Is the Dallas Cowboys coach retarded?

[hels]

A couple weeks ago he ices his own kicker. This week, in a 2 score (yes 16 points is technically considered a 2 score game) runs the ball with 1:37 remaining on 4th and 6 at the 12 yard line. Why would you not just kick a field goal here? I would think a field goal is a higher percentage play than a 4th and 6. 3 score game with 1:37 left or a 2 score game with 1:37 left?

I did make late Over plays before the drd down decision and got burned (betfair). I just don't understand this call. You don't convert 3rd down and give the ball back in a 2 score game when a field goal is pretty much automatic? What am I missing here?

[FindTheLock]

All I needed was that dumb ass to make the sane call and chip it in for me! I was loving the time out calls from the bucs and this idiot goofs up again. He makes the girls unbettable because of his stupidity.

[The Seer]

because he wanted to fukkk me on the over

[PAULYPOKER]

you are out of it man..

please tell me ur kidding.............

[rake922]

He had under 46.5 ... he wanted a 1st down instead

[Cuse0323]

he's an idiot who has no business being a head coach, OC maybe.

Damn straight. I'm no mathematical genius but here's the thing. You don't convert and the other team has about 1:30 to score a td, onside kick and another td.... unlikely. Or, you kick a field goal and pooch kick off giving them the ball at their own 40, they have to score a td, onside kick, score another td, onside kick and then kick a field goal.... this is near impossible.

I just don't understand the logic.

[MoneyLineDawg]

It makes no FUKKIN SENSE......In fact I remember losing this same fukkin way when I had a team getting points earlier in the year and the favorite team kicked a FG for "no reason"......Fukk you Garrett you fukkin homo, no reason at all NOT TO KICK THE FIELD GOAL JERKOFF!!!!!!!!

[FindTheLock]

the right call was to kick the chip shot and make it a 3 score game. No other coach who is worth a damn in the NFL runs for it on 4th and 6 in that situation. That was a 19 point 3 score lead on a chip shot Extra point attempt... The guy has no clue what he is doing.

[tatommack]

No he went to princeton

[hels]

I sometimes believe this.

This isn't a 4th and inches situation where you convert 4th down and the clock will run out. It's a 6 yard run and the difference is a 2 score/3 score game.

I'm not as upset about my late play as I am with the thought process of the whole thing. It bewilders me. The rest of the coaching staff and all the players must be scratching their heads at this decision. I just don't know sometimes.

[ijenpo]

Seriously. This coach is a joke.

[zoo youk]

or you just go for it deep in their territory and you get the first down, the blow out is over and the game is OVER. no more potential injuries or craziness. besides if you don't make it, the Bucs are still backed up deep in their own territory down 16 with about 1:30 to go and no time outs. come on now.

I understand what you're saying. I'm still trying to figure it out. Kicking the field goal is the only option. Running the ball still gave TBay a chance to win the game. You kick it and the game is over. Fukken douchebag.

[PAULYPOKER]

There was no right call,TB was no threat at all to winning that game so Dallas just decided to go for it to end the game which they did......

They could care less about making sure an over covers especially when it is a heavy public play............

[JohnGalt2341]

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that I had Dan Bailey Over 8.5 points. The logical chip shot would have given him 10 points. That's the only thing I can think of.

[FourLengthsClear]

Going for the 4th and 6 was an odd decision but it is not exactly a big issue (unless you were on the total).

[zoo youk]

in a 31-15 game like that a game you have man handled you expect your team to pick up the 4th down deep in TB zone after pushing them around all game. you trust your guys to put the other team out of their misery and do their job.

not put it in the other teams hands.

[allabout the $$$]

if they dont make it then tb has to drive 90 yards get a 2 point conversion an onside kick score and another 2 point conversion all with a 130 left on the clock and no time outs

now if tb blocks the field goal returns it for a td then its a one score game with say a minute left they have a much better opportunity to tie the game then.

you are letting your over bet think for you

stop looking at it from a betting stand point and youll realize how crazy you sound

1. They still had their starters in.

2. One of their starters got hurt on the previous first down.

3. Coaches don't care how long it takes until the game finishes if they win.

4. You don't think teams can score 2 td's with 1:30 left no matter where they're backed up?

5. Where was the 'craziness' in this game?

6. You call a 2 score game a 'blowout'?

I would like you to show the % of field goal blocks returned for tds and fumbles returned for tds. You gotta think before you speak.

[allabout the $$$]

2 tds and one of them 90 yards in 90 seconds with no time outs i will give you 1000-1 odds on that all day long

[zoo youk]

Chip Kelly does this ALL the time.

[PAULYPOKER]

this thread is an instant classic

Moral of the story> being a degenerate gambler will make your mind as cloudy as a stormy day..........

[EaglesPhan36]

Seems pretty redundant asking if anyone associated with the Cowboys is retarded. Answer is always yes.

you telling people to think before you speak.


sorry bro..not trying to embarrass you here but your doing a pretty good job on your own. quit while your ahead.

i gotta think before i speak the odds of this happening are better then tb scoring 2 tds in 90 secs with no time outs

YOU REALLY NEED TO THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK BUDDY

[Br0nxer]

jerry had the under

How would it compare to a team scoring 2 8pt touchdowns starting from their own 10 with 1:30 left?

Both are very, very long shots. Arguing over which is the longest of these long shots is................meh!

[zoo youk]

dont forget the 2 point conversions as well.

[allabout the $$$]

show me % of a team scoring 2 tds in 90 secs with no time outs and having to drive 90 yards for one of them

this is the nfl the clock doesnt stop on first downs
