RyanC883 Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 I didn't watch this game, will have to read on what happened. Was Dak approving of throwing things at the refs, or at the Dallas players for blowing it. We should help Dallas. Edmunds and a 1st for Parsons. Quote
TheFunPolice Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 IF you were going to try that play you have a pass called and fake spike, hoping you catch the 49ers in a mixup since they had no timeouts Quote

unbillievable Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 3 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: This is assuming the ref accepts the team's spot of the ball. If Dak "knows he's going to come in and touch the ball" he and his teammates should make it easy for the ref. Maybe that's how it always was for McCarthy, but other teams do have the refs approving the spot of the ball. It was amazing to me how fast the refs moved in this game to give Dallas a chance, including sprinting downfield and staying out of position just to clear the line, and it was still too late. If Dallas had gotten the play off and faked the spike, the official would have been interfering with the 49er's, standing in the middle of the defense. 2 Quote

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 1 hour ago, unbillievable said: It's already settled science that it takes 13 seconds to set and snap a ball with the clock running. That takes into account that the refs are slow to spot the ball, get into position and blow the whistle. Anyone know if that was a called play or just Dak being stupid? The QB draw? Designed play, definitely. Quote Prescott took off on a designed run and slid at the end of a 17-yard run, with about eight seconds to go. Umpire Ramon George bumped Prescott trying to set the spot. The snap from the San Francisco 24 came after the clock expired. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/the-cowboys-chaotic-final-play-can-be-blamed-on-everything-but-the-refs/ar-AASRqXa Quote Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said after the game that it was a designed QB run by Prescott on the final play. That seems like an awfully strange play call given that the team had no timeouts. McCarthy thought the Cowboys would have time to spike it and run another play, but he was wrong. Mike McCarthy said the QB draw on final play with 14 seconds remaining is practiced each week and he was surprised they didn’t get another snap. He was told NY review was likely to put more time on the clock. — Ed Werder (@WerderEdESPN) January 17, 2022 Word: Quote The Cowboys seemed to blame everyone but themselves for how the game ended. McCarthy deserves blame for a strange final play call. The coaching staff deserves blame for apparently not teaching their team a ref had to touch the ball despite McCarthy saying they practiced the play often. Prescott deserves blame for throwing the refs under the bus when it seems like he didn’t know the rule either. The fans also shouldn’t be throwing garbage at anyone. Maybe McCarthy coached them to go ahead and snap and spike it and take some penalty for not letting the ref set the ball, that would put a few seconds on the clock? Does anyone know what such a penalty would be? Quote

MJS Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Incredible that anyone is blaming the refs for that. The ref did everything he could to quickly run up to spot the ball. He had huge lineman to get through. Even so he did it pretty quickly. That is 100% on the Cowboys. Scrambling there is just dumb. 2 3 1 Quote

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Had this happened in Foxboro to the home team, a call from NYC would have resulted in teams being called back to the field, 10 seconds being added to the clock, and an additional conditional draft pick being awarded. Two, if they failed to score. 😁 Quote

Dak just lost his game awareness and is blaming the official for his own lack of awareness, since the official "hit Dak from behind" trying to get to the ball and touch it and save Dak from a 10 second run-off that would end the game. Official coulda just stood back, let Dak spike it, and thrown the flag for the 5 yds and 10s penalty: Blogging the Boys: Quote If the Cowboys have really practiced this play and trained for it then how were they unaware of the fact that the ball had to be given to the official to place and not Tyler Biadasz? This sounds like excuse-making from the Cowboys and like they are trying to place the blame for their loss on the referees as opposed to their own errors. Obviously officials aren’t perfect, but the Cowboys were at fault on Sunday and hardly some sort of victim. Fans were displeased with the way that the game ended and chose to throw debris at officials as they ran off of the field which was an ugly thing to see. Quote
Nitro Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Do not blame the refs. Dallas played undisciplined football. They are not a very smart team from coaches to players. 1 Quote

Maybe it's not 100% dumb since it got them in range for an ordinary pass play vs. a Hail Mary, but Dak needed to get down quicker and not go for every yard, and he needed to look for an official not set up to spike the ball with no official involved. McCarthy comes off as a dumbass if it's true the team has really been practicing that play every week, just like that. Dak comes off as a sore-losing dumbass. 2 Quote

They could have gotten 2 hail-mary's off if Dak wasn't so stupid. edit: remembered where Dak had started running, not where he slid. McCarthy is such an idiot. You have the ball well inside the 50. You have 14 seconds left. That gives you likely 2 great shots at a Hail Mary. Dumbest call ever. Quote
