Any Cowboys fans on the Yard...

I feel awful for you. Likely going to have nightmares where a game clock is chasing you.

I feel a bit better.

Dumb, but it didn't really matter - if he had gone out of bounds, they would have had to have taken a 60-something yard field goal.

If he gets out of bounds, he very likely doesn't get the first down and they're looking at about a 63-ish yard field goal on 4th down. While it's the wrong play to stay in bounds, it's by no means a guaranteed win if he does.

How much does he make?

The Lions almost blew their win as well.....they had three time outs so they got saved but there were two bonehead plays. Ebron tried to get more yardage when he was clearly stood up instead of going down and then got an earful from Stafford. On the next play the receiver got the ball and ran down field into field goal range and was basically on the sideline when he decided to stay in bounds. I thought Stafford was going to blow up on him! Seems clock management issues were rampant this weekend. Yikes!

The crazy thing in the Lions-Colts game is after the WR stayed in bounds on the play that got them into FG range and cost Detroit their final timeout, the Lions decided to run another play. They tried a pass to the sidelines and Stafford just threw it out of bounds but there were only around 15 seconds left. If something went wrong (a lineman whiffs on a block and Stafford gets sacked or the receiver isn't able to get OOB), Detroit would have lost. They knew they had no margin for error after using their last TO, so just kick the FG and try and win the game.

i think as they said in the telecast they wanted the ball on the opposite hash so they ran that play intentionally

Cowboys fan here and it was like watching the UConn game all over again. Garrett has been an AWFUL game manager. Too may times has his lack of clock management hurt Dallas.
Ruined an otherwise good game by Dak.
Oh and Bryant was non existant.

There were some good examples of doing it right also. Watching the Packers get to the line during the 2 minute drill at the end of the first half was poetry. They were all in place 3/4 seconds after the play was down. I would imagine that it takes a lot of practice to end up at that level of discipline. Even had Navy not piled on RJ - there was no way all 11 of our guys get to the line and set to run another play. They all looked like they didn't know what to do.

No one has mentioned the smart play of the Giant cornerback. He positioned himself between Williams and the sideline, thus cutting him off a bit. I think that's why Williams went downfield. It was just instinct.

 

[Scoe]

An accident waiting to happen This is such an act more then anything it would be funnier if Skip were there.

I feel better now but Stephen A got on my nerves a little wuth the woof tickets. Can't wait to play tge Giants again so when we win i can rag on him a little.

What was concerning wasn't that we didn't get a play off but that nobody seemed to have a clue that we needed to. We should have tried and we had enough time to get it done. Clearly the players weren't told what to do if we didn't score.

Like someone is going to willingly admit that?
