This is like asking if Tim Wakefield has lost his fastball.Has Mike McCarthy lost his fastball?

And anyone blaming the ref is dumber. Do you all think this is soccer?
Dak started his slide at the 25.It seemed to me that the problem was that the ref moved the ball back a yard. Why did he think the spot was a yard back?
Old Tommy sitting in his rocking chair with Giselle on his lap laughing hysterically.
They don't. It just seemed funny that the ref was arbitrarily just putting it down without looking at the line judge or anything.Why do the cowboys get to decide where the spot is?
Good point. I don't think it was the ref's fault, you have to account for that time if you're going to keep the clock running, but it was just kind of funny how it happened.He was doing them a favor. It was like three yards back.
I think the ball slipped out of his hand the first time. It MAYBE cost a second, but I don't think the Cowboys were only 1 second away from getting that ball spiked.It was a dumb play call knowing the situation. The lineman got in formation and slowed down the ref which didn't help. But then he triple tapped the ball on the ground. It was completely arbitrary spotting and the 6 inches didn't matter for the final hail mary
The triple touch and not getting up there more efficiently annoys me. If we are doing what is 'good for the game' - like ignoring whistles mid play - then give them a second back.
Or if dak slides 5 yards earlier, like he was probably told to do. (Still a suboptimal call....)Love that people are blaming the official, as though the Cowboys get to spot the ball themselves. Maybe they get the ball spiked if they hand the ball to him and let him do his job.
I think because he knew the clock was low and he just wanted to get it spotted without even looking for the line judge’s spot to get the Cowboys a chance to clock it.It seemed to me that the problem was that the ref moved the ball back a yard. Why did he think the spot was a yard back?

Brady caught them with his 35th playoff win today as well.Dallas is now 3-12 in their last 15 playoff games.

“We got screwed.”
Going to hear this for 8 months from him.
Yeah it theoretically would have worked if Dak slides 5 yards sooner but the cost/benefit analysis isnt there. You’re now getting 1 more play from the 30 yard line instead of maybe 3 heaves from the 40? I like the 3 heaves from the 40 much better.The play made no sense and had little chance of success for a very marginal reward. Why not take 2 shots into the end zone.
Thats Kevin Harlan on a routine 2nd and 8.Tony Romo’s total number of words spoken in that last 1:30 or so has to have set some sort of record.
This is just performance art.View: https://twitter.com/RealSkipBayless/status/1482882154610638848?s=20

Actually, Skippy, it IS the Cowboys fault. So lay on the fix-o-dent and chew on that one for awhile.View: https://twitter.com/RealSkipBayless/status/1482882154610638848?s=20

I don't think it's better than 2 from the 50.Is one chance from the 25 better than maybe 3 from the 40?
Unless McCarthy builds "we're gonna commit a penalty anyway" into his thinking.Yeah it theoretically would have worked if Dak slides 5 yards sooner but the cost/benefit analysis isnt there. You’re now getting 1 more play from the 30 yard line instead of maybe 3 heaves from the 40? I like the 3 heaves from the 40 much better.
Shouldn’t the umpire have been in the defensive backfield for the two minute drill?I think the ball slipped out of his hand the first time. It MAYBE cost a second, but I don't think the Cowboys were only 1 second away from getting that ball spiked.
Generally we tell teams that if the ball is dead with more than 10 seconds on the clock, they should expect to get another play. With less than 10 they probably won't. The crew went about as fast as humanly possible here and the the play didn't get off, it's not fair to the 49ers to essentially give the offense a timeout and reset the clock to 1 second because the U didn't get there as fast as Usain Bolt might have.
Because the line judge on the Cowboys’ sideline marked the progress of the last play precisely on the 25 yard line. The down judge just moved it to the 24 from the 23.5, which is where the Cowboys set themselves up. If the down judge deserves any criticism, it’s for not moving the Cowboys back to the 25.It seemed to me that the problem was that the ref moved the ball back a yard. Why did he think the spot was a yard back?
I mean isn't it actually sarcasm, when he said the ref should be following Dak at a full sprint?This is just performance art.
It’s a miracle he got to the playoffs. But he did get there.If you guys haven't had the pleasure of watching Big Ben much this season, he is REAL bad these days. He's a statue and his arm is shot. Not quite swan song Manning bad, but close.
This will be the Steelers only chance of staying in this game.Wow great defensive series for PIT there.
That's been their offense all season. Ben just is no real threat past 10 yards any longer.Pitt offense has run 5 plays and they have like 2 yards.
I like your enthusiasm. Only three teams ran for fewer yards than the Steelers this year. Harris is a beast, but the OL is raw and not all that good, and the OC is just plain bad.Pittsburgh's pass rush and running game give them a puncher's chance in this game. Need to control the game with Harris and turn the pass rush loose and hope to force Mahomes into a couple of bad turnovers, which he's capable of.
Yeah, Shawn, we are all blissfully unaware of what that blowhard thinks but for you sharing it with us periodically.Not if you don’t listen to him.
