And you can't be up in the air with that many guys pulling at the ball and not keep hold of it. At best he needed to get to the ground underneath the tacklers. But that would have required our final TO, and then a sack would end the half. Instead, any pass should have been to the back of the end zone in places where only our guy could get it or it would go incomplete to stop the clock. That way we could hold onto the TO to save the FG attempt in the event of a sack. Poor play calling is the problem with that play.
Tony Romo said it should have been a run play, and I agree. Makes SF think about using their last TO, and they likely defend the pass more than the run in that position in any case. Even with no TO, we would've had plenty of time, even without calling one ourselves.
Thick as anything for a play call. And to top it all off, we're giving the ball to our worst receiving threat. The old 'they won't expect us doing something this stupid!' playcall. Ridiculous.
