Aikman: "why do you throw that pass when Zeke just ran the ball for 8yds?"

[Sarge]

On a second and one and another chance to get a first down, while getting single coverage on Dez, it was perfectly a fine play call..

It's about the clock stopping if/when the pass falls incomplete. Inexcusably pathetic play call.

 

[Bleu Star]

I don't believe in playing like a girl.. if you are gonna play prevent on their side then it's your fault as a coach.. not the players..

Then they put Jones in single coverage on a WR, when they just had to play the FG..

So they went Jekyll and Hide..

So you don't believe in winning. Alright. I think we're done. GG

 

[khiladi]

Sorry dude, that was an awful play call.

You run clock in that situation, especially when your D sucks.

Acting like good teams don't do it is ridiculous.. point is to score when you have opportunities..

We should have played prevent and rushed basically three the whole time

 

[JBell]

This isn't even a hindsight is 20/20 moment.

Just an absolutely awful playcall that cost us the game.

I hope we keep losing at this point if it means we fire Garrett.

 

[Qbert]

In case you didnt know, Linehan calls the plays.

Garrett can veto any call he wants

If you run clock, game over.

 

[StarMan2112]

That play call was idiotic. We should be 4-1. But last two weeks we made just enough mistakes to find a way to lose.

 

[peeblesri]

Too many instances of this—///mismanagement he has to go!!! He is not learning from his mistakes!!!!!!!!!!

How did it cost them the game they scored right after that?

 

[Mr Cowboy]

it was as stupid call. Garrett needs to ensure that the ball is not thrown in that situation. Nothing good will come of it, even if he scores. that leaves even more time for Rodgers.

I know Garrett will throw Dak and everyone else under the bus. But I'm so tired of this clown!

 

[MRV52]

Can we get Troy or Romo for head coach. Even with 8 concussions Aikmen is brighter and smarter than Linehan and Garrett.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

If you run clock, game over.

Even with all of our penalties and negative plays we had today? Guaranteed to score? I get kneeling at the 1 with first and goal but that was from the 11.

 

[JBell]

How did it cost them the game they scored right after that?

If they run the ball, they eat up more clock....that gives Rodgers 40 seconds less time to work with.

 

[Nova]

You better believe that Dez was in Linehan’s ear.

That's some strong speculation there... Dez seems pretty comfy with his role and cares more about winning.

I can see Dez not having the awareness, but it's the coaches job to be smart there even if that was true.

 

[Don Corleone]

Garrett even iced our own kicker once, negating a FG that was already made. We wound up losing that day...

 

[kumizi]

Everybody with a brain thought the same thing.

That’s the thing. I can’t believe some posters are getting mad at the second guessers. Every sane person watching that game was thinking that same thing. Troy even said it with like 7 minutes left in the game.

 

[khiladi]

If you run clock, game over.

If you score..

 

[peeblesri]

How did it cost them the game they scored right after that?

Because the clock keeps running. It’s not just about scoring there!

 

[kumizi]

If you score..

Playing like a girl?

So you’re both dumb and sexist. Not much discussion needed here.

Why do people think Garrett calls the plays anymore?

He's effectively a figure-head coach...
