The Cowboys lost their first preseason game Sunday to the Rams, and there has already been an uproar of feedback from the play calling, I wonder why.
The Dallas Cowboys did not score a single touchdown against 90% of backups with Trey Lance playing three quarters of football. He threw the ball 41 times.
The play-call was criticized by fans and media, including analyst Mina Kimes on the broadcast of the game, explaining that was a low-percentage throw. The fact that the Cowboys were knocking on the Rams’ door with a dual-threat quarterback made it worse.
Lance missed Jalen Cropper in the end zone. Although it was a low percentage throw, that is a throw Lance had to make. You were a former 3rd overall pick.
What I mean by this is that big Mike has done the same thing in the last few years. He stops running the football.
He really made Trey Lance throw the football 41 times in the preseason opener. Like are you kidding me?
McCarthy agreed after the game that it was a mistake.
“That’s on me and the mechanics with the officials, there was miscommunication there, I wish I had that play call back,” McCarthy confessed to reporters postgame.
Here we go again. Mike McCarthy will cost the Cowboys a game or two again this season because of this stuff, and it can’t continue to happen.
Let’s see how the next preseason game goes against the Raiders on Saturday, but I doubt anything will change.
