The Gov of Ohio in the Rooney's luxury box in Pitt would probably lead to an assasination attempt.

If nothing else, someone would try to deface his grave after he passed on.

It is the media's job to question, but with refs almost never admitting when wrong and the union supporting every call by the refs, how are we fans supposed to really understand these calls or no calls?? I really wish they would just tell us how it SHOULD have been called just so we are not wasting our time in a pointless argument, especially for those of us who are not Cowboy or Lions fans...

I certainly think it would go better for him if he wasn't showing off his fandom to the arch rival of his constituents, haha.

It would be like the governor of Ohio donning his maize & blue every saturday. People wouldn't be too happy with him...probably would get impeached for that offense!

Exactly!

It's just tone deaf politics, IMO. It's why I don't think he could survive at the national level. Unforced errors like this.

That's what Dez was doing on the field. Simply explaining that to the refs.

If this thug beats up his momma, what do you think he'll do to the refs?

 

[Wazmankg]

Try to imagine just how little I care.

Whenever I try to imagine what goes on in your head my mind just goes completely blank. It's rather frightening. You and GnG should get a room.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Probably needs the campaign funds from Jerry Jones

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Refs screwed themselves by throwing the flag then picking it up. If it had never been thrown this is a non-story

Stop or I just might bust out crying....

It was clearly a classic face guarding penalty, defensive pass interference. If you want to argue that that was a face mask before the ball got there, well, then it should have been offsetting penalties as noted. That's not what was called. Instead the refs picked up the flag with no explanation--and looked the other way about the fact that Dez Bryant, an offensive player, had stepped way out on the field to argue with them. Extremely sketchy situation.

Dez Bryant is really stupid.

 

[Malibu]

yawn

 

[packerzrule]

Of course they can be fans. But why is Chris Christie in Jerry Jones' luxury box? Because he was elected to be governor of New Jersey and became a national figure.

To be clear, this isn't a big deal to me since I'm Seahawk fan. But EVERY Giant fan I talk to, Democrat or Republican, is angry at him. I daresay Jersey Eagle fans feel about the same.

I hope he would have been in John Mora's luxury box if the Giants would have been playing.

 

[WizardHawk]

The final call was no call. The Cowboys beat the Lions fair and square. Cry all you want. That's the end of story

Explain to me how what I said is crying.

I have never once said it robbed them of the game. Not once.

Lions had all kinds of chances of still holding their lead and failed to do so. The loss is on them.

THIS discussion is about the validity of how the refs handled that play. They clearly botched it and few disagree with that. The only argument is should there have been offensive PI or stayed with what they saw on the defensive PI. Announcing the penalty and THEN getting together and picking up the flag was poor handling.

Stop being such a defensive homer.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

By an individual? sure

By the entire league? nah

 

[Tharvot]

I hope he would have been in John Mora's luxury box if the Giants would have been playing.

If either of John's nieces were there, you'd be an idiot (or ghey) to not want to be there.

 

[fordman84]

Dez Bryant is really stupid.

And both of your teams would give their left nut to have him wear your uniform

I loves me some Kate. Rooney isn't nearly as much of a slam dunk.

 

[fordman84]

Christie is an idiot. I am not a fan of any of the local teams but most of my friends are Giant fans. It's one thing to be a Cowboy fan. It's another thing to be sitting in Jerry Jones' luxury box and flaunting it.

What's most stupid to me is anyone caring who is sitting in a luxury box. I don't like T-shirt fans, but if he has been a t-shirt fan all along, and people just now care, then they are stupid.

 

[fordman84]

I'm sure that he knew it wouldn't be popular with some of his constituents. He might figure that most voters leave their NFL fanhood at the door when voting.

Or he wants to carry all parts of Texas that aren't Houston or a suburb of Houston.

 

[trojanfight]

I don't think any offensive pass interference was ever considered. It's likely the refs never saw the hand on face mask. But the interference was obvious by defender. Face guarding or not he contacted receiver before ball got there.

 

[fordman84]

Rewatch the video in the link I posted and its clear to see Hitchens grabbed a handful of jersey before the pass was thrown. That's defensive holding.

There was contact both by the receiver and defender while the ball was in the air, really nothing more than jockeying for position, but the defender had his back turned and was not playing the ball. By definition that is also pass interference.

It was a close call, but the refs initially made the correct call. Why they decided against it and picked up the flag is beyond me.

It is humorous to see the Cowboy faithful on here coming out to defend the call reversal tho.

It humorous to see anti-Dallas fans clinging to one penalty as if it were the only bad call in the game.


Dallas got screwed by penalties as well. What did we do about it? Won the game. We had a first down play reversed on a BS interference play where Williams was called for a screen. What did we do on the next play? 70+ yard TD to Williams.

Children cry, big boys move on and win.
