How about the PI on Gallup from Gilmore with the Int? Ridiculous

Since people here like to contend that they just want a fairly called game I'm shocked that this play hasn't been talked about. With Indy already up 3-0 and the Cowboys driving for what would be their first score, Schultz clearly fumbles this ball that the refs, who you all say swallow their whistles, immediately blow a play dead that was a fumble and Indy had pounced on. @Blackrain told me to be vigilant about what the refs might be up to in this game and will you look at this? An egregious benefit to Dallas who were trailing and about to go down 10-0 if this had stood. With the Cowboys as notorious slow starters, pass-happy Moore probably would have abandoned the run and Air (Pick City) Prescott would have been front and center in the offense. This obvious intentional blown call kept that from happening. Matthew Stafford said it best about AT&T Stadium: "Home cookin'!"

The ball isn't loose until the defender snaps his hands free. At that point Shultz's knee is down. Who recovered that anyway?

It seem like Shultz always seems to get stripped from behind. Carolina and Cincinnati come to mind. Shultz has to correct this.


In the entire time Schultz has been with the Cowboys, he has lost one ball due to fumble. in all cases he has recovered the ball. That stat was big during training camp and the first few games this season.

I'm a conspiracy theorist and during the game I was thinking we're getting a lot of calls. The Ryan sack by Barr that was a clear blow to the head, Noah Brown got a DPI late in the game. In my conspiracy minded brain I think we're going to get the benefit of the doubt the next 2 games because the league wants us to be a threat to the Eagles. It's great ratings if the Eagles lose a game, which I predict they lose to the Giants, and we enter 12/24/22 with a chance to take the division. The league wants it's "in season NFCCG " between us and the Eagles.
take a drink. drop a pill. chill. there are no aliens living in your attic. trust me :rolleyes:

Sime fans are always critical of calls missed in our favor, but be quiet as church mice otherwise!
they are called Fake Cowboys fans..... probably eagles or commanders fans mascarading on the board. we even have a vikings and titans fan claiming to be a cowboys fan

Wow. Plain video showing you the ball was out of his possession before either was down. It's not about "out," it's possession. It was tucked and then pried untucked.
Just zip it already. You sound ridiculous. Damn, man. I would be embarrassed to post the rest of the week.

PI was debatable there. But was clear hands to the face
Yeah I didn't put that interception on Dak. I felt it was PI on Gillmore that wasn't called. Or Gallup didn't fight hard enough for the route. Fortunately our defense held them to 3. I feel this game both teams could say calls could have went their way. But when you beat a team 54 to 19, there's not a lot the refs can be blamed for.

Yeah but I'm used to them cheating. I'm numb to it anymore.
