I don't know what to say about the Cowboys "colossal failure".........except the old man (Jones) looked so hurt and defeated afterward. And, he seemed to age even moreso during his statements after the game!
I've seen that look before, and I believe there will be changes!
But somehow the NFL needs to make huge changes with officiating.......because their being involved to the degree that can change the outcome.....potentially is getting to be more and more consistent; instead of good, fair calls. This game doesn't really count, but I've seen Micah Parsons held on many plays (during the year) and the offending player was not called. It finally took a "takedown" in this one......for the laundry to be thrown!
But it was not just the "no calls" this year, but flags coming out like so many golden leaves! (as radio announcer Jay Randolph would say) And by the way, Cowboys were most penalized in the league!
I was once talking to All-Pro safety Darren Woodson about a controversial call on him for a late hit on the opposing QB (just the week before) He sheepishly shrugged his shoulders and looked down (he was thinking about being fined)
And laughed at my statement that QBs would end up with "flags on their hips!"
And what's up with all these huddles (by the refs) in the middle of the field for extended periods? Time to get hot dog?
What ever happened to the Norm Schaecters, Pat Haggertys, Johnny Griers, "Red" Cashions, Mike Careys and Gene Steratores of the officiating world?~
