Won't produce as long as we're neutered

Net penalty yards - those against you minus those that help you - the Cowboys are 17th in the NFL at -50. Middle of the pack.

Miami, Buffalo, Detroit, San Francisco, Seattle, and Kansas City are all getting "screwed" more than the Cowboys. The Chiefs are -170 yards, only the Bears are worse.

These ref threads zero in on one thing, make a proclamation, and anything that doesn't fit is ignored. It's old. Win something. Enough of the excuses.

Jerry confirmed yesterday that refs have full discretion on when they want to call that holding. If they decide there is no way Parsons could have made a play there, then refs won’t flag this as holding. Further proof that they use holding calls as an instrument to shape outcomes. The owners are all in on it

Yeah Micah is only 6 in from the quarterback no way he could ever make that play right.

This whole thing is crooked and I agree the owners are completely in on it somehow it makes the money but in the process creates a horrible product for us fans to have to watch and I'm very close to being done with it

 

[Blackrain]

Only 8 teams have had more penalties called on their opponents than the Cowboys. Funny how the "screwed by the NFL" talk never takes into account how many times Dallas benefits from a flag - only 8 teams have benefitted more this season. Imagine how screwed those other teams feel.

Then again, that wouldn't fit the narrative that makes for a convenient excuse when things don't go our way.

I can imagine those other teams feel like they are being screwed yes I can imagine.

Inconvenient Truth is Micah is still being held at an alarming rate and the fact that other teams are being screwed does not make me feel a damn bit better about that sorry it just doesn't

When I'm watching CD get pantsed in the end zone with no flag I'm just not thinking about those other teams I'm thinking about how much this sucks to watch this product be corrupted

 

[Blackrain]

Ever notice the number of holding calls increased in Dallas as soon as the narrative around Dak using his legs started to take hold? We get flagged half the time he breaks the pocket? The other teams don’t get flagged at all.

Yep as soon as Dak runs and gets a big first down for us there's a flag and then you see some ticky tacky holding call that's nothing compared to what is being done to Micah and our defensive line every play

 

[Blackrain]

It doesnt matter, the NFL is rigged and Jerry has pissed off the king of the nfl....nothing is going to be different until Jerry either passes control to Stephen or just plain passes.

What makes you think Steven is going to be our savior.
There are enough Jones left where we will never see another super bowl as long as they own the team

You think the owners care about the fans? Trust me when I say. They do not.

I think a long time ago they cared about putting out a good product.
Owners and players alike are now concerned with marketing their brand and making the most money they can in the short window they have.

Never said I think Stephen will be our savior, rather Goodell hates Jerry so much that he's not going to let the cowboys win anything

You know, with all the "Micah's been held almost every play for 3 years" declarations I hear, I was wondering why someone hasn't already done that. I would honestly sit down and watch to give my honest opinion on every single one of them to see if this is actually the case or just emotional diarrhea from the indigestion the team gives fans. Not still shots, now, ya hear? Real video.

Someone did it for the fins game with 10 video clips and it was atrocious

Of course, you ignore all the stats and evidence I have produced and don't dare touch the holding calls details and don't separate out pre-snap penalties to look at what's really going on. You lump that in together to lie about and try to hide the subjective calls behind pre-snap penalties just like dishonest Bobhaze tries to do.

Did you ever get back to me with 3 seasons or more of proof of no holding calls streaks against Dallas?

Can you show me any other team in the top five of holding calls on both offense and defense?

No? Didn't think so.

Link it.

I don't know about you guys but if I have to watch Micah being held so blatantly I'm about ready to stop watching football.

The officiating is so inconsistent it is taking arguably our most impactful player and completely neutering him by letting him be held on every play.

Conversely on the other side of the ball if Tyler Smith grabs anybody in the center of their chest for a half a second and let's go he's called for holding while we continue to have to watch Micah in a chokehold for half the game.
It's bad enough we have stupid players that commit stupid legitimate penalties and it can't be gotten under control by our coach.

But watching our generational talent most impactful player be neutered by inconsistent officiating or flat out prejudice against our team is becoming more than I can bear.

Jerry needs to take all the facts and the tape to the league office and get this straightened out because there is no way we can ever win a championship with things being officiated this way and I'm not crying and whining about the officiating I'm just stating facts.

This did not age well tonight.

Dutifully ignored, because it doesn't fit the narrative. What a surprise.

Meanwhile, the same crowd is now defending the refs handling of the two point play at the end of the game (that went our way). Suddenly, the refs can do no wrong.

How can some of you not be embarrassed?

Hopefully they’ll even it out during the playoffs.
