I would like to know who was responsible, in each playoff game, for:

time running out, Zeke snaps the ball and Dak heaves the ball to the Turpin chap to end the game and our chances in the 2022 season.

time running out, Dak takes the ball, hesitates for a millisecond and then runs to the red zone. Dak didn't know ref needs to touch the ball (2021 season).

I have run into many barriers in seeking out who might have been responsible for those horrible plays that made Dak look incompetent. Perhaps undeserved.
My guess has Kellen Moore's name all over it. Did these 2 plays that suck doom Moore?

If I am wrong, then who called the play? Dak? Fat Mac?

I still have nightmares about that first one. The ref should've sprinted as soon as the ball was snapped, just in case. He was sooooo late, then he proceeded to nearly knock down a lineman, then bumped Dak like a rag doll. Bad call. Bad execution. Bad officiating. How embarrassing. How heartbreaking. Nightmares.

Dak running out the clock was on Dak running out the clock and not being smart enough to realize that the ref needed to spot the ball. Not really sure how you blame the OC for Daks incompetence.

Many aspects to blame....Dak for looking for every yard he could cost a second/or two (when he was going to be left with a throw of about 30 yards in any case), Biadasz for blocking the ref and the play design.....but you'd imagine that Moore and Dak spoke and said, you've got 14 seconds left with CeeDee (a 4.5sec 40 yards) and TY (4.34sec), that gives you (potentially) two hail mary's if you can get the ball that far, or do you want one 'shorter' attempt.

Surely between them they could work out a 'safe' scramble distance, it's not as if every yard counted.

I suppose the inability to execute last year showed that yet again the Moore/Dak configuration had to go. Dak get's another chance, but the focus on whether he can progress (we'll see and this is why this season will be extremely interesting).

Everyone likes to ignore this. The ref was 20 yards behind the play. The other ref should’ve assisted in touching the ball when the other ref failed to do his job.

that moronic Dak QB sneak has to go down as one of, if not the worst play in NFL playoff history

Here we go with the cherry picking Dak blame game.

The Ref is the guy that completely blew it on the 2nd one. The entire Cowboys football team beat him down to the ball and set up before he comes in behind everyone. Its HIS job to get there and put the ball in place.

Not that it would have made much of a difference.

Only a fan with an agenda would blame any of that on Dak.

Let it die man. Its over. Let's just hope and pray that Big Mike calls better situational football than Moore did.

The last plays just drove in the final nails in the coffin.
But the last plays of both 49ers games seemed to show an O coordinator and a QB panicking and with little awareness.

They also exposed a choking defense that gave up 10 points in the 4th quarter along with 2 dropped picks and multiple untimely penalties to extend the drive on the TD for SF.

The Dak QB sneak wasn’t a bad call by any means.

:13 seconds, you need a touchdown and you’re on your own 40. You can either toss up one / two Hail Mary passes or pick up a few yards and have a better chance from 25-30 yards.

49ers rushed 3 and dropped 8 into coverage. They had 3 guys covering out of bounds on both sides and two safeties dropped deep. If you complete a pass you aren’t getting out of bounds to stop the clock. Middle of the field is wide open so you pick up a few and spike it. He was tackled with 9 seconds and it took an additional four seconds to stand up.

If Dak goes down at the 30, we have :10 seconds on the clock and plenty of time to spike it. The few extra yards, the defender on top of up and the ref not getting to him is what hurt us in the end.

that ref that could not beat the cowboys offense to the ball should not be a ref any longer .

Go back and read the OP. Digest the words. Comprehend.

The post clearly asks for the person responsible for those two plays. My guess it was Kellen Moore panicking. I also asked if it was Mac. Or Dak.
You might be looking for blame for Dak that is not really there.
On the slight chance that Dak called those two plays, then I question the O coordinator for running and putting all the pressure on Dear Deek. Not a kind thing to do.
