This is the second game straight where the coach, QB etc blamed refs. Dak told reporters “kudos to them” when he found out the fans threw debris at refs. McCarthy whined about “letting them play.” Sorry but this is what happens when a team has no backbone and sn owner allows excuses. It’s trash. Refs aren’t making your guys jump offsides or put hands to the face or have false starts. Trash attitude
Step up and say we were outplayed

They're getting it from McCarthy. He is an excuse maker. Go watch his PC's from last year. The guy leaned heavily into the Covid excuses to explain his team's performance.

Punched in the mouth early, undisciplined throughout, and OC abandoning any type of innovation. KMoore should fly to Jax on JJ's plane instead of Jax owner sending one for him. Moore is a fraud OC.

Yeah, it's McCarthy's fault. Whose fault was it under Garrett, Phillips, Parcells, Campo, and Gailey? More importantly, who hired all of them?

I’m not blaming the refs. The 49ers were the better team. But watch the 49ers second drive kittle clips Donovan Wilson in the back and looks back at the ref knowing he’s guilty and it would’ve been a tackle for no gain on 2nd and 6. Later in the drive Tomlinson tackles OSA nasty and the running back gets a 1st down. Just needs to be called a little more even.

Jerry pointing fingers at the people he hired/paid. Head coach and QB pointing fingers at the refs.

This organization has become so soft, and it starts at the top.

They're extravagant, have the best facilities, do HBO series, have the most games on national TV, and crap the bed in big games. How 'bout THESE Cowboys? :rolleyes:
Who's pointing the finger at the GM? If the GM doesn't have to look at himself in the mirror, why should anyone else? I have never heard Jerry say he has to do better.

The officials were making calls in favor of swinging momentum towards San Francisco. Anyone thats not antagonistic can see that. The refs should be more respectful to the game off football even in Jerry Jones stadium or they can be escorted to another stadium accordingly. Half of y’all aren’t watching the game or aren’t real fans of the actual game.

That guy calling our offense doesn’t have it and should coach college or something. He hasn’t done anything for the offense all season and should be thankful talent got him recognized around the league.

And real losers let bad calls and say it's just part of the game.

Letting yourself get cheated doesn't make you a man, it makes you a sucker. Or if you prefer a cuckold. It makes you a loser cause when you're cheated you tend to lose.

It's not an excuse because the truth is you can play poorly and still be cheated by bad officiating. You can execute badly and still be cheated by bad officiating. You can fall way behind early and still get cheated by bad officiating.

Accepting bad officiating is what real losers do, because they will keep losing because of it because they'll come back for more rather than push for improvement.

Embarrassing.
How about actually being aware of the rules and handing the ball to the official you donut!?

Lost in the discussions is the fact that the cowboys got beat in the trenches on both sides of the ball today.



hard to win when that happens.
We were totally manhandled in the trenches. Absolute joke. I can live without everyone on that offensive line not named Martin. Tyron is unreliable due to injuries and when he does play it hasn't been good. Collins, aka mr suspension, has been bad this year. Collins and Steele and maybe BDZ I would want back.

gaming the refs is part of all sports though. you guys are to obsessed with optics.

You work the refs to get more favorable calls, it happens in all of sports.

However, I hate to break the news to you, but telling the media you are happy that fans are pelting the refs with beer bottles after a loss is not exactly the way to get more calls.

Going to be a hell of a long time before Dak ever gets another roughing call, ref will look at Dak laying on the ground and say "dam, I guess I missed that helmet to helmet shot, my bad".

The refs will never help us out or give us benefit of doubt like they do some teams. In order to even get to a Super Bowl again we are going to need to have clearly a dominate/best team in the NFL. Currently we are very very far from that. It may never happen again.
They took a 1st down away from the 49ers on their last drive, and they called a false start on the following 4th and inches play.
