Would have been nice, but I am sad the 3 DL go to Dak with 5 OL protecting him.

Also it looks like perfect time to do a hard count, get defense encroachment and get a free play like Aaron Rodgers

Surprised Dak even threw it instead of running out of bounds especially knowing there was another down left. Heat of the moment I guess.

No one else has mentioned this but doesn't the defensive player stick his leg out in an attempt to trip Dak here? Isn't that a penalty? Would've been nice to have one more shot at the end zone.


another missed penalty maybe

but regaining his feet was great throwing a desperate off target pass wasn't necessary could have ran throw it away threw it further left etc ..live for one more play..that was third down wasnt it? no need to end the game on a INT..our wrs were all closer to the out of bounds to the left of Dak he heaved it middle right,,it had no chance,,thats the issue,

great balance and recovery bad decsions to throw it where he did..if that was 4th down final play i would fully understand,..

we arent haters or low hanging fruit for pointing that out..

He could've thrown it away but maybe he thought time had run out.

Kind of what I was thinking is that when he made the decision he thought its either now or I force it in on 4th and they will be camping in the endzone. I dont know. It obviously wasn't a good throw or decision. I believe we were out of time outs as well, so a shorter pass would've probably ran out the clock.

That sure looks like a trip to me. Should've been a call, but there were a lot of missed calls. Better defence would've avoided that problem. Especially when we took the lead the drive before this one with a FG. If we had a defence that could stop a nosebleed, Dak wouldn't have had to lead us down the field that drive. He did his job the drive before. The defence failed.
