The officiating in the cows/eagles game

[boatsandhoes]

Was terrible, and I’m a huge cowboys fan. they are inserting themselves into outcomes, and I don’t like it. Even if we do win. They’re making themselves more important than the plays on the field. They call defensive PI waay too tight. They don’t call pick plays.

The call on the eagle TE was crap, the randy Gregory hit in the legs on wentz was crap. The zeke targeting was crap. I realize he lowered his head, but this isn’t 17ing soccer. I’m ok with protecting a defenseless wr when he can’t defend himself. Flags and commercials are ruining the game.

I hate complaining about officials, because it’s a thankless/difficult job. This is getting ridiculous.

Those three calls all came at critical times, and they all occurred within a relatively short period of time in the 4th quarter. Elliott simply put his head down to force the DB to have to get really low to tackle him. I’ve seen that exact move from RB’s many times over the years. The “roughing the passer” call against Randy Gregory was total ****. He was trying to get the QB on the ground by any means necessary, which is what he is paid to do. Grabbing him by the lower legs is the only chance he had. Of course, the call against the Eagles TE (Goebert?) was ****, too. It negated play that had the Eagles set up deep in Dallas territory. That (calling the receiver for illegal contact was baseless. As a Cowboys fan I was thankful they called it, but at the same time I knew it was a ******** call. I can’t help but wonder if they would make that call at Philadelphia.

I’m definitely in agreement that these zebras inserted themselves right smack in the middle of the outcome of the game. That’s not their job. They’re trying to make it their job, unfortunately.
