That game shouldn't have been close

[Blackrain]

It just goes to show you that a few untimely penalties and the officials missing calls in your behalf can really even out a game in a hurry.

176 yd rushing 200 and some yards passing no interceptions no fumbles no sacks our quarterback played pretty much a perfect game.

Our defense got I don't know how many sacks and a pick at the end of the game.

How could the game have been this close. With the personnel we had we couldn't really have played a better game. Jerry needs to use his power and influence and have a discussion with the powers to be in the league and go over those videos that show the officiating is flat out against us unless he's on board with it because it keeps viewers watching the game

 

[J-man]

You are correct sir.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Nope.

Lamb catches that pass it's a TD. That's 7 points.
The refs do their job and call that PI in the endzone. That's 7 points.
The refs do their job and call that hold when they blocked Noah Brown on his route. That's AT LEAST 3 points.
When we were up 10 and Quinn for some reason decides to sit Parsons and Tank until the Giants get into FG range and then put them in. The Giants may not have gotten anything.

We should've won that game by AT LEAST 17.

There were some blatant holding calls missed by the refs. The league had better review those and take action. They weren't even close to being ticky tak. They were blatant holds by the giants that killed drives.

Not only needs to send those horrific calls to the NFL FO, but needs to pressure them as well somehow, or be in their ear constantly until thongs change.
MM needs to be in their ear during the game as well.

Now that OPI on the NYG seemed a bit far fetched, but no where near a make up call costing us a TD.

It's been like that for years....

 

[ChuckA1]

The look on the ref's face when he had to call intentional grounding said it all! He looked like he was about to cry

 

[RS12]

As long as a game that shouldn't have been this close doesn't turn into a loss all is well. The game still went into the win column and it's a long season. Besides I don't mind Gnats and their fans hanging around in the game long enough to get their hearts broken by a game ending pick.

I THINK ALL OF OUR GAMES ARE CLOSE TO KEEP RATINGS UP

 

[HungryLion]

The cowboys made a lot of mistakes. Which was frustrating.


That being said. It was a divisional game on the road. A win is a win.

take it and move on.


But they do gotta clean up the penalties. Of course.

Should have been but a few things

- The drop by Lamb was huge.
- The missed PI/hold on Brown cost us 7 most likely. Refs make bad calls/miss calls but that was so egregious, I am not sure how you miss something like that.
- Didn't we have a stupid false start again inside the 5 on our first or second drive
- Twice, Diggs had balls that easily could have been picked. He missed and the Giants turned at least one of those drives into points eventually.

Take those away, and that's anywhere from 13-17 more points IMO.

And that doesn't even take into account some of the dumb defensive penalties/plays we made that sustained Giants drives when we could have gotten off the field.

The OP was on to something until he started talking about that Jerry conspiracy stuff at the end.

Dallas can't control the refs missed calls. But the flags they tend to pile up, are directly under their control. If we played a relatively clean game we could have won 26-10. Our flags gave them three points while taking three points away from us, IMO.

The refs control the game and more importantly Vegas! They did not see PI in the endzone?

I don't think it's out of the realm of feasibility to believe that Jerry would do what he believed would be right for the league over what would be right for the Cowboys.

Look up why Jerry was inducted into the pro football Hall of Fame Jerry provides the NFL with leadership in marketing sponsorship television stadium management and labor negotiations.

Usually when something goes wrong for the Cowboys they flash to Jerry's box That was not happening last night with these no calls leads me to believe that the look on his face wasn't the one they were looking for.

There's no conspiracy theory it's just all about money and anyone who thinks that Jerry doesn't put money as the absolute top priority is really just kidding themselves.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Score at halftime should have been 17-3…..way too sloppy in the first half.

 

[crashintonickdm]

That’s the cowboys the last 25 years

I don't need to know when thongs change. They can keep that behind closed doors.

When ever I question a call, I always ask myself .... would we get called on it.
The answer always seems to come back YES>

Money can change a lot of things. Gambling on games "The fix is in rumors". Attack the refs calls via a marketing campaign against the NFL being fixed like wrestling, the calls will straighten themselves out.
