NFL Refs Cheat for the NY Giants

Everyone wonders why the Cowboys have so much "talent" yet are always around 8-8.  Well look no further than the Cowboy hating NFL referees.  As demonstrated in many posts here, there's lots of data to show how the northeast media hates the Cowboys as well as the NY based NFL offices, but this bias continues onto the field with the referees.  Look at my previous blog posts detailing the penalties against the Cowboys and "no call" penalties against the Cowboy opponents.

But it's a new season, and every year we Cowboy fans think.... they can't continue to cheat like this.  So we go into each new season with new hope that games will be called fairly and unbiased.  Well if the first game is any indication of the remaining 2013 season, then our hopes have been destroyed once again.  

In the first game of the year at AT&T stadium against the NY Giants.  The Giants improbably came back against a 17 point lead late in the game.  However, as detailed by other people (people who are less Cowboys biased as me) demonstrate that at least two of the Giants' TDs should not have been TDs.  As usual, it's as much about the "no calls" against the Cowboys opponents as it is the calls against the Cowboys.  With the help of the referees, the Giants got a little 14 point boost.  Take a look at the analysis from two different people on two different plays below which details how the referees tried to help the Giants.

1.  Bob Sturm did a break down with pics from the play where NY giants had a big 70 yard TD where they got up to the line quickly before our defense was ready.  So as he explains, part of the problem was that our defense was not set and bit confused, but he also showed in the pics, that we were bringing a corner blitz (in this case Orlando Scandrick was blitzing ELI).  In the pics he shows that the Left Tackle was "MAJOR HOLDING" against the blitzing CB, Scandrick.

BTW Bob Sturms Blog is excellent and provides incredible weekly analysis.

2.  And the second little help to the Giants provided by the Refs ...... This tweet provided by Mike Pereira, former VP of NFL officiating and posted as a story by Dallas Morning News........

The Victor Cruz should not have even been a catch, let alone a TD.  Incredible!

14 extra points the NFL refs gave to the Giants.  And we wonder why the Giants had won 4 in a row previously and made this one close even though it shouldn't have.  
The answer of course is because the Cowboys hating bias flows all the way down to the field in the form of NFL referees, who each week do everything they can to help the Cowboys opponents.  It's time for the most popular NFL franchise's owner, Jerry Jones, to step in and do something to try and stop this fraud.

Negative Media

So following up on my comment from the previous post about the media painting the Cowboys in a negative light.....

As I watched coverage of training camp by ESPN and particularly NFL network yesterday, I couldn't help but notice the disdain and disrespect by which all of the coverage and interviews were done when it came to the Cowboys.  Then with other teams, they treated the player being interviewed or the coverage with respect and straight coverage.  I'll give a couple of examples to make my point....

• NFL Network - while camera was in studio with a live video feed of the Cowboys practicing in the background in pads but with no helmets.....NFL commentator said "I thought they were supposed to be in pads, but they don't have any helmets....where's there helmets....(another commentator interjected).... Yeah where's that Star.... in a very derogatory voice.

• NFL Network - about to go live to Michael Irvin in Oxnard California to Cowboys Training Camp, Rich Eisen says...."Cowboys have been in Oxnard for Training Camp now for several years, I'm surprised they haven't got a sponsor contract for naming rights for the field"...... again done in a very derogatory voice.  

Really?!  Oh yeah, last I checked Cowboys Stadium is just Cowboys Stadium (I know this is about to change soon).  Not like the 49ers and every other team that sells the naming rights to the stadium.  From Eisen's comment, you would think the Cowboys are the only team to generate revenue from sponsorships.  Really?!  Then immediately following this snide comment, the NFL cameras show the Eagles at "Novacare" Practice Field.  But nay, not one comment from Rich Eisen.  What's the deal?!  What does he have against the Cowboys?

• NFL Network - The big eared guy for NFL network while interviewing Witten.... "So in Jason Garrett's team speech video, he said the team needs leaders.  Was he calling you guys out, because you don't have leaders on the team?"  

Really?!  Every coach in the NFL talks about leaders on the team and in opening speeches to the team for the year.  And the big eared guy has to turn it around and make it sound like the coach is calling guys out for not being a leader, on day one of training camp before any work is even completed.
Really?!

So why the constant negative bias against a team that hasn't even been relevant (one playoff win in 15 years)?
