What was up with that holding on Zach Martin on the TD? I have never seen a call like that ever. Is the league seriously just trying to keep teams involved with us? Because that was almost as bad as the celebration call

Martin did have a handful of jersey on Suh, so technically it was holding but his hands stayed within the framework of the body so it was tick tack

He pulled Suh down with that jersey grab so I thought it was a good call. Didn't like that it happened, but didn't complain about the call.

There was also one play where he pretty much tackled Suh and didn't get called. He's fortunate to get out with just one call...

Brad Sham and Babe Laufenbeg asked Martin about the calls on the post game show. He didn't really say much, other that Suh was a good player and it was a good competitor. They need to look at the tape to see what really happened.

What holding call on Martin are you talking about? I don't remember any TDs being called back.

The one call that sickened me was the "hold" on Frederick when Turbin ran it to the 2 yard line. That call made it 2nd and goal at the 20.
Those are the terrible, shady calls that killed us during this 7 game losing streak that we were not good enough to overcome.
Romo hits Dez for the TD that Weeden or Cassel would not have.

If not for Romo, we're kicking the FG and we're only up by 6. The Fins would then have had the ball last and driven down to win.
I just want the game to be called even. We were not good enough to have the deck stacked against us and have backbreaking calls like that and win.
With Romo, we can.

If you go down the line to a man you will literally see the same thing as Martin did on every play.

True......you could call a penalty on just about every play if you wanted to

It's like the Pats run 10 pick plays and get called maybe 3 times. If they get TDs on just half the picks not called they come out ahead

I told my son I just want his children to live long enough to see the Cowboys compete on a level playing field.

I had a dream that day.

The boy named sue(Suh) really didn't impact the game. I too thought it was a bad call, as did the Fox team calling the game.

exactly he took suh to the ground, and they will call those. had he let go sooner, no call.

Also on the celebration taunting, it was Dez and him running his mouth at the other players that drew the flag.
Williams might have too, but I saw Dez.
that turned into a huge penalty.
They better talk to whole team about that.

You sure that wasn't the one they called and the Dolphins declined the penalty since it was for no gain? (they didn't want Romo to have two plays to throw it)

That hold on the Turbin run was basically like the ref thought we were going to score so he threw the flag.

It was a terrible call.
