Replacement Officials Bad...How About Players?

These professional football players are paid in the millions.  Here is how the Ravens / Cowboys match up unraveled in the last 50 seconds of the game.

  1. Cowboy receiver fails to catch ball that strikes him directly in the shoulder pad to convert a two point conversion to tie the game.
  2. Cowboys direct an on side kick and the ball rolls through the legs of an on side Raven defender.  Cowboys recover.
  3. Ravens DB sticks his hand in the face of Cowboy wide out committing pass interference putting Cowboys very close to field goal range.
  4. With the next play,  Cowboy yardage extent disputed by same receiver that failed to catch 2 point conversion thereby running such time off the clock that one more play prior to long field goal attempt becomes impossible prior to final kick.
  5. Missed field goal attempt.
Poor execution everywhere.  Very glad I only started watching with 2 minutes left in the game.
