that call had nothing to do with us beating Detroit.
I am so tired of hearing that repeated, its such a load of crap.
We won because we converted two 4th downs, one from the goaline down two scores.
We won because we forced three turnovers in the second half.
If on the final drive they actually did blow a call in our favor everyone would have something to talk about but they did not.
In fact the same guy lee dyer that threw the flag on hitchens on the next drive let an obvious PI go on Witten on the third down forcing us to go for it on 4th down which we completed.
Lee Dyer actually put his hand on the flag on his waist and pulled it out and didn't throw it. I made a video of it that week from the all 22 showing him do it. ON the tv broadcast aikman starts to talk about it and then they cut him off for commercial, when they came back they were just talking about the fourth down and buck wouldn't shut up about the penalty being picked up on hitchens and because of that all the lazy national media and lazy fans just assumed some sort of fix was in and there was a blown call.....
its funny to me because in 2013 when we had that amazing comeback at the stadium vs the giants we had a deep throw down the sideline draw a flag on NY which would have given us first and goal but they huddled up and overturned it. We lost the game. No one nationally said a thing.
Here is the Lee Dyer video. 3rd and 8 down 20-17 with 6:44 to go....witten is held and dyer pulls the flag out of his pocket and goes through the throwing motion but never throws the flag...witten ran down the field to yell at him but the tv broadcast went to commercial..no one ever said a thing........we had a choice..punt like Detroit did on 4th down or go for it, we went for it and got it...that is what winning is. That's what Dallas did, there was no conspiracy or luck involved.
