Matt Jones breakdown the officiating 2-pt conversion in Cowboys win over Lions: the refs screwed

Looking throwing it to the left it is dropped dropped by the tight end Mitchell we’ve had a bit of an unusual year just because of the you know the margins of Victory but we knew this stretch was going to be rough and uh this is exactly what we

Needed still haven’t heard an apology from Brad Allen or his crew after the botched two-point call was he eligible was he not eligible did he report did he not report hm still waiting on that maybe the NFL can get on that quickly on this New Year’s Day Courtney Cronin and

Matt Jones with you on on Sportsman likee on ESPN radio and over on ESPN 2 this show as always presented by Progressive Insurance you heard the call there on 1053 The Fan in Dallas this was supposed to be like the biggest storyline coming out of this game was

Supposed to be Jimmy Johnson’s Hall of Fame induction into the Dallas Ring of Honor and what a incredible moment that was for him at halftime but it was marred Matt by the fact that there was a botched call from official Brad Allen who was his crew was also part of

Another controversial call at the end of the Packers Chiefs game couple weeks ago the non- call on a DPI that ended up costing the the Detroit Lions a win it was a 20 to9 win for the Dallas Cowboys they escape at home one of their lower scoring Affairs inside AT&T Stadium this

Year and it leaves a lot of questions about whether this Dallas team got off scott free in a moment where if this goes the other way we’re probably talking about Mike McCarthy blowing it once again in the late portion of a game but now we’re waiting to figure out is

This Detroit Lions team a formidable playoff opponent I think they still are I think they got they were the product of a really bad call a really bad situation at the end of the game but we still it’s still a loss on their record it still hurts their chances of getting

The number one overall seed and there was a considerable amount to play for for Detroit right despite the fact that they will get no seed lower than a three seed in the playoffs well first of all they got robbed I mean let’s let’s be real they got Rob that was a complete

Joke of a call officials are the last people on Earth that don’t ever have to apologize about anything seriously those of you at home grow up and be an official because you can do anything wrong you won’t lose your job and when you’re asked about it you can look into

The camera and just say falsehoods and everybody just says it’s okay you can look and say oh 70 is the the one that told me they were eligible no they didn’t we have eyes we saw the video you’re wrong you I’m not going to say he

Lied cuz I don’t know the man but he was at least confused and he stayed confused I don’t know why anyone officials do they not have social media can they not go look back and see that they screwed up the NFL still hasn’t apologize probably won’t apologize because again

It’s the O officiating is the only entity on Earth where you can screw up and it’s never your fault now I bias because I one times got a su got sued by official yeah but I won the lawsuit and I hate the fact that officials are the

Only people that never have to say they’re sorry with that said it’s a huge huge huge mistake because what’s going to probably end up happening is Dallas is going to get the two and Detroit’s going to get the three and when they play each other in the semi-finals which

Is likely the game will be in Dallas because the NFL screwed it up that is a complete shame and there’s there’s nothing that can be done about it I don’t blame Detroit Detroit is better than in Dallas but they may lose at Dallas solely because a referee couldn’t

Tell the difference between 70 and 68 and as much as I loved watching Jimmy Johnson who at 80 years old has Immaculate hair that is my takeaway from the game the NFL official has made a conscious decision to screw up the playoffs and to who will host a major

Game by their mistakes okay so to catch you up on this with 141 left Dallas ends up giving the ball back for some inexplicable reason Mike McCarthy decides he doesn’t want to run it they end up not being able to close out their series they give the Detroit Lions the

Ball back and Detroit goes down and scores Dan Campbell says I want to go for the win they decide they want to run this trick play you see you’ve seen the video by now Brad Allen looks like he’s acknowledging Taylor Decker is eligible I’m watching this again and he said in a

Pool report afterwards that seven Dan Skipper had reported as eligible not Taylor Decker so it ends up being illegal touching after Decker goes out Courtney let’s be real do you think he was mistaken or he lied because those are the only two options here is what

Here’s my take on it I believe that when we heard from Dan Campbell afterwards we we’ll hear from him momentarily because he was iate and I do think that he is somewhat at fault for how this whole thing played out but when there are trick plays that are run like this often

Times pregame you will have a coach players go up to the officials and say hey in this situation we are going to have an extra lineman on the field we’re going to potentially bring two of them over to talk to you to throw it off as a decoy look but here’s what we’re

Going to do to make sure that everybody is eligible I believe that Brad Allen got this information three hours before this moment and that In the Heat of the Moment to put it like to put it like just in layman’s terms I think he had a brain fart I think that he did

Then just come out and apologize drives me crazy that he had the audacity to come out and say 70 is the one that did that is just a complete falsehood it does feel like a li in that moment I get you okay fine he had a brain fart in the

Moment but he said it an hour later after we had all seen the video I I can M everyone makes mistakes oh yes they do so I am okay with the mistake it happens but the fact that an hour later he didn’t say anything and it is now Monday

Morning and I don’t know what time it is but it’s still dark outside so it’s too early at some point the NFL has to apologize and they haven’t which means they won’t and that’s what drives me crazy about this is the arrogance of everyone involved in officiating in the

NFL that you can screw up and never acknowledge it because they never do have to apologize they should I Matt I’m with you on that but to I I’ll put my NFL hat on right now and tell you they’re not going to do it because they believe that coming out and admitting

Fault whether it’s for the non-pass interference call in 2019 NFC Championship game to this call that admitting fault to them ends up affecting their credibility offens affects their credibility more the other way when you admit fault at least I understand that we’re both living in the

Same rational world when I sit and look at a person say to me 70 it reported not 68 and with my eyes I see the opposite I look at you and go you are the most uncredible Source in the America I mean to me actually coordinate it has the

Opposite effect I understand and I’m with you on that here’s what he had to say so they do a pool report afterwards you’ll get one reporter who’s able to when there is a controversial call you get a reporter from the local chapter of the Pro Football writers association of

America this case it was a Dallas reporter who went up to Brad Allen and asked like why was there illegal touching on the two-point conversion and what Allan said I’m going to read this for btim he said quote so we had a situation where if you were going to

Have an eligible ineligible number occupy an eligible position you have to report that to the referee on this particular play number 70 who’s Dan Skipper he is the extra lineman here had reported during the game a couple of times there were two other times that this had happened I know I’m kind of

Interjecting here but follow with me so he lined up at the tackle position and according to Brad Allen he didn’t have to report at all because he had already been in the game number 68 who ended up going downfield and touching the past did not report very clearly as Matt

You’re pointing out there we see Taylor Decker much closer to Brad Allen not going he’s not going over to the referee in that moment ahead of a two-point conversion to go ask what he did for Christmas like there’s clear clearly a conversation that’s going on at that

Point he’s lying he’s either lying or he’s still mistaken an hour later and I don’t I I don’t understand why people won’t just say that just say why I mean they will people will crush coaches they’ll Crush players they’ll Crush Roger Crush Roger Goodell why can’t we just say official you either are

Completely wrong or you’re lying period there’s nothing there’s no other answer well they’re getting crushed on social media they’re getting crushed by all of us on every Sports Talk radio station in the country right now but it is what it is they’re not going to change a win or

A loss based on an officials mistake and that’s why Dan Campbell was irate following the game take a listen to when he this after the game when he was asked about where his frustration comes from following the 20 to9 loss we can see the frustration in your face can you just

Explain where it comes from right now is it the result what would you be would you be frustrated right now I mean is it on the call is it on the execution is it you know what is I don’t like losing Dave and that’s what happened we lost

And that bothers me you know it bothers me I don’t like having an l that’s the frustration I’m sorry I don’t mean it it’s you and that’s another thing Courtney by the way it drives me insane that we find these guys only if they criticize officials they can criticize

Anyone else and it’s fine but if you say something about an official you get criticized that’s absolute nonsense yeah it’s a loss that ends up having playoff implications tied in with it as you pointed out Dallas gets a two seed they’re in line right now to win the NFC

East if Detroit gets the three they may end up seeing Dallas in the postseason and that game would be taken place spee fore spee speech forign speech Foree foreign fore Foree fore Foree fore Fore Foree Spe Fore Fore fore fore Foree
