No one goes for it on 4th and 4 when all you have to do is kick a field goal and let your defense stop Green Bay unless you can line your pockets.

Agreed. Either that or someone needs to accidentally cut the phone line from Jerry Jones owners box down to the coaches.

Mike McCarthy is known to "go for it" in questionable situations. When it pays off, he is a hero but when it doesn't, he becomes an instant zero. That had to be the dumbest call I have ever seen. Since the last 20 dumb calls McCarthy has made. But!!!!! The Cowboys defense and offense blew it in the fourth quarter. It isn't all on one bad play call by McCarthy. The whole team played bad football when it counted the most.

I agree other than I don’t think you throw away points to “go for it.” I am absolutely no football expert, but I think my grandson could have figured that out. Those two interceptions are hard to watch. It also appears their defense is not playing as well as they did.

If I am not mistaken, had the Cowboys only scored a field goal, Greenbay would get the next possession to have a shot at come back. When the team that has first possession only scores three points, the other team gets one possession to make it back. After that, first score wins. I believe that is how it works these days. Correct me if I am wrong.
