Can someone post a video or a picture or something from youtube where we can see exactly what parcells was referring to in his post game press conf and his press conf today. Parcells mentioned on Romo's INT which was thrown to Glenn, that had Romo thrown the ball to TO it would have been a TD. I would just like to see exactly how that play could have played out. Thanks
 
It would have been a TD to Glenn is the defender didnt pull him down. His route was taking him in front of the safety who picked it off on that slant that had worked all day.
 
TO was in single coverage and had his man beat by about half a step. If Romo puts that ball up in TO's direction, I like our WR's odds of coming down with it.

you're talking about a completely different play. Parcells is referring to the deep throw to Glenn that was short and ended up being picked off, not the one from the goal line that was called back because of holding.
 
Here's a shot of the play as the ball is in flight. I know the image is VERY blurry, that's what happens when you get fast camera motion. Each frame is blurred in the video but when its played at regular speed it doesn't look near that blurry.

Anyway, I just pointed out that TO is in single coverage and Glenn has the corner on him with the safety on his way.
The corner was even with TO so I'm not so sure it would have been a "sure" TD.

Here's a shot of Witten's position on the play (lower part of the image). I'm pretty sure he would have gotten 4+ yards on the play. BUT, oh well, hindsight is 20/20 and Romo has been awesome so far so I'm not complaining 1 bit!

If Romo had thrown to the outside shoulder of Glenn it would have been a big play or possible td, depending if the safety could get the angle or not.
