Anyone else question this?
And what does this say about Garrett as a head coach? Not much imo.
Cowboys had first and goal inside the one and couldn't punch it in. Not a good sign for Garrett and his playcalling.
And Garrett didn't have the cajones to go for it on 4th down. Why kick a Fg there? The team is 3-8. You have nothing to lose by going for it. And if you don't get the TD, you at least have them pinned inside their one with 3 minutes left. Stop them and you get the ball back in good field position and kick a FG to win it at the end. And do you think going up by two points with 3 minutes left, that the defense was likely to hold Manning? At the time, I wouldn't have bet on the defense stopping Manning from at least a FG ( However, the defense did hold twice in OT)
Of course, Garrett got lucky with the Colt penalty.
