Couldn't believe they didn't call the force out on TO, it was blatant, reviewed and replayed over and over, how do you get away with not giving that one?

The Watkins interference was marginal and if called at all should have gone against Moss.

The Kosier hold was legit but that was the exception.

The only 50-50 call that went our way was the pass interference called on Moss to wipe out his second 'TD' and by his reaction it looks like that was the right call.

Who knows how this game turns out if called fairly, certainly not the way it did with the Patriots playing a man up for 60 minutes.

This game tells me that if we play as well as we have at times this season, beating the Cheatriots isn't mission impossible.

Total fix job, nobody can say with a straight face it was a level playing field today.

please stop....

The refs weren't great, but they didn't the gap that large.

 

[dthahn]

I wouldn't say it was fixed BUT there was certainly a bias in favor of New England and against the Cowboys. There were several questionable and dubious calls and no-calls against the Cowboys. There were NONE against the Patriots. This represents a definite BIAS!!!

However, the Cowboys shot themselves in the foot too many times by wiping out first downs and big plays with penalties. Barber's run for a 1st down that was called back by Kosier's hold was a KILLER! We most likely score after that play and tie the score rather than punt and allow the Pats to score. That's a 14 point turnaround.

I knew right then the game was over, no way the refs were going to let the Pats lose today.

Some can bury their head in the sand and pretend everything is legit, but after this game, after the slick ball in Buffalo, after the blatant screw job in Chicago.........it is not a coincidence people, it is a pattern. A very disturbing pattern of one-sided officiating in almost every game.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

STOP WHINING! I'm so SICK of after every single freaking game everyone is whining about officials. Just accept we didnt play well and take the loss. Jesus this board is full of a bunch of sore, whiny *** losers.

We got beat, plain and simple. Accept it, move on, and stick a freakin thumb in your mouth to suck on and stop your damn crying.

 

[RomoFan4ever]

I warned you before the game...

NFL is rigged for Pats to cover up Cheat-Gate.

TO push out, Moss TD, numerous mysterious holding calls, one bringing back a TD and another a 4th down conversion. And worst of all, the PI on the drive after we went up (on Moss/Watkins). Total BS--not complete anyway (too high) and Moss ran into watkins, not other way around. This was the game changing play. We had scored three drives in a row and stopped them once. We take it down and score again and we got a two score lead in the 4th.

WOW--look at the numbers of penalties. It's ridiculous.

1. TO pushout-we scored anyways

2. PI on Moss-I was more angry we didn't make a defensive stand on that drive, ESPECIALLY after getting back the momentum

3. Pats' OL wasn't holding, come on. I'm a homer, but let's get real

4. Kosiar DID hold Brushki-but he DIDN'T HAVE TO

Dude-it's not like we're 1-5

:fact:

No question about it. It doesn't matter a damn bit. Our defense couldn't stop them on 3rd down, we were obviously offsides on two of the conversions, we had a huge hold on offense on that 4th and 1 when we were still in the game. These are all penalties that were obviously called correctly. It doesn't matter. We had our chances and we screwed it up.

Hey genius, when an undefeated team complains about the officiating after every single game, it is not whining. It is called a pattern.

If you watched the Chicago game, the Buffalo game, and this game, there is no way with a straight face you can say the officiating has not been horrendous this year against Dallas.

So before you call everybody on this board a whinner, maybe you need to go look up some stats first. You will see Dallas is one of, if not the most penalized team in the NFL this year.

Go ahead, bury your head in the sand and pretend everything is legit.

If you dont have a problem with the officiating in that game.....WOW, JUST WOW.

I could lay out example after example of blatant no calls againt the Pats and tick tack crap against us, but whats the point.

I guess diving into Romo's knees is fine with you also.....WOW

And Roy didn't dive at Brady's knees? Ooooohkay. Listen, some went against us, but it doesn't matter what's called against you if you can't stop the other teams offense. And when you still have a chance on 4th and 1 to put yourself right back in the game and you tackle the damn linebacker, there is no one to blame but you. We had our chances and we blew it.

The Patriots are the better team at this point. Period.

There were two instances that we jumped offsides today that it wasnt called. Newman had a helmet to helmet hit against the Bills that wasnt called, and Hamlin had one against the Rams that wasnt called. Roy's horsecollar the other week was deemed a 5 yard facemask instead of a 15 yard PF.

Bad calls happen to every team, not just us. Am I saying that there has been perfectly called games for us? No. Am I saying that there have been bad officiating games? Yes. Point is a lot of you on this board go so far overboard on your whining about the officiating its absolutely ridiculous. Bad calls happen to every team, so get over it and stop crying.

I think you need to invest in a TiVO so you can rewatch plays.

Roy hit Brady square in the hip, totally legal and for you to say he dove at his knees shows your bias against Roy. Now go to the play where Romo is hit right on the side of his legs. Good thing he was kinda turned to the side or his whole knee would have been wiped out.

Like I said, maybe you need to buy a TIVO if you think Roy's hit on Brady and the defender wiping out Romo's legs are the same....WOW

The officiating on BOTH sides has gotten progressively worse in recent years.

Yes-I agree with everyone you said, but I thought these refs do alot of practicing et al in the offseason? No? B/c they've missed alot of calls every week that you can see with the naked eye.

Honestly though-SB40 still has me suspicious.

 

[MC KAos]

it does seem like a lot of calls are going against us, and some unfairly. but like someone said earlier, our inability to stop them on third and longs was our downfall. the fact that we feel the refs screwed us over is just the fans in us, but that non push out call on TO was pretty bad and now two weeks running.

You forgot to mention the defender going helmet to helmet on the overthrown pass to Witten on the sideline. If you want to talk about previous games, how about the 5 horse collars that were not called on the Bears.

I could lay out example after example in this game and you still would have no clue.......so whats the point.

I would say by the posts in this thread, about 90% agree with me. So why dont you go over to your favorite Pats board and celebrate with them, OK.

How stupid can you get? Because I decide to be un-biased and say something that isnt overly positive about the Cowboys and I dont bash the ref's I'm a Patriots fan?

This is getting to be ridiculous. Anyone who doesnt have a Pro-Cowboys opinion on everything is just being accused of a Patriots fan.

I've seen someone with over 12,000 posts here have the same thing said to him. Pathetic.
