Gutsy call.

I was surprised he went for it there.

Nice job coach.

Oh and I thought Lamb may have not gotten full control until he was backed up a bit and the spot would've been close....anyone else think that?

Do you think Dak would dare attempt that throw?

If the call had failed, there'd be a lot more saying how he's the worst coach in the league. But that's the life of an NFL head coach.

Lamb's neck permanently grew at least 3 inches on that play

Def thought he caught it, wouldn't have been overturned. But hell of a job not only by rush to run a play but to pick up a nice gain after.

Coaches should go for it far more often. There are very few scenarios where it’s statistically the right choice to punt on 4th and less than 5 on the plus side of midfield.

I like that McCarthy is willing to risk it for the sake of a win. Those risks might not always pay off, but I respect it nonetheless

Mike seems to take more risky chances when he thinks the other team might beat us.

That play was clutch. He got nailed and held onto the ball. You just can't throw CeeDee an easy ball. The harder the catch, the more likely it is he'll catch it.

If they said that wasn't a first down I wouldn't even be upset. I actually am not sure if it was. Really close.

If Lamb dropped that because he got blasted RIGHT as the ball arrived, it probably wouldn’t have even been considered a good throw/decision by Rush. Glad it worked out.
:laugh:
