That most likely cost this team a win and possibly a playoff appearance because the head coach was too scared to challenge a play that was clearly a close call in game time action.

The fact that he didn't want to risk a timeout in order to prevent the Giants from kicking a field goal clearly and keep it a 1 point game demonstrates Mike McCarthy is a terrible coach.

Seriously how do you not challenge that catch in that situation.

Terrible.

Bad non-challenge for sure. Not sure if he was waiting on a final word from someone upstairs or not— BUT any way you cut it— you have to be agile and nimble enough as a coaching staff to make critical calls at crucial moments.

Swing and a miss MM. Big whiff when your team needed you the most

It was a horrible decision. No doubt.

he also missed the Zeke TD last week that should have been challenged as well.

he needs to fire whoever is in the booth and telling him when to challenge.

How can you not challenge that big pass play that gifted them three points and the game. At the worse you lose the challenge and give up a time out. Way to go McCarthy you just cost your team a win. Go Cowboys

Good thing to hold on to that timeout and not take a good look. Fire this fool and the rest of this idiot staff.

I’m not saying he’s a good coach or that he did well today, but that one isn’t necessarily on him. Coaches usually rely on a team from the booth to relay to them that they should challenge. Apparently they need someone better up there.

Yea, it had nothing to do with the team not showing up for the 1st half and the Giants front 7 completely dominating the Cowboys OL.

So bad. We gave Garrett a hard time for questionable decisions. This was right up there with icing your own kicker.

This game would've been a W, and possibly an entry in the playoffs, if he made the right decision there.
