Another thing to consider the right tackle wasn't set for 1 second before the ball was snapped. He barely got his hand on the ground. That could have easily been false start and a 10 second run off game over, or off-setting penalties. I watched it over and over and I still say he wasn't set.

I thought the cards should have called the timeout?
Whisenhunt on the radio this morning said he had no idea LaBoy was down there or he would've called a timeout.

Wrong, the refs should have called an injury timeout, yet another attempt to hand Cowboys the game.
LaBoy was injured that why he couldn't get off the field.
Wrong, the refs do not call a timeout in that situation. The only time the refs calls an injury timeout is when the player stays on the ground and has to have a trainer come to his aid. It is why you see players try to hobble off the field only to be told by teammates to fall to the ground. If Laboy was injured he should have stayed or laid on the ground on the ground and he would have got the timeout call. Refs do not call injury timeouts for players limping off the field, they never have.
It was without a doubt the right call to make and the penalty was the fault of Laboy for not knowing this and for the coaching staff for not calling a timeout. It is why the booth called for a review to see if Laboy was laying on the ground or not.
As someone mentioned just think the overtime hurt the Cowgirls now that Romo got hurt. We may have actually knocked the Cowpies out of the playoffs in week 6 haha how funny would that be. The refs tried their best to screw us and we didn't let it happen thats a HUGE step for this team!
Not to beat a dead horse, but isn't the defensive offside penalty called and then the clock should keep running? It happend earlier on the same drive where the Cardinals were offsides, the cowboys got a five yard gift, but the clock continued to tick. They even made mention of it during the telecast.

Not correct. Here's what the rule book says (Emphasis added):
Quote:
Note: If the game clock was stopped for a foul by either team (whether penalty is accepted or declined), it will be started when the ball is declared ready for play; except when the foul occurred after the two-minute warning of the first half, or the last five minutes of the second half, in which case the clock starts on the snap.
Here's a thought. Had the Cowboys known Laboy was hurt they certainly wouldn't have spiked the ball. They would have ran a free play. They could have went to the end zone.
How crappy would that have been?

But there was only like 4 seconds left on the clock. They had to spike it.
I don't remember if they had any timeouts left.
Regardless, what should have happened was a timeout called from the sidelines right before the Cowboys got the snap off, avoiding the penalty and still running almost all the time off the clock.

If they'd had any timeouts, they would have called one. And as Fiasco said, the game can't end on a defensive penalty. They could have taken the shot to the endzone, and regardless of what happened, could have moved the ball five yards closer for the FG try even if there was no time left on the clock.
