Has anyone actually seen Caldwell talk into his headset at any point today?

Ok, I turned away from the Lions game in disgust (a common practice throughout my life) at the pick. Then I come back and it's a TD to Ruddock?
What'd I miss?

went prevent defense, no blitzes so Stafford actually had time to throw without a defender in his grill.
EDIT: oh that pick- went to review and the ball hit the ground before Weddle secured it so it was an incomplete pass and Lions kept possesion.

but I swear, Stafford has an IQ of about 15

his arm. Whether his brain understands when to interject is unknown. He thinks he can make any throw into any window.

The clock would have stopped anyway, so no harm done.
But this? Just brutal.

They're going to talk about the decision to throw on third down and not run clock, but as far as I'm concerned the decision to kick the field goal was just as bad.
Even in the worst case scenario where you were absolutely certain you weren't going to score, it would be a choice between forcing them to:
-drive 99 yards for a game-tying field goal or game-winning TD, or
-drive 72 yards for a game-winning TD.
I don't think that's any worse than a wash, and that's not even considering the fact that (1) if you're thinking of it this way you definitely run clock on third down, so they would have had 30 fewer seconds for the drive, and (2) in the real world you have a chance of scoring on fourth down.

on 3rd and run on 4th. It would have taken 50 seconds off the clock and Dallas would have had to start inside the 5!

It doesn't matter whether you run on 4th--the clock stops for the change of possession either way.
But you have to run on 3rd, and you have to go for it on 4th. Some of these game-theory discussions are situation dependent, but not this one. You could take a knee twice and come out better than what they did (not that I'm suggesting that's a good idea, it just shows how bad the decision they made was).
