If you keep the video going, Collinsworth is still talking about the non-call two drives later.

i wish there was a way to quantify bad calls per game so i could statistically back my fury at these games. maybe it's just my hatred clouding my vision but how is it every. single. cowboys game we play has some unbelievably, objectively awful call or no-call?

My granddad was a Cowboys fan. Every game of theirs I can remember seeing, they've gotten blatant help from the refs. We aren't special.

i hate conspiracy theories and seeing games like the playoffs last year where the refs said dez bryant didn't secure the catch gives me hope. but my gosh, it's just unbelievable.

especially the james anderson horse collar in 2012. no-calls are one thing. but calling a critical 4th quarter 15-yarder on something that didn't even actually happen and should've been challenged by every other judge on the field? inexcusable, unforgivable.

I was a Cowboys fan from 1st grade until we got the Panthers. 

Then i was baptized in a tub of Cheerwine and as i came out of the water i heard that angelic melody that calls us all home. Going to Carolina in my mind.

Sweet baby James with that sweet Carolina bbq sound removed the scalesfrom my eyes and i saw the light friends.

The book of Karl Hankton says if you love Cheerwine and bbq and the smell of honeysuckle while stuck on I77 then you too shall see the light.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
