The game was lost shortly before halftime. If the defense had done its job then and everything else happened exactly the same (including Crayton's poor effort) until the end of regulation, Dallas would have won and advanced to the NFC Championship game.

he who hesitates is lost...

 

[pugilist]

that's not the Crayton drop

 

[DBOY3141]

will we have one of these for this year or do we finally get over the hump?

 

[Zekeats]

that's not the Crayton drop

Even worse. That was a game winning TD that he slept on.

Great question

Amare Toomers long catch and run. I was there and it still haunts me.

Games are lost on clutch plays. Crayton not finishing his route is what lost us this game. He had the guy beat by 4 yards and an easy TD. He wouldn't have even been touched.

Dude. No.

He runs. He catches.

We win!


That was worse than jackies drop.

 

[hornitosmonster]

This team makes that play

 

[DFWJC]

Perfect throw for the win right there.

But there were two other potential TDs dropped earlier. Never just one play.

 

[Ranching]

It was all Jessica Simpson's fault!

 

[links18]

Meh, stuff happens: Like the phantom off sides on Ware that led to a Giants' TD.

 

[Jkyle]

Gee thanks.
Now I'm nauseous!
Just like I was when watching this in 2008!

 

[MarkP88]

Please stop...

This idiocy about Crayton just won't die...sadly. There were a myriad of reasons for their failure in 2007...enough to go around on both sides of the ball.

The motto of the story is this: In a game of MANY mistakes, don't be that player who makes the FINAL mistake...for that player alone will be specifically targeted as public enemy number one...like Bryant was against New York.

Games are lost by what players and coaches don't do in games.

Why man, why???? Probably the worse loss I've experienced as a fan, even more so than the 94 NFCCG because although we made it a game we were down 21-0 in the first 5 minutes of the game so it was easier to digest.
