I don't consider myself a whiner and I know how it looks when you the blame the officials for losing a game, but I watched the Game today with a few of my best buddies.
One is a devout forskin fan, one is a devout iggles fan and believe it or not two are devout gints fans, and they all agreed that the officiating was questionable at best.
We all agreed that the calls probably didn't cost us the game, but they sure didn't help ,and then again ,who knows???

So, if the CowBoy's arch enemies see what most here on the forum saw ,Well,, it says something.:confused:

That girl in your avatar is hot, who is she :)

The officials were pathetic once again but it didnt matter the defense had absolutely no answer for the Patriots offense.

The Barber 4th down call was bull?!?!?! Geez Kosier had BOTH arms wrapped around the defender and tackled him.

Now the Moss call was a bad call but not the Barber call.

Yes it was a hold but given all the camera angles and slow motion I could find a lot of holding on the New England third down conversions that didn't get called. Some of them you could see at regular speed.

I don't have a lot of problems with the penalties that were called except for one. The PI on Watkins in the end zone on third down was really pathetic. It wasn't even close, but the call was made. That gave the Pats a first and goal at the one rather than forcing them to kick a field goal. It was really a terrible call. I do find it hard to believe that with as much pressure as we were bringing that N.E.'s O line didn't get any penalties??????

Even if they thought it was a force out after the replay they couldnt have changed it because it was ruled a regular catch, not a catch by force out.

I believe you are wrong about that. Once a play goes to review, everything that happened in the play is up for review. I thought there was a chance that the Ref would rule pushed out.

The refs did a real poor job BUT I believe Dallas killed itself with poor discipline, Wade Phillips will have to get on them...

Harrison gets on my nerves....he is one of the dirtiest players in the league and takes cheap shot after cheap shot......but he was whining all game and getting used and abused too.

The fact is, for the last 4-5 years, the Pats have been allowed to be more physical, especially with their DBs and LBs. They are allowed to take cheap shots and the refs turn the other cheek.

The league turns its back when it is the Patriots, but everyone else gets penalized, fined, and suspended.

I knew the refs would give the Pats some calls, but today was ridiculous. If the Pats are so good, why do they need the refs too?

The Refs really turned it on in the second half. As soon as we took the lead, those zebras took over, just as much as the Patriots offense.

I can't believe they called us for roughing the passer on that deep pass to Moss, yet on the next drive, a Pats defender took Romo out below his knees and no penalty. You can't go below the knees of the QB, and they did it on that play.

TO was forced out on that pass, it was obvious. I cannot believe they called it incomplete. If Fasano was guilty of offensive PI, then Moss should have when he ran into either Watkins or Hamlin in the end zone. The Pats RT was consistently false starting, but the refs called it zero times (at least call it once or twice please). Also, the Pats were holding too, but did they call it, NO.....

Honestly, we made a lot of dumb penalties today. I will say all but 2 of them were legit. I don't think the roughing the passer was legit, nor was the PI on Moss. I am not complaining so much on the refs calls against us. I am upset that the Pats were allowed to have multiple infractions just not be called. It is actually pathetic, not cause it happened to us, but because it happens week in and week out.

But then again, they are the Cheatriots and Goodell is their puppet.

Penalties have been big against Dallas all season....legit or not.

We just have to overcome them, which we have done all season, up until tonight.

We're not the only fans complaining about calls made or not made....it's league wide. We just have to live with it, cut down on them , and overcome them.

did anyone else notice on that one run by MB3 where he almost got tackled for a safety, that just before he ran back into the end zone, they grabbed and twisted his face mask, then let it go before he ran back into the end zone?

that should have been a 15 yder......

No No No...it is quite clear that the Refs are just out to get the Cowboys.;)

we were docked for 14 penalties. We were called for a few more that were declined. However, of the 14 that were called, I feel at least 2 were bogus. The rest we actually committed.....the false starts, procedure, holds, offsides....we were just horrible and undisciplined.....

my beef is that the refs turned the other cheek quite often on the Pats infractions.

Ok.....yeah, it's whiny to complain about the officiating.

But it seems that every single game has us wondering what the officials were thinking.

These aren't penalites like Flozell false-starting (wow! he didn't have one penalty today....see! something was wrong with the officials!), they're ticky-tack penalties that only seem to come when we make a big play. When we're on defense, Ware is held continually with no calls.

I'm not calling conspiracy. I just think the officials are keeping a closer eye on us.

I bet there are many fans of every other team saying the same thing.

I am not saying the officials are not missing calls or doing a bad job.

I just somehow don't buy into the belief that they are just doing it to Dallas.

Sorry...I have a tin foil hat in waiting for special things, the conspiracy that the refs are out to get the Cowboys is just not one of them.:laugh1:

yeah the officiating was bad. It has almost become as bad as the NBA. It looked like our guys were getting held all night trying to get to Brady but I cant remember one holding call on any of their O-line. Pretty frustrating

Thats one of the biggest issues I had. I doubt we would have won this game anyhow, but the offsides they called on us was BS, and the holding calls didn't go both ways. The refs don't seem to think much of TO either, because he never gets any calls his way.

Everything aside, we just need to fight back and play ball next week and worry about our division.
