Typical reply from you.......too simple minded. Let me spell it out for you. He will cost us a game or two down the road same as what Garrett used to do. When Garrett did it we always missed the playoffs by one game and this happened multiple times. It will happen I just hope it doesn't cost us the playoffs or a better seeding.
Insults do not make you right

I don't always agree with some of his moves, but two minutes of Coach MM saying nothing is ten times more information than the Coach Clown saying anything.

1:50 left on the clock, 2 time outs, and it's 3rd and 24. To let them burn the clock was a ridiculous decision.

It didn't matter in this game but that kind of hesitancy loses close games against better opponents.
I’m just glad we got an opponent into 3rd and 24 and I didn’t have to assume we were gonna give up a 40 yard play.

Two years ago, when it was 3rd and 24 with time running down, an opponent had us right where they wanted us.

Calling a timeout in that situation was the correct call. Forcing them to punt and trusting Dak to make plays is winning football.

Do any of you think Tom Brady would sit on the ball there? If you have concerns you can always kill the clock on offense.

In my mind, MM mismanagement the clock at least twice this year. He needs to get his head screwed on straight and learn from his errors.

I like McCarthy but did not agree with his reasoning of not calling TO. on 3rd with the clock running I had no issue of allowing it to run down then look to call TO on 4th down. It would have given Dallas a little over a min. with TO in pocket. He choose instead to take into halftime with a 13 point lead. I would also add however he had his team ready for the MNF game where they did not just win they dominated Philly and all that is being lost in this conversation.

I guess it's human nature to pick on the negatives...it's almost like passing a test with a 70.....you're happy you passes...or passing a test with an 89....you're pissed off because you should have made an A.

I disagree with the decision, but in the grand scheme of things I think it's overblown.

why was Belichick fired in Cleveland? Why was Pete Carroll fired in NE?
Oh, come on. I get it. He's a Cowboy RIGHT NOW. As soon as Moore takes his job, only then will you be able to judge him realistic.

Some of you cannot unbiasedly judge anyone that's a part of this organization until after they are no longer associated with the star.

I judge coaches the same and that is based on winning. Should McCarthy get this team to the NFC Championship or even better a SB win, do I look to fire him? No sorry I don't.
I like Moore and hope he is around for a long time but with success come opportunity, I loved having Dan Reeves as a coach in Dallas but when an opportunity came he left, same with Norv Turner.

This moron is going to cost us a game or two and then those that defend him will crawl under a rock.
Really, and if the Cowboys called their timeouts to get the ball back only to have a turnover and allow Philly to score before the half and then Philly then have the ball to start the second half that could get them back in the game if they, score what would you be whining about then??

I have no issue with the call not to use the timeouts, you were dominating the game, no reason to risk a turnover, allowing Philly to get back in the game, get to the half on a positive note

McCarthy has not impressed me one bit. The coordinators have been much more impressive than McCarthy. Those coordinators he had nothing to do with either. Moore was already here and Quinn got the job because McCarthy wanted to hire one of his buddies that couldn't even hack it a year.

McCarthy is a weak link in an otherwise good chain.
