It's one thing to throw a flag, talk it over with the other officials, and then pick it up. But when you throw the flag, announce it over the loudspeaker, leave enough time for officiating expert Mike Pereira to agree with the call, and THEN change your mind. That's shady.

Plus, the Lions defensive end was held on Romo's game-winning touchdown pass. Under most circumstances I'd be okay with that (let 'em play!) but following the interference call reversal, you can't help but wonder about it.

I'd also like to get another look at those two defensive holding calls that extended Dallas' last drive. They seemed mostly legit, but given the circumstances, I'd like to check them out again.

All that said, Detroit had chances to put this away and didn't.

what's that about defensive holding you say?

No that's the offensive hold that wasn't called. Total bullshit, especially following the flag pickup. But the two defensive holdings called on Detroit that extended Dallas' last drive are the ones I want to take another look at.

i believe this was the same play of the defensive holding. so the calls should have offset to 3rd down instead of giving dallas a first down...they scored a couple plays later.

I think the picture you posted is of the TD pass. The defensive holding I'm talking about is when Romo threw to the Dallas RB that was on the ground. He caught it while on the ground. This one probably was the right call but I just wanna see it again.

there are so many mistakes/calls not made it's tough to get them straight. this is the one from the touchdown pass:

Oh, the hatred! America's Team is back. It's definitely good for sports to have polarizing teams. No one really gives two shits about CAR-AZ and/or INDY-CIN.

GB will be very tough. I'm a little bitter how the seeds set up and that the Seabags now have a cakewalk to the NFC Championship and would have no matter who won yesterday.....I guess the haters will also say GB has a cakewalk, too. We'll see....

how is this hatred? can you explain how the refs made the correct calls on any of these plays?

not saying they did.....regardless, this isn't a sure "if not for this, then that"....anything can happen.

My point is, Dallas moves the meter....when you don't have a horse in the race it's good to have someone to root against.....lakers, yankees, cowboys, whoever....you can hate again next week...I get it.

Time out :-t

what's up with joe montana? all the sudden he's hawking everything.....pizza, phones, signed seat backs, etc.....did he lose his fortune somehow?

I dunno but it's nice to see him. Unless he teams up with Rodgers for those awful State Farm commercials. To hell with Hanz and Franz.

I'd rather him selling insurance than that God awful pizza. It is good seeing him though.

If they win the Super Bowl, you gonna head down to the parade? Seeing as though you're born and raised in the Dallas area, right? Haha. Where is Flagg when you need him? I believe he is the only Cowboys fan here who actually lives in Texas. But anyway...

You can do the "if not this, then..." game. Quite easily actually:

IF the refs made the correct DPI and unsportsmanlike like call on Dez, THEN I can absolutely say the Lions have the ball around the 10 yard line with an extremely good chance of ending the game. Instead, yada yada yada...

Should have been 30 yards in penalties.
