Multiple times in the last quarter when talking about what the Cowboys needed to do to get back into the game, he used "we" instead of "they", and the excitement was on one side of the ball.
IIRC, he was absolutely giddy when Garropolo threw it straight to a Cowboys player, and focused most of the rest of the game on what Dallas needed to do to get back, and not what the 49ers needed to do to stop them.
I didn't watch any football yesterday and just caught up on how the Niners-Cowboys game ended. Holy shit that was an irredeemable play call.
I'd advocate for calling it a McCarthy Special, but that's already what I call sending out the field goal team when you're behind, and it's 4th and 1 inside the Red Zone with one of the best QB's to ever play the game.
I do think McCarthy's risk aversion cost them this game too. I sincerely hope Jerrah keeps him on, so he can fuck them up next year.

Romo hasn't really exhibited much homerism for Dallas in his broadcasts.
Normally, no. And I'm thankful it was him, not Aikman. Because that could have been truly miserable.
But there was definitely a noticeable partisan slant from at least the last 5m of Q3.
But was that a bias of encouragement or a frustration against SUPERGENIUS?
Yes.
I've heard Romo be effusively supportive of various guys still there from his tenure, coaches and players, but he's rarely just gone full ham like he did during the 4th quarter last night, and I think the ineptitude of the Beav was the catalyst. He saw his team have possibly the best shot they've had in a decade to secure a playoff W (especially after those couple of series where Jimmy G lost his mind and threw it right at their secondary) and bad clock management and what I can only assume was McCarthy huffing his own supergenius farts pissed it away.

My experience is that he just gets enthusiastic against bad playcalling in general. I was barely watching the game so I can't comment much about this time. You'll have to pardon me for being leary that this isn't coming from an anti-Dallas reading of the situation.

Possible. I do know he lost it when the Cowboys did the fake punt (which was good), and then kept the punt team on the field for the next play (which was bad, but sprinkles!), even though it was 1st down.
But I contrast that to the reaction of the Garoppolo INT, and the slippages of "we", and it definitely felt like he was actively rooting for the side he played his career for.
The amazing thing is blowing a 4th and 1 sneak by MOTIONING YOUR LEFT TACKLE was not the dumbest thing in that fourth quarter. Might not even crack the top 5.
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.

Perhaps. But I'll take his level of homerism over just about everybody else. Little slips are better than full-throated endorsement.

This game had:
- The aforementioned motioning of the tackle on a sneak
- An in-the-dirt ball to Kittle that kept it from being a fumble turnover
- A massive overthrow by Jimmy G (who was standing in a stable pocket) to Aiyuk that would've possibly gone for six
- A record number of penalties by the Cowboys (many of which were presnap).
- Fake punt > hey let's keep the punt team out there on first down because LULZ maybe they'll take a TO > oh shit, they left their top 5 defense out there and boy do they look pissed.
- As a same part of that play, they didn't have any understanding about substitution rules
- A punt that hit the scoreboard
- And the running a QB draw with no timeouts and not understanding that you have to give the ball to an official to spot it.
I didn't watch any football yesterday and just caught up on how the Niners-Cowboys game ended. Holy shit that was an irredeemable play call.
I don't think it's irredeemable, you're trading potentially two shots from the 40 for one from the 30. I'm not sure ten yards increases your odds enough to make up for the lost play but I can understand the logic. The real issue is that Dak messed up and ran 15 yards instead of 10. If he slides at the 30 they get the spike off even if he and the center both brain fart and try to spot their own ball

The time lapsed between 10 and 15 yards in the open field is a rounding error considering the 10 other players that need to get back up to the line and set. Maybe if they hand the ball to the ref like they should they get a play off, but with less than 20 seconds on the clock there should be zero plays to the middle of the field which is why it was left so open.
It was almost like they were scrambling for a first which would make the decision even dumber.

And the upside is a desperation play from the 30 instead of two from the 45.

There are just way too many variables that could delay getting that spike off to justify the call. Dak could get tangled up with a defender, a lineman could slip when he rushes back, they might not get set and get flagged for an illegal snap. If they wanted a shorter field, they should have called a play with routes towards the sidelines. At least then, if they are covered then Dak can throw it away and they can try one last time from the 45.
The only way any play to the middle with 14 seconds left would be justified is if they had a timeout. SF completely conceded the center of the field for a very good reason.
The history of Dallas always choking in December (which is now January because of the extra game) is so strong it's basically a meme.
That combined with Romo going all in for his old team and then watching in real time as The Beav goes fucking SUPER GENIUS and completely fucks away the game was probably the best football I've seen all year.
at the risk of being the guy defending an nfl broadcaster, I think this is all a little unfair to romo; I don't think he's so much biases in favor of dallas as he is generally excitable
he was also willing to slob all over garoppolo's knob despite him turning in the worst half we're likely to see by a qb in the playoffs; he was all set to throw the 49ers out of that game had dallas' defense not kept bailing him out
it was the smallest on the list but
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget

I didn't watch Sunday night, but given the reports of him being near useless, are you sure you want to stand by that with two Roethlisberger halves to compare to?
The more I look at the Dak run the more I don't really think that was the call. The defense parted, wide, and fairly blatantly. I think Dak saw that, forgot the clock and his feet just said "R U N" and he really thought he could get enough time for one more play.
i think the worst part of it all is that after the game he doesn't take responsibility for how it went down. no one else ran that ball, no one else ran past the first down marker, no one else took the ball and didn't give it to the ref. he's the QB, he has to own that.
on the other hand, i watched some videos of the fans throwing garbage at the team and that just pisses me off. I don't care if the game ends like it did, you don't throw bottles at people (even players).

I wouldn't be against the fans throwing bottles at the owner, though.
They were throwing it at the refs. Which isn't any better.
Prescott then showed his whole ass when told about it.
they were throwing at the refs but one of the videos i watched literally had one of the dallas players have to block something (looked like a bottle) with his helmet so they all suck. Even if the refs sucked to hell and back, I find throwing stuff at people to be the lowest of low.
Which is why you don't throw shit onto the field of play.
Unless it’s a dildo?

Also looking at the video a couple times today. I don’t think the QB sneak was a called play. I think Dak went rogue because the whole team was disorganized getting to the line. If it was a planned sneak the WRs and line would have been getting ready, but it looked like it was an oh shit moment.
Interesting stat I saw: Favre currently holds the record for most playoff wins against NFC teams, with 12. If Rodgers or Brady make the Super Bowl, they’ll tie Favre.
