What compensation should the Cowboys receive?

[KJJ]

Yes at least Im honest - I don't like him. He is the media darling of the NFL and racks up his stats with bad teams. While on the other hand, Romo does it the hard way - beating opponents on the road, and the top QB in the 4th quarter and comeback wins.

Rogers was handed a gift by the ref as a win. He is a great QB no doubt. But that game left a sour note about him as Troy/Buck were oozing with praise about him. Romo was better this year and probably won't win it. Like I said I don't like him because he has it easy and everything handed to him. As for being bias, I don't know why you say that since you also have a bias about him as well.

I have no Aaron Rodgers bias admitting he's a great player isn't having a bias it's called being honest. Rodgers led the Packers to a 15-1 season with the 32nd ranked defense in 2011. That defense was almost as historically bad as the Cowboys defense in 2013. Rodgers is the all-time highest rated passer in NFL history and has put up some amazing numbers which is why he receives the praise he does. Buck and Aikman were oozing praise over him because he clearly wasn't healthy but was still making some great throws. Last weeks game was a tough game for him and the Packers and you won't even admit that. Rodgers was practically playing on one leg go back and look at the TD throw he tossed in the back of the end zone he was literally on one leg when he threw that pass.

YEP!! Unfortunately, the correct answer is NOTHING. Nothing will ever make up for a baseless call, completely unrelated to NFL rules.

Keep it between the lines gentlemen.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Bullcrap! move along with that BS. and stop making excuses for those crooks/cowards.

It was a catch imo dont get me wrong. i was livid. but the game shouldn't have been that close. Thats the cowboys fault it was that close. They still couldve won if the d would of held.

 

[nathanlt]

That play sealed our fate ... but we had plenty of opportunities to slam the door, but we didn't.

Our fault !!!

I say yes it's Dallas fault for not dominating them so the tampering didn't matter. But I feel ripped off for not being able to see how the game would have ended.

If Murray doesn't fumble, and runs for a TD, then the Dez play would have never happened.
This is why I'm not upset if Murray is signed elsewhere. Hate to lose a productive player, but don't want to be in fear of a fumble at a key moment either.

 

[zrinkill]

Don't you dare tell me to get over it and move on, when my team

You moved on yourself years ago ...... you said you hope we dont win another game while Romo and Witten are on the team ...... your team my arse.

You dont have the right to be mad about the call.

You are a liar. show one post where i ever said i hope we don't win another game with Romo or Witten. i have been harsh on both over the years. but have never said or posted that i hope they and the cowboys don't win any games. you lied. pull up the old post where i ever said that you liar. THEY SCREWED THE COWBOYS OUT OF THIS GAME! and your BS excuses for them makes me sick! i will never get over this screw job.

the NFL official in the replay booth STOLE the game from Dallas by pretending that completing the process means more than getting an elbow down. Obviously, that official should be fired.

But Dallas deserves compensation, because their Super Bowl run was cut short, maliciously. The NFL has illegitimized the rest of the NFC playoffs. It is a travesty. Nothing will be enough, except for playing the last 4:09 of the game.

Since they have run out of time to do that, what is left for the league to do?? I say additional draft picks. If the Cowboys had #1, 2 and #3 overall pick in the draft in addition to their #27 pick, I would be less angry about it.

If you think I'm poking fun, or attempting satire, I am not!! I am dead serious. The actions of the officials who overturned a CATCH, are criminally vindictive and malicious.

Dude, we aint getting jack from the NFL and it was not just the replay ref that decided the call because all replays are discussed with the NFL head office while the play is being reviewed.

The ref was asked after the game if the call reversal decision was made by the replay official or the NFL head office and he said "it was a joint decision".


Let it go bro, I know its hard but you got to let it go and move on to next season..................nothing will happen to any of the refs, the outcome of the game will remain the same, and the rule of going to the ground will be modified for next season.

If Murray doesn't fumble, we go up 21-7 and that's pretty much game against a one legged QB.

Murray fumbled away our ticket to the NFC title game, so be pissed at him just as much as everybody is pissed at the refs............If Bailey makes his kick, instead of being down 5, we are down 2 and kick a FG to take the lead on 4th and 2 instead of going deep to Dez.

So be pissed at Bailey as well, his miss had a huge impact on the game and this was the second straight playoff game he missed a kick, starting to think he cant handle the pressure kicks (see miss at end of regulation against Houston).

Also be pissed at Garrett for not running a play when the refs gave us a first down, instead he calls timeout and gives the refs a chance to review it, so be pissed at Garrett for botching that series.


I hope everybody is starting to see my point, it was not just the refs that made a mistake, it was Garrett for calling a timeout, it was Bailey for missing a FG, and it was Murray as well for fumbling on a breakaway TD. Yes, we got screwed on the Dez catch but as Garrett said, there were 56 mins before that and 4 mins after that and there were plenty of mistakes made by a lot of different people that contributed to this loss.


Moral of story.............don't fumble breakaway TDs, don't miss FGs, don't botch a timeout call, and also don't rush 3 at a one legged QB all day................don't be in a position where one bad call cost you the game.

It was blocked.

so, not busting the chops of the OP or anything, but this thread had no value...Dallas will never, ever get compensated for a call in a game, just like no other teams has received compensation for a call that didn't go their way....this thread just has angry people getting more angry...not sure why this is still open

 

[DogFace]

Threads like this make all Cowboys fans look bad. Stop whining, it's over, nothing can change it.

It sucks, but that's life. You move on.

I politely disagree. I think its posts like yours

 

[DogFace]

If this thread continues I predict KJJ will whine, almost cry and threaten to ban everyone on the Internet.

We rise above it. If we truly deserved to win that game, we would have won it. We had our chances and we didn't. I believe that was catch but do you think for instance that when we score and then give the ball back to Rogers with 4 mins, he is stopped? Our D was getting shredded at that point. Rogers goes down the field and he lose anyway. Move on...

Had the Cowboys scored a TD on the next play I believe some folks here on CZ who have played with the NFL game results generator indicated the Cowboys would have had a 52% chance of winning the game after that.

In other-words it was roughly 50/50 proposition for the Cowboys to win the game had the call not been over-turned.

Too bad the referee prevented anyone from knowing how it would have played out.

Well, if someone on the internet played around with a computer program then it's probably going to be true. The team that wins is the team that has the ball in scoring position at the end of the game. We have a good chance if Rogers scores quickly and then Romo gets it right back. Then, yes, I'd give us a 50/50 shot. But if Rogers methodically goes down the field controlling the clock (like he would try to because he knows how good Romo is), our chances go way down.

We had our chances before that bad call and we didn't execute.

I don't know that Rodgers would have gotten a touchdown. Dallas has come up big in pressure situations many times. It would have been great to watch. We were all cheated out of seeing a great dramatic drive. Dallas needed to dominate to win. Without the malicious call, the Cowboys were barely good enough to win. For Romo and Wittens sake, I wanted it to happen. I had a dream that Witten retired before the next season. Talk about a nightmare.

On the other hand, 2 point conversions are no sure thing. Based on the stats I am able to find, the Cowboys hadn't attempted a 2 point conversion all season.

If they attempted and missed the conversion, then the Packers only need a FG to win.

If the Cowboys made the two point conversion, a FG would have tied it.

GB could have scored a FG with a minute to left and Romo could have come charging back and the Cowboys could have kicked their own to win it with seconds left on the clock.

We'll never know.
