Why the 4th and 3 failed

[BlueStar22]

Good breakdown here. Good defensive call, give them credit. Not as simple as Lamb not getting to the marker.

TE didn't get depth, WR didn't get depth. The Cowboys had a call that should have gotten the yardage.

The valid point in this is that the safety was coming downhill with the angle, so the throw didn't really matter.

 

[DanA]

It was a pick play that Rams avoided brilliantly.

 

[JohnsKey19]

That's well played by the defense there.

 

[Parcells4Life]

Might have been better to run a pivot route. Get everyone going to the first down marker then go back the other way

 

[Bluedocd]

I think you are over looking the fact we should have not been going for the first down anyway. Should have gotten the 3 points and tied the game.

 

[The Quest for Six]

It was the wrong decision to go for it to begin with, a game where you were completely outplayed yet were still hanging around should have taken the three points and tied the game...

thats why you kick the field goal

and of course its a bad throw by Dak. He leads the receiver and its a 1st down

Sure but I'm not mad at the decision either. If it works, we're excited and McCarthy is being cheered for being Anti-Garrett and having a huge pair. I also agree, the points would have been better but at that point, the defense hadn't even made them punt yet.

Always find a way to blame Dak, right lol. When in doubt, blame Dak instead of crediting the defense. Blame McCarthy for the decision.

The defense still was scary to watch, but they did a better job slowing down the Rams in the second half.

FG was the best option there but we put all the cards on the table but the Rams had the better hand that down.

KM is the reason..his training wheels are off and it was more of the same 2019 withour Garett..seems choppy comparted to Mcvays game plan was working all day TOP was being ate up while we couldn't move the ball consistently with all that talent..hmmm

All the more reason to get the points. Another score by the Rams would have put the game away anyway. the boys were fortunate the Rams didn't score again.

It was a dumb call in that situation. Down 4? Sure. Down 3? You tie the game.

There was only half a quarter left and we got the ball once after this decision.

We shouldn't have done 4 and three, bad call by headcoach

disagree totally with kick, but 100% on Dak for not leading him. Lamb gets a step he's gone and we don't have this discussion

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Same situation the Rams would have dumped it to the RB for a 12-yard gain.

 

[Acheman08]

As Bluestar said above, if it works, McCarthy is being heralded. I would have kicked a FG there though, however, even though the D tightened up in the 2nd half, they werent stopping the Rams much and I still think even with the FG they still lose.

 

[JohnsKey19]

True. They definitely would have schemed someone open by 4 yards...

 

[Acheman08]

Oh and, the offense looks exactly like last year. Yes they had a couple of good drives but, the difference between the Rams and the Boys on Offense was glaring. They got big chunks on every play, Dak is just standing there waiting for people to get open and turn around.
