McCarthy is Awful

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I always find these takes amusing. Distilling the evaluation of a head coach down to the personal anxiety one experienced at the end of a game. A game we won makes it even better.

Your part of problem, 25 years sucking and we should just be happy, humm heck no

Im part of the problem cause the 2021 Dallas Cowboys got a win and is 1-1 on the season...... sure thing clown.

Most idiotic thing i heard is somehow me being happy about a win has any bearing on what the Dallas Cowboys have done in 25 years. Go sit at the kid table while adults talk. Don't speak unless spoken too, punk

RJ Ochoa mentioned hitting on 18 and getting a 3 is a great result, but a stupid decision.
Putting the game on a 56 yard FG when there was plenty of time to get closer was a great result. But it still was a stupid decision.

The only mismanagement I noticed on the last drive was the lack of urgency in getting one last play in to get more yards for Greg. It's as if the players were completely unaware of the dwindling time left on the clock.

Other than that, I liked the attitude and approach of the drive. The gameplan was no matter what, we weren't going to leave this game to the defense. The Chargers were not going to get the ball back without a stop. We were either going to kick for the win, or turn the ball over on downs. Taking our defense completely out of the equation.

They might have overdid it in draining the clock, which was clearly in reaction to what happened @ Bucs, but it worked. Our best bet in close games is to live and die on offense. After all these years, we should all know our defense ain't closing a damn thing. This actually applies to most defenses in the modern NFL, but especially us.

We won.

Garrett won a lot of games in Dallas , that doesn’t mean he was doing a good job. I have the same feeling about MM as I had about Garrett. I always feel that there are a lot of coaches that could do a better job.

No, analytics are not a joke. They are the future of coaching.

Not analytics, Mike McCarthy analytics. He's like the guy trying to learn how to play Xbox with his grandkids.

First the play call sucked, any decent coach calls plays designed to both move the ball but also stop the clock at that point. Second, to not get at least one more play is inexcusable.

 

[jnday]

No anger and misery, just stating facts. Fact is he’s not too bright and almost lost the game. Clock management is one of the most important things. Brady and belichek made a living off it. MM is terrible at it and is not a good head coach anyways

Rodgers said that MM had the lowest football IQ out of all the football people in the league. Maybe he was right?

Time management was an issue but they ended up winning so he’ll get to sweep that under the rug pretty quick. My biggest issue with Magic Mike is him being talked into stupid special teams calls by Fassell. Every week Fassell convinces him to allow something stupid to take place. This week it was the ridiculous punt block call that caused the running into the kicker penalty. Dallas had all the momentum sucked out of them after that point. I think Dallas blows the game wide open had they fielded a standard punt return and got the offense back on the field.

Chargers clock operator cheating

 

[JoeKing]

Pee-wee level Clock management

In a win, this is your complaint?

They also could of had a turnover or a penalty that would have taken them out of field goal range. To say they were stupid when they won is stupid.

 

[Zman5]

Fat Mike must have been hungry. He wanted to just get it over with so he can get back to the dozen donuts he bought before the game.

 

[Mr_437]

He brings the value meals.

 

[Verdict]

McCarthy managed the final 2 minutes horribly, but if you're the Chargers how do you lose on a last second field goal holding 3 timeouts? Just awful management on both sides.

That’s a better question. That actually reminds me of Garrett.

 

[Verdict]

I agree he only won in Green Bay because of Rodgers, he is much worse then JG

No. He’s just not. lol.

 

[Verdict]

Watch enough games and you'll see just about every coach make these dumb mistakes. Not belichick but pretty much everyone else.

He will blow one every once in a while too.

 

[doomsday9084]

Let's be honest, a good coach wouldn't let Jerry tell him who to play, where and when. Good coaches tend to be control freaks. The Dallas Cowboys are somewhat trapped into these mediocre coaches as a result.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

That was a disaster at the end but I'm surprised Dak doesn't get any heat for it. A 40 mil QB should handle the situation better than that even with no help from the bench.

At least I have faith they'll fix this problem instead of repeating it over and over like Garrett did.

 

[Bullflop]

Mike McCarthy may not be Bill Belichick but he's, at least, not the confused putz that Jason Garrett had been for a decade. He's now promoting far better assistants and talent than what JG did for such an extended period of time. He appears to adjust to his mistakes, whereas Garrett didn't. This is just Mike's 2nd year and this team's progress can't be denied. I'd venture to say he's adjusted to his mistakes quite admirably. Let's not allow JG's endless failings to render us hopelessly negative about an impending recovery. That's going on with far too many of us, here. Let's just get with the program, folks!
