That may go down as the worst 1-side ref hose job as there is

[Little Jr]

I dont know why some people are so bent upon political correctness, why calling spade - spade is wrong anymore ?

I agree Ref is not easy job, judgemental calls and so, thats why when its not consistent makes it look one-sided, but having said that , some were obvious missed calls yday.

I did observe some of the same observations by Yazuka
3. Yes
4. Yes
6. Yes
7.Yes - PI and then Facemask
9. yes
10. Yes
11. Yes - this was right infront of line judge
12. Not sure, looked like text book blocking, but cant be sure

When thing like this happens , like 3 holds called on a probowl LT , the Commanders makeshift Tackles called for only one , makes you wonder, NFL asking refs to keep the game close , by hook or crook ?

Lol you're calling the wrong person politically correct. I've watched the game 5 times now. There were missed calls on both sides. Every fan base complains about bad calls and missed calls. Fans around the league are having this same conversation lol. I have friends, who aren't Cowboy fans, tell me all the time that we get lucky calls. You just have to watch it with the same eyes that you watch the Cowboys with. Are there games where one team seems like they're getting the calls? Sure, it happens. Been happening for the 27 years I've been watching the game seriously. The officiating has been bad this year but the one sided against the Cowboys isn't as bad as people claim.

The missed facemask on Beasley was unbelievable.

Yep, that was ridiculous. One of these days poor Beasley is going to get his neck broken.

 

[nalam]

How does a team put the ball up 53 times in one game and not get a single holding call?

That DID seem fishy.

They had one holding call i think, but I get your gist, our tackles were called for atleast 3/4

 

[cml750]

They could have called holding on about 75% of the Skins passes and didn't yet they called some ticky-tacky holds on us.

 

[BAT]

The missed facemask on Beasley was unbelievable.

Then he punched Bease in the head right after for good measure.

 

[ringmaster]

Funny thing is, I just noticed last week Seattle tried running their usual pick plays and they were getting flagged for it. I was hoping the NFL was cracking down on this. Then I watch this game and realize it's totally dependent on what particular officiating crew is doing our game.

Yes just imagine if Boger's crew were doing this game it would probably been a million penalty yards by both teams officiating is crapping the bed this season.

 

[MRV52]

Cmon guys, it was thanksgiving the game had to be kept close so those Commander fans wouldn't choke on their turkey dinner.

 

[Wolfpack]

That's not anywhere near the worse fix job refing I've seen.

At this point, I think the NFL lets the officiating be typically so poor, so that when things need to be helped along, no one will notice.

Dallas could have buried the skins by halftime if allowed to play. The non holding calls where bs while smith is getting called because he crumpled his guy.

 

[Supercowboy1986]

The Cowboys were playing against the Skins and the refs as I re-watch the game.

1) 3rd and 6, 7:32 left in 1st quarter, WAS ball. Crowder gets away with blatant offensive PI. Shoves Byron back a couple of yards before the ball is ever released as Cousins had to roll out to avoid pressure. Reed is wide open and gets the first down.

2) Next play they call a hold on Scandrick that was iffy at best.

3) 3rd and 15, 3:30 to go in first quarter, miss a bad defensive PI on Breeland to Butler that would have gained the offense 27 yards.

4) :06 left in first quarter, Reed sets another illegal pic which allows Vernon Davis to get wide open and pick up 22 yards.

5) 11:59 in second quarter. Dez catches a pass on Norman and Norman proceeds to step on Bryant's hand. The ref is looking right at Norman, about 3-yards away from him.

6) 4:50 left in 2nd quarter. Playclock was at 0 when the ball was snapped.

7) 3:44 left in 2nd quarter, Dak beautifully bootlegs and throws to Beasley who is again, clear as day, face masked by Breeland.

8) 1:31 left in 2nd quarter, T. Crawford beats Morgan Moses badly and holds him to prevent the sack.

9) 1:04 left in 2nd quarter, Ryan Davis beats the LT and is put in a sleeper hold with no call.

10) 4:58 left in 3rd quarter. T. Crawford beats Morgan Moses and Moses tackles him from behind to the ground.

11) 11:39 left in 4th quarter. Norman gets beat by Dez and twists his ankle after the play was dead.

12) 7:24 left in the 4th quarter, EE's TD run is negated by a bogus holding call on Mayle. What's even worse is 4 referees called the hold on Mayle, I guess not understanding that pancake blocks are not holds.

13) 7:12 left in 4th quarter. Personally I don't think this should be a penalty, but the rule book states pretty clearly and Mason Foster picked up Dunbar and slammed him to the ground.

14) 6:30 left in 4th quarter, looks like Baker (I think it was him) is well offsides. Didn't matter because EE ran for a TD anyway.

Only #2 I would say was a judgment call. The rest were very obvious and that doesn't include Jackson slapping Anthony Brown and the other Josh Norman shenanigans.

It also showed that the defense pressure wasn't as bad as originally thought. If those holding calls are called that changes the complexion of the game. The same as #1, Crowder's blantant offensive PI.

I won't mistake this defense for being good, but I don't know how the refs could miss those holding calls as they were clear as day to see.

Send your list to goddell and cc jerry jones or find a Cowboys email address to a staff member. I am not saying this sarcastically. I noticed most of what you wrote yesterday. Some of the most blatant non calls I have ever seen.

9) 1:04 left in 2nd quarter, Ryan Davis beats the LT and is put in a sleeper hold with no call.

that cracked me up for some reason

 

[LocimusPrime]

I wish the referees where required by the NFL to account for every missed call or incorrect call. I wish the team had a person who put together film of all the incorrect calls and the referees had to publicly address every single one.

This would go a long way with the fans in developing trust

 

[Rainy]

When Terrance Williams caught that TD pass at the pylon, look at how long it takes the ref literally standing right there to signal touchdown.
It was as if he's thinking "would it be too obvious if I make a call against the Cowboys here"

 

[lukin2006]

The referee was bad, but this seems to be a problem every week...either the game has gotten too fast for some of these referees or they really need to go to full-time referees, or maybe better training of referees. I just wish it was consistent week to week as fan.

Ikr it looked like it pained him to hold up his hands to signal TD downright awful.

I'll tell you what I tell the players I coach: there are two certainties in football 1) injuries and 2) missed calls. It is just something every player, coach, GM, etc has to deal with in every game. We're there some obvious calls missed? Absolutely. You can't let it affect you or how your game plan is executed.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Right, right, until next game when you'll have new material to claim we got "jobbed" again.

 

[FaSho]

I think the Pittsburgh game was worse.

There was another pick play they used to convert on 3rd down.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Its funny hearing fans complain about the refs. One teams fans think that they got robbed by the refs. And the other teams fans feel the same way.

Officiating wasn't perfect but it wasn't bad yesterday. There were missed calls on both teams.

 

[xwalker]

If this whole board just starts blowing up the nfl with emails do you think it would make a difference?

No. Maybe if somebody creates a website to document bad calls and to create media interest in bad officiating.

It would be cool to have people that are not fans of either team review games and document their findings of bad calls (i. e. We could do it for non Cowboys games).
