Not happy with Moore or MM game management

[Pantone282C]

They did mismanage a bit, but they knew their kicker was in range and they did use up all of the clock which is something that they needed to do.

I'd say they learned something from the last game!

Like I said earlier, had they ran another play or two they still would’ve ran out the clock. That’s all I’m saying.

 

[Vtwin]

who is responsible for game management and clock management? coaches or just the QB? did the coach discuss with the QB how he wants things managed? what he expects to do in each situation? etc....

is MM and Moore not leaders then?

parcells used to practice those situations all the time and show the team how they need to be in each situation, down and distance and time...

didn't seem like we did....when coach, OC and QB are not on the same page, there is a communication issue, not that because they are not talking, but they are not talking about important things that matter.

The coaches and the field general, aka the QB, are responsible to lead the team.

I'm pretty sure the QB can see the clock very clearly, and he should understand the context of the situation.

There is enough blame to go around.

Team needs greater situational awareness and higher football IQ.
I loved that about Parcells coached teams

Parcells is overrated. The Bills should have beaten him with a field goal and no other teams were using their starting qb as a holder when they blew the game at Seattle.

He was great at installing great situational awareness in his days as Cowboys coach.

The Chargers could have taken timeouts to give them some time.

Then the team had talent.

so same team went 6-10.....does it mean they lost talent?

sometimes a coach can squeeze more from the team than they have otherwise.

sometimes a coach will tank a team because of what they do...

coaches can be talented. or talent less. think Bilicheck, McVay vs. Garrett....

you have to take that intot he equation of talent vs. no talent

 

[Pantone282C]

A day for criticism and complaints!

Lots of seasons without meaningful results will do that to a fan base.
It was a hard fought win. I'll happily take it!

You wonder why he didn't have the sense to not use his starting qb as the holder. No other team was doing this.

but if the coaches are confused about what to do, you expect the QB to have thought and planned situational football and manage the game.

so what's the coaches responsibility...sounds like you are saying the responsibility lies with QB no matter what....

On this we’ll greatly disagree. Parcels beat one of the best offenses of all time in that Super Bowl by game planning. His offense kept the ball away from Buffalo, who only had the ball for 19 minutes and some odd seconds of the game. Buffalo was the better team but Parcells beat them anyway.

As far as Romo holding for FGs, it was simply due to the fact that he was the holder from the beginning of the season when he was the backup and not the starter. Whether he should have switched it up after Romo took over as the starter can be debated. He didn’t because he wanted to maintain the continuity that has been established.

They could’ve taken them anyway but they didn’t so what’s your point?

Parcells beat them because the kicker missed a little to the right.

You should be able to figure it out. It is all speculation on what could have happened. The bottom line is they won as time expired which is what you want.

It was a long FG attempt, especially at that time. He won because he kept Buffalo’s offense off the field with a ball control offense. Everyone that watched the game knows this. He also had a pretty damned good defense and one of the best defensive players of all time. He knew how he had to play to beat Buffalo and guess what! It worked.

I am not impressed nor happy with Moore and how he manages the game. given the weapons we have, almost anyone can create yards, score a few. we are deep at WR, RB and even with Collins out, we still have a good OL and of course a good QB...

but I hate the fact that Moore out smarts himself....they botched the redzone against Tampa last week. they almost botched this game.

in the 3rd quarter, we are driving, their defense can't stop the run or the pass and then Moore gets gimmiky with that college play....that was utterly stupid. next play he panics and Dak ended up getting sacked. he killed the whole momentum with his stupidty.
see the 8:32 mark of the highlights reel

and at the end of the game, with 20+ seconds left on the clock, he could have run three plays and at least take one shot to the endzone...take another shot to the sideline to move the ball closer. if both failed, it was still a 50+ yard kick..instead he let the clock run out and everyone seemed confused.

it clearly showed they are not prepared for these type of moments..

same last week, in how the end of the game was managed, when players kept running out of bounds and not using the clock or forcing tampa to call timeouts...they played it stupid..

good/great coaches are made in how you make and manage the critical moments in the game. most games will be close and within a score in the 4th. if we continue to mismanage the games like this and depend on luck to win, we are not going to win too many games...

I will be happy when Moore is gone next year. he is not the wonder kid everyone makes him out to be.

we win and fans are still complaining! Pathetic! Just enjoy it!

LOL. You’re the one that started the “speculation game”, not me.

By the way, I agree completely as far as the end results go. I just think we flubbed up that last 30 seconds but it didn’t end up costing us. I’m very happy about that, but the staff needs to manage the end of the game better.

 

[Verdict]

I think Moore has been great both games but that's just me. You take what the defense gives and in both games i feel like he played to their weakness

I’m not going to say that Moore doesn’t need some work, but he seems to be the best we have had here in a long time.

I literally said, "there is enough blame to go around".

Yes, your veteran QB known for his outstanding leadership qualities should be expected to have some situational awareness.

Thank heavens the kicker bailed them out.
