A couple questions: if what Romo says is true, why didn’t the on field officials warn them or penalize them? 2) if they didn’t hear it, why didn’t Romo present it to the on field officials? 3) Doesn’t it sound a little absurd that the league would listen for noise on the tape, when they had on field officials? 4) Isn’t it an indictment on the refs that they are even listening to Romo? 5) Where’s the outrage of Romo’s criticism of the refs?

Finally, how stupid is it wait until after the game to point this out?

Yea on field officials. They were great. The same ones in the backfield that ignored Dware getting Mugged/Tackled/Held.

truthserum actually posted a fact…more painful reality for the Puke fans. Gotta laugh at walking turds like Jamie Chapman thinking that Costa couching his weak comments with “but it’s our fault and we have to fix it” negates the fact that he made excuses to deflect the blame of his poor play. Saying it was his fault after accusing the Skins of cheating (where’s the snap count on all those shotgun snaps he blew?) is MEANINGLESS…he already made the excuse you mentard.

Oh and D Hall is a loudmouthed punk for sure but he was right…there was no foul and yes he got screwed. That said, the loudmouth still was responsible for giving up multiple big plays including the penultimate one on 3rd and 21 so he needs a big cup of STFU.

Weak as hell. You’re SUPPOSED to know the snap count already, Cowboys. Are you going to muzzle everybody in the crowd because they’re making too much noise too?

Off the subject (the original story is from Tuesday morning) but relative to the Dallas/Washington game:

For what it’s worth, and sort of interesting since so many were roasting Hall for the play, here’s Mike Pereira’s take on the face mask call.

Comment From Anthony Anthony :
Tuesday September 27, 2011 1:15

The facemask on D. Hall during Dallas’ last scoring drive… I thought it’s not a penalty unless you grab the mask (and pull on it)?

1:16 That wasn’t a foul. There was no twist, turn or jerk. That was the old version of the 5 yard penalty. You are all over it, Anthony.

@rwf1984 He did take responsibility for it. It doesn’t take away blatant cheating whether or not they won or not. Had they lost you would say the same thing.

It needs to be addressed by the league, they’ve been made aware of it and I’m quite sure when we go to their house later this year it won’t be an issue, because it was brought up to the league and fixed or fixed by the Cowboys themselves.

On the Redskins last offensive play, where the eff was Grossman running? He should have thrown the ball away. Why was he running?

I am guessing the cowboys dont mind cheating when ware is offsides several times and never get flagged?
Or holding 2 guys to get romo time while dez gets 21 yards downfield?
As usual for Jerrah, when you cant win with talent. Pull out some of the ref fund.

Whose fault was it the week or two before when the center hiked a ball to a very surprised and unprepared Romo and bounced it off his chest?

@andybo53

Why don’t you buy a clue you friggin’ idiot. It’s common knowledge of the Donkies salary cap violations in the late 90s.

Since you’re obviously a little punk, I’m sure you’ve heard of Google right? Well, why don’t you try using it to do some research on your own before questioning the validity of my post you little piss-ant.

How would Tex Schramm and Tom Landry handle this? Only the Jerry Jones version would cry about this.

“Cowboy Up” and just shove the ball down their throats! This is supposed to be the NFL, right?

Vick & Hall: “Wah! Why me?”

Cowboys: “The Redskins cheated. But it’s on us to get this right and not put ourselves in a position where this can happen.”

I hope the difference is clear.

Cowboy haters are the dumbest of all haters. He literally said that the bad snaps where still his fault regardless of what the skins did with the snap counts. I swear you idiots have no intelligence and lack the basic ability to read and comprehend.

I get that calling out the count could call the center to snap the ball early but how exactly does this to get the center to launch the ball 20 or 25 yards down field?

Also if this is the case why was Romo yelling at the center during the game and not yelling at the D-line or officials.

Dallas won the game and still the team has sour grapes? What gives with that? Sour grapes has no places for winners. If Romo keeps crying he’ll start sounding a lot like MeAngelo.

“I guess you have to smash teams and crush dreams for a decade for the haters to come out. ”

Nope…just cheat to win, or have M. Vick as your QB.

Go Eagles.

The Cowboys should have used “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” as the snap signal.

No Redskin D-lineman could remember that.

You won the game, so just STFU and hurry up and keep stinking it up…Both teams looked awful, but the Skins got the biggest play busted on them.

I don’t see anyone crying, I see a reporter asking a question and it being answered. STFU Skins fans, your exposed cheating and all the Boys mistakes still couldn’t get you a W…lol HAIL EM UP????

The only issue I had with the officiating was the missed holding call when Demarcus Ware’s leg was grabbed from behind and the defenselss WR personal foul when they let Landry light up Robinson on the sideline.

In the end the Cowboys came away with the win.

THWTR……FAIL!

Bigger issues…why is it that the center can’t tell that the call is coming from directly in front of him and not 5 yards behind him??? FAIL…sir….FAIL

jeez, Romo, i like how tough you were, but ENOUGH!!!! you won!!!! MOVE ON!!!! Quit trying to make it worse by accusing a team of cheating, only one Redskin said the refs messed up, not the entire team.

For those that say it’s part of the game, please tell me when blatant attempts to cheat were woven into the game.

It doesn’t really sound like Romo is claiming this happened by his own experience, but more that he’s taking Costa’s word on it. After the game Romo claimed that Costa told him it had been going on. As a Cowboys fan its hard to decide whether its legitimate or just the excuse Costa came up with for playing so poorly. I tend to lean toward the latter, but I remember Gurode had this problem pop up occasionally too, so I’m thinking that its a bit of Romo’s cadence being easy to duplicate and that teams are actually doing it. I would imagine there will be quite a bit of practice time spent this week to fix the problem.
