This is to tell you exactly, how the coaches feel about Cooper Rush

[Whirlwin]

Late in the fourth quarter cowboys up by six . fourth and five for first down. Maybe six I truly don’t recall. Well I do recall his watching McCarthy on the sidelines and I know he wanted to go for it. We kick a field goal. If Prescott was in there do you think McCarthy kicks that field goal. I don’t.

 

[pitt33]

McCarthy kicked the field goal because the Rams did nothing on offense. I don’t think having Dak out there changes his thought process.

 

[JW82]

Although I agree, I think a lot of that is extreme confidence in the D also. No need to gamble regardless of QB when the D is smothering them.

 

[thunderpimp91]

If you’re up 6 and in fg range late you kick the fg. I don’t care if you have Peyton manning in his prime. You make it a two possession game.

 

[AKATheRake]

You need to take the points there, especially off a turnover on the road against the Champs.

Yes, we kick the field goal.

We should have ran the ball there instead of going empty sets twice on that series. If they had no confidence in Rush there, they would not have called that set once. Let alone twice.

Don't remember this 4th quarter scenario. But remember last games 1st quarter scenario.

He’s never coached that way before. Unless this is the new and improved Mike? No way they don’t let Dak go for that.

This is another factor.

Didn't have anything to do with Rush. It was rather the new, well considered, no nonsense play calling they have been showing all season long. They knew they'd make it a two score game by taking the safe exit and they knew the D and O were good enough to make it to the finish line.

Not taking anything away from either QB here. Just saying that the "Madden" days seem to be over with these coaches. Good.

 

[Ranched]

The optimal call is the choice that gives the team the best chance to win with the information available at the moment the decision is made. MM has really improved in making smart decisions. His teams record proves it!

 

[MWH1967]

Yep, with this "D" any points are good.

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

The score was 10 to 19 with under 5-minutes left, no you kick the filed goal to to go up by two touchdowns needed to loss. It had nothing to do the QB

I’m not gonna argue it was the right or wrong call. I get both sides. But I do think if Dak is there they go for it. I wasn’t comfortable with that lead. Maybe I should’ve been. It was a Tutu Atwell or Kupp big play away from being close.

Based on what I’ve seen from Mike these past few years? He goes for it. If y’all want to argue that Mike has changed? Fair enough. Maybe he has.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

GOT to take the points regardless of who is QB.

Hope Dak comes back soon. Maybe we can end this kind of silliness. One way or the other.

This is now the Pathetic state you Top Ten QB Dak lovers have found yourself in.....Comparing and fearing who now.....RUSH.
Thank you for verifying how bad of a move that contract we gave this most glorified Bus driver ever in the NFL!!!
Hey, Dak lovers please don't expect an extension for Dak as you will be majorly disappointed!!!!

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

If Prescott was in there we don't even make it into FG range.

That's right. Making good sound decisions to put the team in the most favorable place. Going for it would serve no purpose...most especially if you don;t make it. Then this OP would be complaining about THAT.

No FG is guaranteed. But Maher is kicking well, and it makes it two TD game. The right call no matter what.

Not sure why the OP is doing this.

 

[cowboyec]

maybe.
but with the way our defense was dominating the rams...i don't blame him.
get the points and let this defense hunt.

It appears he has changed? At least against teams like the Rams in their current state. And all good coaching staffs have to think on their feet…quickly. And every in-game situation is different.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Nonsense. We've kicked many FGs and scored many TDs with Dak. If you prefer Rush, cool. But let's not pretend that Dak can't do at least what Rush has done. He has proven he can do much more. Be glad we have both. Why is that so hard?
