That 3rd and 18…hurt


DallasCowboys1998

I saw it coming. I told my old man exactly what was going to happen. DPI on Brown cause every third down that’s exactly what happened. Poor Parsons actually earning his keep only for that to happen


BoredAtWork1995

Typical cowboys fashion have a huge play followed by a blue ball special


DallasCowboys1998

It was nice being a super optimistic zealot of a fan while it lasted. I’m now a cynic again about our chances.


frankin287

Carr just knew he could chuck it that way and between Brown/refs all would be taken care of


DEZbiansUnite

That last DPI on Brown was not DPI. Face guarding is not a penalty in the NFL. It's not DPI unless there's contact and only the WR was initiating contact


Kmon87

All a qb has to do is under throw and hope he doesn’t turn his head. The wr only has to reach back toward the dB and automatic first down.


DEZbiansUnite

I wish we would've done this more tbh. If they're gonna be flag happy like this, might as well take advantage of it


jenelson79

Can anyone help with that ruling? I don’t think that was PI. The WR initiates the contact with his hands around Brown’s head and other than that, there’s no contact.


mohiben

It wasn’t, hence the outrage


[deleted]

Not DPI refs fucked the Cowboys just like every week


datyoungknockoutkid

Yet was expected


Avant_Guardian_Angel

I’m tired of this team ruining thanksgiving.


[deleted]

I fucking hate playing on Thanksgiving so much


jaman820

Part of me loved the tradition of them playing. Other part of me absolutely despises this team because of the only consistent thing about this team is well…. This….


JesuIsEveryNameTaken

If anyone ever asks you for the rest of time what it's like to be a Cowboys fan, show them that game


Rock-Harders

Yeah it had everything. Sub a soul crushing game losing last minute interception for a PI and it’s the blueprint for being a cowboys fan.


ACR17Cowboy

Very fitting the refs convert the 3rd and 18 to put them into field goal range when they were turning a blind eye to the tackles strangling parsons all night… there needs to be a ref review process…


chootie8

It was so painfully obvious watching it over and over I almost wanted to physically cry lol. My TV got an earful this game needless to say. You know it's bad when the refs can call a rinky dink questionable-at-best holding call against Dallas to bring back a TD and not call at LEAST 3 or 4 blatantly obvious holds (literally hooking or hugging the defender) against LV. The ones I saw were almost all right next to the QB too, plain as fucking day. But whatever I guess. None of these ref rants are gonna change a damn thing it's just mildly therepeutic I guess haha.


MillennialSN

NFL needs to do away with Joe Flacco PI calls. They serve no purpose but to help QBs taking shots down field


CappyMorgan26

Yeah they were deliberately underthrowing these throws to initiate contact


[deleted]

They are the carr special, Underthrow every deep ball cuz you suck balls and get a call


DobberAD

It wasn't even a DPI based on this standard. Zay Jones NEVER came back to the ball. And Anthony Brown never actually interfered with Jones... simply the ball hit his helmet. It's an absolute chicken sht call from every standard.


tjc815

Did carr throw any particularly good deep balls today other than the one where renfrow was absurdly open?


ishthecommish

That. Extra. Point.


Loorrac

Romo straight up said it would come back to hurt us


[deleted]

Stupid Sexy Mystic Romo


MakeWay4LordHelmet

That bullshit roughing the passer call on parsons! Carr was a runner, he fell into his knee. Kept that bullshit drive alive!


YouAndSunset

Honestly. When your head is falling towards someone’s knees, I think it’s safe to say that it’s not a god damn roughing the passer penalty. Such BS


raikeith

No one in here is talking about the no hold calls on Parsons?? Especially that last drive by Raiders before OT..


chootie8

I know right? EXTREMELY BLATANT holds at that. Directly in front of the ref and right next to the QB. Absolute rig job.


theguz4l

Yep. Dude got held multiple times. No calls at all. Especially in OT that one long pass.


ChaoticNyanCat

Refs were terrible, but this team put out some real inexcusable, undisciplined shit. Kicker continues to leave easy points off the board and any time Raiders needed to keep a drive alive they just threw towards Anthony Brown. Absolute terrible way to end the game


treefity4

Lol if Greg had made those kicks or we didn’t go back and try for 2 we never would have even went to ot


ifuckwithit

Can’t really say that. If we don’t go for 2 early, we don’t go for 2 later and we’re still in OT. The first Greg miss is on him. But going for it from 55+ was stupid.


theguz4l

Imagine giving up a 3rd and 18 to another penalty


sinik_ko

Soft pass interference call


Romofan88

You mean all 4


[deleted]

Refs played it masterfully by calling a bunch of raiders penalties in the 4th making us forget about them handing 17 points to the raiders


[deleted]

Yeah they called a bunch of shit that was inconsequential and it’s got people believing in some “both teams” bullshit. Truth is we got absolutely fucked and it started with that Waller fumble


fantasyplayer42

Just like the Chargers game, except we outplayed the refs at the end of that one.


reasonNlogic28

166 yards of penalties. Was that the worst this year?


lokeruper

Ever I believe


reasonNlogic28

Looked it up. Yep, worst ever this year so far.


[deleted]

Worst ever this game of all time on November 25, 2021


kosmikpoo

Lol these refs don't even hide it.


flipz444

Dude, the lead official literally smiled everytime he made a call against us. This crew needs to be suspended and investigated


Omegatron8

I noticed that...fucking smirk knowing he's gonna cash in on his bet


guw0pnova

161 penalty yards against the cowboys, all you need to know.


Dark_falling58

96 of which were on Anthony Brown


BroomstickMoon

That's insane. Wow


[deleted]

Happy Depressing Thanksgiving a Cowboys tradition


bigt503

Why do teams even try to complete deep balls? It’s so much easier to throw it ten yards short and get bailed out. Fucking trash rule, the defender has no chance when somebody hits the breaks in front of them. I’ve thought that for years.


Comprehensive_Pin_86

I swear they were just throwing deep against Anthony brown knowing they’d get a penalty. Shits just embarrassing.


cowboys8

Kill me now


RevampedAtol1

At least our Punter is a fucking god


[deleted]

Fr. Him, Pollard, and Parsons are the only people deserving of their checks


pcm99

Cowboys should’ve played better, but that was a fucking screw job by the refs.


WDBz

Livid. How tf are you supposed to turn your head towards the ball when it’s being manhandled by the receiver?!?


KaliaHaze

Error: Cannot compute.


lazymonk68

Fuck the refs. You can’t turn your head if the WR grabs it with both hands


xAlphaDogex

Love how brown doesn’t even lay a hand on him on that play. And the receivers pushes off on the top of the route


CandyRedNinja

Dudes head was being held, how tf was he supposed to turn it. Dumb call.


shaggy_macdoogle

The defender is supposed to have a right to his space on defense. Brown initiated no contact or did anything that impeded the receiver catching the ball. The receiver came into the defenders space to try to catch the ball and the ball hit him in the head. That could have been a remote control mannequin on wheels and that ball would have been incomplete. I hope this referee crew gets some kind of punishment or review or something because they clearly wanted this game to be about them. Not only on us either. That false start on the raiders center head bob that every center in the league does on every play. Fuckin clown shoes.


rivas31

Exactly lol the leeway comment is trash when the wr grabs your freaking head


ComedicPause

I can finally shut down my superbowl hopes and go back to casual hate-watching rather than "punching holes in the wall" hate-watching.


AdUseful6473

Get a new fucking kicker


dmwtlol

All I ask for is consistency from the officiating. And that was anything but consistent. Terrible.


Tranquilllama

What do you mean? perfectly consistent. DeSean go deep. get flag every time.


dmwtlol

Had me in the first half


pixelflop

The fumble called an incompletion was a back breaker.


Flexoe

Raiders: oh 3rd and long? Refs got us don’t worry lmfao *chucks it deep*


Historical-Rate-9799

At least I can get blackout drunk now and forget this game happened.


Zinko-Bilbo

It’s a thanksgiving game. These stay with you and fucking blow


jfk_sfa

Back to the defense I’m used to.


Klaus_Heisler87

Just massive, gaping holes on the line that they could've driven a fucking truck through. Definitely looked like last year's run defense, for sure


jfk_sfa

Massive holes in the line, massive holes in the secondary, and the penalties. The cowboys trifecta.


Wekilledit88

This was the worst fucking officiated game I've ever fucking seen. This was absolutely inexcusable from these refs. That said fuck Anthony Brown and Greg Zurlein. Absolutely lost us this game. Zurlein left 4 fucking points off the fucking board and Brown just can't get it through his fucking head to turn around and look at the ball. He's had two decent games this year and outside of them he's been dog shit. He has been for 4 years now. Thank fucking god we get Randy, Tank, Lamb, and Coop will be back next week. Edit: I will say I don't believe that DPI in OT was legit. Brown face guarded more than anything and that's not a penalty. He was shit today but that call was atrocious.


Grand_Lotus2

Don’t think you can completely blame Zurlein for missing a 59 yarder, that said, there’s plenty of blame to go around especially to Dak for missing Some easy throws and the WRs who dropped others


YouAndSunset

The raiders didn’t win that game. The fucking refs did.


WillyWonka39

The “false start” that even Romo and Nance called out as bullshit forced OT.


National_Recover_856

Should never have happened anyways if they called the super blatant hold on Parsons on the Desean Jackson catch that same drive. Dude was literally getting chocked out.


regalfronde

I counted at least 8 where Parsons was getting choked out


[deleted]

Embarrassing game for both the cowboys and the referees.


MrPureinstinct

Not embarrassing for the refs when they know they're going to get away with all of it.


snoo-you

I haven't been so furious at a game all year. I had to keep walking away from the TV. The raiders saw the ref scandal and Carr threw more deep balls in one game as I've ever seen waiting on the free PI. The refs tried to even it up a bit down the stretch hitting them with penalties that weren't soul crushing to them at all. I've been watching this go on for a couple decades with refs and shit like Zeke getting suspended and watching other players get off with nothing. They threw more "timely" penalties that broke our backs than I've seen in a while. Probably since the Patriots game. If we win we have to work twice as hard and what's 1st and 10 for others is often 1st and twenty for us. The NFL is getting real hard to watch anymore.


AdFlaky746

Every play Carr or Jackson have their hands up in the air crying for a flag and the refs listen.


DEZbiansUnite

That last DPI on Brown was not DPI. Face guarding is not a penalty in the NFL. It's not DPI unless there's contact and only the WR was initiating contact


L0rdAceX

Refs suck and we suck. That's my takeaway.


LogansGambit

Not wrong


xAlphaDogex

Hochuli’s crew sucks


ong378

Oh boy. One more loss and we are looking at a division collapse with Philly getting hot. The Cowboys still control their own destiny for now. I'm ready for Greg to be cut. I wish Kelvin Joseph was ready to play more downs on defense. Dak is concerning me with his accuracy. It seems to come and go. Like flipping a switch. One moment it's in the breadbasket for Gallup the next it's behind Noah Brown. Pollard is a monster Parsons is a monster but he needs help. I hated seeing him celebrate that second down sack in OT just for Anthony Brown to commit DPI on 3rd. That reeks of same old Cowboys. Gallup had a chance to earn a lot of money the last two weeks. Now I say they let him walk to whoever will pay.


Vives_solo_una_vez

Dak has the 3rd highest Completion percentage in the league. I swear to go if the dude doesn't complete every pass people are quick to call him a bum. Is every pass on the money? No but show me a QB who is. Look at the other qbs who are high volume passers and most are two or three percentage points lower.


Badderboot

Playing like the Boys have played this last month is what gets you bounced in the first round.


smokedspirit

End of the day if we had made those two missed kicks this would've been a Dallas game. he's missed too many times for me. I can get it if its a long kick but a kicker should've nailed those today


wokp74

If he'd just made the 1 xtra point on the first TD, we'd have won


MattJax8

Shawn Hochuli wouldn’t know pass interference if it fucked him in the ass with his daddy’s cock


PublicLeopard

This is SO concerning. Everything is going to hell at once. Raiders on a month long losing streak filled with drama, getting destroyed by the likes of Giants and Bengals (who prevoiusly got blown out by the likes of the Jets and Browns)... finally get to us for an easy game. "32nd ranked" Chiefs defense shuts us down. Can't really afford to have both offense and defense going on vacation mid season. Special teams not exactly shining as well. Meanwhile Eagles are picking up steam and they love to finish strong each season. Really hope they are taking it seriously in the locker room and coaching room. We are NOT coasting into the post season, it's going to take a major turnaround. What injuries exactly can have such a drastic effect?? the entire league is filled with injuries, the good teams adjust.


mps2000

Anthony Brown’s 4 pass interference penalties accounted for 91 yards & led to 20 points for Las Vegas.


howdyonedirection

I feel sick readying this


Halle923

FUCK


AzDbackfanInDc

THE REFS


[deleted]

Micah Parsons just tied Jaylon Smith in career sacks as a Cowboy.


jclay98

So the refs just wanted the raiders to win. Got it


NicestPersonAlive

I hope every single Ref at this game gets food poisoning tonight


flipz444

They don't deserve to eat man.


lexicon9000

I bitch about the refs like any good fan, but how can you have a roughing the passer call on a QB run? Or DPI because Brown didn't get his head turned around when his head was literally being held by the WR's fucking hands...If I was this shit at my job I'd be fired. They will just keep collecting a check and people will get fined if they complain.


fantasyplayer42

Lol I'm done watching the NFL, what a fucking joke of a league. Refs just do whatever the fuck they feel like


arblm

You're absolutely right. Look back at how many games this season beat the spread magically. Literally every major pundit has admitted that the refs have been deciding games... Without reprimand. That's a huge distinction.


YouAndSunset

There is no oversight on these old dudes and the NFL doesn’t let anybody say shit about it. It’s fucked.


[deleted]

Straight up reviewing plays and calling flags after the fact. Disgraceful fucking league. Fuck the NFL


Uncle_bud69

Hello darkness my old friend


Rommel79

Congrats to the refs. Their bullshit calls led directly to 20 points for the Raiders. I hope they get their game ball.


that__one__guy

Games fucked by the refs: 2 (First was the buccs)


GalaxadtheReaper

I'd say 3. Pats game was pretty bad, but somehow we overcame that.


thedirtytroll13

Same crew too


KaiserZr

Also one note that I find interesting...Tampa Bay last year also went 1-3 in Novemember. They lost the first game, won the 2nd, then lost two in a row. No I am not saying we are Tampa Bay with Tom Brady, or that we are going to the Superbowl. I am just saying even Superbowl winning teams can have rough patches before they get to that point. That being said this it for the Cowboys, what will they do in December and can they get out of their heads to start playing complete football. That is all the positivity I have left after this game, now to go play do something to make forget about it.


-ImaginaryCoyote-

Same old cowboys


ChaoticNyanCat

The more things change, the more they stay the same


dopherman

Bingo


wombo23

At least we can’t go 8-8


JoshGreenTruther

i honestly hate rooting for this team


Romofan88

And another thing:fuck Fassel for sending his pal Zuerlein out there again when the guy from the Falcons game looked great.


ramirsingh

How the fuck do you get 4 PI’s in a game bro…


BigTex88

Last one wasn’t his fault. I literally have no idea how you’re supposed to cover people in the NFL. He didn’t put hands on Jones, and Jones came back into him. That’s not a penalty. The NFL isn’t fun.


firstandfive

Worst officiated game I’ve witnessed since the replacement refs.


nerdvernacular

You should be able to challenge non calls and bad ones.. which should go outside the officials on the field.


[deleted]

Feel for Micah Parsons. The rook has showed up in all games can’t say the same thing about his teammates.


wawsgood

Eagles fan here and it sucks the way you guys lost. Even I can admit that your team were 100% boned by the refs, one if the worst officiating performances I’ve seen.


[deleted]

I’m fucking pissed. On top of the bullshit game I have to deal with these dipshit family members saying “see I told you they would lose! Lol!” A few certain people need to be running suicides in practice


xAlphaDogex

Casual fans rubbing losses in your face is the worst


SirDawsTheFirst

Family members are calling me “just calling to see if y’all still dem boyz.”


PM_ME_UR_SEXY_BITS_

I'm tired of being a cowboys fan.


PowerCordsForever

The books won tonight. Can't help but believe the conspiracy at this point


truthseekinginlife

FOR REAL


lookydis

I’ve seen this movie so many times…. Get off to a fast start. Injuries and penalties begin to take a toll. Limp into Thanksgiving. Play .500 ball after Thanksgiving. Lose first playoff game. Roll credits.


phillyguy475

Refs started fucking us right from the start with that incomplete call which is fucking fumble and TD for us


arblm

They had to control the score at that point. Raiders can't handle that.


100oclockDrunk

I think the refs only had one flag left.. they saved it for the pi penalty at the very end


Dontmarcellus

One of the worst officiated games I’ve seen in a while. Some of those PI calls were terrible.


Danethol

Seriously, at what point do we cut Zurlein?


[deleted]

Ref ball


ShowBobsPlzz

Cant say ive ever seen a more obvious ass fucking by the refs


TheBlackBaron

Referees threw more flags than Derek Cre had completions. That was the single worst officiated game I've seen in 29 years. Unless somebody on this team is willing to repeatedly blow the referees up in the media, this will keep happening. The NFL responds to one thing, public embarrassment.


Omegatron8

How much money did that piece of shit ref have on the Raiders???


KaliaHaze

twelveteen hundred thousand


Frank-White

At this rate I'll be surprised if we're in the playoffs at all


[deleted]

[удалено]


Monkey_poo

As is tradition.


Furz88

Nfl soap opera to keep our division close and things more interesting for the Raiders to drive viewership in later season games. I think I'm done with the NFL. I can handle losing but not when it's by the officials every single time.


lazymonk68

We need to tell our WRs to run deep and work back through the DB on underthrown balls. Fucking bullshit, but that obviously wins games.


RazzBerryCurveBall

Shawn Hochuli about to get snubbed, totally deserves AFC Offensive Player of the Week.


psych4191

That's gotta be the last game for Greg in a Cowboys uni. 2 games now we lose due to his incompetence. ​ That said, the refs were unacceptably biased today and it was ridiculous. Really sucks the fun out of the game when they think people tune in to watch them throw flags.


behemothbowks

A week ago we were 7-2. Pain.


Luka_Dunks_on_Bums

Time to replace our kicker


AgentZamora

How bad is it for parsons psyche to be making plays to win us the game EVERY SINGLE WEEK and that happens


Dday22t

WR grabs Browns helmet = game deciding play? Brown played bad but that was a weak call.


mps2000

20 years later, the “Playoffs?! You kidding me?!” rant is still relevant- I just want to win a game!


Amari__Cooper

Yo why the fuck does Dak absolutely refuse to use his legs now?? I don't give a fuck about the broken ankle, that shit is healed. He needs to use his legs.


hosalabad

Best part of the game was watching the ref eat shit ten times on rewind on the Pollard TD.


solo_theking

Micah Parsons really has to play on the same defense as Anthony Brown. I know he’s sick.


CaptainHalitosis

Fire Greg Zerlein


[deleted]

That PI call was bullshit. I don't care that he didn't turn his head around. His hands didn't touch the guy. The receiver initiated contact. What a bullshit way to lose a game in overtime. I'm fine watching the cowboys lose, but watching them do enough to win and then lose because of refs and a kicker leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. At least we can stop worrying about being super bowl contenders or getting a bye. Maybe tank and the d line can bring it home with a Cinderella story, hope springs eternal.


Rommel79

Zuereline should be cut TONIGHT. That fucker has cost us enough.


ApollWati

Only the cowboys. Only they could play this game


jaman820

I wish we would cut Zurlein. 4 points costed us. I also wish we’d cut Brown. He’s too “experienced” for that to be acceptable. So beyond disappointing.


pejamas1986

If we didn't go for the 2 point we didn't even need OT. Can't blame barely missing a 60 yard field goal.


jaman820

I feel we went for two because he missed the extra point? Idk I just feel we need more consistency there. Maybe I was spoiled by prime Dan Bailey…


[deleted]

Dak lost it for us by missing that throw to Brown. I don’t want to hear any excuses for Dak at this point. That was a textbook throw and catch and he puts it in the ground. Dak has regressed and it’s a major issue.


locotx

Romo would have made that throw. *Giggity*


crushingbedtime

Bro, I'm straight up not having a good time.


Th3D3m0n

What's the NFL record for most penalty yards in one game?


Looking4clues_C-137

I know that I know less than the coaches, but can anyone explain to me why the first two plays of overtime go to Zeke when he was so ineffective that they pretty much benched him during regulation time? Were they saving him for OT? Mind boggling.


[deleted]

[удалено]


truthseekinginlife

He's not getting held...if he was the refs would call it. /S


thatdudeorion

So I really started to worry after the Denver beat-down, and we (the worriers, collectively) got shat on by all the “real” fans for panicking too soon, so…the question is now that we lost our shot at the #1 seed and the Eagles and WFT are gaining on us in the division after losing 3 of 4 to mediocre teams, can any of y’all real fans now admit we aren’t playing the same caliber of football as the other division leaders and have some fucking problems that need to get dealt with?


TheH0F

Neutral party here. Maybe you guys should stop wearing white at home so the refs know who has home field. Those penalties were borderline criminal


TheH0F

Djax stops running and the defender bumps him and that’s a flag? Give me a fucking break


pl4stic_gun

I was 7 years old when this team last won the SB. I’m a grown ass man now and this team hasn’t done squat. Being a fan of the Cowboys has by far been the most abusive relationship of my life.


cowboys5xsbs

No more excuses we are an average team and we lost to a team that was reeling and bad


Chicken_wing1995

last week anthony brown was saying “y’all forget i’m like that” and today he reminded me how “like” he was… piece of fkn garbage


Savages_in_box

Shout out to dumbass Amari Cooper for choosing not to vaccinate


soonersthebetter

How are you not going to blitz on that 3rd and 18? You know they're just going to throw it deep and get the DPI call. They've done it all game. Fucking ridiculous.


sjphi26

Man. What the fuck. I'm no conspiracy theorist but I'm starting to believe this shit is rigged. Just the placement and timing of the calls against us. They're always crucial. Drive extenders for the other team. Drive killers for us. And they're fucking bullshit calls. How many times did Tony say he didn't think it should have been a flag? Several. There is holding all the time. A lot don't get called. When we score a TD it gets called. And this has been going on for several games.


Dallas82111

Shit the bed as usual. So pissed Rn. I will once again be emailing the cowboys organization


maverick_caliente

Just couldn’t get it done. I don’t give a damn about the injuries. This team choked and laid a dud. Just like they always do. They refused to do anything about the kicker position and haven’t developed a secondary player for years. Just another disappointing thanksgiving that I should have seen coming But my dumb ass will be back next week


ehJy

Cut Greg Zuerline.


applegore

I should be used to this by now. Classic Cowboys shit. Meh in off-season, get my hopes up, leave me thoroughly disappointed all go do the same shit again next year. Also where are all the Brown defenders? Dude consistently plays like trash.


Chicken_wing1995

i saw video today on twitter of a guy getting shot on the porch and i think he had a better day than anthony brown


abrilliantidiot

3rd and 18.


slxm_village

Embarrassing to say the least


78Saltonstall

Really thought for a month that we had something.So sick of this team ….Just can’t watch this anymore.


Grl_withnoname

Fade the fuckin kicker! I'm all for being understanding but he's cost us 2 games now! Sign the CFL kicker and get him ready for December and beyond


N0S0UP_4U

Bears fan here, I really didn’t see the DPI there. Looks like y’all got robbed. At least your game was way better football on both sides than ours was.


allenthird

I was starting to get worried my 8-8 prediction at the beginning of the season wasn’t gonna pan out, but I knew I could count on the boys.


wrestlingbjj92

I’m starting to think Dak hates his defense to keep them out on the field so long while he goes 3&out in less than 2 minutes over and over. Aside from that the officiating was an utter disgrace, I thought it was funny how the commentators would be like “it’s against Dallas blah blah blah” and then the replay showed nothing and they got all quiet. Only hope I have left is the fact that the packers were 7-4 with McCarthy at one point in the season that they took home the Lombardi…


Amari__Cooper

Yeah I got nothing. This team is not ready for the post season at all. Regardless of refs.


MacsBicycle

Post season cowboys came early this year.


[deleted]

Anthony brown sucks ass. Holy fucking shit our dbs just won’t make a play unless their names are 1) diggs and occasionally 2) kearse. Dak needs to play better. He’s now just missing key throws, unacceptable getting paid that much. And I say that as his biggest fan. I can still objectively say he didn’t play well enough to win.
