I will probably be bashed for this but I honestly thought they should have gone for it instead of a field goal. My thinking is , there still would have been more than a minute on the clock and Seattle would only need a FG to win. Do a QB sneak get the 1' and 1st down ,( teams usually get the spot on such a play ) take a Knee twice to run the clock down to about 10-15 seconds and then a running play to the end zone , if they don't get it call a time out and kick, leaving no time on the clock. Well thats what I think , Parcells is far too conservative for my taste. Like I said I will probably be bashed so bash away.

1. Yeah, your gonna get buried big time for this one

2. I'm with ya, I had no doubts Seattle was driving the field on our worthless defense and getting whatever they needed. Hell, against our defense they could score, onsides kick, score again. ALL in a minute.

That idea crossed my mind as well...but its a tough call - If Romo would have got stuffed we would have hung Parcells for not going for the field goal. Either way, still a tough loss
