Jayron Kearse - What am I supposed to do

[baltcowboy]

Buffalo destroyed us no doubt but officials seem to always show their ugly heads in some way. That call on Tank was horse crap.

 

[MarcusRock]

Nope. It is directly on topic.

You are making stuff up about "creating your own edge" by being a powerhouse. You can't do that if they are going to call ticky-tack holds. Everyone is going to look back on the Dawkins play on Clarke as if it's some sort of tone-setting play, but if they call holding (like they did on Smith), being a powerhouse doesn't really matter much, and points come offf the board.

Then you haven't been paying attention this season. Do you remember in the Niners game when their offense got called for a 10 or 15 yard penalty and then the very next play Purdy zips a 25 yard pass over the middle? Powerhouse teams manufacture their own edge and refs can't take it away from them. But our response is, "the refs wouldn't allow us to have that 25-yard play." Weak. Hence, we aren't a powerhouse team. Pay attention, Mac

I don't get the obsession with this type of narrative.Refs put points on the board for Buffalo and took them off the board for Dallas in the first quarter. That influences the entire game.

Your point, here, is suck it up and "win by 14 over 3 quarters in a road game against a good team." That's a ridiculous expectation.

Everyone in the media wanted to know what ex-players thought about #11's claims last week, and all I heard all week from Cowboys who have been there and done it such as Troy Aikman and Nate Newton is suck it up on the refs, they don't determine if you are a perennial loser... and only losers point to refs as the reason they lost. Maybe said a little more diplomatically, but point taken. There is a time and process in the offseason for this and we have an advantage on any rule changes needed because our boy Stephen is on the committee of nine. Again.... posting on social media whining about refs the day after your entire team was punked is soft.

Go for the legs or waist?

It’s not rocket surgery.

looks to be text book inmo but I'm old school but in todays no fun league it is a penalty.

That play happened when they were already winning by two scores. The idea that something like that happens over and over again is stupid. It's not like the 9ers convert on 90% of 3rd and 13s lol

Easy for them to say, they aren't getting screwed by the refs every week.

The idea of "just play so well that the refs can't alter the outcome" isn't tough. It's delusional and distanced from the reality of the NFL.

Like, if Dallas beat Buffalo by 6, everyone would say they played well on the road. Winning by 6 wouldn't have been enough to overcome the points the refs handed to the bills in the first quarter lol. It's simple math.

 

[Praxit]

JK...go for the legs.. Better chance of them not catching it.

 

[Robster8989]

Not saying I disagree, but please stop blaming the officiating. Losers blame refs. Suck it up and win.

Seriously dude, great comment.
This board is so full of whiners.
I was on the game thread, and they complained about the "conspiracy" after the DLaw roughing Allen call, the Williams roughing the punter call, this call and several others. Even the Martin personal foul was a good call (I can live with it as Zach was protecting his QB).
Those were all personal fouls.
DLaw knows better, it was a foolish play. Cost us 4 points. That was 3rd down so we had stopped them. That gets called 99 out of 100 times in today's NFL, which is so committed to QB protection. Plus Allen is ( one the) leagues golden child. Stop complaining. And Williams was just a bone headed Williams play. That's why dude doesn't get on the field more. He makes bone headed plays. That cost us 7 points. This play by Kease was close, but don't put yourself in that situation. This is why Kearse misses tackles so often because he's always trying to make the highlight reel. Wrap the guy like you're trying to make the tackle and the refs let that go. Fundamentals and FB IQ. We displayed neither in this game.
Do you really think the NFL, whose sole purpose is to make money, has a "conspiracy" to keep the most popular team in the league, who would get them the highest ratings ever (and therefore the highest ad revenue, which makes them all richer), out of the Super Bowl?

I understand the fans being like that, but I'm worried that our players are social media'ing it all over the world. They're starting to live on the cheese too.

 

[G2]

I'm not defending any Dallas player, these clowns got smoked and made it worse, helping Buffalo. Martin? What are you thinking? All the penalties were dumb and they deserved to lose. It literally put 3 TDs on the board for the Bills.

How can this and NOT being prepared be a culprit?

 

[foofighters]

Hit him in the numbers.

Still a garbage call.

He left his feet. It's a dumb football move. Especially with the attention to safety, as a defender it's his responsbility to make sure he understands the correct procedures.

 

[G2]

All the coaching failed.

 

[Gambit]

I must have missed the part of him blaming the loss on the ref, perhaps that was in invisible ink.

The entire league, rightfully so, is starting to seek answers on these calls. Zero consistency from crew to crew from week to week and on calls made vs not made.

 

[superonyx]

Go for the legs or waist to avoid any gray area for the refs to flag.

Then if the ball is 5 inches lower and the WR catches it everyone would say he sucks and should have played the ball.
It was a terrible call. Didn't cost us the game.

Why is it so hard for so many angry fans to compartmentalize enough to be able to say the refs messed up AND we got our butts kicked at the same time.

Fans think they are actually on the team and admitting this would somehow change the play on the field in future games.

Who gives a crap when it happened? If they don't make it, it could have turned the tide back in our favor to give us a better chance, no? That is precisely what you're claiming happened yesterday. That the powerless, fragile Cowboys couldn't overcome what the big, bad refs put them up against. Granted, down 7-0, Cooks breaks open and Dak overthrows him for what would have been a 7-7 tie and a snatching of momentum right back, especially considering the defense held Buffalo to a 3 and out the very next series. That would have been huge to start the game, am I right? See, powerhouse teams don't miss those opportunities. But non-powerhouse teams whine like Kearse here (and now Mahomes as KC isn't the given 1 seed) while leaving out finer points like the basis for the penalty call. Hard to tell if the fans get it from players or vice versa.

 

[Soth]

Not saying I disagree, but please stop blaming the officiating. Losers blame refs. Suck it up and win.

Asking why that call was made is being a loser? We can't criticize any calls?

Every time someone questions a call all these ref defenders show up to complain. What a joke.

 

[WoodysGirl]

I don't think it's bad for players to ask officials what they saw.

It's not whining or blaming the refs to want to know how not to do something that clearly cost your team.

A good official will respond if the question doesn't disrupt play.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

I agree. But bring it up in rules committee through proper channels. Social Media'ing it after a loss when whole team just gave up not the right time.

Yuup, I think the more they speak on it thru the media the worse its gonna get.

 

[blueblood70]

Buffalo destroyed us no doubt but officials seem to always show their ugly heads in some way. That call on Tank was horse crap.

So what's the call on Kearse you're correct they probably beat us either way however it would have been nice to see if any of that momentum that got stopped you know 21 points came on those drives that the defense finally got a stop and then a penalty kept them going so it would be nice to see had those turned into a couple field goals and say they were up 13 to three and then we scored and some momentum went our way how this would have went that's why we never know how these calls affect the game...

Nothing wrong with asking refs questions, nothing wrong with trying to change rules with the committee in the offseason. But when the leaders of your defense are spending time on Social Media caught up on ref calls, especially after a beatdown, it's soft. Plain and simple. It's why we can't shake the label. Listening this week to interviews with some of our key players on that 90's dynasty and their opinion of it confirms it with me. If SM existed then, they wouldn't be wasting their time with this nonsense.
