Moronic Clock Management

[Cowboys5217]

As I mentioned in the game thread this is the second game this year where a kneel down was a better call than what our coaches came up with. The first was the Giants game (1st match up).

Seriously, this is basic stuff that any fan in the stands knows. It is inexcusable on the NFL level for it to happen even once, but we just got to do an encore of stupidity.

I mean, why can't Moore/McCarthy learn from their own gaffs? Hire a Madden player to help this team with last drive clock management strategy for pete's sake.

No worries. In four weeks it will all be over.

What bothered me about it is the flip flop nature of it. Either be aggressive coming out on first down to get the conversion and seal the game away, or stick with the conservative clock killing approach the WHOLE way.

Throwing the deep ball on 3rd down detonated both approaches. It ended with neither the aggressive strategy or the defensive strategy, and instead we got the moron strategy.

McCarthy is a flaming idiot.

Cowboys rotating OL struggled in pass pro AND running ball.

Philbin took a strength and made it worse.

I couldn't believe they threw the ball on the last 3rd down in regulation. Even if we didn't get the first (on the ground), they are unable to stop the clock, & kick the tying FG.

I sure hope somebody in the league is dumb enough to offer Moore a HC gig after this season. I'm so ready for him to be gone...

What play are you referring to?

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Fire the entire coaching staff. Who cares at this point. Burn it all down.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

So we make the playoffs as a wild card and lose the 1st game. Rinse. Repeat.

 

[BIGS87]

3rd and 10 going for deep pass, low chances of converting it, should just run it and make them use the timeout. Dak Blows!

 

[jwooten15]

I loved the 35 yard heave on 3rd down that stood no chance of succeeding.

 

[loublue22]

I respect the idea of going for the win but that play sucks, also it was 3rd and 10 because the first down play you just let a free rusher tackle zeke immediately for a 3 yard loss

 

[StuckMojo]

Dak has got to play better but The last int was on Brown. Dak also got blocked in the back on the return.

Coaching is a problem!!

 

[Thrill99]

The first down call running play to Zeke on the last drive of regulation was just stupid, when the other team knows you are going to run and are just crashing the line....just stupid!

Just think about it Dallas had the ball and just needed to run out the clock and they couldn’t think of a single play to do it. A single play.

They have to get rid of Kellen. Just think about it Dallas had the ball and just needed to run out the clock and they couldn’t think of a single play to do it. A single play.!

 

[Avery]

You either take the short throw or you go down and it’s just like a running play. Don’t throw the ball 30 yards if you don’t need 30 yards.

Kellen is dumb and we all know it.

 

[Cowboys5217]

Literally didn't even need to run. A kneel down kills their last timeout and they would only win on some kind of fluke like a hail mary or music city miracle.

 

[Mannix]

So Corky is the Coach Of The Year, huh???

Yeah let's not forget the predictable first two downs. Obvious dives right up the middle..
