Yeah...I'm just wondering how they were anywhere near the running for worst in the league. Browns, Bengals pretty much cover that list.

Right? Should be no play that wasn't quick throws into the end zone. Or just kick a FG and try for TD+2 after onside.

My jimmes are rustled over our kicking situation. We went 7-8-1 last year due to 3 game winning shanks by Catanzaro, would've gone 10-6 and made the playoffs without those.
We replace him with Phil Dawson and he shanks the game winner last week against the Colts, then he shanks an early one tonight that would've put us up 10-0 and completely kills our momentum.
wut do?

I can see trying to score the TD first. B/c if you miss the 2 point conversion, suddenly a FG isn't enough. So if you kick the field goal then say recover the onside kick and score...if you miss the 2 point conversion you're basically fucked there. If you score quickly with over a minute left, if you miss the 2 point conversion then...it's not over yet b/c if you recover onside kick, you know you need another TD and you still have time to do so. Kicking the field goal first might save some time, but you're locking yourselves into having to score a TD AND successfully convert for 2.
Really it was just a bad decision to throw a pass that could result in a tackle in the field of play to keep clock running. Really F'd their options.

Of course they also wasted a timeout in the 4th quarter on a terrible fucking challenge. I see going for it too, but at some point you're just asking for it only keeping 5 in to block when you haven't been dealing with it well all game.
Either way though, I'd side on just seeing if you can even get the fucking onsides back anyways.

They pull that shit next week when I'm at the game, I'm going to boo them too.
Pretty sure this is what Aryans was thinking. Get the TD now, and maybe after the on sides kick you won't ever be close enough to FG range to have to make the decision. Just start throwing hail mary after hail mary. He probably would have gone for 2 secretly hoping he didn't make it to remove the FG option entirely.

I love how people are shocked ratings were up for last night's game. Cowboys are league's biggest ratings draw. MNF in general up over last year so far, although they've actually had decent games so far compared to some of the garbage Monday night has had in recent years. Since they started letting Sunday night flex games during 2nd half of the season they get to grab majority of the good match ups.
