And go figure Sanders goes 5-5 this game too. He's been his usual inconsistent *** for years now up until this game.
Wanted him cut after a few shanks earlier this year.

So we're saying 1 play in each game is what caused the team to lose? Just 1 play? So I guess what they did or didn't do the other 59:55 didn't matter.
The whole game matters, and we didn’t do much in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. When that happens then yes, 1 or 2 plays make a difference.

Pollard not breaking plane of end zone, and FB fumble giving ball back to Miami...

And he sets a career long 57 yarder. Seems like kickers hardly ever miss. I follow ESPN NFL scores along with watching the game live.

That feed is one play ahead of the TV broadcast. Was waiting for commercial to end, and looked at the feed and it showed final Dallas 20-19 Final.

I thought wow, he missed the FG , only to see the live feed come on and see the winning kick.... When it comes to todays cowboys, nothing is for certain....

Fan since the 60’s so have seen it all........ but this new technology added a new wrinkle

I did the same thing. I was watching the game on Hulu and on ESPN app. Turned game off when Miami got the ball within range. Guaranteed win for them then ESPN app said Cowboys defeat Miami I turn game back on just in time to see the losing kick.Dang ESPN!!

I'm on the fence with this one. I would really like to hear someone on the team say exactly what this play was supposed to do. Did the FB totally screw up thinking the play was a fake? Did the QB screw up and try to hand the ball off when it was supposed to be a fake?

We'll never hear the answer to this, but to be honest, it shouldn't matter. It was the first drive of the game. They had the whole rest of the game to make up for the blunder and failed.

Actually, what they should have done is just let them score.. then give the offense time to make a run at it in the 2 min offense.

JMO.

And many will disagree. But they just ran clock, and kicked the FG for the win.
Cooks had two spectacular catches.. I was very impressed. Also, Jalen Tolbert grabbing that pass that Dak underthrew... great grab!
I called for it early on. We all saw it coming. Once they got in field goal range we were done.

You can count just at least 3-5 plays this year that the boys were an inch short on and if they literally got that extra inch, you could easily say they would be the division winner and the possible 1 seed. Of course the philly loss comes to mind and then this past sunday.
