I'm guessing he didn't challenge that catch because if he lost it, they would've been out of timeouts. Which again, falls on him for completely wasting two second half timeouts in the first place.
I'm beyond sick of the long developing deep plays on 3rd & short, though. If it's 3rd and 2 or 3rd and 3, just get the first down. Don't send everyone downfield and risk a sack or an incomplete pass on a relatively low percentage play.
Might be best to just lose next Sunday too. I was thinking about this last night. If miraculously this team actually were to win out in the regular season, what's the ceiling for this team? A divisional game loss? Which could actually save McCarthy's job? Yeah, I'll take a hard pass on that.
