Is anybody else tired of seeing this half *** crock of a play at the end off the game? We have had this situation about a dozen times it seems in the last three years and it never works, it will never work, and at this level of football it should never work.

Get your guys down the field and throw up a jump ball and see if we can get lucky, I guarantee it is a higher percentage play than to lateral all the way down the field. If Romo doesn't have the arm to get it down there then have a longest ball competition right now and tell the winner to be ready cause this keeps happening.

I'm sick of it too. We had 2 timeouts left. We just needed to get into field goal range. So 1 pass down to their 35 yard line was do able.

Dez has the biggest arm on the team, so I don't think that long ball theory would work lol

We don't manage these situations well. I wish I could turn back the clock and fix it.

How much time was left? I remember looking at the distance and thinking there was no way we could have got in field goal range and still had time on the clock.

What we should have done was throw a 10-15 yard pass, take a timeout, and throw one up to the endzone.

The chances of that are far greater than the crap they always try to pull. Who knows, maybe Dez comes down with the jump ball. He did it last year against the giants, except for his hand landed out of bounds.

My favorite is the Cowboy running to the sideline trying to stop the clock on the kickoff return. This team is so poorly coached. They have zero situational awareness. Hatcher letting Stafford jump over him on the fake spike. Just a dumb team, lol.

it should have been 12 but bosworth decided to use his 5 second 40 speed to run to the sideline with the kick off instead of falling on it. Either way get the ball down field and take a shot.

I didn't understand that either. Beasley caught it with 4 seconds left on the clock. Plenty of time to go down, take a timeout and try one last heave. Not sure why we went for the hook and lateral so quickly.

I bet Ogletree was looking across the field laughing saying "So I wasn't the only one stupid "
