It's pathetic. It's worse than the NBA at this point.

Nobody, I mean NOBODY is going to convince me that officials are not screwing us.

Our front 7 is just obliterating people, and we almost NEVER see an opposing OL called for holding. It is freaking IMPOSSIBLE for teams to go game after game with no holding calls. Yet our guys get called for the most borderline, ticky tack b/s almost every week.

And that call on Newman was absolutely horrible.

I wouldnt go that far, considering the NBA has had at least two instances in it's history of refs "fixing" games.

But yes, it is getting worse every year

When the giants #12 was called for offensive PI, if you go back and look at the play, you will see a real obvious illegal hands to the face by one of the Giants, and that was not called either. There should have been 2 flags on that.

The one thing is, the Cowboys should know that every game they play they have to go against the refs and will to just be prepared to deal with it and overcome the refs being out to screw Dallas.

Sure seems like they are doing their best to help out the Steelers this year.

It really is at a point where the league has credibility issues and you chronically question if money is influencing calls.

That PI on Newman was a crock and so was the hands to the face on Gurode. Not only was Gurode's hand in the neck area, you can also see the defense tackle grabbed his facemask and jerked it right after the snap.

That said if Romo hits a few open WRs we would be winning by a larger margin.

I agree 100% I honestly don't even think refs are looking at other teams...just focusing on Dallas.

The call in Newman was BS, but the call on Gurode was a fair call. Regardless, I have seen several things done by the Giants on both sides of the trenches and the refs are just turning a blind eye to it. We should be used to it, whoever the Boyz play we have to go against the refs as well. I can not even begin to remember a fairly officiated game where the refs were not out to screw Dallas.

Refereeing has gotten worse every year, this year being the worst I have ever seen it.

Not only Dallas, but a lot of teams have had calls against them that were game deciders.

Consistency is absent in officiating in this league.

I said this about 5 years ago. They call games certain ways and its intended. It has nothing to do with the officiating being bad.

We won this game, but I still think the officiating was definitely questionable, as I usually do :)

Some games are definitely fixed in little ways. I watched every game for like 4 yrs and then I realized. I still like watching Dallas though for nostalgia's sake.

We have one the best, if not the best front 7's in the NFL.

I would like to see how many holding penalties have been called on opposing offensive lines during this season.

Teams can't NOT afford to hold vs. Dallas.

Yet, you rarely see a call.

It's a disgrace.

Giants OL, no holding calls despite getting their arses whipped for 60 minutes, and this with TWO backups in the game in the 2nd half.

Like I said:

G A R B A G E

We should get credit for two wins tonight because we definitely beat two teams.

Just because the NFL refs haven't got caught doesn't mean they don't try to fix games. At least in the NBA a bad doesn't have much influence as a bad call in the NFL does.

Tonight was horrible. Its really becoming obvious that the refs want us to lose in every possible way for some reason which I can only imagine.

Refs have already given the Steelers one Super Bowl. Isn't that enough?
