Exactly. If they had three more seconds, or if Dak pulled up three yards earlier and gave the ball to the ump, it might have worked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he first started running I thought they had some trick play called, or at least something clever up their sleeve. Then when he slid, I was thinking to myself there was no way he was getting another play off. I thought the old rule of thumb was to expect approximately 10 seconds to run off clock between when you are down and get another play off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stood they could have had multiple shots from the 35. I just don’t see the advantage. The extra 15 yards gets you closer but it actually shrinks the field for the prevent defense. Maybe to get from 25 to 10 I get it but where they were personally I’d like to have multiple throws at the end zone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 $72M tied up in Dak, Zeke, and Cooper....and Cowboys are projected $12M over the cap already. Something tells me that's the last time those 3 will be on the field together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Here's a fun one for my brethren. Brady has thrown for 12,720 yards in the playoffs. That would put him #3 all time in Bears passing yards just behind Luckman/Cutler but ahead of Harbaugh/McMahon. Good Lord. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to move on, or he needs to take a pay cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDom Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 I've never really paid attention, but I would assume the ref spots the ball before every play and you just can't run a play without that happening. Is that correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figuring out that contract and disposing of Zeke should be first step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the Cowboys didn't do it, but Pollard should have had the majority of touches in the game yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that correct? The rule is the ref has to touch the ball. 99.99999% of the time this requires spotting. But, technically he just has to touch.

KoB2011 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 I think the Cowboys were smart to try and pick up more yards; you’ve got a much more open playbook and ability to call a real play from near the 25 than you do near the 40. But that was probably not the right play to run. Run something that can get out of bounds inside the 30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He blew so many chances in Green Bay with his undisciplined, unprepared coaching. So glad he is a loser in Dallas. How about them Cowboys?

jv1972iu Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Bengals place defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi on IR. Really a shame as the defensive line took major hits on Saturday. Trey Hendrickson and Mike Daniels are also banged up and questionable. Hendrickson is in concussion protocol.

HoosierDom Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 The current rule is pretty flawed. What other sport has the most crucial play(s) determined by the speed at which a ref does his job? Why not have the clock stop after every play (maybe only in the last 2 to 5 minutes)and have a set time run off the clock if the previous play results in a live clock. I have a hard time feeling bad for the Cowboys, they could have done so many things differently to get that extra half second they needed, but the ref being 1 or even 2 seconds faster would still be in the range of normal (1 to 2 seconds slower would have been, too). Why not standardize it so the ref has time to do his job and the outcome of a game isn't determined by how quickly a ref can sneak through an offensive line.

btownqb Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Omg, Brian Griese just called Kyler Murray 5'11. That kid is 5'8 tops. I do respect his play though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
