Did Dallas get a little help from the Refs?

pocketpiececommems · January 4, 2015 10:40PM

I've never seen the refs pic up a flag that late?

DIMEMAN · January 4, 2015 10:45PM

It was good to see them get it right. Especially after the acting job of Detroit's punter to get the ruffing call...that wasn't!!!

Only a biased Cowboy fan would see it that way, Dimeman, lol...

I hear Jerry Jones already has the refs on retainer, LOL..

I heard them talking about it on the radio this morning. It sounds like the Cowboys got a gift. They were talking about Dez Bryant coming on the field with his helmet off. What was that about?

Not really....I wouldn't expect that call if roles were reversed.

And Jerry couldn't put THOSE ref's on retainer.........they have city jobs back in Detroit.

One thing for sure, all these happy dances from DIMEMAN will be a thing of the past after next week and he will be cursing his team after Green Bay crushes them

DIMEMAN · January 4, 2015 11:19PM

hey Perk.......we will definitely have to play better to beat GB. But they can be beat.

We will need to get Dez in the game like the Indy game.

Any team can be beat, in fact I cant stand Aaron Rodgers so I hope Dallas actually wins.

What would you think if the Cowgirls had lost?
Would you detonate AT & T?
Drink your 10 beers and I'll tell what's wrong
And I'll try not to kill your belief
Oh you got by with a little help from the refs
Mm you got high with a little.....oops, no that was the 70s
Mm going to try with a little help from the refs

What do I do when the stress is too much?
(Does it worry you to be a clone?)
How do I feel by the end of the game?
(Are you glad because they blew the call?)
No I get by with a little help from the refs
Mm I get high....
Mm going to try with a little help from the refs

(Do you need anybody?)
I need a reversal that's all
(Could it be anybody?)
No. Just the guy who wanted the ball!!!!

(Would you believe in an error at first sight?)
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
I CAN TELL YOU HE STILL BLEW THE CALL
Oh I get by with a little help from the refs
Mm I get high.....
Oh I'm going to try with a little help from the refs

(Do you need anybody?)
Maybe Rodgers catches the flu
(Could it be anybody?)
Or he Double Checks his brunch on his shoes

Oh I get by with a little help from the refs
Mm going to try with a little help from the refs
Oh I get high with a little help from the refs
Yes I get by with a little help from the refs
With a little help from my friends.

They got a lot of help from the refs and the Lions............

"To me, [Dez Bryant's actions were] worse than the pass interference call," Dungy said on "The Dan Patrick Show." "You can debate the pass interference call. The helmet rule is plain. And for an official to not have the courage to call that. Dez Bryant is not on the field at the time. He is an offensive player not coming in as a substitute. There is no reason he is out there other than to argue the call with no helmet on. Every official should have thrown a flag at that point. At the very least it should have been another 15-yard penalty. And there is no way you can justify not calling that."

The biggest issue with the pass interference call was that the referee made the announcement before discussing the ruling with the other officials. You can still make an argument that it was indeed pass interference, but judgement calls are sometimes missed and they happen in every game.

With Bryant running onto the field without a helmet for the sole purpose of arguing a call, no judgement was needed and a flag should have been thrown.

That whole sequence smells bad, real bad..............even Barry Church of the Cowboys said the penalty should have stood. Anyways, it is what it is. Been watching the Cowboys get these kind of calls and help since I've been a kid.

ESPN's take

From this perspective, 4 different penalties occurred on the play--3 of which were against the Cowboys. I'm a Seahawks guy and have no dog in this fight, but I watched the game, know the NFL rules, and that flag pickup was pretty bad--as was Dez Bryant coming onto the field. The Lions could have still overcome the situation and won the game, but they didn't. All the Cowboy homers are defending it somehow, but whatever. Cowboys are going down either in GB or in Seattle. Part of me hopes they upset GB and Seattle wins. I want another crack at them in Seattle with all the defense healthy. I'll take that game any day of the week.

Better watch out for Panthers!!! Cam and good running game will give them Big problems!

It was called running into the punter, which is exactly what happened. The punter has the right to come down and was not given that opportunity. That was most definitely the correct call.

As for the pass interference - Hitchens, the guy who committed the foul, immediately reacted after the play in a guilty fashion. He knew he'd committed the penalty. Barry Church - you know, the guy who plays for Dallas and talked trash about Golden Tate all week - said it was a penalty.

If those two guys think it was a penalty, it was a penalty.

Nah, I dont hate the Cowboys at all.

I really dont mind if they win the whole thing ( If the Pats dont ) same thing with Indy or Denver.

Give me a FREAKING break!!!

Cowboy haters as well as Yankee haters make me laugh!!

Get over it!!

Don't hate the Cowboys at all. I've rooted for them many of seasons. Just chuckle at the tilt of the scale over the years.

And if that would have been the other way around and a flag was picked up and went against Dallas without explanation and if Suh would have come running across the field like a wild banshee without a helmet to protest, Dimeman's head would have exploded across the World Wide Web, Longest run on sentence ever

Easy for him and others to be so cavlier when it goes your way

Can't take them lightly, that's for sure. In any given week any team in the NFL can beat another. That said, I don't think they're likely to beat the Seahawks in Seattle.

ONE WORD...........Payoff.

bxb · January 6, 2015 12:13AM

Very strange call indeed. The ref crew hadn't worked together before and that may have been a factor.

Calls that affect the outcome of the game should all have a better review process in my opinion. One ref mistake should not decide a team's season.

Did Dallas get a little help from the Refs?
