Believe me, twitter is fired up right now. Everyone with half a brain knows this quarter has been called completely in Dallas' favor.

The PI was the right call, but after they called it, they shouldn't have retracted it
 
 
They did miss the holding call though on the TD pass

 

[Pugz]

will bware complain about the refs in this game? NOPE

 

[bosoxlover12]

The last play call itself was horrendous by Detroit


Time does not matter. It's 4th and 3, just get a 1st down.


Why call a formation with everyone bunched together? It disguises who is rushing as a blitzer, and limits the receivers space to run.

They literally should have just done a Tate or Megatron separation move across the middle. There was NOBODY in the middle of the field.

Just a bad play by Detroit

Lions lose a big game. Life goes on.

Just a damn shame the refs had to completely change the outcome of the game by picking that flag up.

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

Lol refs...

I feel bad for Detroit fans

The Lions screwed The Lions

I wish I could comment on the non-call, because I've been hearing about it constantly, but I was so frustrated in the first that I shut the game off and turned on some Dexter.
 
How bad was it? Prevent a score?

 

[Pugz]

there's a video of the head of officiating seen leaving the cowboys bus id assume prior to the game. just to add fuel to the fire.

but to win, you should never have to rely on the refs. so it is our fault. just sucks.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

There were bad calls favoring the Lions too. It's all "whatever fits the storyline" though.

The Cowboys are the better team

Now that I've seen the play, that certainly wasn't DPI, but Dez should have been flagged for running onto the field without a helmet to complain. So they got it right by picking up the flag regardless of whether or not they announced it, but there should have been an unsportsmanlike call on Dez.

That's a hold at least. Plus, the outrage iis because it wasn't a no-call. It was called, announced, and then the flag was picked up. That's unheard of. I don't think I've seen anybody able to point out to another instance of a situation like this occurring.

To me, that's the result of these "all-star" crews. It makes no sense at all to split up officiating crews. Keep them intact.

And make sure Bill Vinovich's crew works any and all playoff gamed involving Peyton Manning. :yao:

 

[Pugz]

the head of officiating was also partying with jerry jones before the game.

just a coincidence but still.

Pats/Panthers MNF in 2013.
 
 
Gronkowski was being blatantly held back by Kuechly on the last play. They threw the flag, then picked it up after no discussion, and just walked off the field.
 
This is a little different. Apparently, the head referee did explain what happened live, but Joe Buck and his dumbass FOX crew had Buck babbling on at the same time, and therefore the TV audience did not hear an explanation. There was one, though.
 
 
The Gronk call was worse than this by a lot, except the outcome means more for this game obviously
