As for the overturned Dez Bryant call, you can't even blame Steratore. It's process now to chat with NFL HQ in New York for that stuff now.

Exactly what I'm saying.

It's the right call on an absolutely retarded rule.

That's not possession and it's after it hits the ground.

It looked like a catch to me. I like Steratore as an official, he generally seems to be unflustered and in control. What do you think of what they are talking about on the Ticket, namely that after Dez gets control of the ball, there is contact with the defender, which would mean he is down by contact.

With Steratore calling it incomplete, there is nothing to be 'downed by contact' in the first place.

Ooooo, more threats from asshole mods who threaten to ban anybody who says anything they don't agree with or like. Fuck you. You want to ban me? Fine. Do it and be damned.

Wasn't a threat, just a less polite warning.

But fuck me.
 
All in all, this effing hurts.

It hurts bad.

This is it for the likes of Romo and Witten.

Oh well.
 
Which one of you assholes beat me to banning Lotuseater?

I think it's a catch too, I just know how the idiotic rule is interpreted and that's what I've been pointing out.

Waited til the end of their careers to finally address the OL. But then we didn't have much of a defense except for Marinelli, who is now likely gone. At least Jerry and Garrett will be back. :budd
 
I keep telling myself we were playing with house money so I can't be mad about this. And I'm not mad...at least not at our team.

As for the call... I really can't compare it to last weeks penalty/non-penalty.

That penalty had nothing to do with the fact that the Lions only scored 3 points in the second half. This wasn't even a penalty! It was a stupid call. Dez made a a football move which means he had possession when the ball came loose. The ground cannot cause cause a fumble. It was called a catch initially. I didn't see enough evidence to overturn it. If it had been ruled an incomplete pass, I don't know that there would have been enough to overturn it.

But the biggest reason for us losing was Murray's Fumble IMO.
 
Not that I am really interested any more, but Colts are beating the Broncos.
 
I think bringing in a new DC could be a blessing in disguise. Marinelli is a great coach, no doubt about it, but it's flat out obnoxious that we refuse to apply pressure. I don't think we blitzed more than 3 times. You can't have that
 
also, I don't think I like Demarco any longer. He will go to a team like the Vikings or Falcons next year and be an average back who fumbles too much

Yeah, I don't necessarily hurt for the Cowboys. I hurt more for Romo and Witten.

While some of you are optimistic for next year, this year was it.
