Dude you're delirious. You can make up all the BS stories you like from that game or any game for that matter.. I was at the game.. sitting at about the 25 yard line in the lower bowl. The play in question was on my side of the field at about the 40 yard line. I remember being mad a few minutes later when the long pass to Dez went down to the other side of the field that WASN'T in front of me. I watched the 4th down play live and called it a first down. The only thing that gave me pause was that the official who was running in to mark the ball got bumped off his line by one of the players and never corrected. As a result he spotted the ball at least half a yard shy of where Dak had put it. Were it not for that bump there would have been no need for a measurement as Dak had reached the ball a half a yard beyond the sticks. I watched the measurement through my binoculars, which I never attend a game without, and I could see that Steratore's credit card touch the ball as he swiped it down. That's all that was needed to make the call. I also remember that the famous Jeff Heath FF against Carr occurred back down on my end of the field and I knew THAT ball was going over to us immediately as well. Because that too happened right in front of me. And I have never espoused any conspiracy theory about anything.. I have stated many times that because the Cowboy hate runs so deep throughout the league office there doesn't need to be any. It plays out pretty much every week. The graphic from Mosely on twitter showing the Cowboys at the bottom of the penalty yardage differential pretty much says it all. Any time you suffer more penalty yardage than the Raiders you know you're getting screwed.
Sorry, but if you're not down the line from where the play happened, you can't see if it's a first down or not 15 yards off-center, especially on a QB sneak scrum, which is what Dak did on that 4th and 1. I remember pointing that out on those boards and you never replied. Now you're going to trot out BumpGate? Lol. In other words, you didn't see spit.
You're not going to claim conspiracy theory but think we're getting screwed by the penalty differential graphic? Lol. Kansas City does alright being ranked just ahead of us. Why does the league hate them so much but yet they've been winners years running? This is what I mean about black and white thinking CONSPIRACY! theorists who want a built-in excuse for losing so they find a nugget and hold on to it tight due to the need to believe they don't really support a loser, dark forces are cheating them. It's a defense mechanism created by Nervous Nellie's. Join the 30 other teams that don't win the Super Bowl because they create the same fantasies about the refs hating them.
