Is there any doubt now that officials are crooked?

[Bob-Lillys-War]

That's almost 2% of the diameter!!!

You don't think TheGreatCowboysBamaLakerFan could detect a 2% curve gradient of the horizon?

OF COURSE HE COULD!!!!

THIS IS ALL A CONSPIRACY....BETWEEN THE GUB'MENT, THE ILLUMINATI.....and, of course....THE REFS

 

[TheFinisher]

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.

The 31 other fanbases love to see Dallas lose.

yep , we are america's team .

 

[Brooksey]

It doesn't need to be a league-wide conspiracy.

If you're an NFL fan but not a Cowboys fan, chances are you HATE the Cowboys, right?

So if 10% of NFL fans are Cowboys fans, that means most of the other 90% HATE the Cowboys. Daily sports talk shows freely admit they rip the Cowboys after a loss because it draws big ratings.

Back to the refs...

If you're an NFL referee, chances are you were an NFL fan before becoming a referee.

Do the math. Most NFL referees probably grew up HATING the Cowboys.

Yes, their job is to be unbiased, but when it's a bang-bang 50/50 type of play that will decide a game, or a season?

Pretty easy to call it against the Cowboys and claim you were just doing your job, EVEN IF it's a subconscious bias against them.

The other thing is people fail to realize how much money is bet on the Cowboys. For example there's close to 300M per week being bet on NFL games, early 1pm games avg about 10M each, a big Cowboys game at 4p or 8p sometimes goes for 75M-100M.
Vegas/Refs can make up the whole day on the Cowboys game. All they have to do is make a couple subjective drive killing holding calls and they can turn the game.... if they want.

 

[Typhus]

It's just getting worse. You want to believe everything is on the up and up but WOW! How can we be the most penalized team when I see a penalty against us on every play?

Maybe I'm getting better at seeing them..idk

You are getting better at seeing the blatant infractions because they happen over and over, its become very obvious that Jerry should have never grabbed Goodell by his throat.

 

[DripTooHard]

If the fix was in why would the refs call 3 PIs on Miami on Dallas final drive? 2 of them on incomplete 4th down passes?

Point spread management. There was plenty of time for them to carry the Dolphins to a gsme
Winning field goal and beat the Cowboys by 2. Dolphins were favored by 2.5.

 

[DripTooHard]

Just a suggestion. If anyone here actually thinks there is a real fix or conspiracy within the referee corps to disfavor the Cowboys, then you as a Cowboys fan should find another team or league.

There will never be perfect game and penalty calling in any NFL game. If the games are fixed, you have ZERO recourse. No amount of complaining on a forum will get you anywhere. Nor can Jones or anyone else be able to show evidence of it. There is no point following this team or league. If it’s fixed in your mind-tune into something else and quit posting here.

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.

I'm getting there. I can no longer believe that the league is fair and valid. I have sunk cost fallacy when it comes to Dallas, but I know what the real deal is. I can only hope that the league one year decides to throw Dallas a bone and gets out of our way. And that's the thing - I don't want bad calls our way so we are carried to a title like the Steelers. I just want the refs to stop calling the BS on us and actually call the at least 30% of the blatant holds and other penalties they ignore when it's a Cowboys player.

 

[Jarv]

Then why are you or anybody else watching the games???

I used to watch pro wrestling when I was a little boy. Guess what, when I was like 8 yrs old I suddenly had the realization that "hey, this crap is fake".

Guess what, I stopped watching pro wrestling....................so why are you guys that think these games are rigged still watching?

Serious question, not trying to be a dick about it, just honestly curious why somebody that thinks a sport is rigged would still care enough to watch and comment about it.

I know a lot of people who have stopped watching. As for myself, it's difficult since I played the game for years and have enjoyed playing and watching. So it pains me to see or think that something so loved could ever be corrupted.

The owners hired Roger G. to make money and the NFL is an entertainment business. To think the human factor/TV ratings and gambling hasn't effected the integrity of the league is well...The real hope and dream.

I keep watching because I want to believe everyone is on the up and up and we'll see a fair contest of skill, like games I played in and watched in the earlier years. I have to admit, it is getting harder.

So that is why I keep watching the games Beast, still hoping and praying it can get back to that thing I enjoyed so much in my youth.

 

[Typhus]

There is no boogie man, we aren’t good enough. Defense played ok doing a bend don’t break but offense disappeared for two quarters.

There is no boogie man?
You have no idea what takes place in Vegas.

Truth

 

[DogFace]

Sorry but this is called all the time for every QB, heck seen Dak barely get hit and they call it. Stop trying to find an excuse for this pathetic franchise

No. You’re wrong and your emotions are clouding your vision—literally. They’re allowed 2 steps. That’s the rule.

Don’t cry too hard for the franchise. It’s Christmas!

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

So what we’ve determined is there are a bunch of fans that knowingly watch a “rigged” game yet get their feelings hurt about and whine to everyone else about it.

Love to also hear their thoughts on pro wrestling…

“It’s still real to me man [whimpering voice]!!!”

 

[Cowboys1966]

Refs suck. Some of you are pathetic though. Why exactly is the nfl targeting the cowboys? How many people are in on this. Seriously delusional stuff.

 

[Cowboys1966]

I’m telling you, coaches now need a challenge flag or even two per game for penalties called or not called. It all should be reviewable. Too many games decided on calls or no calls.

I agree. A finite number of challenges. It wouldn’t fix grey area issues though…

Jerry trying to take down Goodell

Really?
Why does Jerry want Goodell gone?
.
Don't tell me. Jerry wants to be commissioner, right?

 

[RomoIsGod]

Micah Parsons is held all throughout every game. Rarely is it called. The roughing passer call. I did not see the game. Was it valid?

You are just another biased fan that gets upset when calls do not break the Cowboys’ way. Every single Sunday there are calls that go the other teams way. There are missed calls. Blatant misses.

These threads do not exist when the team is crushing opposition. Or they do not last very long. Have some real introspection. If anyone truly feels the games are scripted and not real, then this is the WWF and nothing means anything. Waiting for things to improve? If the league was scripting/manipulating everything and no one has come forward to discuss it-then it will NEVER change.

Just injecting some realism into the discussion. Happy Christmas everyone!

 

[Shane612]

Miami averages 31 points per game and scored 22 today? The defense did it's job.

Or maybe it was the refs' fault that the Dolphins didn't get to their average score.
