The officiating has been pretty poor all across the board.
My Cowboys got away with one on a TD pass yesterday where Tyron Smith was clearly holding, I mean blatant, and they missed it.
This has been going on league wide. I truely believe they are deemphisizing OL holding calls. It protects the QB and drives up the scoring. Sacks are down league wide. We'll get blatant no calls, then they call a hold on an interior OL hold that's marginal at best and wouldn't have effected the play.
Then you have the "reemphisis" on the secondary holding and illegal contact rules. There is NO consistency there at all. Add to that the increase in WRs pushing off because they're getting away with it.
I'm not complaining about calls. When you clearly dominate a team, calls won't matter (like our Washington game). We should've clearly dominated a 1 win Rams team, and we didn't. That said, there were calls that killed our chances for a win. Not every game is going to be a blowout and one call can affect a game.
I agree with others here. Maybe a petition to the league or something, by ALL fans, not just fans of one team. WIth the internet, this wouldn't be hard to set up. I used to watch multiple games on a Sunday, especially divisional rival games. Now, I almost can't stand to watch the NFL.
