Brutal Dak Prescott referee gaffe ends Cowboys-49ers playoff battle

what's the rule on a backward pass from Prescott in the field of play out of bounds?

would that kill the clock immediately without the ball having to be spotted?

just asking?

 

Exactly.

We’ve been here too many times with this offense and they make too much money just to watch them stall out and stall out over and over and over.

 

I'm sure that was a mojo moment in camp.

 

No.

 

what's the rule?

a 10 second run off?

If a backward pass goes out of bounds between the goal lines, the ball is dead (7-6-2-a), and it is next put in play at the inbounds spot.

found it

A ball carrier may hand or pass the ball backward at any time, except to throw the ball intentionally out of bounds to conserve time.

 

I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you saying after the QB draw they got set and he threw it out of bounds before the refs spotted the ball? Then no.

 

The play call was stupid
The execution was bad
But the biggest thing that killed us all day was penalties
You can’t set the all time record for penalties and win football games

 

That play encapsulates the Cowboys last 26 years...

 

Thanks for posting. Makes it really clear.

 

14 penalties. Fourteen.

 

keep bringing up the excuses guys!
3 and out here, another 3 and out there!

THE VERY 1ST drive of our pathetic and shy offense marked the way of the game.
SHAME ON YOU FOOLS, yes ALL OF YOU FOOLS in here who call yourselves "fans" and trash us who see things for what they are.
THIS TEAM HAS BEEN A MEDIOCRE ORGANIZATION FOR 26 years now.

Now the ONLY change that remains to be done is GM and ownership. And that for the foreseeable future will not change

 

That would be delay of game

 

it wasn't that gaffe....everyone is acting as if he had 2 second and would make a throw it would result in a TD...it would be a chance. and niners who effectively had shut us down, would have dropped or 9 into coverage....

that game was over way before that gaffe
