Now h:e:'s claiming that his whole MO has been :yes: Seriously.Personally, I call :fro: (on the new stance).

Are you talking a straight rookie draft? If so, please post your predicted first 9 picks. (Yes, I know this is a :no: trip).

Yeah, because the way you would have called it chief, the Cowboys would have. . . uh, lost. Okay, whatever.Keep playing those averages! :mellow:

37 = sheep4 = visionariesThere's a reason that not everybody has the gut-checking decision-making chops to be a head coach in the NFL, fella. :excited:

Well, actually there is NO QUESTION about this--it is historical fact. Parcells, by calling for the field goal, set in motion a chain of events that lost the Cowboys the game. That is what it is.My point is that even without Romo's botch, it was a gutless call the demonstrated no faith in his...

This guy knows stuff.

See bolded above--I could have sworn that that statistic (teams receiving the kickoff in OT actually *lose* more often than the kicking team) was floating around somewhere.

:angry: Seems like that decision was based on "the stats", right? (Teams kicking off in OT win more often than the teams receiving). My argument seems to fly in the face of "the stats." Not sure what your point is. . .

Well, we have no idea about that. You give Holmgren a minute, a timeout, and Josh Brown and Dallas' defense to operate against--I think there is a good chance that we revisit that call, even if Gramatica's field goal was good.Edited for clarity.

Then I probably wouldn't call that play in this situation. Let's not overstate the situation here--they weren't facing the 85 Bears defense.

I see you haven't watched any Dallas games in the second half of this season.Plus, Josh Brown is money in these situations. :money:

I'm a homer, too, so perhaps that clouds my judgment. But I was yelling, "Gutless wonder!!" at the TV when the field goal team came onto the field. Sure, hindsight proved me "right," but I wouldn't have liked the call had the made the field goal or not.Parcells needs to go. I think he lost...

:wall: It's all about the call--it really is. Had the Cowboys kicked the field goal and won, with the way their defense plays pass coverage (yes, I'm talking to you, Roy Williams), with the Seahawks having a timeout, and with Josh Brown kicking--I would have counted the Cowboys as...

What site are you referring to?I like the math--that's really cool. But Julius Jones averages over 4 yards per carry, so they should have just given him the ball on that play and he easily would have scored, on average, right? :wall: That's the funny thing about numbers. . . My point is...

Put yourself in Parcells' shoes on that 4th-down call. What do you do? Take the "guaranteed" points with the field goal, and give the Seahawks the ball with one minute to go (and a timeout)? Or do you go for it, trusting that MBIII can get the 18 inches you need to either: 1) get the first...
