Twitter: What was Kellen thinking on 3rd & 10?

Screen to pollard!!!!!!!

If I was McCarthy, I would have fired Kellen Moore immediately after that call.
Unfortunately, Jerry would have just re-instated him on the plane ride home.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

What is this??????? We chose THIS over making them use their timeout? This is on Kellen and McCarthy.

Unacceptable!
MM should bench Moore and put in Prescott as QB!!!!!

Pollard get 7-8 per carry and we needed 4…duh

As of a month ago (I can't find updated stats), our WR group ranked dead last in separation in the entire NFL. Guys like Lamb are too good for that. That's 100% on play design.

And because other teams don't have JAG's like Joseph letting our guy beat them like a drum every play.

Facts I have been saying this for a while now. Kellen Garrett lol

Kellon Garret. That’s great…

At that point McCarthy HAS to be head coach

not be a butt hole but you HAVE to take point and say run it, like take all the backs and receivers off the field and put in 10 olineman and dak and if you only have 7 olineman use defensive tackles

run a qb sneak

YOU DONT PASS THERE

situational football is the EASIEST part of the game

It would have been better for us to just take a knee on that play. Force them to call timeout and punt. Then they got to go 40-50 yards to try for a tie.

Also if you're dumb enough to pass. Like you hit your head a second ago and forget all information about basic clock management and time outs. But if you're going to pass. Use play action. Have a RB back there and play action. Don't broadcast pre snap that you're passing in an obvious run situation. They made it easy for the defense.

Given that play might possibly cost us the division with Hurts being injured, Kellen Moore should be fired. Or Big Mike. Whoever made that decision and possibly cost us the division and a shot at the #1 seed should be fired. Unacceptable.

I have said so many times before, Dallas has the worst route runners in the league...look at those routes, i could cover the receivers if they are all just running lazy routes like that. You just lay on their hip and ride them out. No wonder they don't get separation often. As for the pass it is a very low percentage completion that has to be perfect and the receiver needs to get separation. Had Brown just stopped and sat at the first down sticks, it is an easy and high percentage completion. Dumb play call, dumb pass, dumb players and dumb OC. So the problem is not that they passed, its the design of the play. High degree of difficulty and a very important and key play which would have won the game.

I agree wholeheartedly!

He was hoping for a PI, that's the only explanation I could think of.

Football 101 - make them use their last TO by any means necessary. Run the ball here or a quick swing pass and Dallas wins.

A safe pass was the call I wokuld have made

What was Kellen thinking on 3rd & 10?

 

[Doomsday]

What a garbage call, not even a check down to throw it to if they are covered to make sure the clock keeps running so they have to use their timeout.

The shotgun on the first down of that series was trash as well. It was an obvious running situation, get under center and pound the rock behind Martin and Smith.

 

[Avery]

If I’m Dak and I get this play call, I either audible out or simply hold the ball and slide for a loss of a yard or two than this garbage.

 

[Gaede]

Unbelievably dumb play call. Want to throw and win, fine, but at the very least get some short, high percentage throw so we can kill the clock.

Just mind-blowingly stupid play call

 

[ak47kaehu]

Kellen Moore "wasn't" thinking at that moment!

 

[Mannix]

I just made it through 2:12 seconds of his press conference before clicking it away....OMG....he is The Clapping Carrot Jr...boring....even admitted going deep was the plan on 3rd and 10....did he not know that we were not behind and did not need to pick up a huge chunk of yardage??? What a boob!!! And to think that he is our next coach....CORRECTION....your next coach. I will officially be done if and when that happens.

 

[Whyjerry]

It was the difference in the game IMO.

There's a thin line between being a genius and an idiot. If it works he's a genius. If it doesn't he's an idiot.
