If Jason Garrett/Linehan had made that call what would you do?

Imagine the Cowboys were in that exact same situation, and Jason Garrett/Linehan had called a pass that was picked off instead of running it three straight times, what would you have done? How would you have reacted. My 14 yr. old son speculated that he would have to call 911 to send me to the emergency room from having a heart attack. While I don't have heart problems, I think he was right. Given JG's penchant for calling passes in that situation and the Romo choke label, I think if that had happened to us, I would absolutely pass out right when it happened. It would have been the worst possible scenario for the Cowboys to lose a SB....I would much rather lose by 30.

How would you have reacted?

They wouldn't have. We have the best offensive line in the league with Murray back there.

And even if they did, it would be a high back shoulder fade to Dez Bryant of all people.

That was the dumbest play call ever. Especially after you give your running back a new multi-million dollar contract during SB week, the same guy who gains five yards to get you to less than the one in the first place.

It reeks of fishiness. @WWE. #cheatriots.

I've seen JG throw from that situation dozens of times. Heck, for most of his coaching career his inclination on short and goal to go is to go empty backfield.....

It was a bad call, but at the end of the day, the Patriots were a better team.

I'd probably be in the same state of mind Pete Carroll is in right now on ESPN.

Hurry up and get on here to watch the complete meltdown. It would be better than the game itself.

Jk... I'd have broken a hand.

Funny enough, This place would be the worst place to go after that happened, yet I wouldn't be able to keep myself from opening it up....that is if the servers didn't crash before I got in.

I would have been gutted. Then hope they can get back next year.

Not leave the house for a few days and definately not wear any Cowboys gear when I finally did.

They have done this sort of thing this year.

It just didn't end up with a interception. We just kicked the FG instead.

Would have completed the pass to Dez or Witten for the TD anyway and in spite of bad call.

The only QB to not throw a pick this post season was Romo :)
I think Wilson had 5 and Brady had 4
