I know one thing, They should have Lucky just fair catch every punt. We don't need to see him run around in circles and give the Packers a chance to knock the ball out. Even when he's had a decent return, Penalty. It drives me crazy. The holding calls have been terrible. A lot of the time it's on a player who's 10 yards away from the play. It would be nice if they could avoid those against the Packers
I would bet if you looked at the law of averages, it is best to just stay in the end zone on kickoffs, & fair catch EVERY punt. You can almost count on a holding/block in the back call after every kick. On special teams, play the percentages, play field position, & give the offense a better chance to open up the playbook.

I noticed that in every game I watched this weekend, the home team got the breaks. It's almost as if the NFL is rigged to keep the popular teams winning, & the average ones down. The Seattle game was horribly one-sided. It really makes me doubt the integrity of the game. I don't want any favors for my team. Call plays evenly, & I'll have no problem. If the Boys jump or interfere, call it, but call the same penalties on the Packers. We'll see what happens Sunday. I'm sure the league office is getting plenty of flack.

Game is a week away and we are already complaining about the refs and the announcers. This week should be fun....

There may be technical problems happening during the game. The network feed may get spotty once or twice. Home viewers may experience some momentary audio or video interruptions. At the stadium, Prescott's helmet feed may go out mysteriously and require some fixing. Etc. Etc. Things happen every game. However there is one thing I know for certain which shall be c-o-m-p-l-e-t-e-l-y unaffected by any imaginable technical problem...

The video, audio and communication feeds between the stadium officiating crew and Dean Blandino will be unaffected by blizzards, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. An Independence Day alien mother ship attack will not stop any screwy decisions messages sent from the league officiating office to the game's officiating crew--especially any and every unsolicited communication by Blandino.

I don't know why I'm dead certain I'm right about this. I just am.

Problem is, I've seen a number of times this year when we got the same penalties even when we called for a fair catch. We seem to do it anyway. Or at least get called for it.

Insufferable Joe Buck and apologist Troy will be calling the game Sunday with lackey Mike Pereira off camera.

Get ready for some Packer loving, animated announcing and questionable replay spin.

It won't matter. Dallas, 36-26.

YAWN.....yet another thread of whining cowboy fans complaining about the announcers.........I assume your next thread will be about the refs or Mara or Goodell or how the media is all against the Cowboys,, right!!

Those three are the worst, when it comes too announcing Cowboy games. It's basically going to sound like the Packers fan club in the broadcast booth.
The only chance of it being somewhat listenable, is if the Cowboys dominate the game from beginning to end.

Funny, all the Packer fans are talking about how much Troy and Buck hate them and how insufferable the announcing will be on Sunday.

Damn, I HATE this narrative. Buck and Aikman suck at announcing. No fan base likes them, and they don't act biased towards a specific team. I don't get it.

It's like the whole "refs are out to get us". No they aren't, they just suck.

I can't celebrate a damn thing anymore in this sport without waiting for at least 10 seconds to make sure no flags were thrown... and sometimes that's not even enough time

ridiculous.
