Looks like we both sold out to stop the other team's #1. Tate and Williams both got big long TDs as a result. Dez's one big play was essential though.I havent seen or heard about what we did to contain megatron. not even one deep pass.
although, same could be said about a quiet Dez game
Faceguarding is no longer a penalty... as long as there is no contact.I agree with you that I don't think it was PI, but with the way the rules are these days, who knows. Mike Periera said it was textbook PI while Aikman, I believe, said it wasn't PI.
Faceguarding is PI. If Hitchens had his head turned, then it's not PI.
Again, a non-Cowboys fan could say it's not necessarily a bad call if not called, but it's worse to pick up a flag that was called...cuz the ref did make the official verbal announcement.
Kind of like an instant replay that reverses a call, but it's not 100% obvious.
Everybody in the bar I was at loved his celebration when he was lying on the ground after throwing that TD to Williams.I'm very happy for Romo.
I feel like there should grades of PI. Egregious ones get the full penalty yardage and others just get 10 yards and automatic 1st. Even call the ticky tack ones with a redo of the play.I agree with the ole' Jer though...they've got to seriously look at adding PI calls to the docket to be reviewed.
There have been too many games turned around on PI calls...the game was never meant to be in the refs hands, and with these PI and illegal contact calls it has really skewed the game at times IMHO.
I get the league wants offense offense offense, but you have gotta take some of these games out of the refs hands.
I'd like to see something along the lines of it being a challengeable play or something similar.
Romo missed some throws, but all in all considering the pressure he was under, he did absolutely fantastic. If anyone here would have blamed it on him had we lost, they'd have been mistaken. I would have put it on the lack of preparation from the coaching staff. I think they believed their own BS to a certain degree. Either way, it will be interesting in GB next week. I think we are going to have to dominate on the ground to even have a chance at winning.Me too. I could see that some here were ready to pin the loss on him had we lost.
there's no comparing the two and the attempt reaks of Bipo style "Dez is not eleet!" desperation.Still feeling so good about this win.
I'm just amazed at how resilient these guys are, and that was evident even on the final play of the game.
Lawrence could have easily gone into a shell after screwing up what should have been the game-clinching play. But after screwing that up, he stayed focused and came right back and made the play of the year to seal the deal.
That is what this team has done all year. They set aside the adversity and refocus on the task at hand. These Cowboys are something else, and I couldn't be prouder.
BTW, this DeMarcus already made a play more important and more clutch than the other DeMarcus ever did. This is why this defense is stepping up where the others used to fail - they've got guys who make plays when it matters most.
Yeah, every good player who ever played for a shitty team is better than any draft bust on a good team.Still feeling so good about this win.

Shades of '09?
And I lak it...a lawt.
Lily has a big bottom
Yes. They lined up and tried to draw Dallas offices and when it didn't work they punted.I can't find it, but after they picked up the PI flag, didn't Detroit punt it on a 4th and 1?
They should have known no one was in the offices, they were all at the game.Yes. They lined up and tried to draw Dallas offices and when it didn't work they punted.
After I posted this I see someone has already addressed it.
