The stats they show in the article are almost impossible to explain unless somone is spending a lot of time in the Sports Books.


Throughout Smith’s tenure as a head referee, he’s developed a reputation for trying to mitigate teams’ homefield advantages. That’s reflected in a tendency to call more penalties on the home team. No crew called a larger percentage of penalties against the home team than Smith’s crew last season, which marked the third time he’s done that in six full seasons leading his own crew.

Historically speaking, Smith’s tenure has seen a pretty terrible record for the home team too. In his six full seasons leading a crew, Smith has seen the home team go 42-54, with the home team posting a losing record under Smith in all but one season of his. Last year, the home team was a dismal 3-14 in games called by Smith.

I'll say it again.....the NFL has an officiating problem and the Cowboys have a QB problem.

Dallas has a great field goal kicker and Dak doesn't take the chance to throw it in the end zone on a third down. That's not hungry, thats just settling for 3

No call on a blatantly obvious Parsons hold on that play. Whatever.....

QB paid 240 million to throw nothing but 5 yard passes, what a clock killer, especially when your down 13 points!

We knew this was going to be a coming down to Earth type of week; I guess I was hoping it would just be a slightly gentler landing...
