Nit-picking here, but after the fake punt, our delay of game, we were not granted the the split-second buffer.
Also ironic because teams have been snapping the ball way later than that all year with no call. Just be consistent. That's all I ask.

The answer is no, except for when Dak was running for his life because the pass protection was awful.

His pass protection looked way worse because he's hesitant to make decisions in the pocket right now.

Several of those plays there were players literally wide open and he failed to either see them or pull the trigger and it's not because he didn't have time. We called it out in this thread several times during the game.

And it's been an issue over and over for the past two months.

So yeah, the answer is a resounding yes.

anger ... rising


Yeah, that's a problem if he really believes that. That was an awful idea.

He says the alternative is a hail Mary from the 50. That's not true. They could have tried a couple of sideline throws first.

Just stunningly dumb.

I will say though. If they are going to do that play, Dak needs to slide earlier to make sure they have time to line up.

Where were we? I don't even remember. 40?
2nd & 1 from SF 41...we ended up at the SF 24.

Officially, Prescott was credited with the spike from the 24. So, actually, the play worked and we got the play off. McCarthy was right and could've run 5 verticals. :lol

With 14 seconds left, no timeouts, and the ball on the San Francisco 41, Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy called a quarterback draw.”

“After the game, Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that they practice the quarterback draw in that situation every week, via Ed Werder of ESPN.”

MM has to go.

McCarthy called it? I thought Moore was calling plays.

My best question:

“Is Zeke with a partially torn PCL the better option over Pollard who averages like 5+ per carry? Is that who you want out there ever, fat boy? Fat dummy. Fat ass bitch. Fat.”

I mean, Pollard averaged 3.5 YPC today. He wasn't the answer.

waste the down at the 2 minute warning.
That right there… the poor clock management we’ve seen all year long by MM. Instead of running the clock down to the 2 minute warning we ran another play , in a fuckin hurry , and wasted a down . We were in San Fran territory with 3 fuckin timeouts still !!!!! There was no neeed for that!!!! Take the free timeout , rest , regroup and think about how to win the fuckin game !!!

On 4 carries. Take out Zeke one decent run and what did he average? It was pathetic. At least Pollard has a chance to break one. Zeke's breaking one is a 9 yard run.
