Terrible non challenge even in a tight game..upstairs had a chance to see it hit the ground several times.

You have a chance to win the division it's a MUST challenge on 3rd and 16, with the play getting them into FG position in a one score game. WORST NON-CHALLENGE I've ever seen

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.

All I know is that after Washington wins tonight, we’ll all look back at this loss for exactly what it was.

A blessing in disguise.

You guys really think Philly was going to go all-out to hand Dallas a division title?
:laugh:

As someone else posted at the end of the second half thread.
A microcosm of the season and this guy's ineptitude.

You got the balls to call a fake punt inside your own 40 yd line but not enuf guts to challenge a call that most likely was the pivotal/game deciding play of the game?

Yeah, as I've clearly stated, Imnot a fan for many reasons. This is another one.

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.

The coach can also buy more time for his booth by calling a timeout.


This is on him... there was no downside to taking another look, by calling a timeout or throwing the flag.

Completely inexcusable. I don’t care about injuries, he should be fired for his decision to hire Nolan and his poor decision making all season.

I can give you millions of reasons he won’t be fired

You cant see the multiple angle replays on the sideline. Someone in the booth made the call - who normally calls these for us?
