If McCarthy went 2 up by 5 (26-21), then why would he not go for 2 when down 21-19? He's attempting to put the game on "7 " when it sits on "5" at 26-21... Why did he not use the same logic when the game sat on "2" at 21-19? You can't reason with stupid.

The original poster is 100% correct. This is simple Math. The SCORE of the game should dictate whether or not you go for 2 NOT the juncture of the game. This old school notion of "it's too early to go for 2" is a farce. Now it might not come into play but McCarthy made a mistake by kicking the XP being down by 2 instead of going for 2. There is no risk in going for 2 being down by 2 as you still need a FG to take the lead whether you're down by 1 or down by 2. Whereas, you're taking a risk not going for 2 to at least ATTEMPT to tie the game should your team not score again. Stupid.

I will tell you why you are wrong. Each team could have 3 or more possessions still. Too many things can happen. If you were down 14-6 in the 1Q, you wouldn't go for 2.

Yeah McCarthy just sucks as a coach.:think2:

Aces and DG are completely wrong.

If they miss and its 21-19, a Dallas TD makes its 2 score game, with over a quarter left.

21-20, GB just scored a TD>

NOW you of for 2 points.

At this stage of the game, 9 minutes left, you make its 7 point game.

I don't care if people have a different opinion on a play, but don't act like your opinion is the only possible correct one & then belittle my opinion. I've seen many coaches go for two in that scenario. What I find ridiculous is that coaches like McCarthy need a chart to tell them what to do.

You absolutely don't go for 2 there.the score is 21-19.if you go for 2 and miss and Dallas comes down and scores a td you are down 2 scores.you kick the xt ra point and Dallas scores you are only down 1 score.you only go for 2 when you have to.

Because they were 2 completely different situations.

Easy with the stupid comments, especially when you are the guy thats wrong.

Lol. People study this shit so these guys don't make irrational decisions to go for it when it's not necessary.

He's a blockhead when it comes to game and clock management. Always has. Anyone can roam the sidelines with #12 at the helm and win 9+ games a year.

Thanks for that statement. Shows your brilliance.

These guys do this for a living & most have been in the business for 20-30 years. If you can't use your gut and/or common sense to make those decisions, maybe they shouldn't be coaching. Almost came back to haunt them on that Bryant catch. Glad it didn't, or at least hasn't yet. There's no definite right or wrong here, but some of you act as though you know all.

 

[gambler1270]

Why would you want to put yourself in a position to be down 2 scores?you put pressure on the other team not your own team.

Give it up, you're wrong.

No; McCarthy was wrong to not go for 2 down by 2. Jason Garrett was also wrong in not attempting a FG down 26-21 given it was 4th and 3 with 4:00+ remaining. Luckily for McCarthy, the Pack scored again and it's a futile point. But astute people are watching and the word is out on McCarthy. Great game. Was Dez's catch a catch?

Easy CY. Let's just let this one go.
