Week 3: Cowboys (1-1) @ Rams (1-1)

Cowboys got lucky. Except for the no-call on tripping by Jenkins, Cowboys got all the breaks from the refs. Bogus penalties, bad spots. Awful.

Good teams overcome bad officiating.

"Good teams overcome bad officiating" never made sense to me. It's like blaming a team for not overcoming BS calls against them. It's a stupid saying IMO.

I disagree he's spot on good teams don't use any excuses whatsoever

[Steven78]

It wasn't about good teams using excuses. It was about good teams "overcoming" bad calls against them.

[moylan1234]

But that's exactly what good teams do they overcome adversity. Bad calls fall under that category

[Steven78]

Except when they don't, depending on the call(s) and when they happen. Most games hinge on 4-5 key plays that if they went differently the outcome could be different. Officials definitely can influence the outcomes of games even against good teams.

Not if you don't allow them too
