Why not try the 70 yarder?

[erod]

I realize how unlikely it was.

But we've seen two weeks in a row that Dak can't throw a ball 55 yards into the end zone. Came up woefully short both times.

So why not see if Maher can catch a line drive perfectly flush indoors?

To me, it's the most likely unlikely option there.

 

[DuncanIso]

agree.

The hail mary has almost no change.

 

[FLCowboyFan]

agree.

The hail mary has almost no change.

It has no chance either

We all know that do we? I seem to recall a game against Pittsburgh and against the Commanders this year where he threw perfect deep balls. But hey. What do I know.

I would have ran a fake 70 yard FG actually.

Lol this ain't EA's NCAA College Football....

If garrett trotted them out for a 70 yard fg with the game on the line he woulda been fired on the spot

His arm got hit. You’re hoping for PI

I would have ran a fake 70 yard FG actually.

Which would have been stopped easily. I would guarantee that the Saints would have played some sort of prevent defense vs field goal block.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Because it was 70 yards?

Dak had a safety bearing down on him and wiped him out as he was throwing. Dak can no issue throwing the ball 55 yards but kind of hard with a guy bearing down and not being able to step into the throw.

Why not try the 70- yarder?

Odds of getting a defensive flag downfield are better than hitting a 70 yarder.

 

[MonsterD]

I didn't understand why at 1:30 left in the game why Dak was even given the option to throw short and medium, only should have been throwing as deep as he can. Coaching again decided to be stupid and go for threshold field goal range, F that get it down inside the 20.

 

[ChuckA1]

It was a darn shame the game came down to either play, a 70 yarder or a hail Mary! Offensively, the Cowboys stunk last night. The defense only gave up 12 points. The fact we couldn't score more the 10 is really concerning. I realize it's early, but you don't see NE failing to score whenever they need to. The Cowboys just aren't there yet.

 

[Risen Star]

We can't ask our "franchise" QB to throw a 55 yard hail mary? That's too much for him?

 

[aikemirv]

If I had ever seen Maher put it through the goalpost on a kickoff I might go for it. I have never seen him do that.

 

[Diehardblues]

You could get an interference call.

 

[BleedinBlue]

Why make things up ? Dak has thrown the ball 55 yards before. You have to be able to get your feet set. He was falling away from a defender.

 

[John813]

Still believe laterals was the best option.

Put out Pollard and Austin and hope for a miami miracle

I’d have to agree.
