Can we talk about the bad spot before the second pick?

[rkell87]

Beasley was clearly across the first down marker when he stepped out but they give us second and 1. Play calling on 1st and 10 is vastly different than 2nd and 1 and the next pass was designed to get a first down and get out of bounds. If the refs get the spot right, we may not have won, but we probably are talking more about where the blame should go (the defense) and not more of this Romo anti clutch stuff.

He was out a yard short because he didn't reach the ball out.

I have seen that called a first down more than a few times.

We get bad spots all the time. Under two minutes its a booth review, which is why the replay rules suck.

watch it again, unless your saying the ref called him short because he was given that option by not reaching the ball out?

so do I but it didn't jump out at me like the Witten screw job of 1996

can you review a spot on 2nd down? I don't know when the review of a spot can occur.

Witten might have still been playing pee wee in 1996. But yeah, I get your point.

Was it necessary to be that pedantic?

I think you can always review the spot, particularly if its an issue of whether or not the runner achieved the line to gain.

You talking to me? If so, ask yourself the same question.

that might be, I just don't know the answer

Do you guys ever get tired of blaming everyone BUT the Cowboys? He was marked short because HE WAS SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN!!!!!!
