Worst call in NFL history Face Mask

[Gaede]

The refs this...the refs that...

The Commanders were missing Santana Moss and we played an undisciplined game and lost. Please.

Blaming the regs is pure garbage...as bad as they were.

And that call for the two point conversion THAT early in the game was pure "Coach Bozo" stuff.

I understand where you're coming from but honestly; Parcells decision to go for two was in the FIRST QUARTER! First quarter calls/mistakes/errors are often inconsequential--the entire game is more important than tiny little mistakes. The blown call in the fourth quarter literally gave the Skins a chance to win the game where there was none--leaving absolutely NO room for the Cowboys to make up for the mistake.

That is to say, an early first quarter mistake is not nearly as damning to the outcome of the game as an error in the fourth quarter, especially when that error occurs in the last seconds of the game!

 

[Munchis]

It was the right call, also don't forget that we got away with at least two offensive holding penalties earlier in the game.

The foreskins just weren't going to be denied today.

Munchis....Out!!

This is Goddell's big chance. He has the perfect opportunity to address this game and address officiating in general. The Super Bowl should have tipped a few people off that favoritism occurs and the NFL as a whole is in serious jeopardy of becoming a "major" sport like boxing.


When Betts caught the ball on third down on the first drive, I turned to my guests and said "Dallas doesn't have a chance of covering". Cooley picked the ILB on the play and the official standing next to it with an open view didn't seem to care.


Tagliaboob thought of us as idiots. We're too stupid to see the corruption in front of us. They played this game on the biggest stage, we saw what happened and didn't care. They knew no one would care about a game in week nine.

People may not think that officials can be bought but neither did fans of international soccer and we've seen how that's played out.

PI on Williams? I'll give you at least two dozen examples of more contact in this game that wasn't called if you're interested.

I'm sorry, but how is TO missing a catch the coach's fault? Or how is having a breakdown on special teams in a situation that has been done so many times, the coach's fault? How is Roy running into Lloyd on an uncatchable ball the coache's fault?

I know you don't like BP that much Juke, but your anti-BP agenda is really blinding you to reality.

I agree with this. Juke you are wrong. The players lost this game and it wasn't the scheme or the coach's decisions.

 

[Black Bantam 74]

Oh...I thought this thread was going to be about our HOF fame coach going for a two point conversion.

Agenda Alert

 

[SultanOfSix]

HELLLO? Earth to Sultan. Where Did I say that?

Speaking of being blind, why don't you read before you respond?

I said "AND" that call for a two point conversion.

Ya see the word "and" means there were other things contributing.

DUH.

I read what you wrote very well.

Because the two point conversion was IRRELEVANT. How are you going against coaching when the BOOK says for you to do it that way? And it was so far in the beginning of the game it has no consequence except for the media generated agenda associated with it.

If you didn't bring BP into your rant about playing an undisciplined game, I wouldn't have said something. But, it's obvious to anyone who knows your views, your rant was a way to bring your anti-BP viewpoint into the discussion.

 

[Rampage]

Munchis....Out!!

it wasn't the right call and there is holding on every play its just a matter of if they see it.

 

[MossBurner]

Quit whining and take your L!

The facemask grab turned Sean's head around, that's what the refs saw in real time.

I seem to recall a hold on Witten that wasn't called on Glenn's TD. It goes both ways, buddy.

Good game, by the way. Romo is solid. Vanderjagt is crap.

 

[Nyks3]

how was that 15 yards...he didnt hold onto the face mask....if anything a 5 yard penalty..damn

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Special teams did the Cowboys in today! That blocked FG should have NEVER happened!

 

[Da Hammer]

Refs were horrible and deserve to be shot. Ugghh... im so sick right now...

 

[Juke99]

I agree with this. Juke you are wrong. The players lost this game and it wasn't the scheme or the coach's decisions.

Nice that you agree with him....Of course, he's not stating what I did.

But that's ok.

no problem

Read into it what you'd like.

I wrote that we played an undisciplined game, didn't I?

Of course, that's ignored because we don't make people take reading comprehension tests before becoming members.

 

[sk0aL]

I'm not just talking about today's officiating debauchery. Officiating across the NFL has just been absolutely horrid all season.

The league needs to take a serious look at their referees after this season.

 

[TwentyOne]

No it wasn't and you're not even a 'Boys fan.

Why do people always question other people's integrity because they have a other opinion? Reminds me about something that happened 1933 in Gemany......

The "BOOK". Oh. Interesting how the announcers said it the second we called for it.

And since you can read my mind, I'll just assume you know what I'm think you are right now and not have to post it.

Here...read this before you tell me what I'm thinking...

The Rule speifically states pulling a player down by his facemask. That is a 15 yard penalty!

The safety wasn't a safety, that is 5 points right there, the refs gave you 8 points!!!


Please shut up and go away.

 

[rexrobinson]

We have a very good run defense...our pass defense is below average...the combination is what makes our defense so off balance.

We force teams to pass with run defense however with our safties and one of our corners are consistantly getting burned and we have to get this part of our game fixed.

We don't have too many holding calls but we do have a lot of False Start penalties that need to go away. I have seen an odd amount of chop block penalties on us this year too.

Reasons we lost this game are as follows
-sub par pass defense in the middle of the field
-defensive penalties (pass interference mostly)
-offensive penalites (False Starts and chop blocks)
-not giving 100% focus from some Skill Players (I am looking at you T.O.)

We are our own worst enemy!

LOL. The announcers were the ones who said the "BOOK" for me to know that fact, and Jimmy Johnson reinforced that fact.

Going for two would have put us ahead a field goal. And if we scored a TD, we'd be up 13-5 which would cause them to score a TD and a two point conversion. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that call, and the only reason anyone is making an issue out of it is because the media kept reinforcing that I'm not sure he should have done this or that.

I didn't read your mind. I saw from your calling out "coach Bozo" that you weren't being rational. And you're not.

It's a tough day. I thought you had placed the loss on Parcells because of the two point thing. I really don't think that mattered today. Too many other bad things happened. We let an inferior team beat us and I think the players have no one to blame but themselves.
