Dumb Decisions: The STUPIDEST OVERTIME 4TH DOWN CONVERSION EVER | Cowboys @ Packers (2022)

[@scottybbadd]

JG9, I'm going to defend this decision. It was the 1st possession of overtime, so a field goal doesn't end it. Second, it was around freezing with a wind chill of 27°F. The ball doesn't fly that well under those conditions. Third, even if Brett Maher makes the field goal, the defense couldn't stop A-Rod in the 4th quarter to save their own lives, and Christian Watson might have wound up with 4 touchdowns.

That wasn't a dumb decision (because Tampa has done this play with Brady several times with success); that was just poor execution.

[@jaywmeinen]

That wasn’t dumb. Just poorly executed. The whole world saw how Brady was completely ignored as a wide out on the previous wildcat play. Unfortunately for the Bucs, the Seahawks saw it, too.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw that. I called their plays! I said “they’re just running clock and they’re gonna take a shot on 3rd down and if it doesn’t hit, they’ll punt.” My wife asked why Rodgers didn’t run for the first down. I said “he had his deep read. It wasn’t there. They’re content to play for OT.” Unbelievable. How do you win games with that attitude?

[@TheRealfan1]

@Tylor Why? Right now, McCarthy is 18-8 over past 2 seasons. Did you see complaints being non-existent when Cooper Rush was QB? It's not McCarthy's fault Dak can't make a play in this game and 49ers Playoff game when Dak needed to most.

[@tylorkenniston1192]

@@TheRealfan1 true, McCarthy has a good record so far, but is that due to his coaching or in spite of it? Welcome to dumb decisions 2 times in a single season. Not great. 3rd in the division at this point in the season? Not ideal. The team has loads of talent but whether it’s McCarthy, Dak, or both someone seems to not be delivering when it matters most. Cooper rush as qb didn’t get any complaints because they went back to what they do best: run the ball, play tough defense. But when dak is back on the field it’s “we have a great qb let’s have him throw 50 times a game for no reason” which leads to shorter offensive drives, a tired D late in the game, and a 4th down passing call that makes 0 sense on field goal range in OT. I hope I’m wrong and maybe it was was just trusting his qb too much, but I think McCarthy is the last person you want in charge of the team when it’s a tight game and you need to do things like manage a clock, challenge bad referee decisions, and realize when to hold and when to fold. He would make a great co-ordinator or number 2, but as head coach he’s not my pick. Still though, Miles ahead of Garrett. That man strives for mediocrity 😂

New Era of football. Analytics

[@mrmoose6619]

If this is analytics, then coaches need to get their eyes out of the books and back on the game itself. If you see that the run is working, RUN... especially this late in the game. Defenses are tired... they are more susceptible to the run.

[@Fencellisk]

Problem with analytics is that it's the situation regardless of team and players. They don't even consider how well or how poor the players are playing. Soo defeats the point of being analytical.

[@texas-raider]

Hilariously ironic that the guy that made this decision is the same guy *fired* for making these same decisions when he was head coach for the other team. Yep, McCarthy screwed the pooch in Green Bay, once again!🤣🤣🤣

I'm a Cowboys fan since the Landry/Staubach days. During the fourth down play in question I literally shouted "What the hell are you doing? Kick the damn field goal! Waitaminute, are they actually PASSING the ball?!" I immediately knew there would be a "Dumb Decisions" about this on JG9 the next day. And sure enough, here it is.

[@YTPFLIMS]

Huh I totally forgot Mike McCarthy went to coach the Cowboys.. I'm about 5 years behind on football anyway so

[@dallasolson4731]

The Philly decision was even worse than described because leading up to the Lamb catch on 3rd, there was back to back 3 and outs, a 1st play pick on the last drive, and 1st and 2nd went absolutely nowhere on that drive. Your offense is as cold as possible, yet run to the line no doubt. Not the time to go quick, field position and down aside.

[@Flamquill]

This is one of those dumb decisions that's a dumb decision because it didn't work. Had it worked, he would've been praised for "having the guts" to do it. That's the fine line between a gutsy decision and a dumb one. If you're gonna make a call like that, IT BETTER WORK OR ELSE.

[@into_play3226]

Mike McCarthy is the most smooth-brained coach in the league.

[@CTubeMan]

McCarthy was bashed for his lack of foresight when his Packers lost to the Seahawks in the 2014 NFC Championship Game. On more than one occasion he ran on third and short, then kicked the field goal rather than go for it.

[@marcus813]

When I saw the offense still on the field, I was wondering what the blue hell McCarthy was thinking about. Then again, 4th down shouldn't have even come up because the Packers appeared to commit pass interference on 3rd down.

[@gordonwhitney6052]

After some reflection, it occurred to me that much of the logic presented here about lack of foresight can also be applied to the November 2009 Patriots Colts 4th and 2 game. In that game, Brady lined up in shotgun and threw an incompletion the play before the 4th and 2 play. Was that a lack of foresight on the play caller’s part? The Pats needed two yards on two plays. I’ll concede the Pats ground game had struggled in the 4th quarter of that game, but how is two measly yards on two plays such a big ask? Given that Brady was superb at converting QB sneaks in his Patriots days, you could even argue they only needed one yard on third down from a running back. I would love to hear JaguarGator9’s thoughts on what the Patriots were doing on that 3rd down play in 2009

[@Ragnar009]

I'm a Cowboys fan and completely agree with you. And that wasn't the only dumb decision he made that game.

[@ravenheaven2425]

I JUST KNEW you were gonna do a video on this game because I saw the whole game, well except for nearly the entire 1st Qtr because we were watching the Vikings-Bills game that went into overtime.. I was talking with my wife as we watched the game, explaining scenarios and whatnot. She's not into football but she's willing to learn. Anyway, I told her that Mike McCarthy's decisions in this game was ATROCIOUS! She agreed. It's nice to have a wife who willing to learn the interests of her hubby and get into it herself. I was perfectly content with her having control of the remote while I get on the computer and do my own thing, but she asked me to watch a game with her and wanted to learn about the game of football. I was on cloud 9 at her request, so of course I accepted the request and watched the game with her. The rest of the story is history.

[@propenguin9956]

I watched the first quarter and you did not miss much. The other 3 quarters plus overtime were the best parts easily.

[@dangeiger9796]

[@martincaidin4166]

Devil's advocate: Maher's kickoffs to that end of the field never made it to the end zone all day due to the conditions, so a long kick in that direction was no gimme. And if he misses, he sets GB up with great field position only needing a FG to win. Of course, this doesn't excuse passing on 3rd and 3, but this had to be running thru Mike's mind.

Isn't Kellen Moore the actual play caller?

[@CTubeMan]

I’ve got a theory as to why we’re seeing a lot of Dumb Decisions (TM) on 4th Down this year. The decision to go for it has been taken out of the hands of the coaches because of analytics. So coaches are compensating by putting their own stamp on the play call. As a result, as you said about Frank Reich last week, they’re getting too cute.

[@TheRealfan1]

2017 Eagles started it all with going for it on 4th down. After seeing how successful Eagles were with 4th down that year, teams decided to follow suit. Before that season, it was unheard of teams going for it on 4th down so much. To McCarthy's defense, he didn't want Rodgers to get ball back, knowing how good Rodgers is in these situations.

[@zxHorizon]

I'm going to defend Mike McCarthy on this one, let's say they settle for the field goal in OT and they miss, they would be in the exact same situation as they would be as if they failed to convert on 4th down & 4. If they made the kick, Dallas would have gotten 3 points yes, but you're still giving the ball to Aaron Rodgers and his offense, who had a TON of momentum going into OT, and McCarthy knows giving the ball back to Rodgers is not a good idea and why wouldn't he? He's coached the guy before for 12 years.

[@EX7Sonic]

McCarthy just wanted to remind everyone that he is one of the best Packer coaches in history. So much so that he even got them a win when he was coaching another team.

[@adampomietlarz1518]

Will there be a dumb decision for sneaking on the goal line for the bills instead of taking a safety??

[@MikeyKaos716]

There shouldn't be. Considering the Bills defense the second half, 40 seconds would have been a long time for Minnesota to get in FG range to win in regulation. Though you could argue Dorsey's refusal to use the running or screen game in 2nd and 3rd and short multiple times are dumb decisions. You could make a case the 4th and goal where Allen threw his first pick was a dumb decision to go for it. But the fumble isn't one that was a dumb decision, it was purely bad execution.
