McCarthy had doordash waiting at the locker room

Bad Coaching is the reason

Hey when you gotta poop every second counts

He did not want to take the chance of the ball bouncing around and being picked. We were getting flags. But I would have took the shot or even run it. 8 seconds you could have done what you wanted and had 2 time outs left. We won by 3.

One word.
Gutless!
McCarthy's clock management was horrible.

Okay maybe more than one word

If he said this I would have respected it and understood.

Incomplete trust in your QB and complete coaching failure that you haven’t practiced a play for that situation enough to have the faith in your offense to execute it.

 

[jwooten15]

Just tell us you don’t trust your QB, Mike. That’s the only logical explanation

 

[gtb1943]

A SMART coach looks at how a game is going and reacts to it. We were getting a lot of flags; and the D was playing well and Dak was playing well but not lighting it up and our Running game was frankly the pits.

PUT that all together and I really do not have a problem with that decision

MM is not the level of coach this team requires. Them again, those types would not be hired by JJ.

I didn't like what he did, but he did get the field goal and the Cowboys won by 3.

 

[RodeoJake]

I can see both sides of this. If he had conserved the seconds and we had a penalty or turnover, we get nothing. The way flags were flying, what's the odds we get flagged? On the other hand, a TD there would have looked real good.

Or would those coaches want to coach his team. Imagine having an old senile idiot and hes dumber son telling you how to coach

 

[mardwin]

I didn't like the conservative approach but I understand the logic, the team wasn't playing disciplined football and he didn't want to risk a turnover or a negative play/flag that could have taken them out of field goal position.

It was also the difference in the final score. Hmmmmm.

 

[conner01]

To me the 8 sec down to 3 wasn’t the mistake. The not calling TO when Gallup was ruled forward progress with around 40 sec

 

[The Quest for Six]

I think the clock management just before the half has more to do with not having confidence in your quarterback...

It was. But it was still bad clock management
