For most fanbases, what happened there at the end would probably stun some fanbases. But it shouldn’t surprise ours. We live for moments like that. We thrive in incompetence in moments like that. It takes a special level of undiscipined, inept, stupid play to blow a 1st and goal from the 6 yard line with more than enough time to score and the game on the line. Roles reverses, does anyone doubt that Philly wouldn’t have scored on us in that situation? Of course they would have. They aren’t as dumb a team as we are.
A false start. Then your RT gets whipped to be compounded by your vet QB deciding not to chuck the ball away and live for the next 3 plays from the 11. Then chaos sets in and your QB costs you 5 more yards on a delay, to then not throw into the endzone, but rather short of it……….. by 5 yards……… as the clock runs out.
If you had told a fan of another team that’s how they lost a game, they’d say you made it up. You tell a Cowboys fan that’s how they lost a winnable game against a good team, and pretty much all of us would say, "Yeah, that sounds about right…………."
