McCarthy clock management is disgusting

I blame him, Moore and Dak. No way Brady and Belichick ever let anything like this happen. This isn’t the first time too. Week one against the bucs prior to half time Dallas ran 30 seconds off the clock prior to a 2 min warning before the half and didn’t get a free play off. Pee wee type garbage. They also left Brady with way too much time on the clock in the 4th.

Yesterday they burned a timeout early in the 3rd after almost a two minute break due to a penalty they still weren’t ready to snap the ball. This is inexcusable and for the HC, OC, and QB to let it happen is a big shame. We all saw what a disastrous ending it could have been and this team was lucky it escaped with a win despite the coaching. This is Garrett type **** all over again.

Well when they turn the clock off it makes it hard to manage (and that’s exactly what the Chargers did). It’s bad enough they literally held our Dlinemen nearly every single play, but turning the clock off on the last drive is next level BS.

LOL...............All 3? Might as well throw them all in there. LOL

MM did well. He gave the Bolts a running attack which led to a win. No coach is perfect when it comes to fans.

Big Mike is the first time I've witnessed an actual head coach on the Dallas sidelines since Parcells. Give him some slack.

Fun fact, stop watches we’re invented in 1710 and are now sold for a couple of bucks. It’s not hard to put one on your neck or just have one run on one of the 50 odd iPads they operate on the sidelines. And the ability to improvise is an important skills isn’t it?

This needed another thread.

We didn't win hard enough apparently.

Than your lost. This guy is a joke like the last 3.

Pretty sure there is more than 1 clock in that new 5 Billion dollar stadium, Big Mike. Perhaps turning your head to locate another was too much work?

We were very fortunate that gaffe didn't blow up in our face. We got bailed out by a huge play from Zuerline. He gets a lot of crap, and last week deserved it, but that was a clutch bomb yesterday.

Hopefully the NFL investigates

No just some of our fans are a joke, they spend the week talking how Dallas is going to lose and after a win they look for anything they can to continue slamming this team. Dallas won, get over it

 

[Walker]

These "fake" fans just mad that we won, get over it!

It’s insanity to treat this like it was a well coached win. If you do your oblivious. To settle for a 50+ yarder with the amount of time we had is sad. If he misses and we lose it’s national sports news and McCarthy would be on the media hot seat. We are lucky they won despite the coaching.

The play clock went off at 30 second mark with no way of knowing. Fact is he brought his team to LA with little chance of winning and walked out with the win. McCarthy said during the post game they had intended to run another play on 3rd but once the clock went out and they were in the dark on time they put it in the hands of the kicker., They were lucky? BS they played better than the Chargers and won. Really something to see fans who rip on the team all week, all off season and then whine because the Cowboys won. lol Enjoy the win or don't I really do not care

 

[Sydla]

I'd be more willing to cut them some slack on this if not for the fact that McCarthy has had clock management issues in the past. There are clocks all over that stadium apparently (Dak said he could see a clock), so I am struggling to buy the "the clock I was looking at disappeared".

 

[Awakened]

I concur with OP. Time management at the end of the game was very poor and could have easily cost us the game unnecessarily. The HC is paid millions of dollars; he should have a contingency plan. We could see the clock watching TV, right? Instead of being held accountable for this mismanagement by the GM's/Joneses, I'm sure they'll joke about it at the next meeting. Having said that, I am a believer in Moore and Dak. They can do better managing the game at the end.

That last minute was very poorly managed, no doubt. If Zuerlein misses that FG,the Chargers have the ball almost at mid-field.

Let’s also give some credit to Mac and his coaches. I was impressed with the overall game plan on both sides of the ball. And unlike the Chaz Green days, these coaches were able to plug in a backup T and make it work against a good pash rush.

The team has no idea what to do at the end of the game. Dak is too sideline dependent. The coaches need to let him run the 2 minute offense and stop trying to micromanage it.

I think SD lost this game more than we won it. Im not coming away thinking we are the better team. They just made way more mistakes. 2 TDs called back on silly penalties.
