I love how the Lions game ended

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The win was enough for me to be happy.

If I’m Detroit I’m more angry at our HC after the penalty for still going for 2 .

Give your team a chance to extend the game and win in OT. You could still have the momentum.

After the third time it was like the Three Stooges “ Niagara Falls”. Lol

How does trying to figure out if the 2 point play was legal or not relates to pointing out the lack of calls against 11 or the holds that are regularly not called on the Cowboys defense? You are getting mixed up.

OMG, "the refs" miss a bazillion holding calls against the Cowboys every game.

Make a serious response and I'll take it seriously. I'm not mixed up. I'm grown up. Excuses didn't fly with me as an employer, and they don't fly with me here.

Not only did the Cowboys win, but a flag was thrown in their favor to preserve it. The refs didn't have to do anything. They could've left the flags in their pockets and the Lions win. Instead, the flags came out. Despite the Lions protestations, and even an ounce of common sense, the call went the Cowboys way and they won.

The "refs are out to get us" crowd turns into the greatest defenders of refs the world has ever seen. "Of course the call was right! How could anyone see anything else?" Meanwhile, had the roles been reversed we'd have 20 pages of threads announcing "proof" of an anti-Cowboys conspiracy, taking away our winning two point play.

It couldn't have played out any better. "The refs are out to get us, but not this time. They got this game-changing call right. Good job, refs."

Unintentional comedy and a Cowboys win. A perfect night.

Not quite perfect, it's gonna overshadow, at least a bit on the National media, Jimmy getting inducted in the ROH.

 

[Jake]

YOU don't want to see it. Cool.

I don't want to see what, exactly? The crybaby ref excuses I see here every time the Cowboys lose? You're right, I don't want to see it.

I didn't tolerate excuses as an employer and I'm sure not going to tolerate such silly nonsense from adults over something as trivial as a football game.

 

[cowboys1732]

Name one member that I called out. I'll wait. If you feel called out, that's a you problem. I didn't call out anyone.

Respectfully, whatever helps you sleep at night. Your whole post is a call out to forum members who have complained about the refs. You can wait all you want, but it’s clear as day. Again, disappointing, but just my opinion. You neglected to reference the phantom tripping call on Hendershot. No I don’t feel called out, I just don’t think the Cowboys should apologize about winning a close game.

 

[Jake]

Not quite perfect, it's gonna overshadow, at least a bit on the National media, Jimmy getting inducted in the ROH.

That's the downside, I agree. Tonight should be about Jimmy and a Cowboys win.

But this place cries so much about refs it is completely laughable that when a big call goes our way they turn into defense attorneys for the refs.

That these people are grown adults in an adult world while doing this makes it absolutely hilarious to me.

OMG "the Refs" never do anything wrong you are just a bunch of whinners and cry babys, conspiracy crowd.

My responses are serious, you are very mixed up, people are not trying to fly with you, we are only expressing our thoughts on the game and you and other guys around here are trying to feel though and smart shaming other fans.

 

[FriscoPhantom]

The Lions beat us in 1984 with a field goal with 12 men on the field. **** the Lions.

 

[Jake]

I'm still waiting to learn who I called out? I didn't mention any members at all.

The people mad about what I said are calling themselves out.

All I did was strike a nerve, apparently.

You started the whining with this thread, though. We were celebrating and here you come.

 

[Proof]

The facts do not support "the Cowboys get shafted by the officials a lot", though. This has been demonstrated by me and a few others. If you refuse delivery of those facts that's a you problem, not mine. "The refs" make a convenient excuse until a call goes our way. Suddenly, they become paragons of virtue. Miss me with that nonsense.

they may not. it does seem like the cowboys are victims more often than not. but in any event who cares? we won. why is your first thought to take fans to task?

You called out the "conspiracy crowd" refering to those who are critical about the Refs.

Nobody is mad, you are just getting some kickback for a unfortunate thread.

No nerves just conversation.

 

[cowboys1732]

Actually you are allowed to call out groups or names of groups like haters and homers just not individuals or named members.

I understand. But it’s still disappointing.

 

[Jake]

You really others fans being upset with refs personal it seems.
Are you a ref or something?
Why do you enjoy this type of win so you can try to rub fellow fans of your favorite teams nose in it because a call was correctly made that actually went our way?

We just won and you need to reestablish equilibrium in your mind by picking fights with cowboys fans right after a nice win?

I'm tired of ref whining when the Cowboys lose a game. Watching the ref whining crowd suddenly switch gears is comical to me.

I didn't pick a fight with anyone. I made a statement. Anyone who felt personally offended by it outed themselves. Find a mirror.

 

[Streifenkarl]

Disappointing thread. I thought call outs were not allowed?

This.

With that being said, I admit that I had a similar thought at the time of the call. The conspiracy theorists are just too stupid. So it's hard not thinking about it at least once in such a moment. This is what the forum has done to us lol.

But making a thread about it... the calling out really has to stop around here. It poisens the whole atmosphere even after a win.

 

[Jake]

Amen. After losing the Triplets ROH game the last thing I wanted to see was losing Jimmy's ROH game, too.

Again, who did I call out? Name one member. I'll wait.

We get ref conspiracy threads after every loss and no one complains. More like rounds of applause. How dare I create a thread contradicting those threads after a win.

"Call out thread!" that called out no one. Again, if it struck a nerve with you or anyone else, ask yourselves why.

No you tried to pick a fight. Can’t even wait until tomorrow.
refs didn’t announce him as eligible so we didn’t know to cover him.
‘but the point is you come here and make your “statement” which was a call out post to try to pick fights .

try to enjoy the win.

 

[Jake]

I wasn't whining, I was laughing. The responses, including yours, were whining.

Why feel personally offended when I mentioned no names? Why, indeed?
