Is there any doubt now that officials are crooked?

5 of the 25 games with ZERO penalties the Cowboys are the opponent.
Illegal huddle, illegal shift delay of game on D-law(you’ve never seen it before or since)
Unsportsmanlike conduct Garrett for arguing a call, false start on long snapper game over, long streaks of no holds, the current steak for no holds for top pass rusher despite clear replays that it happens most pass rush downs and egregiously …there’s some I forgot

None of these things have happened to almost every team. Yet they all happened to one team. Some teams can’t say any of them happened to their team. Ever.

With being the most popular, most hated and visible team comes some extra attention by the part time refs. And it ain’t good.

That crowd does not seem to accept the not mutually exclusive part. It seems any discussion of the impact the refs may have is forbidden.

It’s great to teach children this. It’s not good to challenge little league calls, but this ain’t the little leagues.
We got called for our running back leading with the helmet. That one is another unique Cowboys call. Haven't seen it called before or since.

Also, holding admitted by the ref, but waived off anyways because the ref claimed "the Cowboys player "fought through the hold" - again, a unique Cowboys ruling.

the crew that calls the game might be the most important determining factor of the outcome. Sounds like WWE doesn't it.

I have a big issue with the Ceedee Lamb PI no call. I mean, he was Pants'd damn near!!!! The ref was standing right there watching it and 0 call. That happened about a minute before we finally did score. What if that is called, we punch it in quick? Then that saves like at least 45-50 seconds on the clock and maybe just maybe we would get a chance at getting the ball back 1 last time after Miami gets the fg. Little things like missed calls matter alot. The refs steered the outcome and that shouldn't happen. Its too often. But I have said it before, if we want to win on the road, we must blow teams out or we have no chance. Just the facts. If its close, we will lose. Refs are never giving us a fair shake in a tight game. The crew that called the Raven game last night was great. Thats textbook officiating and it was even handed. They let each team play and called it down the middle. If the league wanted to send out a teaching vid to all the ref crews, this was it.
the officiating corruption is breathtaking. It no long can be seen as incompetence. It is just not possible with the plethora of blatant non calls an even the ghost calls and ticky tack calls.

BTW, this one I had not uncovered myself, and just might be the most stark example of how the Cowboys are not officiated fairly.

Think about this: 20% of the time IN NFL HISTORY that a team went a game with zero penalties it was against the Dallas Cowboys. If there were no inherent anti-Cowboys bias with the referees then a stat like this would be impossible. Utterly impossible. Sure, somebody has to be last in the NFL at each stat, but not that absurdly far out of the median.

and its by design. Then the pundits are all in on it too by omission. I cant tell ya the reason they do it all I can say is, they do it. Wish I knew why.
The league threatens anyone associated with it for questioning the referees. It never threatens for anything else, even criticism of the league itself. Just questioning the officiating is off limits with threats of fines.

Now, why would that be the case? There's only one motivating reason humans have for not wanting people to talk about things and are willing to punish for it - they are afraid of exposure.

I actually lost interest years ago after the Dez non catch ruling. I just watch for entertainment like a soap opera with no emotional investment. My fandom died with the 2014 ruling in Green Bay.
:clap:Smart move, I believe Dez lost his love for the game at that point too, possession 3 steps plus the ball never touched the ground. The nfl has been a complete sham for at least the 23 years, folks need to wake up.

Oh man aint that the truth. I was watching one game I don't know if it was last night or Sunday night where the "studio ref" comes on to explain to us why a certain call had been made. Meanwhile the replay was showing the exact opposite of what he was saying.. I think it was a holding call where he was trying to sell us that the blocker had grabbed hold of the defender's jersey and gotten has hands outside the frame of the torso. The replay showed no such thing. The blocker never grabbed anything and his hands never showed outside the frame of the defender, but he just kept talking about it as thought it was patently obvious. To his credit, during our game, Dean Blandino refused to cosign several of the crappy calls and non-calls on Sunday. I was actually surprised to hear him say on more than one occasion "I just don't see a foul there.." The NFL has a problem.. this officiating powder-keg is running out of fuse and is about to blow up all over the league. It's just a matter of time before somebody squeals. They're gonna piss off the wrong ex-employee and he's gonna sing like Aretha Franklin.

Ouch. I think so too.

I agree, and have thought this way for a while now. They explain away these calls and have everyone agreeing. And then people start believing. Ick.
