Officiating was terrible

[StylisticS]

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

Yeah I don't know how that didn't get called. That and the hit on Dak as he was sliding.

 

[Oh_Canada]

An absolute joke.

So the best oline in football held four times, while the never were's on the other side not once????

Anthony Brown's call was a sham and obviously done to keep the game in reach.

 

[Oh_Canada]

And yet, they didn't call anything. They didn't call anything against us on the Commanders fumbles, either. They even let the pick six slide.

Seems like some piss poor execution of screwing the Cowboys.

They did call back a td and effectively kill another two drives though, oh and call another pi on Dallas in the end zone for playing defense.

The refereeing was terrible. It seriously takes the enjoyment out of watching games when they're decided by capricious calls and not by the players. And it's not just Cowboys games.

Apparently Zach Brown thought the refs were pro Dallas

Linebacker Zach Brown wasn't happy with some non-calls: "Sometimes the refs need to open their eyes. A lot of people grabbing us, tackling us and they're not throwing the flag. At the same time we have to make sure we're not putting it in the refs hands."

We have been hosed badly now pretty consistently for the past several years. Any big game you can tell we are going to get broken over like a shotgun at least once on a change momentum on a dime play. I was SHOCKED they didn't find some reason to over turn the blocked field goal play today.

So was I. I was just waiting for the yellow "flag" marker to pop up on the TV screen

Yet Dallas had 8 flags for what 90 yards? lol

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

Getting pretty sick of Cowboys QBs not getting the same protection as the other 31 teams. Earlier in the year, during multiple games the defense would be unabated to the QB and the refs kept letting the play go on. Dak would get hit and they would take the 5 yard offsides. But if any of those players wanted to, they had clear paths to absolutely level Dak. Von Miller in particular just eased all the way up when he could have knocked him out cold.

It’s not a new trend as Romo dealt with the same exact crap for his entire career.

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.

One of the bonuses of having a team immediately re-kick the ball is the coverage has to do it twice back to back. I can’t tell you how many big returns I’ve seen over the years on punts or kicks that had to be done twice in a row. Tired players make mistakes.

 

[Cmac]

As Charles Barley would say.....Turrible.....Ref on the PI waited until Doctson begged.

 

[Doomsay]

I want to see Garrett turn more red than his hair, with spit flying out of his mouth, while he's yelling at the next official that blows a call.

It's time.

Most unintimidating sideline presence in the game, the refs barely acknowledge his existence.

yeah it's not just a cowboy games and the calls are bad on both sides both teams.
In the San Francisco game, San Francisco was called off sides. the next play a San Francisco lineman lined up way over the line of scrimmage his whole body was in the neutral zone and his hand was past the ball, and they didn't call it.!
I couldn't believe it and I can't explain it.

 

[DandyDon52]

Mini things that should be called aren't being called and then some things that they do call seem like they shouldn't be called so that makes it look pretty bad I don't know what's going on.

 

[DogFace]

Right...right...with you it's never mind the facts, let me spin my theories.

You’re being stupid again.

Explain the no holds on four games. Then show me how that’s a common occurrence in the league.

You can’t and you won’t. You’ll come back with some ***hole statement that has very little to do with anything.

 

[DogFace]

That might be the worst reasoning and logic I’ve heard. We’re saying they missed several calls. Which is clear. No one is saying they they had a plan to call back every single score or good play by the Cowboys.

No holds in 4 games. That’s odd.

 

[John813]

Hate when they call minor holding calls on one team and allow the other team to armbar or grab all day long.

 

[gimmesix]

The hands to the face on Byron was a joke. Tyron's hold on the EE TD was a poor call. I thought the pick play was reasonable.




YR

I agree. Most of the calls against us didn't bug me because they were legitimate. (Even Tyron was holding, but if you call that then you have to call holding on every play.) What bugged me was that it seemed like the officials were not watching Washington's line as closely. It's hard to see all the holding without close-ups of the line play but there was a particular one that stood out where Lawrence got around the tackle and was headed toward the quarterback when he was suddenly jerked backward. If the officials had been watching their line as closely as ours, then they should have caught that. The fact that they caught none by a bunch of backups and street free agents gives the appearance of bias.
