How many penalties does it take to influence the outcome?
How many non-calls does it take to influence the outcome?
While there seems to be this coordinated complaint about it came down to the end, one might point to at least one scoring drive of the eagles which benefitted from a flag to keep it alive.
I am not normally one to make arguments about penalties. And the stat of the number of penalties being near equal is just a stat. One has to look at the drive ending penalties, or the complete ignoring of what should have been called and at what time in a drive to accurately assess if this game was called equally.
Dallas has a reputation of getting penalties. Other teams less so. Please tell me the refs don't know this information, and if so, they take a harder look at Dallas.
But perhaps the issue of Parsons being mauled without a flag might cause me more angst. Because I am not one to believe Micah disappears as much as he faces a tougher road to the QB, along with the refs ignoring holding on him routinely.
My whine is over now.
