I was crying for them to go for it on that final 4th down. A FG gives the lead, but Seattle had it to get back in range in a minute. They needed to go for it, against the logical, to get the TD or run out the clock and secure a victory.
Of course Romo couldn't hold a ball under the pressure anyway.

What a crazy, crazy game! I don't think I've cussed my TV so much in my life. And I'm a Seahawks fan!!
Footballs bounce funny you know.
Originally posted by CoconutOK spud, both teams had their chances. Both teams had their miscues. Seattle had more overall yardage, more time of possesion, and kept Turdell Owens out of the game. Among other things.

You little prick.
Ok.... Anyway....
Romo looked bad in his presser... just really let down about himself. I hope he springs back next year.
I've got a small feeling that deep down Drew Bledsoe sighed a bit of reliefe that he doesn't have a chance to get another ring while sitting the bench.
Romo, relax... you're young.

Yeah Dallas had their chances and only luck really kept them in it from halftime until the last Dallas drive. Without that nice, clutch kick return on special teams, Dallas would have been blown out. In the first half the teams were evenly shi . . . (bad), but Seattle was much better in the 2nd half.
Originally posted by telerionWhat luck kept them in it? The luck of holding after a crap interference call in the end zone? The luck of a heads up play by Terrence Newman tipping the ball to his own teammate? Oh ... those things aren't luck.

Perhaps you could say it's lucky that the Seattle player stepped on the line to make the fumble a safety rather than a touchdown, however, seattle went on to score a TD after the safety punt, giving them the lead, while an original TD would have only made it tied. The bounces and the calls were going against Dallas, not for them. The biggest play was when Witten couldn't quite get over the first down marker, because like I said, even a FG at that point gives Seattle lots of time to get a few yards into range.
