And not when Bailey missed a yard kick way left in the first quarter and banged a yard attempt off the goal post and between the uprights in the second quarter.

Sure, Bailey had made kicks from beyond 55 yards in pregame warmups and had drilled 28 of 30 attempts this season before the game-winning attempt, but he wasn't striking the ball particularly well. This is when DeMarco Murray is of the most use. He has a natural forward lean, which is among the reasons why he's only been tackled for a loss 12 times in carries this season.

Just so you know, only three runners with more than carries have a lower percentage of being tackled for loss than Murray. You see so many situations where you have negative plays in those situations. We felt like we were in Bailey's range to kick the game winner. What happened next will leave you shaking your head or waking up screaming in the middle of the night sometime this week. With Bailey lined up to attempt the game winner, Garrett noticed the clock running down and called a timeout as Bailey approached the ball.

Mat McBriar , the holder, and Bailey each said they weren't worried about the time. As Arizona's players celebrated, Garrett slowly pulled off his headset and baseball cap and ran his left hand through his thick shock of red hair.

While Garrett will never admit to frustration -- he dislikes that word -- his body language shouted frustration. Once Garrett returns to his Valley Ranch office, looks at the video and removes his emotion from the situation, he'll realize he made a poor decision. No matter how many times Jerry Jones or Garrett's supporters tell us about the coach's intelligence, we simply can't forget this is the first time he's ever been a head coach at any level.

He's making crunch-time decisions for the first time. Many have worked, which is why Dallas has already exceeded last season's win total, but some haven't. Skip to main content Skip to navigation. Taylor: Garrett's use of timeouts was just dumb. Dallas Cowboys. Baltimore Ravens. We felt pretty good about where we were. Once you get to that yard line we felt like that was a pretty good opportunity for us. You cannot be serious, Jason.

There were 23 seconds left on the clock when the Cowboys obtained a first down at the Cardinals ' yard line, so Garrett's insinuation that the offense clocked the ball "quickly" is erroneous. On top of that, spiking the ball "as a timeout" is the entire reason no one in their right mind can understand what was going through your own yesterday. With two timeouts in hand, how in the world do you not use one with 23 seconds on the clock?

Even if you decide you do not want to try to advance the ball down the field, why not at least give yourself the option? If you mistakenly want to settle for a yard field goal attempt, why not run Romo to the middle of the field, let the clock run down, then attempt the field goal with your kicker in a better spot? Of course, the no-brainer coaching decision is to immediately call timeout and work harder to get the ball downfield.

Instead, Garrett coached scared, disregarding the numbers in favor of not risking a big loss. For Garrett's decision to let the clock tick down to be correct, we would have to assume the Cowboys' offense has less than a 6 percent chance of gaining six yards on a passing play. Anyone think that is the case?
