I actually really liked this call. It was so NOT Garrett it felt GREAT! In the end I wish we had it back, not really.

We only lost by 3 and we lost a defensive leader, we lost an offensive lineman, and we lost our tight end, missed a field goal, and had a referee call a bogus interference call on a game altering play at the end of the game!! Now do you feel so bad about the loss?

For what its worth Dak's response about the play call was that he loved that the coaches put it in the players hands.

I liked the aggression. There was still plenty of time to win that game.

Hindsight will always be 20/20.

I liked the call. It sucks we missed it but if we would of gotten it. I think the game would of been ours.

What’s funny to me is I don’t see ANYONE talking about the fact Schultz dropped the pass that would’ve given them the first down - went right through his hands and he was either right at the sticks or extremely close.

Cmon man stop it - it was a stupid call.

Yeah but Schultz is on the practice squad on 90 percent of NFL teams. Amari taking that beating from Ramsey and losing the ball is a different story.

He definitely didn't step up in Jarwin's absence.

He was trolling all the people that call him MM

He is made people cant take an extra two seconds to type McCarthy

It’s a horrific call in 4th qtr not tying the game up. Especially when we’d struggled scoring.

and they failed, Just maybe the last coached experienced it enough

I have complained for years about Garrett's conservative style. I can't sit here and rip McCarthy for being aggressive. I think he should have taken the 3 given this was a road game but I can't get on him for it.

except you used it, for years with the other coach

The last coach wasn't a really good coach. Eventually that reality will set in for you. Who knows if McCarthy will be good enough.

But your constant desire to defend Garrett by essentially arguing that coaching doesn't really matter is hilarious.

lol...you can admit a mistake, you take the sure 3 to tie, and give yourself more a chance with a tie game, you D was struggling.

Hey Mike. Welcome to ridiculous calls going against your receivers at the end of tight games.

get used to it. Plan for it. Overcome it

Theres the Garrett apologists! Right on cue.

At least the current staff made adjustments in the second half and had us in a position to win. Garrett would've played for the tie.

Its not that i hate the call

but in no way do you go for it knowing your defense has let the rams move the ball between the 20s ALLLLLL night

It was dumb. He only did it because he wanted to be cute and been seen as a ‘fearless genius’
