But Butker clearly seems to have practiced the play judging by his execution of it, so I have no complaints.

I'm sure the PK practices punts in case of an injury to the punter. But yeah, seems like the chance of kicking into the end zone or a shank would be a lot higher.

But tip of the hat to our future HOF kicker...

After watching Nagy snatch defeat for the Bears from the jaws of vicotry at the end of their game with Baltimore, I was relieved by the fake. So well executed.

Special Teams has been playing great. This was a perfect call at the perfect time.

Rasputin 11-22-2021 07:55 PM

it worked there for it was the right call.

I liked it. It was 52 and he just missed one from 51. I’m confident he’d have made the one from 52 but the game situation I was down.

The way the defense was playing and their offense was playing it was a good move.

Probably more important is it’s on wax. The bigger issue is it might save us 3 points later. If a team has it in their head that they may have to cover the punt they may not rush quite as hard and we might make one that is otherwise blocked.

Double win.

It was a great call, and Butker just nailed it. Makes up for him costing us four points, grr.

Deberg_1990 11-22-2021 08:31 PM

What was the point of the trickery? They trust Butker more in pressure situations more than Townsend?

Pin them back and let our defense maul them some more. Obviously.

If it was 41-31 at the time or maybe if the Cowboys had all 3 timeouts left, you would at least think twice about it.... but, the Cowboys had nothing on offense, so it was completely fine for the situation.

It was a great call. The wind was horrible.

Kill yourself reerun!!!!

Irrelevant. Punt, FG attempt, go for it…..the Cowboys were done and they knew it

ChiefGator 11-22-2021 09:56 PM

I actually would have preferred they punted the previous time, when they missed the field goal. Even then, with just over ten minutes left, I thought the smarter thing was to punt them deep. Then, when they lined up for ANOTHER attempt, I really couldn't believe it. Was happy to see it punted.

kysirsoze 11-22-2021 11:02 PM

I agree with those that would have punted except, this call made it harder to block. The cowboys special teams unit had almost blocked two punts. A blocked punt TD would given them a chance. This let us sneak a punt by them.

Rasputin 11-22-2021 11:21 PM

I was hoping for a safety afterwards get two points and the ball back but Cowboys moved the chains.

Safety after pinning them at the 2 would have been epic.
