Dallas? Isn't there an old saying about Texas? I will be nice!

Irvin? Don't Darryl Strawberry and Michael Irvin have a cartel these days?

 

Buffalo fan through and through here! The Bills, the Sabres, and you don't want to get me started on how irritated I am that every time MLB does an expansion, the Bison's get skipped.

All dez had ot do was go down and not try to reach for the pile on. But hey he is that way. last weeks call was right.  If anything the call should have been on Detroit for facemask

 

In my opinion his reaching for the pylon was a "common football move" and should have made it a completion.  How many steps does one need to take before it's a fumble vs an incompletion?  The rule is absolutely horrible.

 

(The rest of this isn't directed at you Bubba, just my general rant.  And for full disclosure, I'm a H U G E  Cowboy fan since the 70's.)

 

Oh and the difference between this week's bad call and last week's?  The Cowboys got screwed going for the win.  The Lions?  Tell me where Stafford was throwing that ball.  Does anyone other than me get the irony when he says "it's too bad that game had to be decided by the refs."  Isn't it obvious he was TRYING to get that game, or at least that play decided by the refs?  He threw that ball into the back of the defender for one reason and one reason only - to draw the flag.  They picked up the flag after discussion and NOW he's pissed that the refs decided the game?  NO, he's pissed because the refs didn't decide the game FOR him, but rather AGAINST him.  BS.  Have the balls to throw the ball where your receiver has a chance to catch it like Romo did.  Don't wuss out and throw the ball in a place where you hope it will draw a flag.

 

Cowboys didn't lose because of the reversal (tell me how in the hell there was enough evidence there to overturn the call anyway) but it sure didn't help.  Same with last week's game.  Plus, who here can honestly say it felt good to have two consecutive games screwed up by officiating regardless of if the same team that was benefitted one week was screwed the next.  That's a good thing?  Two wrongs DO make a right?

 

We should be talking about two great games, instead we're going to be talking about the damn refs.

Wiz ....... here is the rule

 

"If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball throughout the process of contacting the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete."

 

It had nothing to do with the steps as Dez didn't have complete control while taking any steps .
