Wild Card Weekend game thread (non-Pats)

Once the Cowboys reached midfield they should have just maximized their throws into the end zone. Dak can get it there from that distance, what good does an extra 20 yards get you if it costs you precious time? Just chuck it three times and pray.
The ref? He was running his ass off to try to get the ball set to let them get a play off but they got in his way. The issue there was the play call.
Difficult to exercise the patience to let the ref spot the ball when your quarterback just ran up the center of the field with eight seconds on the clock.
He is the Tim Wakefield of coaches. Need a fastball to lose it.
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.
Dallas puked on their feet! Could have had enough time for 2 shots to the end zone! Would I ever be pissed if I was a Cowboys fan, but didn't they know it would come to this with McCarthy as your coach?
That was my thought too. Three long passes in that spot seem like the best potential
I was just thinking that. Take the absolute most gamethtready takes on BB after last night and ask ,"would you rather have this"?
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.
I don’t think that’s right. The side judges were standing exactly on the 25 while the Cowboys set themselves up at the 23. The ref was generous in only moving it back to the 24. If you can rewind, you’ll see this yourself.
The official was sprinting. He got there quicker than I would think. Lol cowboys spotting their own ball.
If he did, he needs Kellen Moore surgery. Or more accurately, he is about to get a Moorectomy if the media reports are accurate.
So your team loses in the wild card round of the playoffs. Would you rather...
- Have an up and coming team get BLOWN OUT in historically bad fashion to a division rival on the road?
OR
- Lose in absolutely heartbreaking and ridiculous fashion at home when you have one of the best teams in the league and are in WIN NOW mode?

SO many insane plays in that game.
Just at the end...
1. SF running a play with motion requiring a lineman to switch sides of the line before a 2 inch QB sneak (and Jimmy jumping the gun)
2. SF defense allowing the Cowboys to get to the sideline over and over. Wild.
3. QB run up the middle with 14 seconds (no one blame the ref, he was running and had to get through the O line.... never in a million years should you run that play when you need everything to go perfectly to maybe have 1 second left?). Throw 2 mini-hail marys if you can't throw a pass at the sidelines.

I mean, he’s a ref, can’t really expect him to Zeke Elliot his way through the Dallas OL without tripping a bit. Bad awareness by the Cowboys.
The reason he triple tapped was because he was trying to get them an extra play as best he could without even looking over at the line judge to see where to spot it. They actually tried to help the Cowboys. Normal administration and it is not even close I bet.
They made an idiotic call with no timeouts. They don’t get an extra play because it’s not fair that they are stupid.
No. I'm a Packers fan and was thrilled to see him leave. Our penalties have been way down ever since.
