Game came down to two plays

[Runwildboys]

While we are reversing plays, if Dak hit Brown with an accurate throw on the first play, TD!

No no NO! This only works one way!

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

1. The diggs interception. Thankfully they didn’t overturn. To be honest didn’t look like an interception to me.

2. The goal line fumble by Detroit. Plus the great stop by parsons on the hustle play to stop them at the 1.


If either of those plays have different results and I think we lose the game.

horrible game but we still found a way to win.

I don't know if we lose the game, but agreed we got lucky.

Watch replays

I did. Many times. Ball never hit the ground.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

1. Diggs caught it. I just watched the game again and while the ball did move there was no definitive angle that showed it hitting the ground. I thought his hand was under the ball the whole time.

2. The Lions fumble canceled out Brown's second quarter fumble at the Lions 4 yard line. Dallas scores 31 points today if that doesn't happen, something the gloom and doom crowd is forgetting.

 

[Big D]

The stop at the goal line was the play of the game IMO. We're not the most dominant run stopping defense but I'll take the effort. Micah is a beast but I fear we're burning him out at de. We need to use him at lb a bit to just to help preserve him.

How about Noah Browns fumble at the 3 yard line?

The Diggs INT was a punt at best in terms of game - the Brown fumble wiped 7 off the board.

Rock, I'm almost done arguing with people on this board.

Wow…..was pretty obvious to me.

That role out pass to Pollard after the fumble. Play seemed to demoralize the Lions defense after that!

most games come down to 5 or fewer plays

 

[Booger]

You have to include the play prior to the goal line fumble. Detroit scored a touchdown, but the refs blew the call, and Detroit didn't challenge it.
The refs helped the Cowboys a great deal, and it certainly made a difference. Kinda suspicious, to be honest.
And yes; I think the Cowboys would have lost, otherwise.

Lee, Lee, Lee. SMH. You of all fans whose team has had the refs in their back pocket for years should know.

But you don't.

or Brown doesn't fumble at the 3

What about the Brown fumble? I would say the goal line fumble by Detroit kind of offset that one. For the Digg's interception I'm not sure if it was or not. I couldn't necessarily see if the ball hit the ground. The replay showed the ball pop like it could have hit the ground but between the shadow and where Diggs hands were couldn't tell definitively. I would venture to guess however it was ruled on the field is likely how it would stay.

yesh and I think they said dan could not challenge that as it was a scoring play, but since it wasnt ruled a score, he should have been able to.
at very least it was at the 1ft line not 1 yard.
Also the ref closest started to raise his arms for td but another ref farther away was saying no lol, much like the one in our game last week.

The 2 holding calls on det were suspect. I got the feeling NY wanted dallas to win this one. There were other plays I cant remember now.

The fumble at the one was a killer for det, you just cant do that.

I’ll be objective and say if those two plays happened to the Cowboys I’d be losing my mind, because that wasn’t an interception and IMO the Lions scored on that previous play before the fumble. Very grateful neither was challenged, but this game might’ve had a different flavor if those had been called correctly.

Not saying we would’ve lost, just would’ve had a much higher pucker factor

The teams traded goal-line fumbles, not sure why you want to take one away but not the other.

It was an 18-point victory, it takes more than two plays to change that.

 

[Typhus]

Me too. I don't know what Romo and Nantz were babbling about.

Just be glad it wasn't Collinsworth.

Uh, no.

Please.

That ball should've been caught. No, I'm not a Dak defender and it wasn't the greatest throw ever, but it should've been caught.

 

[kskboys]

The same could be said about Noah's fumble at the 5.

Just part of the game.

All that matters is the final score.

Unless your goal is to win super bowls, then everything matters.
