So all the pundits are picking the 49?rs because they don?t

[CaptainObvious]

Have faith in Dak being a consistent enough QB to win a playoff game.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I would not either. Dak is injured right now. Add that into the fact that the 49ers are going to force the Cowboys to either A) commit to stopping the run and make Diggs play man, which he struggles with or B) play their usual zone and let the 49ers gash them. Not a good situation for the Cowboys.

[msstate7]

If that's their reason, I don't buy it. I do think SF is gonna be a real challenge though

[MrCoachKlein]

I think the cowgirls have the better team, but SF has the coaching. Shanahan is one of the best and it's surprising to me that McCarthy has a job.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I think the cowgirls have the better team, but SF has the coaching. Shanahan is one of the best and it's surprising to me that McCarthy has a job.

I have always thought that McCarthy was just brought in to be a placeholder until Jerry thought Kellen Moore was ready.

[Commercecomet24]

Well Dak will just have to do what he's been doing forever. Prove everyone wrong!

[WhiskeyPirate]

I chose dak, Elliott and the Dallas d today so we will see

Dak has his off weeks but he usually steps up big when he has to. Dallas d has playing well also.

[MrCoachKlein]

I chose dak, Elliott and the Dallas d today so we will see

Dak has his off weeks but he usually steps up big when he has to. Dallas d has playing well also.

Zeke isn't even the best back on the team lol.

[KOdawg1]

Dak is a better QB than Jimmy G.

Shanahan is a better coach than Mike M.

Dallas has home field advantage.

I think Dallas has a slightly better defense.

I'll take the Cowboys in a close one.

[Cooterpoot]

I would not either. Dak is injured right now. Add that into the fact that the 49ers are going to force the Cowboys to either A) commit to stopping the run and make Diggs play man, which he struggles with or B) play their usual zone and let the 49ers gash them. Not a good situation for the Cowboys.

Diggs is waaay better in man than zone. It's not close. He gets killed in zone. And Dallas plays a ton of man coverage anyway. Quinn got away from the zone this year.

[Dawg_Lover]

Well Dak will just have to do what he's been doing forever. Prove everyone wrong!


Like the wise Mr Miyagi, in Karate Kid, Commerce trying to pass wisdom to young grasshoppers. 😃👍

[Ari Gold]

So they don’t trust Dak but they trust Jimmy G??
That’s very lazy..

[Commercecomet24]

Dallas defense scares me. They're boom or bust. No consistency

[Statecoachingblows**]

Dallas defense scares me. They're boom or bust. No consistency

Looked pretty bad on the opening drive, better shape up quickly.

[State82]

Just what I was afraid of. Dallas is going to get the everliving shit beat out of them.

[OLJWales]

Dallas D Opens the Show playing Hot Duck Butter.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Kellen Moore sux

[Commercecomet24]

Nice blocking by the ol on that drive lol

[RougeDawg]

Moore?s opening drive play calling was Croomesque. Holy shit he?s really bad sometimes.

[OLJWales]

And To not be outdone, O Plays Wounded Canary Role.

[State82]

This is 17ing embarrassing

[msstate7]

What a terrible decision by jimmy G. That might spare the cowboys... for the moment

[msstate7]

This is 17ing embarrassing

I know it's a lot of cowboys fans here bc of dak, but the 49ers are the better team. They had a ton of injuries that made their record bad, but they'd have destroyed the nfc east

[msstate7]

Dak, you gotta answer here

[KOdawg1]

Dak needs to get some points here

[RougeDawg]

I know it's a lot of cowboys fans here bc of dak, but the 49ers are the better team. They had a ton of injuries that made their record bad, but they'd have destroyed the nfc east

Dallas had plenty of key injuries too.

That being said Dallas is either on or off in games it seems. Almost looks as if they game planned for a different team some days. SF was clearly showing all out blitz on that Zeke run and Dak still went with it. Still early but they look lost.

[Maroonthirteen]

I've been a Cowboys fan since Dorsett. I love Dak. But he has no help.

No defense. Pollard doesn't get enough carries. The offensive scheme is head scratching.

[msstate7]

That's a big 1st down. Give your D a break

[msstate7]

Cowboys already calling desperation type calls

[RougeDawg]

Cowboys already calling desperation type calls

Another drive killed by a holding call by a guy who led the league in holding.

[R2Dawg]

I've been a Cowboys fan since Dorsett. I love Dak. But he has no help.

No defense. Pollard doesn't get enough carries. The offensive scheme is head scratching.

Me as well. The cowboys OL is just not that great. They are hurting on injuries too. Pollard is so good. Dallas needs a couple big DT. They just don't have any size.

[Commercecomet24]

McCarthy not a good coach and Jerry running the show it's like a freaking clown car.

[msstate7]

Another drive killed by a holding call by a guy who led the league in holding.

It was a hold though. They gotta keep SF off of dak

[R2Dawg]

Cowboys D getting gashed. Penalties kill every positive play on O, that or a blunder by OL.

[msstate7]

Me as well. The cowboys OL is just not that great. They are hurting on injuries too. Pollard is so good. Dallas needs a couple big DT. They just don't have any size.

That's part of the problem with mega contracts for qbs... doesn't leave a lot of money for those around him. I saw this firsthand a buncha years bc of Brees' contract. We nailed the 2019 draft, and that's what it takes to win with a qb on a huge contract

[msstate7]

That's where you don't attack Dallas, outside

[FriarsPoint]

Jerry Jones has the most valuable franchise on the planet and can’t do shit with it. F ing egomaniac.

[Activated Alpha]

Cannot wait to see how the Twitter Boys will blame Dak for this loss

[RougeDawg]

It was a hold though. They gotta keep SF off of dak

Not saying it wasn?t. There has to be some lack of technique by an OL with that many holds because his guy is getting past him and all he can do is hold.

[RougeDawg]

This game is only going to change if Dallas D can get a momentum changing turnover. They are flat on both sides of the ball.

[msstate7]

This game is only going to change if Dallas D can get a momentum changing turnover. They are flat on both sides of the ball.

Certainly can't give up a td here. I think they're still alive with a fg

[Commercecomet24]

Cowboys D getting gashed. Penalties kill every positive play on O, that or a blunder by OL.

Story of the season.

[OLJWales]

Starting to think Gunsmoke Re-Run in a bit. I vow to have a relaxing Sunday.

[msstate7]

I think it'll be jimmy g or Winston in New Orleans next year, and I'm fine with either

[State82]

This is one of the most ill prepared NFL playoff teams I've seen in a long time.

[CaptainObvious]

They ain?t flat. They just plain out suck!

The NFC East is a pure waste.

Put the Cowboys in the West and they are 4th.

[msstate7]

SF needs to go for the throat here. Cowboys are fortunate with this call

[Commercecomet24]

This is one of the most ill prepared NFL playoff teams I've seen in a long time.

This. Man they look totally unprepared on both sides. I know why Rodgers wanted McCarthy out in Green Bay

[Commercecomet24]

Holding to fg they still in it but they gotta score this drive.

[msstate7]

That fg was dumb by shannahan. They had a chance to kill shot dallas. Cowboys need to make him pay for that

[MoreCowbell]

This could not have started any worse. The game is already over

[MoreCowbell]

That fg was dumb by shannahan. They had a chance to kill shot dallas. Cowboys need to make him pay for that

I know, why not go for it there and put them out of their misery, not like Cowboys are doing anything on offense

[msstate7]

This could not have started any worse. The game is already over

Cowboys just need a score

[State82]

That fg was dumb by shannahan. They had a chance to kill shot dallas. Cowboys need to make him pay for that

We were just discussing that at the bar. That was stupid.

[Commercecomet24]

Cowboys just need a score

Yeah they still in it. Need a score of any kind here and not give up anything else this half

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Jones sealed the fate of the Cowboys when he signed Zeke to the big contract.

[Commercecomet24]

That fg was dumb by shannahan. They had a chance to kill shot dallas. Cowboys need to make him pay for that

Yeah Dallas ain't stopping them. Go for the kill.

[msstate7]

Great pass and pass protection

[Commercecomet24]

Right back in it!

[magrooder]

Well, the O woke up, now the D needs a 3 and out or a turnover and set things right.

[Bdawg]

Jones sealed the fate of the Cowboys when he signed Zeke to the big contract.

Yeah Terrible. SF got 6th rounder in the backfield. Can't overpay on RB like that.

[KOdawg1]

What a dime

[sleepy dawg]

I normally don't care much about Dallas, but I have found myself pulling pretty hard for them today.

[MoreCowbell]

This could not have started any worse. The game is already over

^^^was intentional, and it worked

[Commercecomet24]

That was a dime.

[Commercecomet24]

^^^was intentional, and it worked

Keep it going then!

[msstate7]

Jimmy G hand hurting

[RougeDawg]

Must be nice to be a fan of a team with an automatic kicker. We haven?t had one since Westerfield.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Dallas plays defense like its optional

[Commercecomet24]

These fgs may come back to haunt sf. Hopefully anyways

[msstate7]

That's on dak

[msstate7]

That's 1 hell of a 1-td gain

[Cooterpoot]

Dak has been so inaccurate. Everything still high and behind guys. Been that way since he got hurt.

[Commercecomet24]

And Wilson loses the ball in the sun. Smh

[msstate7]

Great punt

[maroonmania]

No team can win with the amount of penalties that the Cowboys rack up on offense, defense and even special teams. When you get 6 or 7 holding calls a game it kills everything you try to do.

[MoreCowbell]

Close the f*****g windows Jerry

[Bdawg]

Jerry builds a billion dollars palace but forgets to put the drapes on the windows. Cost him a FG chance. Always thought the windows facing the setting sun was really stupid.

[State82]

3 timeouts and you don't use any on the last drive. Dumbass.

[Commercecomet24]

They lost a fg opportunity because they can't find a way to block the sun in a gazillion dollar stadium geez

[Maroonthirteen]

Well.... would have been really nice to get any points on that last drive. But get the ball to open the 2nd, score a TD, new ball game.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Dak hasn?t been the same since he started dating the blonde.

[maroonmania]

49ers finally make a mistake on special teams and Cowboys can't make them pay. And AGAIN the Jerryworld facility screws up a play.

[KOdawg1]

The Cowboys deserve to lose. They just do.

[CadaverDawg]

Dak is about to be labeled a guy that can't win the big games. And it's hard to argue.

[maroonmania]

Is that hard for a defense not to jump offsides? I mean really.

[Commercecomet24]

Is that hard for a defense not to jump offsides? I mean really.

Apparently for Dallas. Poorly coached team

[maroonmania]

Dak is about to be labeled a guy that can't win the big games. And it's hard to argue.

Pretty simple right now for Dallas. When their defense makes some stops and forces turnovers they win, otherwise they lose. If the 49ers don't turn the ball over in this 2nd half Dallas has very little chance to win.

[magrooder]

94 is lining up in the neutral zone on every play

[MoreCowbell]

Dak hasn?t been the same since he started dating the blonde.

Thank you, someone else has noticed too

[MoreCowbell]

It is pretty crazy Dak first 7 games vs last 9. Just a totally different person and I have no clue what happened

[maroonmania]

Dak, that was terrible. :(

[R2Dawg]

Dak is about to be labeled a guy that can't win the big games. And it's hard to argue.

May be but it all on Dak. Penalties and his OL sucks. They wiff on more simple blocking.

[MoreCowbell]

This is sad. Hate it for Dak but he has been really bad. It is hard to defend him at this point

[Commercecomet24]

No Dak hasn't been the same since the calf injury.

[Percho]

This is sad. Hate it for Dak but he has been really bad. It is hard to defend him at this point

Well he is trying to overcome some holes his team puts him in with all the stupid penalties.

[KOdawg1]

Dak is getting no help AT ALL.

But he kinda sucks.

[Maroonthirteen]

Dak is about to be labeled a guy that can't win the big games. And it's hard to argue.

Dak is a good enough Qb to put a team on his back and beat average teams. He isn't good enough to put a team on his back and win a championship.

Unfortunately everyone will remember a few missed throws and his first pick in 4 games. But forget the penalties, sacks, no running game and lack of defense.

[msstate7]

Horrible throw by jimmy g. If dak made that throw, state fans would blame the wr haha

[parabrave]

It is pretty crazy Dak first 7 games vs last 9. Just a totally different person and I have no clue what happened

Injuring his calf. And he is still hurt. Plus with no run game they just go balls against the pass. Having the most undisciplined OLine doesn't help either

[Saltydog]

Guess the pundits were right. To his defense, his OL is very mediocre. I knew when I saw this matchup that Dallas was in trouble. So much for Kellen Moore as a h/c. His offense is shit.

[Commercecomet24]

Dak is a good enough Qb to put a team on his back and beat average teams. He isn't good enough to put a team on his back and win a championship.

Agreed but You left out poor coaching, too. McCarthy is terrible.

[Commercecomet24]

This team is horribly coached geez

[msstate7]

That's a big throw

[Quaoarsking]

So Kellen Moore or Dan Mullen for Cowboys HC next year?

[Bdawg]

The whole team is sucking. Head up their ass penalties and this OL is an overpaid piece of hot garbage. They good in game 1 and then it's over with injury and penalties. No team is good when you are behind the chains all day. This makes Dak look much worse than he is. Agree though, calf injury has set him back but he is far from the weakest link on this team.

Edit: forgot to mention coaching. It sucks too!

[msstate7]

So Kellen Moore or Dan Mullen for Cowboys HC next year?

If they make a change, they could do much better. Well, I'd hope they could

[Lord McBuckethead]

CeDe has done nothing for this team. Amari cannot catch the ball unless he is standing still, except for the TD Dak hit him with earlier.

Dak is playing a really poor game too. Just seems like the team cannot get into sync.

[Bdawg]

Dak has someone within arms reach of him every pass play

[Percho]

I have news for you people. If Dallas wins it will be because of Dak, if they lose it will not be because of Dak's poor play. He has to try to make up to much the team errors and that is when he makes mistakes.

[msstate7]

How do you blow big games, shannahan? By doing crap like that? Why aren't you defending the fake?

[RocketDawg]

Not sure what the Cowboys were doing there. Obvious delay of game.

[RocketDawg]

If they make a change, they could do much better. Well, I'd hope they could

Don't know - Dan might have some renewed coaching interest if he became Dallas HC.

[Bdawg]

Damn a FG?
Maybe with 12 + mins

[maroonmania]

That ref sucks. He stood over the ball a full 2 seconds after the SF defense was set and essentially made sure Dallas got the delay of game call. That ain't right.

[msstate7]

I have news for you people. If Dallas wins it will be because of Dak, if they lose it will not be because of Dak's poor play. He has to try to make up to much the team errors and that is when he makes mistakes.

Blaming dak for all their issues is as dumb as absolving dak of any blame

[Percho]

That ref sucks. He stood over the ball a full 2 seconds after the SF defense was set and essentially made sure Dallas got the delay of game call. That ain't right.

I agree

[MoreCowbell]

This is an absolutely sh*t show the Cowboys have put on tonight. From coaching to players this has been an embarrassment

[msstate7]

Don't know - Dan might have some renewed coaching interest if he became Dallas HC.

If Dan gets a shot in the nfl, it might work, but it might not. Playoff teams shouldn't take that risk. Bad teams can take that risk

[Percho]

Blaming dak for all their issues is as dumb as absolving dak of any blame

I understand and he missed a pass as I was posting that but IMHO this game is not on him.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Its time for Jerry to sell it

[basedog]

49ers just better everywhere than Dallas. Their defense was all up field on every snap.

Dallas needs a complete over haul from over paid players to Coaches.

[msstate7]

I understand and he missed a pass as I was posting that but IMHO this game is not on him.

Maybe not, but when you get a mega contract as a qb, you're expected to lift your team

[Quaoarsking]

Blaming dak for all their issues is as dumb as absolving dak of any blame

It's a Mississippi State message board. Every other QB in the NFL gets absolved from all blame by their college fanbases, and we need to do that for Dak too.

[Commercecomet24]

Absolutely a team effort on Dallas part today from head coach on down

[msstate7]

Jimmy G not ready to end the cowboys season

[RocketDawg]

Romo got pretty excited on the interception. I like him a lot better than Aiken.

[maroonmania]

Jimmy G not ready to end the cowboys season

Yep, Dallas D got the turnover they needed to give Dallas a chance.

[msstate7]

Romo got pretty excited on the interception. I like him a lot better than Aiken.

Romo is a great announcer, but has a horrible voice for it. If he had Chris Collinsworth's voice, he'd be an all time tv guy

[msstate7]

Atta boy, dak

[msstate7]

How are they not playing zone there BTW?

[parabrave]

There you go Dak. If fatass EE won't do it you get it done.

[Commercecomet24]

Romo is a great announcer, but has a horrible voice for it. If he had Chris Collinsworth's voice, he'd be an all time tv guy

He's one of the best analysts if not the best.

[Commercecomet24]

There you go Dak. If fatass EE won't do it you get it done.

Every touch by zeke is a wasted play.

[msstate7]

That fg looking like a good decision

[Maroonthirteen]

Come on defense! Big play here!

[maroonmania]

Need a stop from the Dallas D. Can't allow even a FG from SF.

[RougeDawg]

These penalties are just inexcusable

[maroonmania]

Why did the whole Dallas D back way of the LOS there with a 3rd and 4? Dallas coaching is really bad. I could have made the throw Jimmy G. got for the 1st down.

[msstate7]

Cowboys crowd helping out

[maroonmania]

These penalties are just inexcusable

But so routine for Dallas.

[msstate7]

Coulda been PI too

[maroonmania]

And as expected, Dallas will lose on a penalty.

[RocketDawg]

Great play by Vander Esch there.

[Commercecomet24]

49ers should've been called for a few holdings too.

[msstate7]

Well, dak is gonna get his shot

[maroonmania]

Well, appears Dak and Dallas will get their shot coming up.

[RocketDawg]

Can't complain about it being a dull game.

[msstate7]

85 yds

[maroonmania]

49ers should've been called for a few holdings too.

Dallas does seem to get called for things that I see other teams do and not get called. I really think a lot of the refs just don't like Jerry.

[RougeDawg]

49ers should've been called for a few holdings too.

Yea there were plenty of no calls. Just my observation but does a white glove holding on a red jersey look more obvious than a white glove on a white jersey? Might be why it has been so lopsided. Hard to see them holding Dallas players.

[RocketDawg]

Nice play. Romo going nuts.

[maroonmania]

Wow, huge play to Schultz.

[maroonmania]

Not a good time for a drop.

[Commercecomet24]

Yea there were plenty of no calls. Just my observation but does a white glove holding on a red jersey look more obvious than a white glove on a white jersey? Might be why it has been so lopsided. Hard to see them holding Dallas players.

Could be.

[RocketDawg]

Looked like Dak was past the line of scrimmage anyway.

[State82]

McCarthy needs to be fired before he gets to the locker room

[msstate7]

Really no excuse for cowboys offense on that drive. 49ers were without their best 2 def players

[MoreCowbell]

At some point these penalties have to be purposeful

[Quaoarsking]

You have to be shitting me

[maroonmania]

Penalties, penalties and more penalties. Did Gregory think the OL was actually the ball carrier

[Commercecomet24]

Penalties are absolutely ridiculous.

[Percho]

How many times do you think that def hold has been called this year against all teams and it has been called twice today against Dallas. Keeping a lineman from getting to the next level.

[RougeDawg]

Play stupid with stupid penalties you deserve to lose. Football and baseball in particular, reward smart and fundamentally sound teams. We got a prime example today.

[maroonmania]

Really no excuse for cowboys offense on that drive. 49ers were without their best 2 def players

Wilson absolutely could have caught that ball. Would have been a great catch but he had both hands on it.

[maroonmania]

How many times do you think that def hold has been called this year against all teams and it has been called twice today against Dallas. Keeping a lineman from getting to the next level.

I've watched NFL all year and not sure I've seen it called but been called twice today.

[Commercecomet24]

How many times do you think that def hold has been called this year against all teams and it has been called twice today against Dallas. Keeping a lineman from getting to the next level.

It happens on just about every play and no call. Dallas has 2 today lol

[Commercecomet24]

Play stupid with stupid penalties you deserve to lose. Football and baseball in particular, reward smart and fundamentally sound teams. We got a prime example today.

100% right

[Quaoarsking]

There's just no way McCarthy can keep his job after this, is there?

[Commercecomet24]

There's just no way McCarthy can keep his job after this, is there?

I would hope they'd let him go but they won't. They'll never win anything with McCarthy and with Jerry running the show

[maroonmania]

So you're saying there's a chance.....

[RocketDawg]

Shouldn't the clock have been reset to 1:04 after the false start? It ran down to 40.

[msstate7]

Cowboys dumb lol

[Quaoarsking]

WTF did I just watch?

[RocketDawg]

I don't understand the Dak running play. There just wasn't enough time.

[maroonmania]

Dak just royally screwed up. Just not enough time for that. He had time for 2 shots to the end zone and got none.

[defiantdog]

What the **** call was that?!

[maroonmania]

An extra 10 yards closer wasn't worth that much anyway. Just total stupidity. Is it THAT much easier to throw a 30 yard TD than a 40 yard TD

[maroonmania]

One of the dumbest calls I've ever seen in a playoff game. Dak or whoever called that run blew it.

[Commercecomet24]

Well that was ugly

[BeardoMSU]

Dak just royally screwed up. Just not enough time for that. He had time for 2 shots to the end zone and got none.

That wasn't Dak, lol. That was the called play.

[CadaverDawg]

I'm still sitting here with a wtf look on my face. I hope Kellen Moore is hired by someone tomorrow. What a joke. Dak should have vetoed that awful bullshit of a call

[maroonmania]

That wasn't Dak, lol. That was the called play.

If Dak didn't call his own number in that situation he should have told someone they were an idiot and thrown the ball into the endzone. As stated, they had time to make 2 throws into the endzone (if the first fell incomplete). Gaining that extra 10 yards was pretty much worthless.

[Turfdawg67]

I love him, but Check Down Charlie for 3 quarters did him in... thought I was watching MSU/Bama again.

[BeardoMSU]

I'm still sitting here with a wtf look on my face. I hope Kellen Moore is hired by someone tomorrow. What a joke. Dak should have vetoed that awful bullshit of a call

That "explosive" and "creative" play calling, lol. Coaching staff is horrid. All the penalties is also symptomatic of shit coaches.

[Commercecomet24]

That "explosive" and "creative" play calling, lol. Coaching staff is horrid. All the penalties is also symptomatic of shit coaches.

Absolutely 100% accurate!

[Turfdawg67]

That "explosive" and "creative" play calling, lol. Coaching staff is horrid. All the penalties is also symptomatic of shit coaches.

McCarthy = Shit Coaching. Rodgers was right.

[BeardoMSU]

I love him, but Check Down Charlie for 3 quarters did him in... thought I was watching MSU/Bama again.

In that point in the game, players rely on their coaches to clock manage and call the right play. Only 2 QBs in the entire league would veto in that moment (Brady, Rogers....and maybe Mahomes). Coaches are paid to coach, and this staff has sucked balls in all sorts of ways.

[Commercecomet24]

McCarthy = Shit Coaching. Rodgers was right.

Yeah I questioned Rodgers but he was right. McCarthy is horrible

[msstate7]

The play call was dumb, but romo is right... dak has to know to get that ball to the ref. Romo knew that, and dak has to too.

[IMissJack]

Fire McCarthy. 14 penalties today, most penalized OL in league, and that stupid call at end of game.

[Commercecomet24]

The play call was dumb, but romo is right... dak has to know to get that ball to the ref. Romo knew that, and dak has to too.

I just want to know why the ref was so far behind the play. He never made a move until after the play was dead he had to come from about 30 yards behind the play. It was dumb play by cowboys but the ref wasn't in position like he should've been. It was desperation anyway. Cowboys from top down played like garbage

[Turfdawg67]

In that point in the game, players rely on their coaches to clock manage and call the right play. Only 2 QBs in the entire league would veto in that moment (Brady, Rogers....and maybe Mahomes). Coaches are paid to coach, and this staff has sucked balls in all sorts of ways.

Not questioning that my friend, reread my comment, my frustration was the first 3 quarters and the 16 three yard passes... They aren't running the Leach Air Raid.

[Coach34]

Umpire was at fault for being late
Dak was at fault for getting greedy. As Romo said- get 10 yards and get down. \

Undisciplined football gets you beat every time. 14 penalties? You are supposed to lose.

[CaptainObvious]

Wow! Now I remember why I hated the Cowboys until Dak got there. And now I remember why I hate the NFL no matter how many MSU former players are in the league.

That was the worst last 2 drives by a Division Champion against a 6 seed I have ever witnessed in my 60 plus years of watching football. I don?t care who the cowboy ?fans? blame for this loss, every player on that team made some really dumbass plays including the QB!

[msstate7]

The reason one was a division champ and the other was the 6-seed is bc one is in a horrible division and the other was in a great division

[maroonmania]

The play call was dumb, but romo is right... dak has to know to get that ball to the ref. Romo knew that, and dak has to too.

Even if the ref had gotten the ball first there MIGHT have been one second left for one additional play. The extra 10 yards just in no way was worth the risk of the clock running out. Also, even if they preserved the one second the Cowboys were only going to get one throw into the end zone from the 30. If they had just thrown it to the end zone from the 40 they would have gotten 2 chances.

[msstate7]

I agree, play call was dumb. I do wonder if romo is right and the call was for dak to just get 10 yards and clock it

Was the same idiot ref that stood over the ball an extra 2 needless seconds to force Dallas into a delay of game after their successful fake punt.

I love him, but Check Down Charlie for 3 quarters did him in... thought I was watching MSU/Bama again.

When your QB doesn't have much time in the pocket, not much else you can do. Then that problem is compounded by the fact that they were behind the chains all day with stupid penalties.

[Coach34]

Play call was actually very smart- the execution was not.

You have a better chance of making a throw into the end zone from the 30 than you do the 40.

[maroonmania]

I agree, play call was dumb. I do wonder if romo is right and the call was for dak to just get 10 yards and clock it

Haven't rewatched the play but didn't he go less than 15?

[msstate7]

17 yds

[BuckyIsAB****]

McCarthy has been in the two biggest spots in the league and has pissed it away. Jerry and him need to ride off together

Still think having 2 shots from the 40 is a higher probability than only one from the 30.

[State82]

That "explosive" and "creative" play calling, lol. Coaching staff is horrid. All the penalties is also symptomatic of shit coaches.

disagree. But we'll never know

[msugolf]

Cowboys wont ever be worth anything until Jerry is gone. He is diseased?the die-a-beetus of the Boys

[Turfdawg67]

Umpire was at fault for being late
Dak was at fault for getting greedy. As Romo said- get 10 yards and get down. \

Undisciplined football gets you beat every time. 14 penalties? You are supposed to lose.

You're depending on the ump with a 3-4 second differential with no timeouts? Dumb play, period. But Jerrah will probably give McCarthy and Kellen a raise.

He had plenty of time. Main target covered, check down. Something he barely did his first few years.

I’m betting McCarty will be fired tomorrow.

Maybe, but they kept Jason Garrett way too long so you never no.

[Cooterpoot]

Dallas had possibly 3 plays, but certainly two and you run a draw with no timeouts. That was stupid as hell! Could've thrown a pass to the middle of the field and stood a better chance. McCarthy is a shitty coach. Just like stupid punt bullshit.

[Matt3467]

Anyone gonna mention the 12 carries for 31 yards from the 3rd highest paid rb in the league? Never thought it'd be this painful watching a 12 win team this year.

[basedog]

Offensive line play was awful.

I think no one is commenting on that because that's a given... total waste of money. You could draft a new RB every year and get his production.

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah it limited anything they could do on offense. Couldn't run block and couldn't pass block long enough for anything downfield. Only left quick throws or screens and all the dang holding penalties. Smh

[Commercecomet24]

It's why Bill Belichik has never paid rbs. He lets em go when they become to high priced and replaces them with another who produces same numbers.

Even with Dak going 17 yards- he slid at 8 seconds left. Should have been fine there. Sliding at 10 would have been an easy kill

[Coach34]

SF changed the D and was going to guard the sidelines. Thats why they called the timeout. Dallas wasnt getting another easy pass to the sideline. So no- they didnt have 3 more plays.

Yeah the ref was late and he never made a move until after the play was already dead and had to come from about 30 yards. Just another official being out of position. Still would've been a desperation play if they got one more but would've had at least a shot at it.

The refs for the Bengals/Raiders game have been suspended so they might look at this game too?

[DawgFan85]

McCarthy is a bum, it was a bad hire from the get go. Jerry wanted a "yes" man and that's what he got!

[parabrave]

And wait till he hires Kellen Moore as the HC so he can run the 1964 Arkansas Offense.

A 'yes' man is all Jones will ever hire. You can eliminate all other potential candidates. The fact that Jimmy Johnson was not a 'yes' man was the whole reason they couldn't coexist.
