Team has done this numerous games. No idea why In rush there - have 3 timeouts. You actually want clock to run so other team doesn’t have time kick fg. Moore/dak and big mike are big dummies. Call good play and regroup.

Yeah for the life of me I have no clue why that happened. We rushed that play to ceedee. Granted he shoulda caught it. But why not let it go to two mins and discuss. It’s a free timeout

What have you done when you coached in that situation?

It was smart. More plays the better. They really screwed the pooch when they didn’t do it at the end of the third…….

That alone should be a firable offense, couldn’t believe when they did it.

I thought they had some time to mix in a run or two there with 3 timeouts and the 2 minute warning. Throw in a toss or something to Pollard.

All of it was jacked up.

This game was an abomination at so many levels- the first time I've really been ashamed to be a Cowboys fan.

I thought the team would move on from finding implausible ways to lose when Garrett was jettisoned. Now the team is adding a dose of embarrassment into the equation.

Clock management issues. We saw it all year.

Did you think they would suddenly go away in the playoffs?

They rush that play. I wouldve took it in the 2 min warning to get the best play out tbh.

McCarthy at his best. Everybody with a mike told us McCarthy would cost us a win in the playoffs. They were prophetic.

Said the same thing. Why rush it? We were down 6 and were in SF territory with 3 timeouts. Time was not a factor at all. You absolutely do not want to rush a play there with your season on the line. Regroup for some minutes and figure out what you want to do and keep the ball moving. they hurried that play and it became 3rd and 11 just like that. Stupid. But typical for this clown franchise.
