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.

Victory

You are the man who used to boast
That you'd achieve the uttermost,
Some day.

You merely wished a show,
To demonstrate how much you know
And prove the distance you can go...

Another year we've just passed through.
What new ideas came to you?
How many big things did you do?

Time...left twelve fresh months in your care
How many of them did you share
With opportunity and dare
Again were you so often missed?

We do not find you on the list of Makers Good.
Explain the fact!
Ah no, 'twas not the chance you lacked!
As usual - you failed to act!
