn't exist.
I was agreeing with you.
Was it in the last two minutes of the half? I can’t remember.Then I wonder why we didn’t challenge it?

Yeah, 2 cents!
It is just plain ridiculous for anyone to say that was not a TD. And the league said it was not a TD after review. Anyone who says there is no ref bias against the Cowboys is just plain detached from reality.
It never got reviewed, so they never officially called it a TD. Maybe one guy did and someone else said no, but it should've gone upstairs for review, where they would've seen that it was in fact a TD. In the scheme of things it doesn't matter because we won anyway, but someone should be held accountable.
I think the issue was there was no clear shot at where the ball was
The goal line on a run play is really so congested you can see well
Technology could tell if the ball crossed the goal line but isn’t very valuable at telling you if a player is down
Well that’s why we didn’t challenge. I thought it was.
I thought he scored but I also get the concept of clear and convincingI appreciate yall being unbiased and all but dear lawd that was an obvious TD. I mean real freaking obvious. As well as the Eagles game was obvious.
Jerry Jone just need to pay up
Right, which is why the league should have reviewed it.Well that’s why we didn’t challenge. I thought it was.

He didn't challenge it because coaches can't challenge inside two minutes to go in a half, which is why the league was supposed to.The league only reviews scoring plays. That play wasn’t ruled a TD. McCarthy would have had to challenge it. He didn’t because he must have been told from the coaches booth that they couldn’t see the ball cross the goal line. The non TD call would have stood and it would’ve cost us a valuable time out. It has to be conclusive that the ball crossed the goal line and it wasn’t.
