After that DPI pickup, the Cowboys converted a 4th and 6, forced and recovered 2 fumbles while keeping possesion of one and Detroit had a muffed punt. That play left the Lions with a 4th and 1.
-They should have gone for it.
-They should have stopped Dallas on 4th and 6
-They should not have fumbled
-They should have made a better punt.
That’s all 3 phases of the game and a coaching decision that happened after the DPI pickup.
Goodbye Detroit and next up Green Bay

And by the way, this isn’t really an opinion. Fact is, picking up the flag once the sticks had been moved and the call had been made was a bad decision. It isn’t even debatable.
You could say that they never should have thrown the flag and that would be fine. You could say that they should have conferred before moving the sticks and picked it up before making the call and that would have been fine. But what happened on the field was one of the single worst officiating blunders of all time, and it greatly changed the complexion of the game. Where it ranks on the list of all time goofs is really the only debate. [/quote]

Or the Ben dive into the end-zone that he didnt really get in. [/quote]
The pushoff and the offsides that got called holding that negated the big play were two big ones, but the illegal block on Hassellbeck when he was trying to make the tackle was the worst, most WTF moment of the game and probably one of my top 10 stupid calls.

Or the Seattle vs Green Bay replacement ref thing that happened.
[/quote]
Or the tuck rule[/quote]
Or the “immaculate reception”[/quote]
The Holy Roller was some straight up bullshit. Of course after the play they changed the rule on that one. Even Stabler admitted he fumbled it on purpose.

Don’t forget the Chargers also got screwed by playing the Bengals in the Freezer bowl in the AFC championship game. Because playing a game with a -59 degrees F wind chill is pretty standard.

Tex Schramm was the mind behind building the Cowboys as America’s Team. He hired Ton Landry, arguably one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. Landry built the team into a constant contender. The winningest NFL team in the 70’s, 5 Superbowl appearances. Schramm volunteered the Cowboys to be the second NFL game on Thanksgiving, giving them more national exposure. NM, AZ, OK, KS, NE, SD, ND, MT, IA, AR, TN, UT, WY are just some of the states that didn’t have a NFL team in the 60’s and 70’s but those states had a majority of their population become Cowboys fans for one reason or another. AZ still has a HUGE Cowboys fan base. It is my opinion that a lot of those states became Cowboys territory because they were winning a lot (Landry) and playing on Thanksgiving (Schramm).
So you can have the opinion that they are Americas team because someone called them that on a highlight reel, but I say they are Americas team because Schramm and Landry built them into Americas team.[/quote]
I agree with this post 100%. Now see my last post.[/quote]
I remember you are not a Cowboys fan because of Jerry Jones.
Let me ask you a question. What are your thoughts on the Cowboys recent success? I can’t imagine being a fan of a team then not being a fan anymore. All my teams, even when they go through owner changes, upper management changes, or they suck, stay my team. Only if they moved would that change.

Despite the latter I believe the Cowboys lost the America’s Team mantle a decade ago or so.

I didnt say I believe it, but if you listen to sports radio numbers go up when the Cowboys go into the playoffs, again I am just stating the fact they are the biggest market team and bring in the most $

Looks like the Yankees finally edged out the Cowboys.
Packers are #24, personal bias aside, this is World Wide not just US. You go outside of the US and this means people will view America’s Football and equate it to the Cowboys. It just is what it is.

Congrats on dal for capitalizing on det and the refs mistakes. Should be some good games this weekend.

It’s true, but the game should have never been played. Just bad luck for the Chargers because they were an air it out team back then with Fouts at the helm.
