Fans always think they know better. Most the time when fans whine about clock management, their ideas would have turned out worse.

Dallas called timeout after screen to Luepke. Incredibly stupid timeout. Then they rush the snap after the review when Dak was downed at the 1. He made numerous mistakes. In both halves
Did you see what happened the 2 times they tried to hurry up the play before. One an INT, the other a sack fumble.
MM did the right thing. Slow it down, make sure you get the right plays called.

This guy is an absolute bone head when it comes to managing the clock. That display was a total embarrassment.
Throw in the complete lack of awareness of Jalen Brooks 1st down from the sideline, they should have signaled to Dak to slow it down. If the QB feeling it....the Coaching staff is still responsible for Game situations.

McCarthy got lucky

Tomlin made a mistake not taking the timeout to prevent the 10 second runoff, taking it from 47 to 37. This was compounded by the fact that it was a running clock, so Dak should have let some time run off before the next snap, but he didn't. Mike should have been on it, but ultimately the time wasn't our problem, it was the 2nd down play nearly ruining the drive.

I will never understand winning the coin toss and electing to receive. The Cowboys did that yet again and got a FG from the opening drive. That meant they had to kickoff the 2nd half. And of course, the Stealers went down and scored a TD.

They didn’t have to hurry!!! They needed to slow it down and not call timeout. And they DID HURRY after the Dak scramble. What are you talking about haha

Mike certainly has a history of being bad with the clock, but I don't understand your criticism regarding tonight's game.

I don't have much of a problem at all w/tonight's time management.

You want to milk the clock but it doesn't mean a thing if you don't get a TD there. Draining every last second wasn't priority #1
Bro the ball was was on the 4 yard line with a minute left! You don’t call timeout hahahah. Stop it.

I’m genuinely asking. If you call a timeout to go over a play with your players or to settle things down what’s the alternative? Especially for a dumb team that gets penalized all game?
You let the clock run! If you want to burn a to after letting it run, go ahead

We scored a TD and they ended up getting the ball with 15 seconds. What were you wanting?
This was smart IMO. Making them return it killed 5 seconds off the clock. Not doing this is literally why the Bills lost to the Chiefs in the playoffs a few years ago.
