Seriously, Im not making excuses as a packer fan. The calls were really onesided. Even sports reporters & the Cowboy fans @ the sports bar I was at were saying the refs will be reported & reviewed. I am trying to be objective, although I am upset we lost, but i really feel we were hurt with BS penalties. Also what did you think of the NFL's coverage of the game?

The game was lost because Mc Idiot didn't prepare the team, had the wrong game plan and doesn't have a clue what he is doing. The refs always seem to be working for Jerry...

First off I am a Jets fan and saw the game last night so I am not leaning towards one team.I felt that the refs were one sided against the Cowboys in their home stadium. There were so many holds on the Packers O-line and I know holding occurs on almost every play but when I see a several different plays Cowboy D-linemen being dragged to the turf and nothing being called I think something is wrong. The only thing that I heard being talked about was the pass interference call that got the cowboys on the goalline. I agree with that call because if you look at the replay the d-back grabbed the receiver's arm while the ball was in the air so technically that counts as interference along with the "tangling" of the feet.

For one the NFL network did a bad job with the whole thing. The announcers kept mixing up the teams. They called Barber a Packer at least four times if not more.
The Packers didn't play that well last night. Brett kept trying to get touchdowns in one throw. Instead of doing the short passes that have won the games. Also a lot of the Packers were hurt. Rogers played good. But there were some bad calls by the refs. All in all the Cowboys played a good game.
But I think once the Pack gets their injured players healthy they will come back and could make a run for the super bowl.
Go Pack Go!!!

I'm actually a side fan of both teams and I saw the blatant face mask that were good calls. As for the call on the pass interference at the end (the legs did get tangled and I didn't notice that it was even pass interference), but the officials have the final say unless challenged..in which a review is done and sometimes a higher up decides differently. By the way, there was a few calls on Cowboys as well...like when they didn't even score anything at the goal line in the 3rd quarter. I mean, they just kept being pushed back further by penalties. It wasn't really that on sided, in my opinion. The fact was that it was a heated game and when that happens mistakes are often made.

The game wasn't called that one sided. There were phatom holding calls on both sides.
The pass interference on Miles Austin in the 4th Quarter was a good call, if you watch the replay objectively you will see the packer's DB grabs his shoulder pads slowing his momentium. By rule that is pass interference. It wasn't about the tangling of the feet. Feet getting tangled is not pass interference, but grabbing of an arm/shoulder pads is. If Packers fans have a problem with the call, get a defensive back that can cover the other teams 4th Wide Reciever.
As far as the Al Harris strip of TO. Just like in baseball tie goes to the offensive. If both an offensive player has the ball and the defensive player also has the ball, it's the offense's ball. TO stepped out of bounds while both had possession. If it was 6 inches more inbounds it's obviously Packer ball. But it wasn't. Watch the replay.

What coverage? I don't have a satelitte, so I could not watch it, even though my cable company carries the NFL network, it was blacked out. I did however get to watch the 0-10 Miami Dolphins play the Pittsburgh Steelers in the "Mud Bowl" monday night. Scheduling problems?
We have all had our teams beat up by the officials now and again. They are a neccessary evil in the game and often times they are mistaken. Cheer up my friend. Nobody really likes the Cowboys anyways since that whole Brokeback Mountain thing...

I would agree, but every game is one sided depending on who you are cheering for.
I thought the game was called pretty fairly, however, with the exception of the Pass Interefenence call towards the end. It was a game changing penalty.
The official that was two feet from the play called no penalty, it was obviously they tripped! Then the official not close to the play throws the flag like 30 seconds late.
That was to say the least a very questionable call!
I think Pass Interference should be a challengable call because they rarely get it right.

UM... No their were bad calls both ways. How about the Packers first drive on like 3rd down the play clock ran out and there was like a whole second before Brett snapped the ball, just one bad call out of many for both teams. The game wasn't onesided! GO COWBOYS! Your just jealous cause ROMO is better than Brett

Officiating didnt influence last nights game at all. Sorry, but you can always question a call in a game when that game comes down to that one call. The pack was blown out in the first half and It would have been alot worse without the Cowboys screwing around in the 3rd quarter like they did.
It was a 10 point win and should have been worse. Dallas could have added on that field goal when they went on 4th down instead, and T.O. could have actually tried not to be a cute *** and hauled in that catch right in his hands for another td.

It was a well called game, the only call that Packers fans can complain about was the pass interference call, and I have seen that call made for less contact before. The thing Packers fans should be happy about is that it looks like Rodgers is the guy for when Favre does retire.

The officiating was awful. Harris took that ball from T.O. before T.O.'s forward progress was halted, and before he went out of bounds. That play completely changed the momentum of the game. I won't even touch the controversial P.I. call, because I can see it being called either way. I will say, however, that it seemed to me that on both of these plays, the referee with the best view made the right call and was overturned. Fishy...
All in all, Dallas did play better and probably deserved to win the game. It was very frustrating to see Favre take the Hail Mary approach again.
