Going for the TD with 30 seconds to go - is that an unclassy move?

[calico]

bush league by the pats...not surprised considering their coach.

 

[Big Dakota]

I'd rather have them play to the end. Lay down for us? No thanks.

 

[DawnOfANewD]

Uh yeah, we praise Garrett and Phillips for their "killer instinct" when they condone running up the score against STL, MIA, and CHI, but when someone does it to us, we whine like little *****es. Love the hypocrisy.

And hey, we could have stopped them but we didn't. We let them score. If we stopped them, we wouldn't be whining, would we? It's all on our D, not them.

 

[Cochese]

And yet, with no timeouts and just having to kneel on the ball somehow still didn't prevent them from running a real play.

It was 4th down, why should they give us the ball?


Why couldnt we stop their 5th string RB?

Why did Wade call a time out?

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Does wade calling timeout after timeout and giving them more time to waste even register?

If he didn't do that and just let the game go, they would not have scored by running jumbo formations straight ahead. The clock would have been gone.

They still could've taken a knee. They wanted to score again. Classless. And we let 'em. Pathetic.

 

[The Patriot]

Guys, if they kneeled the ball on fourth down the clock would stop with the change of posession.

It's called class.

when did we ever run up the score in the final 2 minutes of the game?????????????????????

 

[Joe71]

That last score is on Wade he should not have called that timeout.

WtH are you talking about? We didn't run a FOURTH down play for a TD against ANY of thsoe teams with 20 freakin' seconds left in the game.

 

[Cochese]

It's called class.

Get over it. If the Cowboys diddnt want to be scored on, Wade shouldnt have called that timeout.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

heck yeah it is. I was okay with this loss until that. thats messed up.

I agree but I expected no less from the classless Mumbles.

 

[CowboyBlog]

It was real unclassy.

It skews their stats.

 

[Nav22]

I had no problem with it.

Say they kneel and we get it with 25 seconds left, and we hit on a 99 yard TD pass. That would leave, what, 10 seconds left? An onside recovery (which we pulled off on Monday) and we're a hail mary away from tying it.

Obviously, the above sequence of events is EXTREMELY unlikely.

But say the Pats had a 99.9999999999% chance of winning the game by kneeling on 4th and goal. If they can turn 99.9999999999% into 100%, why wouldn't they?

Go away.


So the Pats and Refs beat the cowboys today. Big deal, we're gonna whoop your arses in the superbowl.

Read my new sig.

Get over pretending you're not a Pats fan.

please. wade stopped the clock under 2 minutes for god knows what reason. They ran it as simply as they could. If wade wouldn't have called that, they would have run out of time right after their 3rd down run. Game over.

 

[Roger78]

What do you think? 4th and goal with 30 seconds left, is it unclassy to go for the TD? Is the proper move to kneel the ball there or not?

Tom Landry or Jimmy Johnson or Barry Switzer (anybody with any class at all [okay not Switzer] would have done a kneel down. The "hoodie" has none obviously. Really lookin' forward to the SB 42. Hard to beat a really good team twice. Same for them.

On a side note, am I the only one who couldn't see the whole fourth quarter because of wonderful Time-Warner Cable? Haven't read any body else's threads but that was absolutely terrible!!!!! It was all broken up - I didn't know we kicked a field goal until a minute or so later. I set a new record for uninterupted curse words!!!

Guys, if they kneeled the ball on fourth down the clock would stop with the change of posession.

When we have the ball, we would only have 5 seconds left in the game, do you think we could have gone 98 yards for a TD and have time to score again?

That was unnecessary and classless thing to do. Pats aren't only cheaters, they also like to pile it on.
