McCarthy is a dumb HC

[BlueNSilver88]

Like this guy calls fake punt reverses on 4&10 from our own 15 only down 3

but then doesn’t go for it on situations he actually should? Like against a Brady team?

Are you talking about the 4th and 6.

Multiple times during the game, like near the end zone, and yes I would’ve gone for it to milk clock and try a shorter FG with less time for TB

Lincoln Riley will be here if we don’t make at least an NFC Championship appearance

MM will be back if the Cowboys finish 9-8 or better.

Every head coach in NFL history kicks the FG there

Every single one, no exceptions

My main two issues were letting the punt team get a delay of game in the first half, and even attempting a 60 yd FG after your dude shanked two kicks.

I understand trying to get his confidence back, but no. Bury them in their own territory, and make them work harder.

 

[Kingofholland]

I didn't feel there were terrible calls, but in hindsight the 31 yard field goal you would have liked a shot at going for it, the 60 yard field goal seemed stupid but didnt cost the Cowboys in the end.

The biggest fault you can find is lack of offensive balance with the run game.

Agreed!

Plus, why in the Hell didn't McCarthy at least attempt to ice the Bucs kicker at the end by at least calling a timeout before he made the winning FG? Cowboys still had 2 timeouts left. McCarthy should have tried to ice the kicker!!!

MM showed us last year that he is not a good game manager. He is actually WORSE than Garrett in that area sometimes.

There was also a point where Tampa was ran out of bounds in the 4th (6 min or less on the clock), and the clock kept ticking. I don't know if I missed something, or a rule change but it made me take my cap off, and ask people around me if they noticed it.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Tell you what jg coached teams never came out opening night against weak teams like they did tonight against the goat and the sb champs. Way more willing to give mm plenty of time tbh!

Out Of Bounds
Anytime a player in possession of the ball goes out of bounds the play clock stops. According to the NFL Rule Book, the clock is re-started once the officials spot the ball at the appropriate yard line on the field except during the last two minutes of the first half or the last five minutes of the fourth quarter. During these times the clock doesn't start again until the next snap. The offense must run the play before the play clock runs to zero, however.

If a player in possession of the ball has his forward progress stopped in bounds and is then pushed out of bounds, the officials may mark the player down in bounds at the point of forward progress and signal for the clock to continue running.

Also, if a player's momentum is going backwards when he runs or is pushed out of bounds, the play clock will continue running. A player's momentum has to be going forward as he goes out of bounds in order for the play clock to stop.

Yes he is.

I'm dated or ill informed I guess . Thanks man!

You're very welcome brother.

I may be wrong IF they have changed the rules once again. The rules I quoted are from 2008.

Don't give a damn about the history of dumb-butt coaches--or stupidHead fans. I want analytics to determine decisions. Facts. Data. AI.

For me analytics = common sense.

Everyone knew Dallas was gonna lose 86 seconds left and Brady needing just a field goal. Mediocre secondary and little pass rush vs the GOAT? Little children could tell u how that works out.

 

[Mark]

McCarthy is a *******. Boy Wonder is calling all the offensive plays. No idea what MM's role is, other than being JJ's stooge.

Dumb dumb dumb

No, he's not dumb for kicking the field goal and relying on his defense to win the game. He went with conventional wisdom. He did what most coaches would do. It's not what you would have done, and it's not what I would have done. I would have gone for it on 4th because I knew we can't put the ball back in Brady's hands. McCarthy could have done that. However, if it didn't work, I'll tell you exactly what people would be screaming: "McCarthy is a dumb HC."

Either choice would not have made him an idiot. With his choice, we did have a chance to win. We were relying on the defense. If it forces a turnover, we win. If it gets a stop on 4th down, we win. If Brady runs out of time, we win. With our choice we would have been relying on the offense to convert a 4th and 6 to win. That's not a gimme by any stretch of the imagination. If the Cowboys' offense converts on that play then we're still in it and can seal the game with a TD or run the time down to a few seconds and win with a field goal. It could have worked, but it very well could have blown up in our faces. The Bucs get a stop on that one play and the game is over. I agree with you that we should have just taken our chances by going for it on 4th and 6 because that's the only way we keep the ball our of Brady's hands. However, I completely disagree that McCarthy was stupid for going for the other option.
