I know It's a stretch, but Dak may have made 4 mental mistakes on our final play:

1. Not checking out of a dumb play call
2. Not handing the ball to the refs to be properly spotted.
3. Barricading the ref from properly spotting the ball.
4. The final play may have been snapped before time expired with time running out during the clocking of the ball. He could have tried to execute a non-spike play instead.

For the life of me I can't remember anything even close to 4 mental gaffs in a single play.

1 would never happen. We just came out of a timeout where the play was called and the players prepped. No QB is changing that unless he walks up and sees the DL clogging the middle….not an error.

2 definitely on Dak. While the correct ref didn’t keep up with the play and was running from way back in the replay, he should have given it to the nearest guy.

3 nope….it was the center that the ref bumped into, but likely wouldn’t happen had he done 2 correctly.

4 nope…..time expired, and he was executing the play as called beforehand. If he had time and didn’t spike it, he would have been standing there with all his teammates looking at him wondering what the hell he was doing….no one was prepped to run a play at that time.

1. Agreed
2. There is no rule about handing the ball to the official, and even if there was , the official you hand it to was nowhere to be found until about 03 was left
3. They were lining up to run the play legally with the clock running and the Umpire was too far behind the play
4.Agreed but they had a plan in mind clearly, that revolved around spiking the ball, otherwise you go back to 1

There is no ref to give it to there - The Umpire was 30 yards behind the play The four side-line judges were on the sidelines oddly enough while the Back Judge was down by or in the End Zone also almost 30 yeards away.. Besides as I have said earlier and multiple videos posted here have shoiwn, players can spot that ball, and the Umpire is satisfied he simply taps the ball. have shown. Or is that just for certain teams or certain quarterbacks?

Why doesn’t anyone understand this?
could have got a defensive penalty and the another play with no time on the clock, it's happened before , they call that an un-timed down i believe

Dak ran it like they practiced it. I doubt they practice a ref having to run 30 yards before the next snap. Belichick would have practiced it with a ref. Excellence is in the details.

lol some of u guys and logic don’t go together well

there was maybe two mental errors - not sliding earlier and not giving the ball to ref

he wasn’t going to change out of the freaking play - that is what they planned to do, it was called, the defense didn’t show an unexpected look and they practice it all the time

why couldn't the head coach walk over to the ump and give him a heads up that he needs to be marking the ball, they do it all the time with time outs.
Sure. We still don’t get a td.

What’s the difference in a 35 yard pass and a 25 yard pass?
