I thought the ground couldn't cause a fumble? It looked like he was stretching the ball out when he hit the ground. Why wasn't the play dead when his knee was down? It that's not ruled a fumble would the spot of been a 1st down? It's hard to fumble in the NFL, the rules make it that way, I'm surprised there wasn't more scrutiny that he was down by contact.

I don't think they actually ruled it a fumble. He was down at the 2 and the 1st down was inside the 1.

Originally posted by YourPalChrisMalCorrect. It wasn't a fumble. He didn't get the first down. That's what made that tackle so incredibly good, and the whole play and scenerio leading up to it so amazing. Romo was about 1/2 yard short of the first down.

what struck me is that the game ended the same way as their last game of the season against detroit. tough way to lose.Russian reporters to Bobby Clarke: Can you imagine hockey without fights?

Talk about a game of inches...
the foot that just barely was out of bounds on the endzone fumble recovery.... just short of the first down that would have given them a chance to score a TD or run the clock down..... just inches short of the first down after the botched FG run.Pedro

It sure is nice to watch this kind of stuff happen to other teams besides the Eagles. We've had enough of crap like that.FRESH > cancer
I hate everything the Cowboys stand for. If you think they are America's team, then you support everything that is wrong with America. The excess, the greed, the lack of maturity, the lack of responsibility, the lack of control. - Luzinski's Gut

After watching the replay of that FG I am actually amazed that Romo didnt get the 1st down and secondly how the defender who was blocked (although by the kicker) got around the block and still made the tackle. It was just unbelievable. I actually did feel sorry for Romo for about 3 seconds then I returned to normalcy!!I miss Philly!

I didn't feel "sorry" for Romo. He wears the blue star on his helmet. No one feels sorry for Eagle players (much less Eagle fans) when fate and chance strike the collective heart of the Eagle Nation. I wouldn't celebrate the Cowboys gaffes and rejoice in their misery. No point in tempting fate.
Romo's not a bad guy, he just plays on the wrong team...

Seeing it again, it looks like Gramatica couldn't do much to block for Romo because of all the chaos. Plus, let's be real, he's probably no David Akers.
And Seattle would've still had about 1:15 left to try to get downfield against Dallas' swiss cheese secondary.
