Three timeouts plus the two minute warning. Down by eight.

Do you onside kick or hope the defense can get a stop?

Keeping in mind the Rams are averaging six yards a carry.


Think you have to onside since haven’t stopped them all night

You should go for 2 immediately. Drives me insane how coaches never do that when down by 15
That’s idiotic. If you fail it becomes a two score game and it’s over.

So much for Dallas having a good defense.

Lot of rushing yards and 30 points.....yikes.

Well I bet on the Cowboys. So I will take the blame for that.
But I also took the over.
The way games nowadays you can almost always count on 20+ points in the 4th
2 TDs is almost automatic.

What is the benefit of waiting? You should learn if you need 1 more possession or 2 as soon as possible. If Dallas goes for 2 now and misses it, they are pretty screwed. If they wait until their next score, go for 2 and miss it, they are completely screwed. You should always go for 2 as soon as possible

Think for a second. What is the difference between a 8 point game or a 7 point game. Now think of the difference between an 8 point game and a 9 point game. Figure it out yet?

Cowboys defense could not make a single stop all night

Good thing the Coach kicked it deep instead of an onsides attempt

It was the worst defensive performances of the season, and he decided to let the defense win it??

You need a 2 pt conversion at some point. It is better to know whether you are going to get it or not as early as possible. There is NO benefit in waiting.
