And so what we wrote in the beginning of this season that Dallas was the team best suited to win number one seed has come true. Go Cowboys!

Cowboys are just lucky. Tell Tony Romo to stay away from the Eagles and the girls!

If the refs would quit giving games to the Cowboys they might not even be in the playoffs. The calls are so biased and one sided towards the Cowboys week in and week out it's an embarrassment to pro sports. The F in NFL stands for Fixed, Fake or Fraud, take your pick. If the Cowboys were to play by the same rules as everybody else they would be beat in their 1st playoff game.

Sorry if pointing out a continued bias toward one team by the officials bothers you so much, but facts are facts and I'll keep pointing them out.

It's just you and your viewpoint. It is a lot of garbage.

No Football team should leave any game up to the refs, they are human and not 100 percent perfect.

The Panthers should have went out and beat the Cowboys soundly, not leaving the game in the refs hands.

That's easy to say, but when one team gets a 1st down mark on a 4th down carry that was well short (happened for the Cowboys at 2:10 in the 1st quarter) Have 2 bogus pass interference calls made against the Panthers resulting in 1st downs for the Cowboys then having the Cowboys get away with a blatant pass interference made by Jaques Reeves @ 13:30 in the 4th quarter forcing the Panthers to punt.(I'm not making this crap up, the NFL Network showed clear replays and the broadcast crew discussed the calls and non call so it's not a figment of my imagination.) It's hard for an average team to overcome these kinds of calls, but the real question is why a good team like the Cowboys are continually getting these kinds of calls week in and week out. Happened last week in the Philly game, and even with the help they couldn't win, and the two weeks before against the Lions and Packers. All on tape and all pointed out by the broadcasters. I do find it interesting that the two most blatant examples of this were broadcast on the NFL Network, so only 1/3 of the country could see them, coincidence, I think not. So again, I don't care if you Cowboy fans agree with me or not, hell, I'd be shocked if you did, but as one big mouth receiver says "the proof is in the pudding".

And the viewpoint of the broadcast crew, who I think know a little about football.

No, it's the standard comment of fans of the opposing team or people who just dislike a team. In other words, it's the mark of losers and poor sports. This is not uncommon, but you've worked to perfect it.

Can't stand the facts can you? Your opinion about my sportsmanship means less than nothing to me, there's a pattern of biased calls in one teams favor and I wonder where this originates from. I understand that when the Cowboys do well it makes $$$$$$$$$$ for the league, another fact, and maybe that's the driving force, NFL greed. Oh, that's right, the NFL has never been known as greedy. LOL.

[newanarchy]

By the way, I feel that teams playing with equal and fair officiating is what good sportsmanship is all about.

Maybe if you paid better attention to the calls you would understand.

Actually, no. You don't see me posting about how this or that was missed. And not because I didn't notice. It's just the way it is, and it happens to all teams.

But it happens for one team a hell of a lot more, and that's the problem that I'm trying to point out to people. Between having the NFL Sunday Ticket, watching the NFL Networks Replay games and all the network games I see a large percentage of each weekends games and I'm telling you that no other team gets the calls and no calls like Dallas. Invest some time and maybe you'll see the same.
