Hate to admit it, but I saw it wide to, anyway Skins won so I could care less about this guy opinion

And the other side of the argument:

Note that the FanHouse writer doesn't bother to note the bogus holding call that cost the Skins a touchdown, nor did he bother to provide the link above (came from the comments section), that tells you all you need to know about his allegiances.

The point is so moot...if the FG was no good it doesn't mean Dallas wins just because we won be two points?? Zorn played for a FG at the end to make it a two score lead...otherwise he would have played for the TD...I man enough to admit we we get beat...this game was a few penalties away from being a blowout!!

It is impossible to say from that camera angle whether the ball hooked before or after the uprights.

That's why they have those guys standing under the goal posts.

Also, I believe a field goal kick is reviewable and that if they felt it was wide left, the 'pukes could have challenged it.

Everytime I see that kick I think it's a miss. LOL When it happened in real-time I almost blew a gasket until I saw the signal for a good kick.

I thought he had missed it at first until I saw the refs arms go up. Are Pie fans really thinking the ref doesn't have the best angle, looking straight up the goalpost? Or are they suggesting he wasn't watching or is flat out cheating? I have a hard time believing the refs were on the take after the two TDs they called back on us.

im just glad we won, but i will admit i too thought that the FG was no good. Obviously it was, and just a weird angle on tv or somthing, but i was totally expecting the no good signal from the refs!

On TV when it happened i thought it was miss too.

I'm with you, I thought it was a miss three. It was like that Michael Phelps finish in the Olympics where he won by like 100th of a second and every time I replayed it on TiVo I STILL thought he lost. But yeah, there are so many close calls both ways in these games it's nuts to say one made "the" difference in the outcome.

There were two --count 'em-- two referees who didn't hesitate on the call. Kick was good.

Looked like a miss, but the refs have the best angle

And, not a single puke player on the field was calling for the review flag...

That alone seals it for me. Refs saw it as 3... Cowboys saw it as 3... no issue here (unless you happen to be one of those crybaby puke fans who believe they are entitled to wins)

Big thing for me is the Cowboy fans right behind the goal past didn't go nuts celebrating like it was missed, so the general feeling was he made it, and they all had angles.

Exactly.

It's happened before...

LoL, I was saying expletives to Sushi when I saw it, then did a total 180 when I saw the REF's hand signal is good. Good times....
