Is there any doubt now that officials are crooked?

[Cowboys5217]

Yes, it's so obvious that the NFL, which exists to make money, is actively engaged in a conspiracy to keep the most popular team in the league, and one that would garner the highest ratings and therefore the highest revenues for the lentire eague, out of the super bowl. It has NOTHING to do with the owner, the front office, the coaches or the players.

It isn't about money, it is about politics (the NFL kind).

Also, the league is making more money than ever while Dallas doesn't win anything. Maybe it is more profitable for the league to appease the Dallas haters who are a larger faction than Dallas homers.

All of that does not explain the blatant and corrupt missed calls and ghost calls against dallas

Part of the problem like in other sports when you have the reputation of being the most penalized team officials are influenced by that and looking more for you to commit them than your opponent .

I watch almost all of the games around the league and there are poorly and questionable calls being made throughout.

Holding and PI are the most subjective and most devastating for killing drives or extending them. At some point they’ll prob need to be able to review or throw red flag. Most other penalties aren’t as questionable or controversial.

What is it now?? 10 games were no holds are called when Parsons is rushing the passer? Rigged!

If there ever was any evidence, even a whistleblower , it could risk the integrity of the game and most likely be a criminal offense with gambling involved in the results.

Hard for me to imagine a league wide organized colluding. More likely could be some individual throwing of games for personal gain.

Has anyone researched how many times the same officials has called our games. And if there’s any connection in these games they called to questionable calls or no calls ??

In a year or two, we gonna have an NFL Referee banned.

 

[Mobinvans]

I think it’s 100% obvious the refs are biased against the Cowboys

Look at the last 20 years in penalties called

That can’t be a coincidence

 

[Blue&Silver]

I thought they favored us this game. I certainly don't think they tried to.

 

[MikeT22]

We still haven’t won a game in which we don’t get a turnover. We also continue to have little depth behind the starters. Starters end up getting hurt and we go from world beaters to average.

Poor drafting

 

[John813]

This isn't about money.

Why does hollywood keep putting out politically biased stinkers that lose them money all the time? By now you would think they would change if money were the motivating factor, but that isn't the case.

there's tons of movies that aren't politcially based that are stinkers.
Sometimes it's poor directors, bad actors, or writing, or death by rewriting or just bad reviews sink it before it's released.
You think a production company will willfully eat millions upon millions to "own" the other side?

There is no doubt. They are not crooked. Just a bunch of fans butt hurt and ticked off at their team that can only beat up on crap teams. Watch the games just once from the other team’s perspective and critique those missed calls from the other team.

The refs aren’t crooked, they just suck.

 

[ThatJerryKid]

Greg Olsen was apoplectic about numerous no calls of holding on recievers and linebackers and the bogus call against Parsons on the roughing the passer. Just a travesty. Dallas has no chance at winning anything. The NFL is a corrupt organization.

What about the terrible roughing the passer call against the Dolphins on Prescott? Asking for a friend.

 

[Bagman]

I see it as well that refs seem to screw us, but why have a conspiracy against the richest most popular team in the world in any sport to keep them from winning? I know Goodell is a Giants fan but still makes no sense.

Doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense. We all are seeing it with our own eyes. Its real bias. Not a conspiracy. Just individual bias by the guys who watch the Olines. Those guys have an agenda.

No. The refs suck

A fumble on the opponent's one-yard line - leaving them with a 99-yard mission with a 0-0 score - on the game's opening drive didn't "lose" this game.

Nor did a defense - as "bendy" as they were - that held MIA to 19 pts. until the final four seconds of the game.

This game was lost on the O-line. Tyron's sub (whose name I refuse to mention) totally deserted his post, putting an otherwise explosive offensive at a painful disadvantage.

And lost on coaching. McCarthy almost blew the game early on that idiotic play-action call & huge loss from the one-yard-line. The only realistic chance DAL had to win at the end was to let MIA score (it was obvious they would bleed us out to do so) with over two minutes on the clock and three timeouts in the bank. I actually like the guy, but have never seen any evidence that Big Mike can think that far out of the box.

I have to admit, that play action pass/sack on the 1 yard line could have been a career ender for McCarthy. Luckily they scored later but man that was an awful play on first down.

I think it had to be a miscommunication because both DEs came free. Maybe Dak just kept it on his own?

I thought the Dolphins would score at least 30 on us today. The fact that the defense held them to 19 until that last second FG was a pretty good job overall. But the offense that completely stalled after the 1st two drives failed again on the road.

Maybe it's intentional, maybe it's not. Without definitive proof, it's hard to say.

Hanlon's Razor covers this:

"Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity"

Then there is a variation that I find funny and possibly fitting:

"Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice."


If the Cowboys would actually have some freaking team pride and take care of business, the refs wouldn't be able to alter the outcome so much. This loss was on the team.

[mmohican29]

If we didnt fumble and the D played better we win. This team right now is just a epic failure.

It is.

We don't get calls and we won't. We have to be better and we aren't.

So here we are. Again.

Lamb had 93 yards and a TD through 1 Q.

And DID NOT have another catch until less than 10 minutes remaining in the game.

That is absolutely 100% inexcusable.

Does anyone on here cringe when Dak drops back to pass?

If the league exists to make money wouldn’t the league want the team that “would garner the highest ratings” in as many playoff games as possible? Note—-the “league” is 32 ownership groups. And I think you’re right. They exist to make money.

 

[lostar2009]

Right, but who caused the Cowboys the most issues?

Themselves.
