Whoa 2nd rd!
In a week the only difference will be we have a better draft pick. You almost lost to the Lions.
Huh? we won the East, and our 1st round game. you didn't make the playoffs. If it were reversed and I posted what you just did, how would you respond?
It's like saying people love or hate the Chicago Bulls. They're irrelevant and have been for some time. I hate the Giants more lately than any NFCE team.
Detroit should've been penalized. If we're after the truth in regards to how this play should've affected the game, the PI call is rather moot.Limp Ditka said:

For the record the Cowboys own the Eagles all time 63-49 (Pro Football Reference.com)...as far back as I can remember the Eagles have been irrelevant save for the 2001-2004 window of opportunity. It's always been fun watching the 'Boys beating up on the Eagles every decade. Pity the Eagles highlight this year was the Thanksgiving win. Cowboys have bigger fish to fry. I hate the Skins and Giants way more than I hate the Eagles...they're just funny
You haven't been a factor in 20 years and rely on a 34 year old qb that only has 2 playoff wins. No one really cares about you any more and once you lose next week his window is even smaller. Not sure where the elite attitude comes from.This is funny...thread morphed into PHI-DAL relevance....well, I'll play. Since '94 the Cowboys and Eagles are 22-22 against each other.

None of them. He was 100% correct. Could we get his thoughts on what Pettigrew was doing? As far as I know he hasn't given those yet.
The absolute correct call would be the defensive holding which occurred 1st.parasaurolophus, on 05 Jan 2015 - 08:41 AM, said:None of them. He was 100% correct.

It wasn't a meh play. It was a play that had like 3 penalties followed by Des running on the field without his helmet, yelling right at an official and nothing was called. This was from the NFL's good officials. It was embarrassing.
Also, Dallas hasn't been good in about 20 years. They're like .500 over that span as well with 2 playoff wins. Those teams don't get "hated on"
I posted Mike Pereirra breakdown of it....he was a head of officiating. What of his points are wrong?
The absolute correct call here was offsetting penalties, replay the down.
The second fairest option was no flag, 4th and 1.
The most unfair option would be only defensive PI called, first down Detroit.
Definitely a nice break for Dallas. But not some monumentally terrible call like the Testaverde TD, since clearly Detroit didn't really have a lot of faith in their ability to gain 1 yard.
Or maybe flagging Dez for running out onto the field to scream at the refThe absolute correct call would be the defensive holding which occurred 1st.parasaurolophus, on 05 Jan 2015 - 08:41 AM, said:None of them.

I haven't heard any of the comments, but PLEASE tell me Golden Tate had something to say. That would be glorious.
Caldwell actually has got away with numerous coaching blunders this past season. Have zero faith in Caldwell's game time decisions.
I’m not going to kill Caldwell for punting there. I’m sure he was thinking worst case scenario was Dallas getting the ball at the 20 and having to 80 yards against his defense. I’m not sure how many 80 yard scoring drives Detroit has surrendered this year but it probably isn’t many
Yup. Detroit players can be understandably frustrated. If using this bad call as their excuse for the loss helps them sleep better at night, more power to them. But the fact is that their bad play was a bigger factor.
punting from mid field with a lead late in the game is no crime. The punter shanked it. Thats not the coaches fault
It's a shame that just when they got the FG kicking going good the punts & even the kickoffs of Martin's started to go downhill.
Laser treatment?
Toenail fungus. If he is going to be stepping on guys his feet need to be fungus free.
I agree.....also, up until the 4th Q every questionable (marginal?) call seemed to be going against Dallas so it tends to even out over the course of a game often.
No, they act like it took place with less than 9 minutes left and would have put the Lions at the Dallas 30 with the opportunity to go up by two scores. It was a huge momentum shift.Sabertooth said:
completely the same thing as having a fresh set of downs in field goal range with the clock still moving.Or they could have, you know done something on 4th down or their next possession or their next possession.

They weren't winning that game. They would have shot themselves in the foot somehow. This is the Lions we are talking about here.completely the same thing as having a fresh set of downs in field goal range with the clock still moving.Or they could have, you know done something on 4th down or their next possession or their next possession.
