The interesting thing is what he said about sending in tapes.

What the hell about the refs?

Fisher has made comments to that effect in the past also. I'm sure that he will say tomorrow during his weekly show that the officials missed a few questionable calls that he will send in to the league. And that will be the end of it, the league doesnt want the fans to hear that the officials blew it.

naaa the spot was good......he was short of the marker...the yellow line was off by 6"
I doubt the atrocious officiating will stop until the higher-ups promote accountability with their refs. With new rules being enforced every offseason, I can see why the refs continue to splurge incompetence in their jobs. Too much flags that reek of piss keep being thrown for bad judgment calls. If this keeps up league-wide, then I expect fans to start chanting this to make a statement.
He's right. Officiating across the league is atrocious. Micro-managing refs are present and in full control throughout. Its the NBA reincarnate.
I watch a lot of football. He was awarded no forward progress like 99.9% of other receivers in that situation. It was a terrible spot.
I thought he caught the ball running sideways and could have easily planted a foot and moved up field for a few feet instead of continuing toward the sideline. That would have put to rest any doubt. And I agree that the ball was spotted where he went down. If he gave ground after making the mark to gain he losses the forward progress.

I didn't like a lot of the calls, but I also don't like letting Dez Bryant run FREE for 15 yards. Blaming the refs can only carry so much water. That's 7 points absolutely gifted by McCleod, not the zebras.
I'm not sure how much that defensive holding call changes things in the grand scheme, but it definitely had an impact on field position and the clock.
I'm pissed too, but this team did plenty of things to earn that loss. Hopefully they'll be able to put a heated game behind them after the bye.

I didn't see a single bad call. I was actually happy with the officiating today, pleasantly surprised.

No, dude. Give me one bad call...
One that was soft was roughing the passer on Romo. Technically there was contact to the QB's helmet. That is how the league wants it called...
We had them down, didn't put'em out, and it's on us.
Why the hell the blitz never got home is beyond me. Romo had time and that's what pizzes me off more than anything. Our blitz was toothless. Makes me wonder if they were that good or we just wasn't getting it done on the rush.

I've said this before ...
The NFL prefers its zebras making judgement calls. It allows for "mistakes" that are unreviewable, forcing the unfortunate teams to have no recourse but to live with those calls. Specifically when the alternative is fines for discussing blown calls. The fact that this policy exists tells everyone that there is no responsibility for blown calls AT ALL.
Those who know me, know that I'm all about the conflict of interest regarding the NFL and its referees. There is no possible way that an owner like Jerry Jones doesn't have access to them, or influence. Considering that the owners are defacto employers of the zebras in any case, it seems unconscionable that this is allowed to happen.

Well, you're the only one.
--Sims defensive holding that negated his own sack--even the announcing team panned that call.
--Sims roughing passer--he hit Romo's shoulder, not his head.
--No delay of game penalty--twice.
Numerous, uncalled offensive holding calls prevented our blitzes from succeeding.
This is the hold that wasn't called on the TD to Bryant.

Romo never gets a chance to throw that ball without the 2 holds by his OL. A 7 point gift from the officials.
