Officiating was terrible

[BrassCowboy]

It was very one sided. Helmet to helmet on Dak was awful, that is a flag almost every time these days.

But aikman said that was a good no-call...

Did the oline get called for any holding calls? I find it hard to believe a bunch of backups didn’t get calls once for holding on one of the best pass rushing defense in the league

This should ruin your day.

Felt this was thread worthy.

One of the most biased ref jobs I can remember in recent times.

You are absolutely right and I'm sick of it happening. The NFL loves to promote "America's Team" but they don't do them any favors. It's the holding calls that are so ridiculous. Other teams don't get penalized for the same plays the Cowboys do. I hate sounding like a big whiner but I'm afraid to see a flag after every big play.

Goodell will hack them and program them specifically for Cowboys games.

Probably so with some electronic over ride system he controlled from his lair inside of a volcano somewhere. Of course his head will probably be in a jar like Futurama or he will also be a robot himself.

Jerry is holding up Goddell’s extension, expect reffing like this all year.

I was trying to be level headed about officiating but that last PI to put the Skins on the 1 in scoring position was infuriating. The receiver dramatically fell to the ground and whined for a flag and the ref was eating out of his hand.

Even the play where the Skin player running out of bounds and coming back in to touch the ball - it took them forever to actually call that. Shows how in disarray the refs were today.

 

[Lutonio]

The official write up on NFL.com called some of them bogus.

 

[drawandstrike]

The missed call on the pick play alone was God awful.

Oh the skins ran that pick play SEVERAL TIMES and it was never called.

 

[T-RO]

The league is dark and full of terrors.

I say that half in jest.

Well...Actually I'm pretty serious. I'm not far from walking away on the sport as I did the NBA. Corruption and agenda is thick as syrup.

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

The officiating was awful and kept the game much closer than it should have been. I'm so tired of ticky tack holding calls against the Cowboys every game when the opposing offenses get flagged once every solar eclipse for holding.

Hopefully Cowboys fans are smarter than Eagles, Giants and Skins fans and better able to hack thr robots...

Unfortunately MIT is in Patriot land...

It wasn't just the sheer volume of penalties called against us. Almost every one of them directly affected the momentum of the game (ex. Taking points away, giving Skins life on their drives, changing momentum etc)

On that STs play they should have penalized them 15 yards for unsportsman like conduct. He did not try to immediately come back in the field choosing to run down the white until he needed to come back in for the ball.

Unreal. I mean, c'mon.

 

[Redball Express]

Walt Coleman and his crew sucked ***

Aikman was speechless.

He kept rerunning the play and called the refs out and Blandino did, too.

Washington could have won this game deep into the 4th Qt.

At least we know we can win in crappy weather.

That's something.

 

[Proximo]

I "liked" almost every post in this thread because it's so true. Just absolutely atrocious officiating.

If you're going to be ticky-tacky do it both ways.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Not speaking to the other penalties but some of our fanbase needs to learn what a freakin hold is.

 

[drawandstrike]

Last time the Cowboys had the other teams OLine called for holding was the Arizona game. Imagine that. Nobody's held a Cowboy defender in the last 4 complete games.

You need to learn your manners and good sense.

Holding can be called most every down in football...esp. if one wants to get ticky-tack about it. The fact that no opposing team has been called for holding in 4 games against us--and 1/3 of the ones going against us are ticky-tack...the complaints here are very much with merit.

 

[Verdict]

In a league that protects the QB, I can't believe they didn't flag the helmet to helmet shot on Dak.

They only protect the QBs they want to protect.
