Jerry Jones on KTCK this morning said the ref did make a mistake in letting the clock run. Said the ref did not have the frame of mind to remember it was 4th down and the clock should stop on change of possession. And it was not reviewable because the ref had told both teams to leave the field.

I can't believe they could screw that one up. Even I knew that before the TV guys were talking about it. Even the DEFENSE knew to try to sack Grossman as fast as possible to get that ball back. Old Wade looked stunned when he was trying to get his guys on the field.

That crew was terrible. In a tight game like that at half, imagine what it could've cost us. Plus they made other bad calls, really bad ones, like that Witten "illegal block" on that long run? That looked picture perfect! One of Julius' long runs too came back on a bad call I think. Plus even that Cedric Benson "fumble"? Hmmm, if that were the Cowboys, I'd rather they make the other team challenge that it was a fumble, especially if you can't see the ball carrier. Even in the replays you couldn't see him.

the CHI papers even admitted the pass interference call on TO was not pass interference...

in the CHI papers today - Griese to replace Grossman

^ Yup, forgot about that TO pass interference call.

^ Yeah, poor Grossman. Poor Chi fans though, to be so screwed at QB that they're begging for Griese. Yikes.
