I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to be the one to say it. Refs paid or bias?

So with Jerry picking a fight with the NFL, especially with Blank. I couldn’t help but notice all of the flags that stayed in the refs pockets. I would love if someone was actually able to capture all of the facemask penalties that weren’t called. I am the furthest thing from an conspiracy theorist but No matter how much I tried to ignore it another non call would pop up. Take Dez and Williams being tackled while running their routes. Am I the crazy one here?

Oh, brother. Yeah, the refs cost us this game. Couldn't have been Chaz "Turnstile" Green, Mike "Doink" Nugent, one scoring drive of a measly 21 yards.

Nah, it was those damn dirty refs. :rolleyes:

Jerry ought to put together a video of all the non-calls...and put it on YouTube. The refs clearly don't care what he thinks, so maybe the power of social media might help. Just embarass rhe NFL.

At least 4 face mask penalties that went uncalled and an illegal hit to Dak's head.

The no call in the first quarter when the DB leveled Dez was a beauty as well. They call the some really ticky tack stuff when it comes to illegal contact than let a DB drop the shoulder and tackle Dez 10 yards down field on his route. SMH

I don't think it is a conspiracy, but it does get old.

You say you are the "furthest thing from a conspiracy theorist," in the midst of offering up a conspiracy theory. The officiating was terrible, but that's not why we lost. We were within striking range in the red zone in the second half and could have closed it to three, but we go away from the run that had just gashed them and throw on first down with Green getting no help (again). Sack. Drive stalls. Nuge misses the kick and the game is effectively over. Team quit after that.

Not once in my post did I claim the non calls were the reason we lost. Just thought a few of those penalties were egregious enough to warrant a call and posed a question that was relevant to the recent events surrounding the team that do not actually pertain playing football.

And stil none on the opposing teams o-line. Not saying the officiating cost the boys the game. But it is crazily lopsided.
I'm pretty sure this has never happened before. I wish we could find someone to dig up stats. The 1991 Commanders hogs could be playing a high school defense and still draw a hold.

Dak was out of the pocket on one play so no penalty applied, but Williams was leveled for no apparent reason. On a coupIe of other plays, our receivers were tackled while Dak was still in the pocket. It almost seemed like the Falcons defenders knew they wouldn't be called so they were walloping our receivers. Why not give the opposing receivers something to think about it you're not going to be penalized for it?

I guess for you weak minded fans that can't man up to the fact that your team just didn't play that well then a league-wide conspiracy is more easy to swallow. It was a fair and square team loss folks. Relax, the sky isn't falling. The Cowboys can still make the playoffs.
