Giants 20 Cowboys 19

Its been done what...once ever?

 

Right, which means there really isn't a ton of pressure on Bailey to make the kick. Why not give him a shot at least?

He forced him inside, obviously, but he did not physically force him to stay inbounds. Even if the FG was out of reach, they could have attempted a Hail Mary.

 

Difference between winning and losing is how teams convert 3 points into 7. Despite dominating the time of possession, when the Giants got close they scored TDs, the Cowboys did not.

He was forced inside by a defender. Getting out of bounds wasnt guaranteed. He should have tried, but the play call was bad imo.

Once he went in, he was done. Too many defenders around. His only hope was to run straight out, but DRC cut him off. If he ran straight out it would have to an NFL record kick to win it.

 

You're second point is a great one. The Giants WON because they scored touchdowns. Their defense would bend, but didn't break.

 

While Dak was calm and impressive, he completed less than 60% of his passes and had 0 TDs.

 

The Giants shut down the run game too.

I was impressed with Dak. I think Dallas will be decentthis year.

 

Getting out of bounds wouldn't have guaranteed anything.

 

Completely agree.

Agree on all points again.
