I get the idea of that play call, and really it almost worked but like all things cowboys the execution wasn't quite there.
The 49ers finally started blanketing the sideline so no more quick out routes, so you're basically trading one, possibly 2 hail mary attempts for a shot at a more focused play from the 20 yard line. Like, if they actually get that spike off their chances of somehow winning the game go way up, but of course there's the risk that you don't get the spike off and, well...
If Dak had slid even 3 yards earlier, or just handed the ball to the official instead of the center (why didn't he know to hand the ball to the official, Mike?), then that play looks like a genius call that gives them one real shot to win the game instead of just heaving up a prayer from midfield.

"Troy Aikman wishes he was in Dallas right now"
- Dov Kleiman is someone, but the video is from the game.
Troy Aikman being pissy that he wasn't allowed to be in the booth at the Dallas game, and had to do the TB/PHI game instead...
I'm not sure I can take all that salt.
Will REALLY be funny if they either get smoked this week (and he misses out), or if he gets it next week and they get shat upon.
Now that would have been magical.

All the Cowboys fans want to blame McCarthy but this is your standard Cowboys result every single year.
All the blame lies with the fact that Jerry Jones uses his lich powers to drain the essence from the entire team in his unholy rituals to keep himself on the mortal plane.
how much are these? they don't have a price listed
I’m officially on board for a Nickelodeon game every week next season for the irreverent entertainment value. (I would also accept the proposed Muppets game)

I watch maybe a dozen football games a season (including all of wildcard weekend cause that's the best football) and I'm still not a football "knower"
last year the nickelodeon cast had the clearest explanation of offsides, versus encroachment, versus neutral zone infraction, versus false start that I've ever seen in my life.
All of these different penalties that are never ever ever explained in the normal national broadcast.
Sure, the explanation came from fucking Young Sheldon, but still, the pop up explanation of what you're actually watching was fucking great!

More than anything else in football, I now want a version of the Super Bowl broadcast that has Statler and Waldorf heckling from the booth.

I'm real torn between the obvious and correct choice of wanting the Steelers to lose so Roethlisberger never plays another game of football, and wanting them to win so he has to keep going out there are humiliating himself.
You know you're fucked when the TE throws a touchdown pass on your defense.
Wonder how many people have a 40+ yard TD catch and a TD pass in the same playoff game?
Turns out Kelce the only one. Scott Van Pelt also just mentioned he's also the first person to catch a TD and pass for a TD while getting 100 recieving yards in a playoff game.

i dont think 9ers have the pass coverage to stop AR. OL will have to hold up but 9ers shouldnt be a problem. Deebo may test run D so could make for interesting game at least.

GB's offense is rarely the issue. GB's defense can be problematic, especially against good RBs and TEs. If Samuel (not technically their RB) and Kittle have good games, the Packers are going to struggle.

I've watched a team (Rutgers) spike the ball on fourth down, so not there for me. But pretty dumb.

And it's clear that one coaching staff is adjusting as rhe game plays out and one is being rigid as hell and sticking with a "gameplan".

One has the most dynamic and exciting QB to play the game and the other has a shriveled husk taking snaps.

After a great block before he flared to the endzone.

Time to send him up to a farm out in the country, where he gets to run all day.
I’ll say this for Reid, no one does a better job making big man TDs happen.

Glad they didn’t let him have the last touchdown at least. Fuck off Ben.

I don’t see what the big deal is; Jerry Jones has been throwing trash out there for 20 years!

He was certainly yelling in the booth.
I don’t think that it was so much “I want to see Dallas win” as “I hate seeing incompetency like this on a football field.”
