I think this was really the only thinking. One shot vs. two when we were having trouble with Seattle's downfield passing. My rule of thumb is if the penalty yardage more than doubles the non-penalty yardage then you take it. Seattle gets an extra down but it also gets 12 more yards to make, so that's better than one down and 7.
Thing is I thought they gave the Seahawks a VERY favorable spot on that play. Seemed to me watching it life that the guy basically slid the last couple of yards after being tackled. Buy they seem to do that a lot against us. That one where they gave Hurts like 2 extra yards on a slide still burns my hiney.
This is my thinking as well. I thought that was two down territory no matter what.
Nice try FF boy.. go back to madden...
I was mostly joking because Dallas’ penalty frequency is so absurd.
LOL.
You did a lot of writing to try and make a point on a strategy that DIDN’T WORK.Nice try FF boy.. go back to madden...
real Pro coaches make these decisions under fire and for good reason, not your business. 3rd and 7-8 yards should be easy stop for a good D AT HOME , blame MM for DQ bad defense, sure..
MM showed some trust , he hoped to take and extra play off their backs and said go stop them. didnt happen. his play calling all night was to protect the defense, instead going for that 4th and two which great executed and designed call, oops CD dropped it..Being aggressive on the TD throw instead of burning clock on the last FG, all that was the mistrust in the D, didn't want to set up the FG, wanted the TD, needed more points and went after them.. i had zero issues with those calls i get there was a traditional conservative way it typically is called but this wasn't that type of game.
this doesn't happen every game.. let me know when you become a professional.... since your not, i'll take his word for it.. I get it maybe you need help in the inner workings of a chess game in live need to make a decision in a tenth of second. He did what he felt was right for the team.. DQ d has been a giant letdown in all 3 losses and in many games and will change the way coaches call plays and in situational football;
OK mayor of fake town, Mr internet coach.. lmao..
If they don't make it on 4th down the clock stops for turnover on downs. I definitely would have ran it or easy screen pass on 3rd down though.
It would be interesting to see how they modeled it, but I'd take the 2nd and 19.
+1 for useful fact
I agree to some extent. Coaches make this type of decision frequently. But 3rd and 7 over 2nd and 19? That's a stretch. They'd have to get 12 yards just to get back to 3rd and 7. If it was 3rd and 10+, I can see it. But not 3rd and 7.
I use talk to text and so it's not writing..... ohh it worked for me and yes it did work for MM,You did a lot of writing to try and make a point on a strategy that DIDN’T WORK.
I don’t need to be a professional coach to have an opinion on a bad coaching move, that again - DIDN’T WORK.
Big Mac tried to be smart and it didn’t work.
Accept the L and and move on, and I happen to be an excellent internet coach, one of the best actually.
they were not trying to stop the clock, they were being aggressive they were looking to get 7... the defense sucked and we're talking about mike McCarthy
Yeah, I thought it was a great decision. 3rd and 7 is what you aim for when their O is starting a series. Methinks there's a lot of hindsight going on in this thread.
exactly why he made that call.. agree with the rest Ds been underperforming and underachieving.. . if this was rod Marinelli or mike nolan he'd be getting roasted right now. DQ need to make better GPs and use less man and stop having his DBs out on islands in man... far too many long drives this year, many ending in points.
To me 3rd and 9 is easier than 2nd and 19. I get he had no confidence and it was warranted since they ate up our DB all night
Don’t deflect, we talking about the decision on that ONE play, not the outcome of the game. The call was wrong, it didn’t work because Seattle got the first down and went on to score.
