Week 16 Ref Assignment: Shawn Hochuli

[big dog cowboy]

Apparently you don’t want to see it but here it is again. If he’s not already providing a reason for the Cowboys losing, then what is he doing?

“This will be a flag fest for Dallas and a very long day.”

Doesn't mean either specific team will lose or win. The Cowboys have lead the league in yellow flags the last 3 years. 12-5, 12-5 and 10-4 in those seasons. Seems they sure win a lot in those looooooooooong days.

The last time Hochuli's crew did a Dallas game was last season at Tennessee. The Titans were flagged 10 times for 124 yards.

The Cowboys had 3 penalties for 35 yards.

I trust this post will be dutifully ignored since it doesn't support the narrative.

See, what had happened was .....

He spelled it out, claiming it will be a flag fest for the Cowboys and a very long day. If that’s not predicting a loss due to penalties I don’t know what is. The Cowboys have never come out ahead after having a very long day. No one does. A very long day equals a loss in sports.

We’re going to see if DQ’s defense is legit, or not.

I’m guessing not, but am desperately hoping to be proven wrong.

 

[bigdnlaca]

This ref was fixated on AB.

Yeah he was but blame AB for wearing white gloves on black jerseys. He made it easy for the refs to think he was holding.

There's no whine like a Cowboys fan whine.

I was at the Raider game. That game was legit terrible. One of the worst called games I ever seen as far as refs. Even Raider fans agreed. I digress.

That Raiders game was weird. Brown got called for PI four times and they were his only PI calls all season. Both teams had 14 penalties, and I don't think I've ever seen that in another game. Every other play was a flag.

But the same crew has done Cowboys games since then where not only were less than 14 penalties called, total, most of the flags were on the opponent (see Tennessee last year). So you can argue that they love the Cowboys if you focus on one game, or they hate the Cowboys if you focus on the other.

Me? Just don't do the dumb obvious things like blowing up the punter, false starting, or lining up in the neutral zone. Those flags are easy to avoid with any crew.

The Cowboys lead the league in flags over the last 23 years combined. That's what some like to refer to as "the calls even out in the end" even though they clearly don't.

What are you basing the room and gloom on? The OPs opinion?

Before the Eagles game, fans here were moaning about it being the worst possible assignment and meant the end was coming.

Guess there was some kind of miracle.

Were those refs sequestered? Or they had Ann idea they were being judged? It was fairly well publicized and they picked up a few garbage flags. We know that rarely happens this way.

 

[LonnieElam]

C'mon man. At least wait until the game actually begins before we start complaining about the refs having a conspiracy against us.....

Naw, he's seriously the worst. It won't be the refs' fault if they lose (hopefully), but they'll make this game damn near unwatchable.

 

[fivetwos]

Every day there seems to be something that comes up that says we aren’t going to win this game.

Luckily it’s the NFL which means we probably will.

There’s no need to favor Miami to keep the TVs on like the Raider TG game.

Hochuli LOVES calling holding so he can flex his biceps on National TV and it makes me sick, but we get flagged anyway, so let the chips fall where they may.

Sequestered, lol.

These things are tracked annually, so throwing a claim like that out there doesn't make it true. Plenty here will just swallow it as true, but some of us require proof.

Please show the data.

Ref brigade out in full force. Can’t wait till game thread. Micah held every play. Cowboy receivers being mugged by Ramsey. Flag tally has Dolphins with more penalties but still, those penalties were real or the refs called make up calls when it didn’t matter. Woe is The Boys.

As always, cryers cry, cowards coward, and losers lose. Man up and serve them Dolphin steaks at the tune of 37-27 Cowboys!!!! Lets roll. Lets roll lets roll.

It was terrible, but you ignored what I posted exactly as I predicted.

"The last time Hochuli's crew did a Dallas game was last season at Tennessee. The Titans were flagged 10 times for 124 yards.

The Cowboys had 3 penalties for 35 yards.

He must really hate the Titans. "

The refs only matter when we want them to matter, aka we need an excuse for a loss. But when the same crew penalizes the other team in a Cowboys win *crickets*

 

[Jimcz]

Yet another excuse using the officiating in case the Cowboys lose.

Right, remember the dallas greenbay game when Dez caught it that wasn't a game changer right..thanks to the refs

It wasn’t the officiating, it was the rule. It was a bad rule.

The difference is recognizing that the home field advantage it's part of it is the referee seem to throw more calls on the visiting team,, so now you mix in that you have a dude who likes to throw flags especially pass interference on the Cowboys playing that receiving core on the road it doesn't bode well for positivity that we're gonna have this thing called evenly...

At the end of the day the team needs to be accountable not the fan base. I don’t see how fans can make excuses either the team shows up and performs or they dont
