Tweet Cowboy fans should be angry

You mean with 40 seconds left in the game and the clock running and a play downfield just ending?

Timeout was absolutely the right call.

How can JG know the spot is bad? In a split second after the play is run?

It was obvious that the spot was bad - you could see it on TV. Where you watching the game?

Garrett wasnt watching on tv. he was conserving clock.

I do, they are weaker now than when we crushed them at home in week 6.

Ya but so was dallas. They didnt play too awful great in the 2 playoff games.

 

[IAmLegend]

Seattle would have been much more motivated to play us imo, seeing as how we were their only home loss.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Wow really? You don't say!

Well most people are acting as If dallas played yeaterday they wouldve won for sure and thats dumb.

No, that's not true. Seattle was missing two starters on the defensive line and one on the offensive line when Dallas played them in week six. I still think Dallas beats them, but because Dallas is a better team than they were in week six, too.

Did anyone see Terry Bradshaw flat out tell Aaron Rogers .........they got lucky ...in the pregame game. Rogers seemed a little pissed, he replied to Bradshaw ---your better than that. Bradshaw didn't back down.

To be fair, it probably wasn't even his call, the guys in the booth have the view. He had 3 TO's, that wasn't the time to use one.

 

[Beast_from_East]

We will never know, maybe we beat Seattle or maybe we don't

Moot point now

Oh, good grief! They had a first down (soon to be reversed), 34 yards away from the end zone, and 40 seconds to play with. Under those circumstances, you're still thinking touchdown. Not calling a timeout would have wasted 10 to 15 seconds, which equates to to plays. Not taking a time out there drastically reduces your chance of getting in the end zone. That was the absolute right time to take a timeout.

I thought SEA had a good chance of knocking us off before that game, but, if they played as flat against the Cowboys as they did the Packers, I have very little doubt we'd be playing in the Super Bowl in two weeks. I was sick to my stomach watching that game.

This much is very true. Stinks, though.

 

[Doomsay]

That's the whole point.

 

[rpntex]

That's the whole point.

So, let me see if I've got this straight… Garrett is supposed to base the timeout call on the premise that the play will be overturned? Using that "logic", team should never throw the ball based on the premise that it might be incomplete were intercepted.

Think, and focus on the concept of "booth review". Incorporate down and distance and time outs available.... and you have a 6 point swing. It's almost like a gift.

 

[SportsGuru80]

I have to agree with Nick... We would have won that game SMFH.

So now you're saying that Garrett should base his decision to call timeout on the premise that the booth will stop the clock to review the play? If so, just how many seconds are going to run off before the booth stops the clock to review the play?

Did you ever hear the phrase "control what you can control"?

yup

BTW, the booth didn't stop the clock, we did. They just took advantage of our naivete to reverse a favorable spot, that ultimately cost us 6 or 7 points.

 

[rynochop]

I think im still more peeved about that first down catch that clearly hit the ground that wasnt overturned. That one still blows me away, that rear view was not even close

 

[rynochop]

yup

They would have stopped the play anyway before we snapped the ball, it was that clear of a bad spot.
