RJ Ochoa is trying to argue it wasn't a bad call to not challenge. That's ridiculous.

Even if it's close, it's worth the challenge. The difference between 1 and a 4 point deficit is huge and worth risking one timeout when you have 3 still.

I hope WFT wins to make it moot, but he’s an idiot.

Maybe we should just make Kellen coach and decide screw or.

If he is not going to do that, what is he hired for? To watch the games from the best spot?

When you coach by Analytics and metrics you miss the obvious intuitive calls that have to be made.

And heck even with analytics it would have been the right move too.


Truly inexcusable to give points in that situation.

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.

What bothers me more. Is that he challenged the Dez catch when he was in Green Bay. And pettis scored a TD on the same play. I know the rule has changed but I mean come on.

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

And you ice the kicker as he waits for the review.

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.

It is on him no reason not to challenge it there, save time on one end anyways even if you lose challenge you save 30 seconds of clock,

You're sure NYG doesn't come down the field with plenty of time left on the clock for a GW field goal, 23-22?

Has he challenged any play? I honestly do not recall him ever challenging a play this year
