Well, I won't deny that.
We have a lot of ref-whiners here, and apparently I struck a nerve without mentioning any names. A call goes our way and they turn into Johnny Cochran for the refs.
What a surprise.
Pretty much. I usually creep on other team’s forums after a loss and if you cover up the names of the coaches, QB and team you would not know what fan forum you were on. I remember when we beat Philly a couple weeks ago the Philly fans wanted Hurts traded, AJ cut, Siririani gone and the refs are out to get them. Pretty standard stuff. I think it’s pretty natural NFL fan reactions.
Lions fans being big mad only adds to my joy over this win.
It’s a different day and age. It’s more than “ complaining about Cowboys losing because of refs. The conspiracy crowd has a “draft kings” app and a fantasy football game going on. They are force fed close up angles of video and still images all week of “holds” on social media because holding and pi are subjective but not reviewable yet there’s a 100m a week on Dallas.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.
No because our coach just about lost the game for us with his inability to understand clock management. He’s going to cost us an important game. So no I do not love how this ended.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.

The refs didn't give us the game on a technicality, there was a legitimate foul on the play (illegal formation) and the lions had the chance to correct what the ref said (but it still would have been illegalformation and we would have covered 68 coming off the line).
He is just doing checks and balances. People attack the the integrity of the game that others love by saying the game is rigged, staged and there is an agenda against the cowboys every loss. When that happens repeatedly, you can’t expect a true fan of the game to use it when that crowd puts their head in the sand. I for one, respect the OP for calling it out regardless of what team he roots for. After all, above all, we are fans of the NFL.
Agree.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.

We can say this much concerning the refs. Conspiracy has been confirmed in spades. All year the refs have been crap. If thats a conspiracy and we are conspiracy theorists, then I will own that title proudly. However, last night and last week Ravens vs Niners, we saw 2 clean games called by the refs. I acknowledge it when they do their job. Both things can be true you know.
Nah agree to disagree it’s just football . Win some lose some
i don’t think it’s an integrity of the game defense at all lol. if that’s the case, so be it.
On social media pissing off Lions fans right now.. I just keep replying, "It was Face Guarding! Oh wait what year is this?"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.

I absolutely hate how it ended because it yet again exposed the complete stupidity of our HC in terms of clock management and the stupidity of our DC to not learn from the obvious weaknesses of his defense that the opposition repeatedly takes advantage ofNot only did the Cowboys win, but a flag was thrown in their favor to preserve it.

Sounds like a pretty accurate vision, visionary.
LOL.... OF COURSE the refs got this right!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.
