Here is that whole final sequence in seattle with Brad, charlie and Kristie on the call.

A couple things always stand out to me, the witten spot never seems like there was enough to overturn it, short or not....just didnt seem like it should have been overturned. the original spot is way better than where it was marked.....

It has always looked to me that romo had owens on the backside for a TD. It would have been a semi risky throw but if it is thrown on time I think he has him no prob....I think in 2012 thats a TD and we never have to worry about the spot.

Roy williams didnt stay in his lane on the first run by alexander, he got too anxious and jumped inside....wade and parcells both always pointed to that as much a mistake as the drop on the hold!

Finally when we finally stopped them and made them punt, there snap was bad....it was on the ground and the punter just picked it up and kicked it out of bounds...which I think was the plan anyway.. Just imagine if he doesnt come up with that and we tackle him with like a second left and kick the field goal.......

what a frigging nightmare. I listen to the games on the radio when I am watching on TV and in 2006 when the ticket had the cowboys the broadcast was like 3 seconds ahead of the tv........it was just indescribable to hear brad say the snap is bad before I saw it.......

As bad as this was, for me it wasnt as bad as the loss to the lions in the playoffs in 91...we had a 7-3 lead, aikman was in and all hell broke loose. To this day i wonder what would have happened had we got a trip to RFK.

oh well. Relive the nightmare with brad, charlie and kristie.

Aikman didn't enter that game until the blowout was well under way.

Just because I brought it up, here is the open to that 91 divisional playoff at detroit. down 7-3 and holding barry sanders to nothing into the second quarter we were in good shape. gulp.

I taped that Detroit game .. and then taped over it the following season because I never wanted to see it again.

I forgot about that Julius Jones run there for 35 yards. If only he could've shook Hamlin there.

And again, forward progress, with the angles provided, I have no idea how they move the ball/change the call on the field.

Awesome stuff, theebs. I had this game recorded for a long time but never watched it, for obvious reasons.

I can't believe Charlie Waters was doing the PBP then... I'd forgotten that.

And I totally forgot about that long Julius run, too. And then on the next play, they blocked it really well and he just ran into a pile and fell down. Looks like he was gassed from the long run before. If only Barber had been in there... But it may not have mattered anyway.

Hate to say it, but #51 made a great play to keep Witten from getting another foot. Witten was in his prime then and he didn't get anything after he caught it.

And really, WTF was Roy Williams doing when Seattle got the ball back... He actually ran across the formation to go to the fullback who of course didn't have the ball. We probably would've lost anyway, but he should've been right there to stone Alexander.

You know what, after watching the endzone replay I see a little more what he was doing. The play was blocked to follow the fullback and Alexander made a great play to cut it back. Really, Bradie was on that side and got pushed about 8 yards down the field.

Meh.
