No matter where it was placed, Luepke clearly didn't think he was supposed to be getting the ball. He made no move to take the ball. He thought he was a fake, and so played that up with a dive into the endzone.
Not cute to give the ball to FB in short yardage.
We ain't good enough to drop a TD and win against a good team like Miami.
Jiminey spokes!
Fox called it Dak's fumble, but didn't the lad Hunter Leupke from N. Dakota State, know to anticipate and lower and cradle the ball?
Good lads, the slow-mo shows Leupke's arms way too high to grasp the ball. Almost as the lad thought this was a feint?
Lads, cast your glistening eyes on the slo-mo.
And tell me what you think, good chaps all.
Before tha fumble: Dak, CeeDee, Fergie, Cooks rumbled downfield. Fearsome! And the ending was a fumble. And as a result, me feeling is tha fumble took the air out of our sails. Am I right?
Had Leupke held on, I am sure we win.
Holla
Despite tha, Merry Christmas me lovable ruffians. Me festivus was fun-loving!
what!!! he put the ball in his belly. its clear from the picture Hunter didn't secure the ball with his hands. is Dak responsible to grab his arm, wrap it around the ball, tighten his fingers and whisper in his ear to hold on.
I know we will never get a direct answer but I wonder if the play was supposed to be a fake. Or maybe he was supposed to get the ball and screwed up thinking it was a fake. But I know having the answer doesn't change anything.
in his mind, he was scoring a TD and celebrating.
That's fine, then we can attack back all we want.
Hunter needs to have his hands lower, open between the arms for the ball to hit him and he then secures the ball. his hands are totally in the wrong place.
We will never know who is truly at fault for this botched play. Dak fans will always blame anything other than Dak, while more reasonable people try to think of other causes. The play was just strange.
The position of his arms suggests the play was supposed to be a fake. But what do I know...
Exactly... it's a team sport so stop trying to affix blame or success on one player...stop trying to lay wins and losses at the feat of one player. Stop trying to say one player is supposed to be the one responsible for playoff and SB success. It's pretty simple if you h
Well since you didn’t see the game, my humble suggestion is to maybe refrain from commenting? The Cowboys did score a TD on their next possession. The problem was points were at a premium last night.
unless the QB is falling down and away from the RB, its always the RB's fault. they are taught how to hold their hands, create a cradle for the ball and how to secure it. Hunter's hands and arms are in the wrong place. the ball is falling down from his chest. if it was pollard or dowdle, this was a TD.
then why did Dak hand it off? maybe Hunter didn't know the play. that's on Hunter. and that's on the coaches.
You never complained about that when Romo received all the credit for when a receiver broke it loose for a 70 yard TD pass.
