Its not a QB or Dez issue. Its a lack of offensive scheme to exploit mismatches and get people open. Romo was a wizard who could work around the limitations of the scheme. Dak is too young to expect to be able to do what Romo learned to do.

Collinsworth was like how was that not defensive PI and they showed the replay again to demonstrate how bad it was..

Al Michaels.. who knows what he was seeing..

Great graphic portral of the 5 yard zone where you can make contact, and the fact that this one happened in the end zone, with a direct to the chest push off......

I thought 2 refs were supposed to watch this, where was the other one.

Will never happen, but to me let the coaches challenge stuff like that. Sure it may slow down, a slowed down game anyway, but when its that obvious it should be worth the gamble of a timeout. Especially in a tight game.

Garrett should have slammed his head set and went after the ref just to keep them on notice... or even Dak should have yelled at the ref like Tom Brady.. if Dez does it, it looks like it’s just whining to most people.. this is a case where Dak has to come to bat for his teammate..

But his throw was pretty awful too on that play...

I think our WR struggles this year are even further highlighting the pure magic that Romo worked in this offense. Romo made the careers of so many average receivers: Crayton, Robinson, Austin, Williams' first few years. He also had Dez looking like a top 3 receiver.

I get the feeling the opposing staff know they can get away more vs the Cowboys. Alll they have to do is watch the film. It’s easy to see.

I love the reversal of the false start after the teams were nearly ready for the next snap. You won’t see anything close to that one again. Just odd.

I'm not gonna blame the refs for why we are losing.......I never bring them up......but there's a lack of flags coming our way. Is this the Goodell v Jerry effect? Because I watch other teams play.....am I suppose to believe every week offensive lines are perfect against us?
Yes. Yes you are. Ask several of our experts on the Zone. This happens to every team. Nothing extraordinary about it.

There is very little doubt that Dez was interfered with on at least one of the passes last night, and it wasn't called. Having said that the officials were pretty consistent in not calling PI last night, which is about all you can ask for.

As a side note, Dez is supposedly a beast of epic proportions physically and that is "his game". If Dez can't do that what the **** is he good for? Its absurd to be making excuses for Dez every ******* game.

I had to laugh when Dez was pushed in the endzone by the eagles DB which should have been a penalty and Al Michaels said if anything it should be offensive pass interference. He said that and I said out load...What kind of crack are you using? My dogs just looked at me as a spoke out to myself in frustration lol.

That was so bad that I was wondering if the NFL Front Office had told the refs to favor the Eagles. That was textbook defensive pass interference and the Refs didn't even think of throwing a flag. Also it was funny that Al Michaels said it could be offensive until they showed the replay and then he didn't say a word. If that play isn't PI then nothing is.

There was also a sideline pass that was overthrown where Dez took a shot a full step out of bounds with no flag thrown.

That play was when I abandoned all hope. The NFL has broke me. I no longer care. If something that obvious is not going to be called, there is no chance to win.
I honestly did too. I just got numb....it finally hit me that we will never do anything as long as Jerry is owner.

Take Alshon Jeffery from the Eagles and switch him with Dez Bryant and the eagles just got scary.
Line Dez up with Tom Brady, Arron Rodgers, Drew Brees and your mouth would get shut for you.

How many playoff games did Romo win with the great Dez Bryant and their amazing connection? LOL
