Schultz made two mistakes, obviously, but Dak made a mistake not clocking it at the 17 second mark. Instead, he hurried a deep throw pass out of bounds to stop the clock at 10 seconds.  That play took 7 seconds instead of maybe 1 to two seconds.

On the last play, I would've thrown a 10 yard out to the bottom of the screen.  The WR has two blockers and SF is playing about 25 yards off the LOS.  That would've put the ball between the 35 and 40, probably with 1-2 seconds left.  And Dak should be able to Hail Mary the EZ from there.  Instead, the tried that last gasp catch and a thousand laterals that literally went nowhere.

Bad clock management (shocker, right).

Probably a top 5 coach in the NFL right now and easily a top 3 offensive mind.  But I would like to ask him whether he coached Elijah Mitchell to go down in bounds after he got that first down.  Should Mitchell have known?  Probably.  But end of game clock management decisions should be decided by the coach, not the player - see our own little "get down" moment against Seattle.  Seems like it wasn't communicated by Shanahan to the offense and could have been disastrous. 

This game was one of the best examples of "who do I root for?".
Seriously, it's like 'do you want a bowl of poop for dinner, or would you like a bowl of puke'?

I still can't get used to rooting for an AFC team over a NFC team.
So, I'm good just watching the games, enjoying some good play, and not having to erupt in a rage when a defense allows a 3rd and 15 conversion.
Or when a dumbass gets a PF penalty after a play has ended.
Or when a big ugly whiffs on a block.
Or when the QB can't see wide open WRs...

I couldn't openly root for SF to win but my hatred of all things Dallas runs very very deep so I hoped they would win.

As someone else said I think if Philly plays to 3/4 of their ability they will be SF.  I think the going in to Philly is going to be rough for Purdy.

As for Dallas losing I love any misery that Jerry Jones gets and I won't have to listen to ESPN slurping the Cowboys all week.
