We should have run for the TD.

[Stautner]

Im not sure about that. I dont believe Witten ran the wrong route but even if the ball was on the money or the route was ran correctly whatever the case was/is there were three defenders within 5 yards of him and two of them were right near him and still might have been able to pick the pass off.

Finally, something we agree on. Regardless of whether Witten cut the route short or not, Bledsoe made a bad decision to throw the pass.

I guess that I was not the only person hoping for the draw there.

As far as the time left issue, on either first or second down we could have called two plays a draw and then a pass play to the end zone. If the draw is not successful, you have to quickly run the second play. Having said that, issues like this could be second guessed in any game with any play caller.

I have a question, though. What does it tell you about the confidence we have in our quarterback, when a number of us are hoping for a draw play when there are 38 seconds left on the clock and the game is on the line?

Either way I still think a run would have been nice and its not like there wasnt enough time had it failed. Oh well.

funny you bring this up because I was calling for a draw on that play

Me three! I remember the draw play in 1992 when the Cowboys were playing the Broncos in Mile High Stadium. Emmitt walks into the end zone. Perfect call.

Wish we had some of that type of unpredictable play calling now.

That we don't have much confidence in Drew Bledsoe.

Wait, there's an INTERCEPTION.

Confidence shattered again.

It doesn't say anything about Bledsoe because the draw is not because we thought he would fail but because it would have tripped up the Eagle defence.

4 words...

No time outs left.

Did we not have any ? I couldn't remember for sure.

When did they have us with no timeouts, and then gave us one back ?

I remember that happening, but couldn't remember when.

I thought we had one left but not sure at all.
