We should have run the ball on 3rd and 10 with less than 2 minutes left.

Instead we attempt a deep throw down the sidelines which was incomplete, saving the Jags final timeout.

They needed that timeout to force overtime.

We deserve to lose with dumb decisions like that.

Choking away a 17-point 2nd half lead is painful.

Dude he sucks so bad. People wonder why he didn’t get a head coaching job

One of McCarthy's MOs in Green Bay was peculiar clock management/end of game situations.

We've had examples of this in the past with him in Dallas and today was another.

If you are gonna throw, at least make it a safer, higher success rate kind of pass. A deep ball? LOL.

Why even throw it that deep? All we needed was a first down? What a really dumb coaching/QB decision to help Jacksonville take the game to overtime.
I felt like Jason Garrett was still coaching.

Dallas hasn't thrown a bomb down the sideline in 5 weeks, they decide to finally throw one on 3rd and 10 instead of forcing the Cards to burn their final TO and it is to Brown whose man is 10 yards off the LOS.

That 2nd and 3 play call was trash as well. We ran that bunch sideline formation 15 times this game and they brought an extra defender into the box and had the number, yet Dak doesn't audible out of it. Didn't pass out of that formation one single time the entire game either. smh

I've said all along, coaching is going to kill us.
If we're doing this against the Jags, imagine what's going to happen in the playoffs - if we make it.
Our play calling at the end of the game and in overtime was horrendous.
As long as we have an offensive coordinator learning on the job, we're screwed.

That's was stupid. We have the lowest football IQ team in the league, players and coaches and front office.

That call was so idiotic that I started laughing in desperation after the play.

And somehow Kellen Moore will be treated by the media as some hot commodity for a HC job somewhere. It's bizarre.
