Michaels was thinking ahead to the fact that the best thing for the Cowboys to do was milk the clock down to a couple of seconds and then kick a game-winning field goal. Otherwise Seattle still would have had at least a minute to get into field goal range for the best kicker in the league - Josh Brown. And THEY would've won the game. I know this is all too complex for a birdbrain like you to understand.

Anonymous, what was Michae...Ow, my freakin' earwax! Anonymous, what was Michaels 1000% right about? He said (and you don't mention it) that the Seahawks <b>should</b> have handed Dallas the lead and tried to run a 1-minute drill of their own. Idiocy.<br /><br />Albeeno said it was the same situation, conundrum, whatever, as Super Bowl XXXII (Denver 31, GB 24).<br /><br />Wrong. In that case, the game was tied. In this case, Holmgren was on the lead. If it's ever advisable to tell your defense to lay down, it certainly isn't when your team is leading.<br /><br />If anything, I'm giving Al the benefit of the doubt that he had a senior moment and simply didn't know the score.<br /><br />I'm basing that partially on his comment that Parcells was now "almost compelled" to kick the FG. At that point, Madden's tone was 'What the hell are you talking about? Get your head out of your ass, All. There's not a choice here.'dhorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05757994906802578834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1677035137556885166.post-59458063284237270572007-01-07T02:50:00.000-06:002007-01-07T02:50:00.000-06:00Goofball --- Michaels was 1000% right!

I just looked and no one in the shots on TV is calling for one. About the only action is a Seahawk yelling at the official that tried to gift us the win with the generous spot and that guy telling the Seahawk to shut up. A few times.<br /><br />Holmgrem probably isn't smart or sure enough that if he calls a timeout and there is a booff review, he gets the option of taking the timeout back. I'm not sure, but I think that's the case. I don't know why he wouldn't call timeout, but he didn't.<br /><br />If you were wondering, I never, not once thought this one was in the bag. I looked at the bag after Seattle failed on 4th and goal at 20-13, but never opened or even touched the bag. Then after the Glenn play I didn't need Al to tell me all the ways the Cowboys could lose this game.<br /><br />I don't think Romo dropping the ball was one of the ones I thought of. I was thinking Grammarian would push it right, or he'd make it but then kick it off OB again and a couple of coverage screwups later Jawsh Brown would win it with a chippy.<br /><br />As wacky as it went, and the fact we got the punt at the 50, I allowed myself a flicker of hope. You know, just so I could get all pissed off again. I think Glenn's position was poor on the Hey Mary, but that's a tough call.<br /><br />What a clusterbleep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
