Twitter: McCarthy on letting the clock run down to :03

[john van brocklin]

With only 8 seconds left? lol

They had a wasted dump off pass
That should have been a pass to the end zone
And should have taken a shot with the 8 seconds.

Reviewing the thread, got many on here defending a scared coach.

Coaching to not lose rather than coaching to win is never going to work out long term.

You know it, chief!

Don't disagree on the dump off pass, although I'm not convinced that was the first option. Dak may have just been pressured and felt he had to get rid of the ball.

Admittedly they could have taken a shot to the end zone and still had time for the FG if all went well, but any glitch and we might not of got the FG. At that point neither team had scored for a quarter and a half, so I don't have a problem with the decision to be sure we got on the board again before halftime.

It was. But it was still bad clock management

It’s not bad clock management if he did it on purpose though. We just don’t like his reason.

I agree with Mike. This team was getting penalties….take the 4. Coach each opponent different. With the Niners? I don’t do that. Chargers who have struggled? Take the points. We won by 3. If Chargers take their field goals maybe they don’t lose.

I think the clock management just before the half has more to do with not having confidence in your quarterback...

I think it was the sloppiness of the game.

Incomplete trust in your QB and complete coaching failure that you haven’t practiced a play for that situation enough to have the faith in your offense to execute it.

how about lack of trust that a wrs having balls bounce of their hands, off their chests, run the wrong routes etc this whole entire year has been the lack of run game , the offensive line is pretty bad at times complete inconstancy, Penalty's everywhere!!! They might have allowed to been knocked back into dak had bump fumble or terrible play.. has zero to do with the quarterback .... DAK has not been the issue this year. Mark that down hater troll!!!. in fact he carried this team last night, he was the leading passer and rusher from both teams. BOTH

5 sack could have easily been 10..seriously Dak running for his like 2 secs and run spin slide, do everything he could get out of that dirty pressured pocket..

While all that stuff may also be the case, it still comes down to not trusting your QB to make a play or throw it away if it’s not there. He makes too much money for that to be the case.

LOL

 

[Kingofholland]

Mike probably remembers tbe game we ran out of time and just played it safe. They absolutely should have taken 1 shot though.

It's still bad clock management regardless. He could have had one more play. If he called a timeout after the Gallup catch they would have had enough time where they need not worry about the clock at all.

and i'm telling you that's not what mike McCarthy was thinking... so i'm telling you you're wrong you're very wrong. you're way off base trying to put read the mechanics on MM mind, lmao.,

Prescott carried us as a team last night. MM has plenty of trust in him, everyone else NOPE!

take that nonsense somewhere else, its not landing

But he did it on purpose. If he wanted an extra play he would’ve called timeout after the Gallup catch. If he’s content with a field goal then it’s not bad clock management. I don’t agree with it. I call timeout and I go for the touchdown. But if he didn’t trust his team which he said then he played it smart. We just don’t like it. To me bad clock management is when you have no idea what’s going on and you miss out on points.

He verbatim said the team was getting penalties and didn’t trust the team. Regardless of how people feel about Dak he’s not throwing picks in the redzone. That’s not where all those picks came from last year.

Did you notice the refs were throwing flags all over the field all game long?

If we run a play with :08 and get an offensive holding its the end of the half and we dont get a chance to kick the field goal. The way the refs were calling the game that was a very real possibility.

You might not agree with the decision but that doesnt make it a bad call.

Actually, it looks like the right call considering we won by 3.

 

[jgboys1]

Just tell us you don’t trust your QB, Mike. That’s the only logical explanation

I think we have a winner!
