How does Geno not throw it up?

He's a puss. Didn't want to take the hit. So he threw it away on 4tg down

Seattle sucks, but the refs didn't help.

Wow.  What amazingly bad play calls by Seattle on every 4th down down the stretch by Seattle.    Does that mean Dallas is lucky?  

Yes. Dallas is always lucky to beat a winning team.

Might have seen the best two teams in the NFC play tonight.

I don't have to give Seattle any credit. They fing suck

And now they're sitting at a -26 point differential. Lol how the hell did they end up with a winning record at all?

The Eagles are by far the best team in the NFC. The clear takeaway after watching the conference each week.

I appreciate Hurts that much more after that travesty. 

Eagles are miles better than both of these teams.

Seattle showing the fighting spirit of a limp handshake there

Dawg please go root for another team oh my god it is so insufferable reading your posts

What kind of NFL QB just throws it away on a game ending 4th down just to avoid a hit? That's so weak.

Not by far better than 9ers

Geno smith returned back to what he has been most of the year the last 12 mins of that game. 

I’ll take a bs win…3 games in eleven days. Screw it. It’s a W in the standings. Keeps them in the 5th seed.

I’m surprised the Seahawks didn’t try to run a delayed handoff on third down. I don’t think cowboys would’ve expected it. I get no timeouts and running. But if you get the first you get a new set of downs. Spike it and you still have plenty of time to go under 50 yards and probably around 45-50 seconds. Getting a first down was most important in that situation and was plenty of time if they did do that and spike it. 

Anyone scared of that Dallas defense now? 35 points to frickin Geno Smith. 🤣🤣🤣

No but that offense is a real worry! That offense is firing.

This is sarcasm right?

I don't want to hear any Cowboy fan talk about luck, refs, missed fgs, or dropped passes. This game had it all lol

For Carroll and seattle, i don’t think it’s that far fetched. Actually seen seattle do it in the past under Pete Carroll. I’ve also seen teams do it that situation being 2 yards or less and close to the same field position (around 1 min needing just 1-2 yards and no timeouts). With a 1:15 left, getting the 1st down is the most vital part of that drive and getting a new set of downs. Time was an issue but not as much as failing to keep the drive alive and running out of downs. And Dallas pass rush was just trying to get up field (ran a zero blitz twice i believe) and no expectation at all of a run 

I’ve seen teams employ it and it actually goes for big gain due to the element of surprise with how opponents are pass rush/play call isn’t expecting run. It blows up in your face if you lose yardage or don’t get the first. That’s a risk. However judging by the defensive calls Dallas made and what their pass rushers were doing the last 3 downs, i don’t think they remotely would’ve seen it coming. Whether it would work or not is unknown but i don’t think it was out of the realm for Carroll to run that play in that situation. He has done it before.
