Final pass play

[Biggems]

I wanted us to pass the ball, but I didn't like the playcall or formation. I would have had Murray in the backfield, and use him in play action. Fake the handoff and allow Murray to block, while Romo throws a quick slant to Dez.

 

[DandyDon1722]

Exactly.

 

[Eddie]

I thnk second guessing always leads to TD's !!!

Final pass play

ill conceived, at least make the clock run

 

[dstovall5]

Dez was open, just Romo missed him on a throw he makes 9/10 times.

I didn't care for the 2nd down play, a dive by Murray straight into the line. After gaining 7 yards on 1st down we really blew the chance to end the game on the next 2 plays.

 

[btcutter]

I rather us just run the ball on that down. Good run teams will run regardless of your front. If we believe that our OL is good then we need to run more on 3rd downs. Stop with the gimmick delay draws. Murray isn't the ideal back as he doesn't accelerate quickly.

 

[goshan]

Pass was the right call.

 

[Derinyar]

I think the play was a good call. It worked. The oline got beat and a guy got his arm into the pass. If it hadn't I'm pretty sure that's a first down and the ball game.

Dez was open, just Romo missed him on a throw he makes 9/10 times.

It was targeted at Dunbar I thought. Wasn't to Bryant.

I'd like to see Parnell next to Free more and TE help on that right side...

I was screaming "Why go empty backfield on 3rd and 3?!" Stupid call. Romo certainly could've made a better pass but his big concern there is to not get picked and he threw it wide. Hate the play call there. Why not single back? Just completely takes away the threat of a run.

Pass was the right call.

the right call was the one that would have resulted in a 1st down.

It was targeted at Dunbar I thought. Wasn't to Bryant.

Might be talking about a different one then? I could've swore it was a sideline pass to Dez on the left.

 

[SDCowboy]

The call was fine. It was a good play by the defensive player to make Romo change where he put the ball.

 

[Ren]

Pass was the right call.

I agree but the empty backfield let the D know without a doubt it was coming. Had Murray been in the backfield they would have had to play the run so we made it easier for them going empty

 

[AmericanCowboy]

It wsa the right decision to pass- for once, the clock worked in our favor because the punt took us to the 2 minute warning- essentially not giving the rams an extra timeout.

I just hated the empty back set. The threat of a run should still be there

This. You take your best weapon out to fool who? I thought we should have done that misdirection flip sweep right there.

 

[Picksix]

Dunbar was wide open for an easy first down. Romo just missed him.

 

[Zman5]

I hate empty backfield shotgun on short yardages.
