All you haters need to sit down. MM had issues the first two weeks, but this week he was on point. 3 vivid examples where many on here just don't get it. Let me mansplain to you.
1. 2 yard conversion at the 1 yard line. So far this year MM is pulling a page from Peterson's first year and championship year with Philly. Be aggressive always and instill 100% confidence in your offense and defense. Dallas had already completed a 4th and 2 in their own territory (be aggressive always there is nothing to lose because there is a 31 in 32 chance you aren't going to win the SB anyway, so why WOULDN'T you play to win all the time?). Kellen opts to pass to TE instead of run Zeke to the left away from the linebackers on a dive play. Dak chooses not to audible out of that pass to the run and pass fails by 1 frame of the camera review. MM made the right call. Dallas needs to believe they can get 1 yard anywhere at anytime.
2. Second 2 point conversion try. This is SIMPLE. You have nothing to gain by losing this point and everything to gain. In these situations you always go for it.
3. Call challenge at 4th and 1 at the 20 yard line. I don't know how some of you missed the brilliance here. The plan was to fake a 4th down play, see if the defense will jump offsides as offense rushes to the line, then throw the challenge at 1 second left on play clock. Again, everything to gain nothing to lose situation. Dallas didnt need that time out. It was close enough to review so why NOT try to get Carolina to jump offsides? Well done MM.
MM was on point today.
