Put yourself in McCarthys shoes. You’re playing one of the best defensive lines in the NFL. They don’t have to blitz because their front4 is so good. You lose your starting LT and RT (who are backups) in the first quarter. So you know your offense is going to struggle. So MM got desperate. It was a no win situation so he pulled out all the stops. We’re there some awful decisions made? Holy crap yes. But do you think we were going to win after all the injuries without some kind of magic? He’ll no. It was an awfully coached game but it was a game of desperation.

If that's his attitude, then he's an idiot. We were in this game, despite the early injuries. No need to get desperate when it is a close game and you still have good players. He gave his team no shot to win by pulling out all these stops. .

At first glance fans are going to say the coaching was the reason we lost this game. And they would be right. But if you take the season in totality, we lost our starting QB, our starting TE, our starting LT, our starting RT, our starting CB, our starting DT, our starting C, our backup LT, our backup RT, our starting RG, our starting LB for awhile, our backup QB for awhile, one of our starting CB’s for awhile and more. I’m sure I’ve forgotten a few. So the coaches are probably thinking what the hell, we gotta try something right? I mean there’s no doubt there were several awful decisions made by the coaches. But keep it real and look at the big picture that has been this season. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
It was a close game. They didn't need to run a fake punt inside their own 25 down 4. Not just any fake punt, a dumb *** double reverse on 4th and 10.

MM is extremely aggressive with the Cowboys backed up close to their own end zone and is extremely conservative in the red zone.
I still cant believe the ******* kicked a field goal with 5 seconds left last week. It takes 3-4 seconds to run a slant or out route.

Sounds like I missed a bad game. Family had to come first. And it was fun. We were sitting at the table, I look up and see a something flash across the window. Had to get up and look out.

Looked out a doe walked out to a tree in the back and lay down. Pretty cool to have Thanksgiving cross the yard while you're eating.

It is what it is.

This has been going on since the 90's. The 90's are far gone. If you can't see the problem at this point you are beyond saving.

Week one of the regular season:

1) #23 Thompson was a starter.
2) Crawford was a starter.
3) Steele was a starter.
4) C.Willams was a starter.

And they held onto guys that just plain suck. Saivion Smith, Justin Hamilton, and Sean McKeon have no business being on any NFL roster. So the injuries hurt , but the handling of the roster reminded me of the Garrett years all over again.

For sure, but we don't need coaches exacerbating the problem. I appreciate the aggression to an extent but some of our decisions are hard to get behind.

Yes they are the facts but other teams seemed to overcome them better than us. We are just not that goo of a football team right now.
Exactly, that’s why they’re making these Hail Mary decisions.

Nothing fixes a poorly coached and owned team!
So cut the excuses and stop being stupid!
those excuses were valid

UNTIL Tonight!

we even lost two more OL and i thought ok but its still a game but those play calls on 3rd and 1, 4th and inches and the fake punt did it for me..they lost this game on pure bad coaching decsions..

finishing 4-12, 6-10 whatever was going to happen because of injurys, i can accept, losing games over dumb play calls is 100% unacceptable..
