Terrible call against Claiborne

[theebs]

I don't think the mo call was bad

But there is absolutely no excuse for the whole officiating crew to miss a blatant helmet to helmet on Escobar.

It should have been 1st and ten at the 50, instead it was 2nd and 6 or whatever and then romo fumbled.

Every year when we go on the road in these types of games obvious calls like this are missed.

I saw that, but chalk tat up to contact football, like you expect.

Sure but it's a point of emphasis for the officials and they are calling everything around the head, so how do they not throw an obvious one?

Flat out terrible call. No holding call on Ware earlier in the drive which sprung the RB for 16 yards was also terrible. With that said, Dallas had many opportunities to take this game. Too many third and long situations. This team can't win consistently like that and need to be productive on early downs.

you can mug Romo and Ware on the field and its never called. SOmetimes even in front of the ref.

That one and the offensive pass inteference were very rough on us today.

the phantom PI penalty on Dez completely stopped our momentum...we were up 10-7 and would've probably scored again that drive....most likely a TD. GD that was a killer.....I know Dez dropped a ball later but that PI call was a complete screw job. This league is a friggin' joke.

That was the worst officiated game I've seen in a while. That bad call on moe sealed it.

gotta tell you, I"ve NEVER been a conspiracy theorist or whiner but it's so blanking frustrating the last few seasons...I mean, it's not like this is new or anything. I feel like we had our run for years and they don't want ANY part of us getting back on top. We had 3 horrible and assinine calls go against us today. Plus, our own self induced penalties reared their head in the second half too. That can't be overlooked

Great defense by Mo gets penalty that ends game. Check it out. Please refrain from stating the usual about how poorly we played, etc.

It was questionable , no doubt...

I didn't think it was an awful call. Given Claiborne having his arm around his waist and Avery kinda flailed; I can see why it was called. I don't think it was a PI, but I can understand the call. Now the PI on Dez was flat out horrible.

Considering the situation it was a ridiculous call, makes you wonder what the heck is going on. Maybe the nlf should enforce another salary cap penalty now that the cowboys look to be contenders again

So much to be up in arms on that play....
First of all on a very tight game deciding play like that, historically refs have errored on the side that quite frankly need the call. Right or wrong that's usually the way it goes.
2nd. On a bang bang play like that, If the defender is playing the ball and bats it down, he gets the benfit of the doubt.

3rd and probably most important, its a bad play on Mo's part. You need to understand the situation and play that a little softer. Don't go for the ball on a 7 yard slant on 3rd and 10, play the man, make the sure tackle 1-2 yards short of the 1st down.

I think if people watch the play, as I did on DVD, you can see left Mo's arm over the receive's back but Mo does not twist the body. Mo simply jumps ahead of the receiver to deflect the pass. That play should have been ideal for that play, not getting pi. I can almost see a shred of dh but the play was near 5 yards and I did not see the r's body move. Avery and the fan noise sold the pi.

That play could cost us a playoff bid.

Didn't think it was much of a foul, but I figured it was a make-up for the bad pass interference call on the interception.

The bad call on the int was a makeup call for the bad Off PI call on Bryant.

Calls were missed or made both ways.

Who was the guy on punt team who basically suplexed someone by their facemask? The PI call that negated the INT was also very, very iffy.
