Rejection of the Dez catch? I said the ball was out of bounds as he went out of bounds. It was. Someone else mentioned it recently as well. The rule was presented and it clarified that it was still a TD.

Don't be an ***.
You said that it wasn't a TD, because you didn't want it to be.


It's your hatred of the team without Tony Romo which is so consistent and embarrassing, it's the lens through which you couldn't see the tackle of Irving from behind with 2 refs watching that should have put the GB game into overtime. Just like your failed analysis on the aforementioned Dez TD, sad.

I said I didn't think it was a TD because I didn't think it was. I was wrong. No problem admitting it. Even if it hadn't been, it would have been 2nd and goal from inches out.

You are delusional, 100%.

You see, it's your motivation to not want the Cowboys to win (without Romo) which is most troubling, and it comes out in the most unsubstantiated ways.

Nobody wants the Cowboys to win more than me. I am not going to lie to myself though.

Not the greatest officiated game - but I don't think it was lopsided against the Cowboys, either. Scandrick got away with hold after hold, IMO.

Note that Tyrone Crawford was readily blocked by a single guy

In case it wasn't posted, here is the block on Rodgers pass before the game-winning field goal.

Yea, its a blatant hold but everybody should realize by now that the refs were not going to call a penalty on the last play of the game unless Irving's head literally popped of his body. Irving should have flung his arms around and fallen to the ground like that dude from Detroit when Tyron grabbed him by the neck............LOL...........that dude went dead weight and just collapsed, he should get an Oscar for that performance.

The video is not as damning. The hold happens very quickly. The Referee was in position and looking right at it, though, fwiw, or should have been.
Well I have the game, and i played it a few times, not looking at the hold, but our spy on rodgers, he served no purpose,
and didnt follow rodgers outside, he was then unable to get in front of him in time to block that pass.
had he moved out quicker, with rodgers, he might have blocked that.

So many things, coaching mistakes, preparation, bad calls, no calls, etc, cost cowboys the game, We can point to certain things,
but there were many.

I know you cant depend on refs to call a good game, more like you should expect some bad calls, and some bad no calls,
and you have to overcome that.

Had we got a TD on that last drive chances are we win.
The NFL admitting the butler call was bogus makes it worse, but doesnt help.
All said it did seem like the refs wanted GB to win.

Unless we blow these guys out next go around the refs will rule in GB favor all the time. The Arod led GB packers have always gotten misc gifts from the refs against us. The conspiracy is deep in the NFL.
I think it's more fanboy wanna be stuff rather than a conspiracy. They look up to certain players, coaches, and maybe aura of some teams.

There's no doubt a lot of people hate the Cowboys. There's a whole hour long show about it on NFL network--"The Timeline"

There is truth in what you say. But, every big game is like that. One club wins and with these one game showdowns anything can happen. The Refs are always the same...worse for some reason in recent years. I really never blame them or think its a conspiracy...they are at field level in a fast chaotic game and are bound to make human mistakes. In the end, year to year, it balances out. The Cowboys lost, to me, because they came out slow defensively and fell too far behind. To me, its on the Coaching staff. The bye week and not playing the young starters in the season final contributed to the slow start. Again thats on the Coaching staff.

It's a credit to our team that we even made this a ballgame.
Everything, and I mean everything, went against us.
The calls and the non calls.

come on now, quit being such a blind homer. We ripped one of the packers WR's jersey half off his body down the field and it was a no-call...that went in our favor.

Bias is a horrible drug.
