This mindset baffles me as much as BA said he was baffled why we could not finish?

66% passing is game planned and they call a "perfect" play action pass on 4th down on the goal- Who spiked their Kool Aid?

This is just plain stupid fundamental less football! Call me a fuddy dud!

4th and 2, DAL 7 – The Cardinals call a perfect play-action pass on fourth down. Mendenhall slips into the flat wide-open for what should be an easy first down. Quarterback Carson Palmer is pressured, but the underthrown ball at Mendenhall’s feet is a disappointing end to the play. Incomplete.

Yes, Carson Palmer not completing an easy pass is baffling. The play-action was perfect because the Cowboys were over-playing run. So, a run play, even if somehow "fundamental", was not a sure thing either.

Its a TD if the QB makes a very NFL-QB caliber throw.

Not sure what your getting at SMEL.

Stanton threw a pick down there on a checkdown also. So a couple of throws these guys probably complete 9 times out of 10 happen in the redzone. Yes that is baffling.
