Penalties

[phildadon86]

can anyone sit there with a straight face and tell me the referees didn’t try their best to screw us out of a win? Dak took a shot to the head, cousins took the same hit and it was a penalty dak no call? ***?

The Dak play absolutely was a penalty by how they call the game today. But it seems we rarely get those calls for us going back to the Romo days. Romo rarely ever got them. I don't know why it is like that.

But this OL has to clean up their penalties. Ticky tac calls or not, it seems penalties are a major thorn for us year after year. That's being undisciplined and sloppy. And that goes to coaching.

We're a top-10 least penalized team in 2017. 2016 we were ~15th, IIRC.

Dak is tough, Cousins seems a lil soft. Dak just needs to watch more basketball, and perfect the flop technic.

Yes. I can.

I think they get marching orders from the brass to help underdog teams so that the games are closer,,,, or maybe it's a 'benefit of a doubt' that they are supposed to extend to home teams. Who knows, but it's pretty obvious that they don't call some games 'straight'.

Spot on, I Watched the Seahawks Steelers Superbowl. A Falcon player was even quoted last year after beating the Packers in the play-offs that they weren't so good when the game got called evenly.
