Officials vs Cowboys

[aenimopiate]

I am just sick and tired of the officiating staff this year. Every possible call they think they can make against the Cowboys, they are making. Is it just me or do they seem like they're out to get the Boys. Not once have they called a running into the kicker penalty when McBriar gets knocked down. If TO doesn't hand over the football to a ref with a dozen red roses, he gets penalized for delay of game. The other teams do the same as TO, if not worse, yet no call. TO made a beautiful catch, got one foot in, the other foot was coming down inbounds, he got hit, and they called it no catch. The Boys made that pass to TO, the refs stood there while the clock was ticking down to 0 and finally made a call. The Boys spiked the ball to stop play, then the officials decide the cowboys might have a chance to win, so they ignore their own rule about if the next play has taken place, no review may be conducted. Roy Williams is one of the best safeties in the game....hmmmmm, how can they screw him over....I KNOW!!!! Lets make a new rule that specifically targets him!!! BRILLIANT!!! Here's one last one: the review of JJ's run where they determined his knee was down was almost identical to the review I saw in the Bears/Packers game. The result of the review was the same. The Packers won the review, but were charged with a timeout; fine. The Bills won the review, but were able to keep their timeout; what's going on here?


WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!?

Don't forget all the holding calls they miss.

Yeah, and don't forget they screwed us at the end of the first half in Chicago.

I don't know. I think the officials miss calls both ways, but there are a few that just make you shake your head. Winding the clock after a sack on fourth down is absolutely unforgivable. Wade couldn't even throw his flag because its in the last 2 minutes.

The non-call on the PI on the 2-point conversion in Buffalo was ridiculous. I can let the non-call on the push out slide because its at least possible that the Side Judge had his view obstructed by a 2nd player, and nobody else had the angle to make the call. Thats to be expected a couple of times a game. But getting screwed on the procedural stuff should never happen to any team. If the ref screws up, he should do anything in the rules to get the call right, eventually.

Did you also notice that it took the refs over 10 seconds to get the ball spotted after the TO booth-review play? Its like they wanted to go home or something.

I think at this point, the Boys on defense are afraid to make any tackles for fear of being penalized.

And don't forget the "slick ball" on the game winning FG.

Wow-despite getting shafted by the refs in Chicago and Buf, we STILL win-POETIC JUSTICE!
