Even the announcers were questioning the calls though. Our team should be able to play in all weather if we are planning to go deep into the playoffs.
yes I know, but it depends on who that was, aikman is often wrong in what he says.
plus they are not refs, and down on the field.
I dont think either call was challenged were they? If JG had maybe they get overturned. I think pierra agreed with one, and not the other, so maybe one
gets overturned.
Refs are down on the field, and see everything in high speed up close, which is very different from what we or announcers see.
I have that game I might watch it again, just to see how that affected things.
Do you have the game or are u just using memory of it??

I don't think tripping can be challenged

Also, I am going from memory, but even then I was saying it was a horrific call

Well I am watching the game again and the first one our guy raised his leg, and as the DL came by him he fell down, so to refs it looked like a trip.
It should have been challenged if those can be.
Same thing if a OL has legal hold of DL and the DL goes down they blame it on the OL and call a hold, which is sort of a hold/tackle call.
They are often wrong on those.
The first call made it 2nd and 23 early in the game and dallas was around their own 30, so that wasnt really a game changer.
They didnt get the first down, and when punting the punt was blocked lol, and to me that was the biggest play in the game . that led to NE only TD.
Short while later dak throws late to wr and it is int , and that led to NE fg, so all 10 NE points in 1st half was off turnovers.
The one time dallas drives deep down to NE 10 , they had 2nd and 6 and threw 2 passes both inc then kicked 2nd fg, and that was a key
also, should have got a td there and since it was pouring rain, they should have run elliot 3 times and I am pretty sure he gets 6 yds lol and a first down.

Tripping is not challengeable. I would imagine even Jason Garrett would challenge that if he could have. The second one was particularly bad as I recall. A big Patriots fan that I know acknowledged that it was a terrible call.

With a QB like Mahomes, I'm not surprised that KC scored better from the red zone than us, they won the Super Bowl, and they didn't win it by not being able to score from the red zone. Nobody I know of is trying to put Dak in the same class with Patrick Mahomes, (with the possible exception of Dak's agent) so comparing their red zone scoring percentage would seem rather pointless.
In fact I was not at all happy with our scoring percentage from the red zone last year, and now that we have a real HC, I expect to see Mike McCarthy correct that issue this year.

The redzone is where the 2nd highest paid RB is supposed to make his living. Which he doesn't.

Then we all know about how horrid the coaching was down there with Garrett's influence. And certainly Dak is no Mahomes.

They want a prove it year out of him ... but you have to see that Andy is a different back up than Rush .. the cowboys didn’t just sign Andy t
He has performed way above his predecessor thus far and Gil Brandt was absolutely correct in his top 4 assessment of Dak Prescott on the All Time Cowboys QB list.

no he has not performed way above Romo . Both have good stats behind elite OL/WR . Dak probably has better RB play . But no significant playoff wins .
In fact romo had probably more games where he lead the team back and clinched wins . in Dak’s case , it is mostly garbage time yards and no comeback I can recall when the running game stalls and the team needs him .
Dak is a tier 2 QB , and that is not my opinion alone . Players and experts rank him between 10-15 .[/QUOTE]
prove it year? not sure how you came to that conclusion when they were offering him a 5 year contract!!!! geez people, you can't make up stuff to fit your argument of the moment.

Outside of two philadelphia games in the past 4 years and the seattle game I do not recall many times he had the ball in his hands at the end and the outcome was good.

I will also say he did throw a touchdown to witten in the jets game last year that was overturned by a terrible offensive pass interference call. That is one of the field goals on this list I think.

I cant shake that vikings game though at the end. He had cobb one on one inside on the right wide open and probably scores and wins the game and he threw it into the ground towards zeke. It was just terrible.
you can't recall or you just too lazy and agenda driven to do your research? perception is not reality

Their other TD drives.

90 yards 8 plays.
85 yards 7 plays.
77 yards 6 plays.
72 yards 4 plays.

The answer to that question is definitely.


Look at your post itself. Not a single combination of 2 drives is less than 8 plays. Let alone scoring 3 TD’s in 8 plays if having to drive the ball 70+ yards.

Look at the lowest 3. Took 17 plays. That’s over twice the amount of plays.

They may well have still scored those last 3 Td’s. But there’s no way they do it so quickly without having incredible field position.


Mahomes is without a doubt the best QB in the league right now.

But even he needed his defense and special teams to help him in the playoffs. Or else Kc would have lost multiple games. Not just against Houston but against SF as well.

Even the best QB in the league needs other Parts of the team to step up. He needs less help than others. But still needs the help.

The response that you quoted was about a team being able to go 75 yards in 8 plays.

I showed that KC had not only the 3 TDs in 8 plays, but also that they had FOUR other touchdown drives that game of at least 70 yards in 8 plays or less.

KC could do both, score fast because of field position or drive it the length of the field if necessary.

A lot is made about the Dallas field position in 2019. But Dallas could move the ball, the problem they had was finishing.

Of course a team can go 75 yards in 8 plays. The other poster was saying you can’t go 75 yards, 3 times in 8 plays.


Football teams go 75 yards in 8 plays all the time. They don’t do it 3 times in a row very often.

The conversation was about moving the ball down field. He said it would have helped if the Dallas defense had given the offense more short fields. Which I agree. He just used the wrong game as an example as KC was able to do both.

Dallas led the league in yards because they beat up on bad teams and move the ball between the 20s. They just failed to finish too many times.

Louis Riddick had a stat that in four games against playoff teams Dallas had 9 drives to tie or take the lead in the 4th qt and all they got were TWO FGs for 6 points. A possible maximum of 63 points or a possible minimum of 27 points and all they get is SIX!

That was the Dallas offense in a nutshell for 2019.

I gotta go with this for at least two full seasons before abandoning the thought of it NOT being the ultimate 800 lb Gorilla for this team.

The offense was average in redzone % but was tied for 3rd with 3 offensive tds per game. And 4th in the league in points per drive. Cowboys were 2nd in yards per drive. 30th in starting field position.

When you are down by 3 tds in the playoffs time is the enemy as well as the other team. You have to consider the time it might take to have 3 drives of 75+ yards and 8 plays. And the likelihood of negative plays goes way up. If you don't think those 3 short fields that gave them 3 quick tds and tied the game back up doesn't give the team 1 momentum and 2 a more relaxed play in terms of play calls by the staff you are delusional.

actually Romo lived in an apartment for a long time and The people at the facility in valley ranch used to make him go home. David Lee did a few interviews way back when and said Romo would be there all day and throw the damn ball all day working on technique.

Same thing in the film room, Marc Columbo used to tell stories about Romo living in there. Laurent Robinson and Brice Butler talked about how when they got here Romo was basically the offensive coordinator and he taught them the offense.

but I already know the response so don't bother. I really enjoy the way people just create stuff out of thin air here.

Why does it have to be Romo or Dak? I think we are/were lucky to have both. Both were steals, and continue(d) to get better every year. I think both have the right attitude and are hard workers. If Romo's body had held up, he probably would have had his chance. Both frustrate me though in that they both walked into pretty good teams to begin their careers in good situations to win it all and couldn't get there. You can only field talent for so long before it's time to rebuild. Dak is going to miss this o-line and running back as it starts aging and retiring. Have to grab it and win it all when you get the chance.
