Well that’s the point

Kicking the FG had a higher % of being made then making the 4th down & scoring a TD

And that’s why getting the deficit down to 13pts had merit

Regardless…. 49ers got a little lucky at the end there

It’s not, the point is the Cowboys win probability decreases kicking that FG

And if we wanna go further a TD on that drive even missing the 2 pointer would’ve set up the Cowboys to be able to tie or win the game with a FG at the end

The FG was uncertain though…..just like the first down and TD.

You went from needing 2 scoring drives to three. You decreased your chances at winning.

Again,
making the FG had a higher % than making the 4th down AND then scoring a TD

And even with 2 TDs & 2pt conversions,
THAT’S ONLY TO TIE
So they’d still have needed a 3rd scoring drive to win

serves them right

should have taken 2 shots to the end zone

- homiedclown


Instead they called an inside QB keeper with no time outs. Bold strategy, cotton

2 TDs with XPs is easier to get than needing 2 conversions

There is no point.

You put yourself in a bigger hole kicking the FG.

Kicking the FG means you still need two scores.

Failing the fourth down attempt and kicking the FG are the exact same outcome.

No, bc needing the 2pt conversions makes that outcome tougher to achieve
And that would only have been to TIE the game

If Dak executed it right or the fat offical had moved his ass they would have had one shot from the 35 for Dak to blow it.

Dak's noodle arm couldn't come near the end zone from where they were.

How about don’t run a QB sneak with 10 seconds to go…..

Not the officials fault he has to let everyone get set. It’s the rule.

they never brought it up

but when the cowboys scored with 8 plus minutes left, I thought they should have gone for 2

that would put them down 5 and if the 49ers got a field goal, they still could have tied it with 1 score instead of needing 2

of course if they did not make the 2, could still tie it with extra point if they held the 49ers on downs

They'll probably end up with more turnovers than the PIT offense gets 1st downs.

Still plenty of time left. It wasn't gutsy, but it wasn't the wrong call either. And they ended up with a chance to win in the end, not just tie.

Pitt’s best chance to win is a lower scoring game imo
Don’t think they can win a shootout
