re: Why does everyone just ignore what happened in the first 53 minutes of the game?

In the first quarter, the Detroit punter lands on a Dallas player and gets a call that keep the drive going. Not a terrible call by any stretch, but one they let go at least half the time and eventually led to seven points.

On the same drive, a blatant hold allowed Bush to get the edge on his touchdown run yet went uncalled.

Also in the first quarter, a blatant hands to the face during a Romo sack goes uncalled and a drive ends.

In the second quarter, Calvin Johnson got away with a significant push off on a third down reception on a drive that resulted in a FG

In the third quarter, Dallas had a TD taken away on a very weak Jason Witten holding call. Now they eventually scored, but they needed four downs to do it. That could have easily resulted in a seven point swing.

If the refs were in play for Dallas, how does one explain these things which resulted in Dallas needing to make a pretty significant come back?

You missed the worst call of the game. When they called Terrance Williams for PI when the Detroit player freaking pushed him on his route taking away a huge 1st down and making it 3rd and 15. Difference is cowboys werent pussies and they scored a TD on the next play. Detroit had the opportunity to not be pussies and convert the 4th and 1. They punted instead because of JIM
