That said, I will admit that the unneccessary roughness call on Demarcus Ware was BS.

My voice is hoarse today because of that call on D-Ware. It was my understanding that some of the non clock stoppage had to do with counting forward progress, but that likely doesn't explain every incidence you are referring to (I've noticed quite a few clock oddities this year). I won't argue about the McIntosh call (pretty certain it hit the turf, but it is a moot point now)...suffice it to say Romo got away with several near-interceptions.
I just wanted to chime in and say that while I figured this would be a close one, I never expected to be on the edge of my seat, shouting all afternoon. That was one incredible game, and I honestly still would have been proud had we lost, just based on the caliber of play on both sides of the ball. Definitely no smack-talking going on today on my part...looking forward to 12/30 that much more now.
