Yeah, you know, I think one of the things, the risks that you take when you hire someone someone even with 25 years of NFL coaching experience, as Brian Schottenheimer has in making the head coaches, he really becomes responsible for managing the entire game for the first time in his life.
It was the 10th time they scored at least 30 points, which is rare for that to happen.
If you coach it right and you manage the situation correctly, that those two things don't happen to me.
where Schottenheimer made his biggest mistake of many was, you know, after they got the Nate Wiggins pass interference call and got the first down with a timeout on the two-yard line, like, at that point, he should have decided, with all the injuries they have on defense, especially in the secondary, we're winning the game right here.
Dak Prescott throws the ball over the head of George Pickens, who never had a chance even though he was open and shot.
In other words, he wanted to get rid of it safely and quickly so they had time to kick the field goal.
But really, he probably should have gone for it on fourth down if they failed on third down.
He said after the game that, you know, he gave himself an F for his play calling because they didn't win the game.
And I think I would have done what he did on fourth down and go ahead and tie it up.
