Honestly what a terrible decision by McCarthy.

New England couldn't stop the run during that drive and they had 1 timeout.

A first down would have given Dallas complete control on how to end the game.

McCarthy is an idiot.

Mike McCarth is completely braindead. Dude goes for 4 and 2 on your own 40 on the first drive of the game but not 4 and 1 on the pats 40 with an inconsistent kicker. This team is dragging McCarthy along and Im not sure how far we can go since he is so heavy

Just like Green Bay dragged him along.

I've been saying this since the start of the season. McCarthy will cost us a game. Whether it be in the Div Game or a NFCCG this **** can't continue much longer.

With all that said, I’d still take him over Garrett.

I do not like to nitpick after a win but I truly believe that Mike is a terrible in game coach and the team is dragging him to victories. I have to believe that he is a pretty good in-week coach that the team likes and rallies around, but oh my the guy cannot manage a clock to save his life.

I did not like this call either. But hey at least we won!

It was a very dumb call, but it worked out luckily with the Cowboys winning in OT.

I have to concede, McCarthy missed on that one. Tough though. You have an opportunity to at least take the lead. Oth, a FG only puts you up two. The offense is flowing and you go for it. No one is perfect. There are a million scenarios to pick a part. I'm ok with the end result. I am disappointed with the penalties and lack of discipline at times. We must grasp that's a tough place to win however you slice it.

And if he went for it and the team came up short, there would be a thread about how he should have just tried for the FG. lol

McCarthy is a great coach Monday-Saturday. But horrible on Sundays when the cameras are on and the popcorn is popping. You just have to live with the good and the bad
