Even the players know.

Nothing will ever change.

There it is. Thanks for calling it out Tony. You'll get fined, but enough is enough. More players need to make charitable donations in the form of calling out publicly the ref bias.

Jerry did that to the team with his costume.

Here we go again, players blaming the refs. Such a soft look.

You had a 14 point lead in the 4th quarter. Your offense did nothing and your defense gave up two TD drives. That the game was even in OT was entirely your fault.

This is the mentality that’s the problem and produces just ok results. This isn’t a cowboys issue. Every team gets blown calls. The good ones close games out and don’t put them in position to leave up to the refs like we did.

Well, just post some pics side by side of Jerry's costume with the non call for PI in OT. It speaks for itself.

Nobody but maybe the Raiders gets historically hosed as much as the Cowboys do.

Nah. Any fan who has watched this team knew the refs would call phantom flags on that OT drive. I remember after that Davis run I legitimately said out loud...watch them throw a flag on that run. When they did I didn't even have a reaction.

That doesn't matter . The ref still has a job to do. Especially when it's clear

The game shouldn't have been in OT in the first place. Dallas blew it.

It's fine for fans to blame the refs, but the last thing I want is players crying about it in the media. Winners win, losers blame third parties.

This has been happening for years.. it’s a sick joke. I expect nothing else.

Guess it was a soft look when Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and other Ravens called out the officiating against Steelers and Patriots games for years.

It absolutely matters. It's a sign of a soft mentality. "We didn't blow it, the refs screwed us."

Good luck to these players ever winning anything with that mentality.

Those guys won a couple Super Bowls. Let me know when this team comes close to one and we'll talk about it.

it’s just not true. It’s a cop out and a defense mechanism for a fan base that has had a lot of disappointment over the last 27 years. Refs blow calls all the time. They didn’t cost us this game and they don’t cost us most of the games the fans say they do.

Yep. Nothing will ever change as long as this team blames others for their mistakes. They led 28-14 in the 4th and blew it.

None of that absolves the refs though


If a penalty is committed, call it. Simple

 

[JBS]

Yeah they only gave you a free touchdown on a non call false start..and you still lost

any fan who watches this team knows this team has a tendency to commit penalties at horrible times just like it did last year and has pretty often for the last 10 or so years.

It was no different in the playoff game. In big moments this team will make mental mistakes.
