It looked like he wanted to know the official call, and wasn't trying to call a TO. It wouldn't surprise me though if he was.

He was asking, what the call was. The Garrett haters around here are both pathetic and funny at the same time. Even when we win its pile on Garrett :)

I didn't see the game. Just got power after the big ice-storm.

That is hilarious.

Oh, so he's not saying timeout in this video? https://vine.co/v/hE6nX3d3hw6

He may have, but he stopped himself and then asked for the call. If you have ever coached anything in your life you can identify with that. If you haven't then you can't. Sometimes the brain kicks in initially and says "timeout", then you catch yourself and say, "let's let this thing run." If Tony caught it first, good for him, and what is the big deal? Was the timeout called? No. Did this team show the resilience and fight that EVERY one of you Garrett haters said was gone? Yep. Proving you wrong once again. You guys said the team would lay down. They didn't. They fought to the last play, and OH NO, they won! Your worst nightmare.

And you know what? If they win next week, they are in the playoffs. Go Cowboys!

LMAO! Stopped reading after the bolded part.

He stopped himself, or Romo interjected and made the right decision to not call timeout?

Watch the video and be honest with yourself.

I have zero problem being honest with myself. If Tony stopped him he did. If Garrett stopped himself he did. I say again, it doesn't matter an ounce. If Tony was ahead of Garrett on that one, then great! But to my eyes it seems that Garrett is more focused on the official than Romo at the moment. He said, "wait a second." He is moving away from Romo. But I'll say again, if you want to see the pathetic nature of this, we just had a HUGE win for our season and you guys are acting like it is the Zapruder film and the grassy knoll. Just pathetic. How about looking forward to next week's game? Are you hoping we win DoubleWing? Can you be honest?

Look, this isn't whatever Pop Warner team sponsored by the local bail bondsman that you used to coach back in the day. This is the Dallas Cowboys, and Jason Garrett is paid millions to make the right decisions in these situations. This was yet another situation where he made a bone-headed decision, and his ELITE quarterback bailed him out again (both on the sideline and on the field).

He's clearly trying to call a timeout. I don't see what the big deal is, though. That was a critical point in the game, and it sure looked like the Commander had taken off his helmet in real time. That's the kind of thing you'd want him to do. It's also no surprise that Tony either had a better view of the incident or heard the officials discussing why it wasn't a penalty given that he was actually on the field. This is more-ado about nothing in my book.

Yea, you didn't answer my question did you. Are you looking forward to next week's game and HOPING WE WIN? Tell the truth now.

If it doesn't matter then why not be honest about it? Why stop trying to create something that isn't there? Garrett didn't "stop himself". He made a stupid decision, a rookie coaching mistake, and his QB had to bail him out and fix it. Focused on the official? No, in fact, he is looking in the complete opposite direction while walking toward Romo and the official before he turns and calls timeout.

Yes, I hope we win next week. But that's not what this thread is about. As much as you want to take the spotlight of Garrett's inept coaching, we aren't going to.
