It is screamingly obvious that NFL referees hate T.O. and don't give him a fair shake.
First of all, when he "spiked" the ball after that early catch last night, it was total BS. He didn't spike it - at all. He threw it directly toward an official. Yet they call delay of game for spiking it. The game actually would've been delayed more had he just left the ball laying on the ground where he caught it.
Secondly, on a catch along the sideline, he got one foot in and then was clearly pushed out by two defenders before being able to bring his second foot down. He maintained control of the ball the whole time. Yet neither official ruled it a force-out. It was the very definition of a force-out.
And finally, on the would-be game-tying two-point conversion attempt, that was TEXT BOOK pass interference on the defense. The guy had his back to the ball, jumped up, face guarded, and made significant contact with his body and both arms way before the ball got there. No flag.
Of course, the idiot ESPN announcers were too busy crowning Trent Edwards as the next Tom Brady to discuss any of this.
Those referees should be fired. I'm not even a Cowboys fan, nor do I have T.O. on any of my fantasy teams, so there's no bias on my part.
