Our Momentum was killed because of one play

[AmericasTeam31]

This is how I feel but the timing of the Felix recovery put us a way and I don't care how good of a team you have you're not over coming a 17 point deficit with that much time left unless you have a miracle.

The Colts did it in 14 minutes... we had 11... and they gave NE a field goal in the meantime?

 

[JBond]

The refs terrible hands to the face call on jenkins.We had 7 there. Yes Im blaming the refs they were terrible and the NFL needed GB to win to keep things interesting.

Not true. According to you the NFL is fixed so one play would not have mattered. Are you a big fan of pro wrestling as well?

 

[The30YardSlant]

Nope. Based on that angle alone, you have no definitive proof that he made contact yet. What was needed was a side angle. Absent that, Dallas keeps the ball.

Look at McBriar's forearm, think about what happens when muscle and flesh is compressed, then realize you're wrong.

 

[VietCowboy]

generally as well when you are gearing up to try and rip out a ball your muscles tense the same way to provide additional power.

it is not conclsuive he is touching the ball. period.

Regardless of the call, that penalty was huge. We probably get 7 points there and it's a different game. But, we shot ourselves in the foot all day and every time we seemed to make a play we either got a penalty or turned it over. Just wasn't our day.

I've read this in almost every thread. What does this mean 'just not our day?' Those two scenearios, many refer to, are of the self-inflicted variety and we do it alot.


How can it not be our day when we made it that way?

 

[alohawg]

I agree with bbgun, if that first picture is your conclusive evidence, you must be watching it in 3-D. Because there's NO WAY and can prove he was touching the ball.

It doesn't matter, yes it seems the refs screwed the Cowboys at every opportunity but Green Bay was the team that came ready to play and Dallas did not, to a man, coaches to kickers.
It starts at the top with Wade(JJ) and Wade(JJ) was in celebration mode after the last week which trickled down throught the entire organization. They thought the Packers would see the star and surrender with lttle resistence, they were wrong. Garrett reverted back super stupid mode, Roy was preoccupied with his panties riding up his butt all day, False start Flozell was slow start Flozell as was the whole o-line, Tony had his blinders on half the time, the defense, especially the secondary, was high school and Wade didn't do anything except get paid.
Now they'll beat the p*ss out of the skins and all will be well until the next debacle.

The fact that some of you will try and argue against physics and anatomy to prove a point is incredible to me

 

[SharutoX]

I think the momentum killer was folk missing his field goal.

You're right. From that angle, we have no way of knowing if McBriar made contact with the returner or the ball when his knee was down.

Not in my book, because the snapshot they showed where his knee was down, McBriars hand was in front of the ball. I don't see how you can prove that he was touching the ball at the point where his knee was down. His hand was blocking the view. Show me the view where you can see both his knee on the ground AND McBriar touching the ball. I didn't see it, not from the one they showed on TV. The ruling on the field was a fumble. I need to see that McBriar's hand was ON the ball (not in front of the ball) when his knee was down. From my recollection, that knee was on the way up, so they would need to prove that.

It was easy to see on the first replay, then the second and on and on and on. Wishing it was a bad call don't make it so.

on the actual replay it was an easy call.

At least the30yardslant is making some good arguments. Saying YOU see it is easy but providing no proof beyond that isn't. It still is a wash in my eyes, and it's not about being a bad call, but about whether or not there was irrefutable evidence for the call to be overturn.

Vietcowboy, that was awesome.

30yardslant, please respond.

You made a nice try to justify your point, but do you really believe the refs were able to make that kind of a educated deduction within moments of the play happening, in the heat of the game?

Besides, the way those guys called this game, I really doubt any of them are bright enough to have figured out your slightly plausible point.

What we saw, live during the game with the ensuing replays, wasn't near enough to overturn that play.

 

[ZeroClub]

The fact that there is no agreement about which play was "the play" suggests that there were several plays that made the difference.

7 out of 10 times, the Cowboys win that game. This time there were several unlucky plays and the Cowboys lost.

... I'm more concerned about the injuries than the loss.

agreed.

We shot ourselves in the foot. literally.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Bottom line is we got screwed by the refs. Now does that obsolve Roy of his fumble or the o-line for not blocking, or Folk missing another FG, ect......

Of course not, we played like dog crap for most of the game. However, if anybody thinks the refs were not "helping" Green Bay, they are delusional.

Its called "home cooking" in the NFL and if anybody thinks it does not happen, they are naive.

 

[jobberone]

totally agree buddy, im putting together a petition to send to refs and commissionier goodell on fans upset at poor officiating; want to sign it when i get it ready? also going to write a story on poor officiating, like one year in one game the refs admitted to blowing 9 calls, 9 calls in one game;

we as cowboys fans have to stick together and get the commissioiner and competition committee with the owners to do something about poor ref calling

Good luck with that.

 

[alancdc]

Well, if you think about it, technically as well, they gifted them the TR fumble as well since CLEARLY FJ had possession of the ball and was down. Should have blown the whistle, instead, allowed for the play to continue.

Furthermore, can someone help me out on that McBriar Fumble? where's the conclusive evidence if someone can provide that, I would love to see it. In my opinion still, I don't think the evidence was perfectly conclusive since wasn't his knee on it's way back up when he was "touched." The replay they showed on TV had a blocked view - meaning that while McBriar's hand was IN FRONT of the ball, it never showed WHEN McBriar touched the ball, but it was quick and I might have missed the indisputable conclusive evidence that allowed the refs to overturn it.

Love the word, FURTHERMORE.

 

[Clove]

If we had lost by 2 points or something, you COULD have a case, but we were basically blown out, made a scrub score at the end of the game.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Momentum killers:
1) Romo overthrowing a wide-open Austin for a TD on the opening drive.
2) Folk, then, missing a chip shot 36 yd FG.
3) The idiotic hands to the face call against Jenkins. Total BS call.
4) The idiot Roy W fumbling a ball in the open field.
5) The idiot Roy W getting hit in the face with the ball.
6) The sack by Woodson.
7) The refs jobbing the Cowboys on the ensuing fumble.

There is your game.
