yeah that was bizarre. I remember telling my dad, who was over at my house watching the game with us, “why the hell would we take a safety here? I know it would run time off the clock but there’s a lot of opportunity for something to go wrong”.
Romo giving props to the play call on 4th and inches putting Gabe Davis in motion to push Allen past the marker. Pretty cool (something I didn’t catch when watching on Sunday).
oh, @Rico.
remember, the Packers play the Redskins this Sunday. If they lose -that- game too, they’ll be even more pissed. BUT, it doesn’t really matter. We’re gonna beat them anyway.
that’s what I thought at first too, but the explanation by the rules dude made sense. Receiving team initiated the contact (right in front of the guy signaling for a fair catch.)
