I am not a conspiracy theorist and we obviously have many problems so it’s not an excuse for losing...

But how can anyone watch the past few weeks and not think he nfl is rigged? No holding calls in 34 quarters? Bet that hasn’t ever happened before. I counted four in the first quarter alone they ignored, including on all their big plays. Swinging Witten to the ground. Pass interference just pushing dez. Another hold on their big third down td in second half. Then we finally score and they of course call that hold.

It’s comical how bad it is. The league thinks they can get away with it bc holding is arbitrary and people won’t notice. We have noticed. I’m starting a boycott of this sham league

It's crazy how all of a sudden we can't do anything on offense and can't get anything done on defense.

If these past 3 games had been closer, this lopsided officiating would be driving me insane. I get upset during the game, but after it gets out of hand I just sit back and laugh.

I'd love to know how many game altering penalties we've had this year.
-TD called back
-15 yd plus
-3rd down conversions called back
-3rd down stops with a penalty

It truly seems like there is 4-5 a game...just perfectly spaced out where you really don't notice.

I could maybe buy this until I bought the NFL package last year and watched dam near every game. Officiating is horrendous but I promise you its league wide. It's not a Cowboys problem, it's an NFL problem and its part of the reason I hardly watch professional football anymore.

League wide for certain teams, c'mon man.....34 quarters? That's like winning the lottery twice in a row. Holding happens on almost every down and Dallas opponents have zero calls?

Any other team with those numbers?

The non holding against opposing offenses is ridiculous. I watched a charger offensive linemen tackle a defender from behind after failing on a hold. This of course was on that long td where 3 defenders missed tackles on the sideline. This isnt the Cowboys only problem, but man it makes watching games frustrating.

I get it, it sucks, the officiating sucks, the refs suck, the rules suck...all I'm saying is every game there are teams that get f'ed over by the refs whether it's a bunch of no calls or one bad call. I challenge you to watch one or two non Cowboy games (every play) and look at the officiating non biastly and let me know what you think at the end.

The rules suck, the officials suck and it's all inconsistent but it's league wide.

So how many holds did u see today not called?

Midway thru the second quarter I saw 3 obvious ones not called.

It's not like we don't have a pass rush. We actually have a pretty good one when Lee, Irving and Lawrence are playing.

This is like the D student who suddenly gets an A on the midterm. Sure, it could happen, but if you know anything about statistics it's an outlier that would at least point towards looking into it.

All designed to keep games close...Lions vs Vikings game today..prime example. Vikings were running away w/ the game until a few calls/ no call went against them...and bam...you got a close ball game.

Watch our game...and our D-line is just getting mugged. No holding calls in 8 games??? That's just complete BS. I seriously don't think we are going to get a holding call until we are mathematically eliminated...then the avalanche of calls will come to make the season stats even out. The league is that messed up right now.:rolleyes:

You know what, you're right. The entire league is rigged. The refs were in on the Vikings and Cowboys game. They definitely wouldn't want the ratings to go up if their best money maker (the Cowboys) actually won games so instead Goodell, Mara, Blank etc all pay off the refs to f over the Cowboys. BTW, if you're a "true" fan you know the rigging didn't start this year because of Jerry's outburst, it started in the mid 90's because the NFL likes to lose money by keeping their most popular team out of the playoffs.

Or....our owner/GM is an egotistical POS that has kept us out of the playoffs for the past two decades, not the refs, commissioner or other owners. It's f'in Jerry, wake up! Great, he's a fantastic business owner but a horrendous football owner/GM, stop with the excuses. I really don't know how much longer I can stand this lizard. The good news is, statistically I should see him buried before myself.

****, I'm tired. I tried to stay upbeat for once in my life and we got blown out by the f'in Chargers. I blame this on no one but that worthless, slimy, disgusting, ego maniac Jerry f'in Jones. Other than buying the team, if it weren't for Jimmy this team would be a hair better than the Cleveland Browns. I hope Jerry sees the light, literally.

PS. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, I'm po'd, tired and maybe a little drunk. F'in ******** Cowboys :mad:

This is why every team has a head coach. If the coach of the Cowboys isn't worried about his team being held, why should the refs? There is more to this coaching thing then just celebrating when your team makes a positive play.

Funny enough, I started seeing the seeds of what we see now being planted last year. First half of the season, we marched down fields at will and scored. A bit after the PIT game, we fell into a quagmire of holding calls and other penalties that killed several drives and kept games close. Now, it's like the refs aren't even trying to keep games close. They screw us on key drives and momentum shifts in the first half, and then we start to implode in the second half.

Exactly. Not to mention all the calls that could help us that are never callled. How many 15 yard penalties have we had in our favor? PI calls? How many roughing the passer calls have been given a blind eye?
