Other key plays after no pi call were the 10 yrd punt and cowboys get big first down on 4th and 6 at midfield.

There was 8 minutes left in the game. And it's one play. It was a bad call, but you have to overcome it. And they had many chances before and after that one play.
exactly. Dallas got 2 TD's called back because of penalties and one I remember was a terrible call. The call isn't the issue as another poster said, its not even that they picked up the flag (which happens sometimes) , but the problem is they called it over the mic and then changed it. Maybe its just simply because this crew never worked together before and this is just an honest miscommunication?

Anyone who thinks that it was not PI OR picking up the flag was the right call....you would be a complete idiot....period

I have no idea how a sane person could think that's not PI.
I think it's the worst call I have ever seen in the history of football considering the circumstances.

Its the first time I have gave serious thought to a game being rigged.

How about Dez Bryant arguing the call without a helmet on the field of play ? They missed that also.

The sad thing in the second vid Hitchens is not even arguing the call. He tries to say he was being held but realizes he is getting the penalty. Not animated and resigned to the fact it is a penalty.

Then Bryant busts off the bench and starts yelling at the ref. How that is not a penalty on Bryant I will never know. Might as well have your toughest player run onto the field and argue every call in every game next season. These old refs might get intimidated if Suh is allowed to run onto the field and argue every call. Might make them think twice about throwing a flag.

Let's see how Roger G spins all of this stuff that went down today......

As I said across the street, the Detroit Lions were an insect on the wall that got swatted down by the NFL, media, and press....the cowgirls are the darlings of those three.....Detroit never had a chance....

bryant should have been flagged for unsporsmanslike conduct. 15 yards, and a Lion 1st down....

That entire crew should be fired. They discussed the PI, and never enforced a blatant penalty by bryant? i have seen better officiating in the WWF.

Good points being made but you cant expect to win when you score 3 point in the 2nd half on the road against any team.

The Guesser or Tony Mar can you get the photo that's circulating that has the NFL up in arms that the head of the officials was seen coming out of the Dallas Cowboys bus???

This game smelled to the high heavens. I know DETROIT after halftime didn't do anything but seriously they were jobbed. There were some funky calls in the Baltimore/Pitt game as well...

im just wondering if Jerry Jones is the Vince McMahon of the NFL...

The NFL's integrity is seriously in question and I didn't have one cent on either game. Install instant replay to give the league credibility. That's all BS!!!

Yours in Winners

They shank the punt right after that instead of going for it to seal the game on 4th and 1.. that to me was a horrible call by the coach.

At that point in the game and your the underdog.. you got to go for it on fourth down and 1 and win the game instead of playing conservative.

That is my thought.
