The ratio of roster, coaching, player performance commentary on the cowboys end compared to reffing is probably like 97%-3% and that 3% are bjj and Mr. B
It’s like
“I’m not racist but”
The ref’s were bad on both sides. I could point a few specific bad calls but I’m sure every Eagles fan here can also point to a few bad calls that went against the Eagles.
The bottom line is the Cowboys screwed themselves though. If the OL didn’t play so bad and they were able to establish the run they wouldn’t have been in a position to require Dak to throw over 40 times. The Cowboys had the ball inside the 10 (1st and 5) with over a minute to go. They attempt 3 straight passes and lose 29 yards. That’s not on the ref’s. That play calling and **** OL play.
Dak stepping out of bounds on the 2 pt conversion screwed us because then they’re playing for a TD instead of a FG.
Mike McCarthy going for it on 4th down inside the 20 late in the game (and not getting the 1sr) instead of kicking a FG screwed us.
There are plenty of reasons the Cowboys lost this game that had zero to do with the ref’s.
