Mike McCarthy's Ego cost us this game

[phildadon86]

The only reason this guy went for it on 4th down in OT was to prove GB was wrong in letting him go. This team came out flat and unprepared after the bye. AGAIN!

Penalties reared their ugly head. AGAIN.

This man should have been fired after San Fran last season. A coach coming out and saying they are going to work on penalties in the offseason is a guy not worried about his performance or losing his job.

If you are going to not take the points in OT at least take the play calling out of your pass happy OC's hands and die on your own play. Oh wait. He cant do that because he doesn't even know the playbook. Penalties have been the Achilles heel of this team since MM took over. They always seem to make boneheaded mistakes at crucial times. Its incredible. I even think that the late hit on Aaron Jones in the first was a plan by MM to assert his dominance on his former team.

I liked the call personally. The way our defense was playing a FG did us no good even in OT

I would have rather them start at the 25 then the 40. Make them drive the field.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Im ok with the call. A 50 yarder was a crapshoot in those conditions. Besides I think he knew the defense had no chance to make a stop looking at what happened in the 4th quarter.

The defense was completely awful yesterday so the choice to go for it was the right one, they were going to lose that game with a FG or a 4th down failure

The decision to go for it on 4th down was a good one. The decision to pass the ball on 3rd down was a bad one. Should have run the ball on 3rd down if you know you are in 4 down terriority. No excuse for that. Just bad coaching.

 

[infamousstyles]

Receiving the ball instead of deferring was an arrogant decision. Lots of ego based decisions this game.

 

[Cmac]

Our OC has yet to learn game management.....14 pt lead in the 4th quarter......GB getting hot.....move the chains.....challenge manhood, run the clock with the ground attack. Nope, let's pass and pass, and pass. Look at the Run/Pass unbalance.....look at GB's.

Did yall forget who our kicker is?


We dont have Justin Tucker. While Maher has been better this year, he still isnt reliable.

It was a good decision that once again is being second-guessed because we didnt execute.


Fans…

No, I don't buy this. Mike McCarthy isn't the problem. The idiotic offense that can't seem to string together consistent plays is the problem. The defense that can't seem to consistently stop the run is the problem. The HC can't force players to perform and execute, the idiot players need to have enough pride to execute. But that isn't something you have seen in Dallas for a long time. Parcells tried to bring it back but there is no working with Jerry who wants his country club atmosphere to produce winners.

McCarthy going for it on 4th down didn’t have anything to do with ego.

You may still have time to delete this thread. HURRY!

Maher had his foot in the turbo heater on that drive. He was glad McCarthy went for it on 4th down.

Then. In the words of Sandra Bullock.

RUN THE DANG BALL! Why this team got pass happy with a 14 point lead is mind boggling. Thats also. You guessed it. Coaching.

Packers can't stop the run at all in 2022.

Cowboys' running backs were both effective yesterday, Pollard 22 for 115 and Davis 5 for 38.

And yet Dak throws 46 times even though Dallas is up 14 in the 4th quarter. Mind boggling.

I understand Moore is the OC, but that was vintage Mike McCarthy on display yesterday.

In a "big" (for him) game in which his team was more talented, favored, healthier, and more rested, McCarthy's Cowboys somehow lose to a depleted Packers squad that had lost 5 straight.

Just a brutal outcome for Big Mac, but one that Packer fans got all too accustomed to seeing in "big" games between 2011-2018.

 

[Cowboys93]

Hindsight is 20/20 and I’m ok with the call, but the players have to execute. That was the most emotion I’ve seen from MM on the sideline since he’s been our coach. I’m glad someone cared because the players were sleepwalking through a game where the opposing team is notorious for taking our lunch money. Absolutely pathetic.

Thats definitely a stretch, he had been aggressive on 4th all year

Is it coaching? Or is it messages delivered to the coaches?

There is 0 doubt in my mind that the Joneses influence game plans, Booger even approves them, and the play calling featuring a certain highly paid player.

And this was a face off with one of the best QB’s in the game and a chance to show off.

 

[SoBlue128]

Throwing the ball 46 times was the reason for the loss. McCarthy should stick his foot in the rear end of the person or persons responsible for it. 46 passes against a run defense just as bad if not worse than ours.
