:cheers: You are right. Defeat doesn't get much sweeter.

You can cheer for the Pack next week if you want an 0-2 on Seattle's record. :P

Yeah, but they only had to go 3/4ths of the field to get it (since it got returned to the 28) and they still had a full minute and a half to do so. If they Giants don't get the TD, Dallas gets the ball back on the one with way less time to get downfield, plus you have Romo pinned in the endzone.

I was quite surprised but happy to see such an emphasis on the run game. We'll see how they respond this week v. the Cardinals. I doubt that the Bears def can stop anyone right now.

And I gotta root for Seattle next week. Sorry Vigo. I was pulling for them over NE in the SB. Lesser of two evils.

Oh man that is painful. I'm not sure I could root for the Packers if they were playing the St. Louis Cardinals.

The play before that is what cost them -- If he had just taken the sack that would have taken 35 seconds off the game clock and Dallas would not have had the time to go down the field the way they did - then kicking the field goal would have made more sense but when they threw the third down ball away and left the time on the clock it would have made more sense to go for the TD rather than kick the field goal -- figure worse case they don't get it and then Dallas has to go down the entire field and probably run out of time and lose or get a field goal attempt and tie it rather than the TD and the game goes to OT.

By throwing the third down ball out of the end zone rather than taking the sack and then following up by kicking the Field goal they take out the Tie option so Dallas has to go for the goal line pass play rather than tie it with a field goal and leaves them a couple extra downs with those 35 seconds. Just bad clock management and decisions that wound up costing them the game.
