Garrett's 2 point conversion playcall

[Catch-22]

Anyone else think it was terrible?

A great creator at the QB position and you limit him to one option by calling a fade to a WR with the dropsies?

The Fade works more often than not. That is why most teams use the fade on 2 pt conversions. You either get it or you have a very good chance of interference.

WHICH WE HAD ON THAT ONE TO OWENS

The Zebra refused to put his glasses on prior to the play tho.

We lose the 2pt conversion.

don't agree with the call, but as it turned out it was about the best call we could have made. Romo had no time at all to wait on another type of route. As soon as he got the snap he had a blitzer right on him.

What's almost as bad as the no call, is the no comment from the BSPN idiots.....Not even a suggestion it might have been interference

 

[SkinsandTerps]

The playcall wasn't bad.

I think taking advantage of Fasano in those situations wouldn't be the worst idea ever though.

I muted my tv halfway through the 4th quarter... couldn't listen to it anymore.

I can't stand the call. The fade requires too much touch for my liking to go along with a good catch. Unless your P.Manning & Wayne/Harrison, I don't like the call.

 

[eduncan22]

Looked like pass int to me...the defender had his back to the ball..never even looked for it.

I was 17 rows away from the play.

That wasn't his only option. Witten was running an underneath route on the play as well. Unfortunately the rush came too quickly, leaving Tony only able to throw it up there and hope for the best.

The call was brilliant. TO is the most physical receiver in the NFL and covering him one on one on a fade route is very hard to do. The defender played perfect defense on that. I'll take my chances with TO one on one with a jump ball in the end zone 9/10 times.

Fasano??

Personally, when I'm down to one play like that (a two-point conversion, fourth-and-goal or whatever), I want the QB to have as many options as possible. I'd rather roll him out one way or the other (giving him a possible scramble) and have at least two receivers from which he can choose.

Still, Owens vs. Greer 1-on-1 isn't a bad option. Had it not been a crucial play, I think they throw the interference flag. He had his arms on Owens and wasn't looking for the ball. That should be interference. But I didn't expect to get the call.

 

[Woods]

That was pass interference, IMO. The defender never even looked for the ball. He had his hands all over TO before the ball arrived. There was no attempt from the defender to even make a play on the ball when the ball was in the air.

I hate the fade route. The only time I have ever thought it was a great call was when Cris Carter was the target. The guy could just flat out run that route.

 

[parchy]

That wasn't his only option. Witten was running an underneath route on the play as well. Unfortunately the rush came too quickly, leaving Tony only able to throw it up there and hope for the best.

I don't buy this. Tony snapped it, took maybe two steps back (was probably more like one) and released. He didn't look at his other receivers or the pass rush, which wasn't getting home all night. He had other options, but the call was to TO and TO only.

If he'd gotten the ball up a little bit, Owens either would have made the catch or the CB would have blatantly had PI.

 

[dogunwo]

I think Romo threw it a little low as well

 

[Big Dakota]

I told my buddy i'd run a roll out to give Tony options. He can pass or run it if it opens up. I don't think the fade is a bad call, but i get the feeling they are purposely going to TO just to keep the guy from pouting. I'd think Witten or Crayton would have been options with the roll out, but with the fade it's do or die. I like more than one do or die option when the game is on the line.

So you dont consider Fasano another option ?
Aside from Witten, Owens, Crayton, and Barber/Jones ?

Like I stated before the playcall wasnt bad.

This is true. The only reason Romo threw the immediate fade was the pressure.

 

[Big Dakota]

This is true. The only reason Romo threw the immediate fade was the pressure.

That's why i like the roll out on the 2pt. Gives options an eliminates SOME pressure. With Romo's running ability, just a small crack and he can run it in.

This makes no sense at all. He never looked back and was all over Owens. Thats textbook PI call. It should have been called.
