anybody see NFL Network the gameday overtime?
prime and LT literally said terrance williams cost dallas the game!?!?!
are these two dudes smoking crack or what?
He got TACKLED at the 40, if he immediately ran out of bounds when he caught it he would have been out around the 45-50 this would have made for a 60+ yarder...
1. yes he could maybe make it but lets not act like its guaranteed
2. that didnt COST them the game...like wtf. no credit for the giants stopping the golden boy zeke? no love for the giants WRs?
man i am SO HAPPY when we beat dallas, it literally is so much sweeter because of the constant blowathon that these networks have for Dallas
Fuck em, we fucked em right in their house.
So while it is ridiculous to say Williams cost them the game, I think he would have had a shot at making the FG from the 45 yardline
and I loved it. I think they would have tried a hail mary,
but with Bailey, who knows?
That dude is just automatic, him, Tucker and Gostkowski
are the three great kickers in the league. That is my opinion.
watch this for the answer on the out of bounds fiasco - ( New Window )
Not saying it cost them the game, but it did cost them another play. Bonehead play.

That would mean his point of progress would still have been in bounds, and the clock would continue to run.
We scored more...

Look at DRC's feet. He was decelerating when Williams looked upfield. All Williams had to do was take 2 or 3 steps and dive.
Stupid of them to blame Williams.
So, DRC made the right call. Williams should have gone to the sideline and even though it would mean Bailey's attempt would have been 5 yards longer, that is the only chance they had. Plus, Bailey has the leg to make that.

would be contact with DRC, forcing him backwards and out of bounds.

If Williams had it in his mind to to go straight out, yes. But he caught it with a plan to plant and face the D. Both were decelerating. Probably could have made it while maintaining forward progress.....
The final point is that DRC played that catch perfectly....

No the final point being that Williams could have made it out of bounds AND his plan should not have been to face the defense. That is why it was a bonehead play. He should have known his job was to advance the ball a few yards not score a TD.

this was not an option for him. It was 3rd down and he caught the ball well short of the 1st down. There was not time to get the field goal team on the field if he did that. His only option was to try and head for the sticks along the sideline, but DRC would have cut him off. Candidly, once he was caught in the middle of the field, he should have tried to lateral the ball.
This was my take as well. He probably could have made the sideline, but even Dan Bailey isn't automatic from 63 yards out.

No way he gets out of bounds. DRC was right there. Williams had no other option other then to give himself up and maybe then Dallas could clock it and try what would have easily been a 60 yard plus field goal and given Bailey's leg who doesn't know whether he makes it or not.

He did not need to head for the sticks. A first down was not the goal as there was very little time. It was 3rd down, they would've/should've/could've kicked/Hail Mary on 4th down. The argument isn't that Williams cost them the game but that he cost them an opportunity for another play.
Six. So was it possible? Sure, but people are acting as if it would have been automatic and Terrence Williams cost the Cowboys a certain victory, which is ludicrous.
+1.. although this year he seems to have a good DL helping him out.. Snacks and Vernon looked really good yesterday..

Because practically nobody tries 62 yard FG's. And they don't have Bailey kicking.
