Detroit v Dallas

[samwize77]

Tough to watch...I rarely get pissed about a non-hawk game, but this one did it.

 

[Threedee]

Such bullshit.

If you guys really think the league is fixed, why do you keep watching? Honest question.

Because I love my football team. The NFL can go %#@& itself as far as I Am concerned. If you don't think the NFL steers games for desired results the sake of revenue, I don't know what to tell you. XL* and this farce are examples of my case.

OK, see, I'm not getting this. If the NFL steers games for the sake of revenue, the product isn't legit. I mean, I enjoy pro wrestling, but we all know that it's not actual athletic competition in a traditional sense. When I watch the NFL, I expect actual athletic competition.

Why would you invest time in a product that isn't legit when you want a legit competition?

Ockham's Razor is probably just that the refs suck at their jobs, especially since so many of them are old and out of shape, and the players are elite athletes moving at high speed. But if you're rationalizing that the NFL is steering games rather than this, I don't see how loving your football team would at all be an excuse for watching games where you believe that certain teams are steered to beat them unless you just like the spectacle of football and don't care about the athletic competition part.

"That's the best defense we've played all year by far."

Thanks for that, Romo. Our guys love to play with a chip on their shoulder and will remember that if you get past Green Bay.

Poor Tate...maybe next year.

This game just proves how you can't let a team stay close because if needed the refs will decide the game for you. That's what Detroit just found out.

Play of the game - ref picking up the PI flag.

Oh yeah. Guarantee they've already heard that comment.

If there were likes on this board, I would give all of mine to this post.

Go take a look at the Detroit forum if you want to see rage towards the NFL.

Which is why we will need to dominate against GB or Dullass if and when we beat Carolina.

so true...if peypey wasnt an incompetent qb in the sb the same woulda happened last year...that would of been the end of the nfl in my house

This game is just more proof that Stafford > every other QB in the NFL except Rodgers. He totally didn't disappear that half.

Wow. I feel their pain man.

 

[gulliver]

These aren't the droids we're looking for.

That was a bad one... there were also several other key holds. The top 2 I saw were a defensive hold no-call on 3rd down that ended a long Detroit drive, and the worst of all was in the 4th quarter when the Dallas LG or LT literally wrapped up and pile-drived a Detroit defender as Romo was trying to escape.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!

To the inevitable folks who can see anything and think it's all hunky-dory, you just have to ask yourselves: why is it we can tell you it's going to happen before the game, and then complain about it when it happens? Don't you think we would be wrong more often?

Again, I see what you did there.

To be fair, it isn't like he has a lot of weapons on offense......

Man, that was hard to watch. I feel for Lions fans, and Cowboy fans, NFW you should be puffing your chest out over "winning" that game. Anyone else notice Fox cropped out the left tackle tackling the D lineman on that "game winning " TD pass highlight?

Picking up that PI flag, just wow. Letting that line hold / tackle on almost every play?

Anyone that watched that game doesn't think the NFL uses refs to influence the outcome of games, pull your head out of the sand.

It is disgusting me listen to Jimmy Johnson talk about how Dallas won due to momentum. Ummm...No. They had no momentum, the refs handed them the game.
