You can say great job by Butker and had he missed Lynn would be a genius, but Lynn was actually making the wrong percentage play punting it. Not like it was 4th and 15, you have a mobile quarterback to boot, get him on the edge with options and it should be a 90% at worst play. This is what separates mediocre coaches from great one.

It’s just another example of why Romo is great at his job. He regularly anticipates where the ball is going and has a great feel for the game. Lots of people are smart after the play is over but this was just another example of him making the right call on the spot.
People like us hammering on keyboards get to sound like experts after the game and act like we could coach a team. Who would have thought while he was playing that he was that smart a player.
