Twitter: Noah Brown on the OT turnover

[CalPolyTechnique]

The Cowboys made about 10 mistakes in the final 1:30 of the game, and Brown made 1 in OT. In the meantime, the Jags were making plays like dragging Kearse 10 yards to get out of bounds. It's called finishing and the Cowboys did not finish even after Lawrence coughed up the ball to them. .

100%

I’m a big Kearse supporter but he came up lame on that play. You got one job which is to bring that guy down in the field of play; trip him, hang on to his ankles, do whatever that needs to be done to bring him down.

you're moving up the "I'm in Love with Dak charts", but you are going to have to work harder to get to the top.
Good Luck, the dak lovers at the top are dug in pretty hard, but good luck.

I love the Cowboys and root for all the players.

Just enjoy helping posters that struggle with
player analysis. Goes for all the players - good and bad.

No digging in required.

There is a reason that immaculate reception took place. The other 99% of the game that took place before it. That play wasn't the only play of the game. There was a series of events that led up to it. You sir are a fool . And if I continue debating a fool I will become one too. The floor is yours.

But...which play is the most important...final act?

Noah's drop, if he'd caught it...may have been ONE of these plays you speak of. Probably NOT the "game winning play", but one that MIGHT have ALLOWED a game winning play. THE ONE. THE FINAL PLAY that WON the game.

See...I understand your theory and not as much of a fool you'd wish me to be.

You don't seem to understand I already admitted there has to be a certain series of events. Of that there is no doubt. But you STILL need the one final capstone play...or else NONE of the rest of it matters.

Jackie Smtih? Or are you too young for that ONE single play?

You contradicted yourself. You say you agree with me and disagree in one post. And that Jackie Smith dropped pass in the endzone happened in the third quarter. It was just one play of many that led to the loss.

I did not contradict myself. I both (partially) agree...and (partially) disagree.

It would seem we are at an impasse here. I say ONE play certainly CAN win or lose a game. Basketball, golf, inventions....you name it.

I usually think of it as the last ...or one of the last plays....but not always.

You...do not agree.

It's fine...sorry for any silly insults.

I will always contend that the phantom interference call on Benny Barnes? was an even bigger play than the drop. The Cowboys had the momentum and had gotten the stop deep in Steeler territory and were about to get the ball back with Roger smokin hot at that point. I have no doubt that they would have scored to take the lead and control of that game right there. The PI set the Steelers up in Dallas territory.. which they would then score to go up 28-17 and pretty much seal the game. Not only was Swann a good 5 yards beyond the DB when the ball got there the ball was a good 5 yards beyond him. As in not catchable.. and Barnes could not have interfered if he wanted to because he was beaten by 3 steps. The pressure up front caused Bradshaw to have to heave up a prayer.. which the officials answered for him.

Who is having a better year, Lamb or Cooper?

Just think if they were still together???????????????????

 

[khiladi]

Yes, falling down, not being led. And it was tipped by the RDEs left hand, meaning it was deflected and decelerating, otherwise probably would have been even farther behind Brown with Dak's horrible mechanics on the throw.

Dak in his PC also said he "threw it low on purpose" which is straight up BS, because he was jumping to get it over the RDE and throwing across his body.

Even these images show Dak is full of garbage, because there is zero reason to throw it low on purpose.

 

[Hawkeye19]

bad pass, had he caught it , he would have been out of bounds

???

He was sliding down, the ball hit him in the hands, he deflected it right to the defender who took it to the house.

Nowhere near the sideline.

Just think if this team wins in the playoffs which they have a good chance of doing at this point. It looks like they will play the NFC South in the 1st game and anything can happen in the other playoff games. NFC is up for grabs and the Cowboys should beat the South winner.

 

[Doomsday101]

We all know what opinions are at the end of the day.....the only thing that will matter is if Dak & Co. play like opinions in the playoffs.

Plain and simple it was Brown should have made the catch, He knows as most know it yet some will not say it. Dak has had some picks that I put on no one but him, that pass, Brown messed up no and's, if's or buts about it. Why you are so set on blaming Dak on that is beyond me?

One more thing:



FOrward straight to 36 seconds, with the slow motion of this actual bottom pick. Your screen shot is where the ball is, after it hits Brown's FOREARM while Brown is actually falling down. It neither hit him in the hands nor chest like some of you Dak jock-riders claim

The first screen shot actually doesn't tell us anything of where the ball is in front of Brown, that is provided in the actual video at 36 seconds in. Dak even said in the PC he "threw it low on purpose", while "ironically" having to jump over the RDE. SO Dak basically admits even if we accept his explanation, he didn't LEAD his WR in Brown and made him go low for the ball for no reason whatsoever, since he had a step on him.

But once again, ball was tipped because Dak decided to float towards the RDE and do a Kobe throw.

 

[Captain-Crash]

well at the least he didn't throw it in the ground like he usually does. shrugs.

QBs often throw low in a situation like that to avoid exactly what Brown caused. I'm not Dakophant, and in real time, my first instinct was to blame Dak. But as soon as they showed the replay it was obvious that it was Brown's fault.

I hope you're doing it for sport because you know this dude is just a vehement anti-Dak troll right? You're not getting any intelligent discussion from him nor are you changing his tune even a little bit. If it snows in your town today it will be Dak's fault in his mind.

oh I was talking about the other one lol it was 3rd and 10 .
the one your talking about he probably should have caught, but he had to go down for it , I could never get a good look at it.
it was a freak play, and maybe dak should not have thrown it, as there were 2 defenders right there, one got the deflection

 

[Cowboys5217]

Games are not won and lost on a single play.
The game is 60 minutes long. And then there's overtime.

Single plays can lose you the game such as Romo's pick to kill the Denver game where he had over 500 yards passing.

I hope you already read all my post debunking that in this thread.
