Honestly man none of the things you just listed there matter.

They are justifications nothing more.

That was PI plain and simple and if the Saints get that call they more than likely win that game near the goal line since at the very least they milk that clock.

Bad calls suck and it’s a part of the game.
Btw I indicated that it was PI by calling it a non call. I’m not saying it wasn’t. I don’t have a problem with it after all of the missed calls in that game

Maybe even suspend players if they are so obvious it is ridiculous.

Some of the Soccer flopping is so horrible.

The Cowboys did enough to lose yes, but they did more to win it. The Bucs had time on the clock. It wouldn’t have decided the game. The refs should have called a pass interference on Godwin for a clean uncontested ending. It’s the season opener. Try to make it look good. Do your best refs.

Or not put it in the hands of Tom Brady with more than 90 seconds left, knowing you have a shit D.

Nah the DB was definitely running with Godwin. The defender flips his hips as Godwin gets his right hand on him and the momentum carries him. You can see the defender grab before Godwin's left arm is fully extended. I kind of think that defender tried to "sell" it too.

100% that was a push. If he does push it’s is highly unlikely he catches that ball.

Too hard to prove.
Not on the really obvious ones that the other guy in a replay shows absolutely zero contact like I have seen in basketball and soccer.

If the replay shows no contact, they get suspended a game.

That would really negate the benefit of flopping except in the Superbowl.

I don't know what would be needed for that because a superbowl win would be greater than any penalty.

Unless they put in the rule that they get kicked out of the game if it is super obvious.

You cant put that non-call in a bubble though. There were several non-calls that went against us. The facemask on Goff would have likely put that game out of reach if called. Thus, making the latter non-call moot. You're justifying your own justification.

It was OPI imo. He extended the arm and pushed the CB down. That gets called often. But the game was well reffed otherwise.

Also. The non holding call on AD on the very same play.

Are you saying this play is the right call? Human error or nah? NFL consipracy?

I see nothing besides a perfectly timed pass breakup.

Looks like a push off to me, my guess is it's about momentum.

That's how I see it.
I wouldn't have been surprised if a flag came in.
However, momentum was key. I even think the DB miked it a bit at the end. Looked like the little "push" was all that was needed given that he was going backwards in the first place.

Ramsey would've gotten a push off call! (where's the hide behind couch emoji! Bring that back!)

Poor Cowboys, jobbed in their first game of the season back to back!:laugh4:

Much as I hate Brady, he trumps America's team every time with the Ref's blessing.

Just once I would like to see a close call in the closing minutes go against Brady - just once
Yeah, me too, but after years rooting against him (Brady) I'm at peace now.

Seems most Cowboys fans aren't that upset about the no call. They think the Cowboys managed to find a way to lose a game they could have won. Again. Their rookie center getting manhandled was huge.

On another note, remember when Cowboy homers were praising Connor Williams for holding his own against Aaron Donald in that joint practice? I remember thinking that sure looked like holding a few times. Well, I thought that might come back to bite him when the real games started.

Forget that non-call. Greg Zuerlein lost this game with his missed chipshot kicks. All other things being equal the Pats would have been down such that a TD would have been required.

Like the NO game, Dallas had many chances to win and handed the game away. That beautiful pinpoint pass to Lamb going through his hands for an INT as an example. Multiple red zone failures ending in FG attempts. But like NO the fans will blame the refs. The Cowboys have been massively overrated all offseason.

This was a massive coaching failure and failure by key players to execute. Dallas could have put the Bucs away but didn't do it. Now we have to hear the Boy fans while like Aint fans all year. This is the result of having no FO accountability because ownership is the FO.
