How many points did they get off ref mistakes? How many points did the refs cost us?

When you put up numbers as dominating as what we did there is more to the result than just "oh we didn't make the plays to win the game". That was the worst officiated game I've seen all year. If Garrett had been Bellichick he'd have assaulted Mike Carey after the game.

Our team lost because they are prone to self inflicted mistakes.

False starts, illegal shifts, holding, encroachment penalties.

QB throws the ball to the other team.

Special teams is terrible.

Having one timeout and 36 seconds left=one incomplete pass and one complete pass?

The refs may have blown a call or two, but they didn't decide the game.

And we only had a shot at redemption because some idiot lets the ball go through his legs during the onside kick.

And even with all that we were in a position to win the game. Even with the refs handing the Ravens a new set of downs on the goalline, when we had already stopped them on a terrible call. Even with the refs letting Torrey Smith shove down Morris Claiborne. etc....

It's funny how much we have to fight to just get the basics down. And then we have the play clock down to 3 and that faggot ref is standing between romo and costa. If I was romo I would've snapped the ball and ran the play, let that asshole get twisted up in a pile.

In a nutshell that's a fun game and a shakeable out of confrence loss. But for us and knowing our history it's just a reminder that we aren't smart enough to put anything significant together. It's just too much to ask, too many things that can and will go wrong.

On the first illegal shift Ogletree and miles both got a protection call and both shifted inside at the same time. But I don't know what the refs saw on the other two. One the next one Ogletree motions outside, I didn't see anyone else. And on the lady one Ogletree motions behind center and gets set for 1 second to help run block, I don't see anyone else moving. What the fucking f#$*

I wondered the same thing.

And Parnell's false start? Was that legit?

Yep. He moved at the :05 mark.

JFC...fuck everyone of you guys

We got royally hosed yesterday, and it wasnt even close.

Bullshit holding calls. Utter bullshit chop block call. Bullshit PI call on Claiborne (was CLEARLY offensive PI). Bogus hands to the face call on defense when we had them stopped on 3rd down. No flag on the Ravens when they had half their team on the damn field and on top of that, Carey prevents Romo from quick snapping for the easy offsides call that would have given us a first down. Those couple of penalties at the end on our last TD drive cost us a ton of time, as we had to repeat plays and use more time when we shouldnt have needed to.

Hey there was still alot of crap that was bad, but we totally kicked that teams ass yesterday and have nothing to show for it, in MAJOR part due to that garbage officiating job.

The illegal shifts were illegal shifts. The two holding calls on Tyron Smith were holding. He grabbed the guy's chest plate (of the shoulder pads) once he got by him and restricted him.

Also, the call on PI call on Claiborne. The ref threw the flag before the incident where Torey Smith shoved Claiborne to the ground. I didn't see it but I'm guessing Claiborne had already made some sort of illegal contact. Maybe someone wit All 22 access can see it but when Claiborne went flying to the ground the flag was already on the grass.

I did feel like the refs "got involved" every time we had momentum going. I don't think the refs are out to get us. We are a dumb team that does dumb things. The refs may be guilty of anticipating and assuming penalties will be on us but I don't think there is a conspiracy. If anything, the League office and the schedule maker does more to fuck us every year,

There was 3. All on Ogletree shifts(he also false started on our final drive on a play in which Baltimore jumped and we would've had a free play), but on his second 2 I didn't see anything. Bbgun could dig it up if he wasn't such a curmudgeon.

Bryan and Mickey are explaining that on that play after the onsides the ravens blitzed 7 guys, the slant was a perfect call and if DEz breaks the tackle he runs to about the 10 and we win the game.

Dez didn't break the tackle and the other routes were too deep and Garrett was afraid of a mistake so he just chose to kick.

Figures, DEz breaks the first tackle all the time. Just the way it goes for us he didn't on that play or we have a win and probably ended Lewis career.

Btw, tanner running right into Lewis is what injured him. It was great when tanner stood there and yelled at him....

It's always the perfect play call if the defense fucks up.

Jesus. I didn't even see that during the game, probably because he jumped so fucking early the camera wasn't even in the normal broadcasting view.
