I know, because we've been down that road before.
Football is a team sport. We know that. It is argued that its 3 phases to a game...but I would argue that it is more...maybe 4. Coaching, offensive execution, defensive execution, and special teams execution.

1 area of a team can under perform, and a team can still win a game. We've seen teams win games that they had no business of winning...because other areas of the team stayed true to the task and picked up the slack.
One constant of Dallas' losses this year has been one person. Guess who that would be?
I thought the team gave good effort in the Philly loss, I had no problem with the team's fight in that game. Simply ran into a better team that night.
In its 3 bad losses this season, Dak has had a poor QBR and poor play.
It starts with the QB on offense. Do you think Troy Aikman would let his offensive line, RBs, or WRs get away with poor play? hell no...he'd be tearing them a new one in the huddle or over on the side line. He'd get SOMEONE fired up to play.
38.4 against the Bills, 33.6 against the Cardinals, and 48.5 against the 49ers.
If this were a rare occurrence..you could let it go. However...each season Dak has a bad stretch of at least 3 games where he has subpar QBR ratings and poor play, and the team looks bad.
Last year he was 19.9 against the Bucs, 42.8 against Green Bay, 15.9 against Washington.
2021 22.6 vs the Broncos, 11.2 vs the Chiefs,48.4 vs the Raiders.
2019 35.8 vs Green Bay, 27.8 vs the Pats, 39.7 vs the Eagles
2018 20.2 vs the Panthers, 15.7 vs the Seahawks, 41.9 vs the Texans, 23.3 vs the Titans, 19.6 vs the Colts
2017 47.8 vs the Broncos, 47.4 vs Atlanta, 14.3 vs Philly, 19.9 vs San Diego, 48.3 vs Seahawks
2016 17.2 vs New York


Dak will get you only so far. He needs a fiery Jimmy Johnson type of coach...a coach that will just up and cut a backup player for one poor play on say special teams to shake up the team and show them he means business.
Unfortunately, Dak is on a team owned by Jerry Jones (who wouldn't allow you to chew his star QB like that)...and Mike McCarthy is not that kind of coach.
Neither was former Jason Garrett...and where is he now?

In the meantime, this is gonna be another season where Dallas sits early.
We would need the #1 seed to have any shot of making a deep playoff run.
Dallas is undefeated at home this year, 3-4 on the road.
On the road...I dunno what it is...but they are a completely different animal than they are when they play at home.

You can get offended and defensive if you want but I am just trying to give you a reality check because you badly need one on this.

I'm sorry I just can't take anything you say serious on this after that previous post. Anyone who saw that game and blamed the QB is just not the sharpest knife in the drawer or just too emotionally blinded as a fan to see the truth. And I don't think its needs any further explination, its speaks for itself.

Dallas did not "sit" early in 2021, 2022 and will not in 2023 either. They were clearly not one of the top 2 NFC teams in any of those years and are clearly not in 2023. They are a good team, a strong playoff team each year, but clearly not as talented on both sides of the ball as SF and Philly. Both those team have much more size on defense and at LB and are much more physical on defense and have a much stronger and more physical running game.

They will lose in the playoffs to one of them NOT because their QB sucks or they are underachievers or choke artists, they will lose because they will play a superior team and lose to a superior team.

They are very close, 95% of the NFL would kill to be in their position and have their roster, but there is still a gap between them and SF/Philly. And a gap between them and the top 2 AFC teams as well.

The issue is not QB anymore than it is for 28 of the 32 NFL teams. We all want a top 5 guy, but there are only 4-5 that are difference makers on that level. The cowboys biggest issues are penalties and a lack of size and physicality on defense and defense. There is a laundry list of HOF QB's who struggled to get to or win a SB for nearly their entire career for year because of those same king of issues. You can have a top 5 guy and still struggle for years to break through and get in line for a serious SB crack.

some teams can win if their defense scores, or their special teams score enough. It is damn hard for a team to win when their offense does not score or play well.
The only one getting offended is you...hence the need to 'correct' someone with a different viewpoint. You can be shown video evidence of a point, as I have done in the past, and you will still try to argue your point.
Was Arizona a superior team to Dallas? Hellz no...they were even playing a backup QB, and still made Dak look silly.
I have no problem with the team effort or his effort against Philly. That night the just did not go their way.
However, San Fran is not a monster juggernaut.
This year, they too have had some lapses...and Dallas has the talent on their team to give them a much better game than they showed this season. But they certainly did not show it in that game.
As for taking anything seriously...numbers do not lie. Live by your own for all I care. I'm done.

I can make the same hollow and empty argument for any team in the NFL, they ALL have ugly losses to inferior teams. As much as you always pretend that is unique to Dallas, its not and never is.

But regular season losses didn't have squat to do with anything I said in the post you quoted anyway, that just you moving the goalposts to pretend to have a relevant point.

The issue is not the QB and the issue is not them underachieving in the playoffs. The issue is they are not the best team in the NFC, nor were they in 2022 or 2021. At best they were the 3rd best team each year and likely are this year.

You can mindlessly repeat yourself and project some level of offense if you want, its fine with me. I'm just giving you a needed dose of reality on this.

The QB did not lose the game, the defense got run over in near historic fashion and they got bullied bad on both sides of the ball and made a ton of back breaking penalties.

Let me just say that McCarthy is the absolute stupidest coach in the NFL. You have to be mildly retarded to have the clock management issues he does. Just run it 3 times, make Detroit burn their TOs and leave them less than 1:00 to drive for a tying/ winning TD. They come out throwing and it almost cost them. Thankfully, the moron from Detroit didn’t report. But geeeeezus is McCarthy just a stupid fat sack of crap.

Stuck with him and the “MVP” quarterback. Just have to laugh to keep from crying.

Personally I would have run the ball there too (I'm old school), but if they get the 1st down its a tremendous call that practically seals the game. Its not 1985, most teams who had already thrown the ball for nearly 400 yards will throw the ball in that situation in the modern game. That's just how the game typically is played today. The vast majority of the most celebrated young NFL head coaching minds throw the ball in the situation and go for the win, they don't want to give the ball back to an offense and QB like that. The rules today overwhelmingly favor the offense.

but again.....

Posts like this is why I always say the cowboys have some of the dumbest fans in the NFL. "McCarthy is the worst coach in the NFL, Dak is the worst QB in the NFL, Jerry Jones is the worst owner in the NFL!!!"

Yet here they are about to win 12 games for the 3rd consecutive year and likely going to be the #2 seed in the NFC.

Yet they have the WORST coach, WORST Quarterback and WORST owner, WORST GM in the NFL.

Childish, boring, predictable and just plain stupid. What miserable winners and losers some of you are.

Didn’t say “worst”, I said stupidest. And that he is. In the last 2 weeks alone, he’s:

1. Handed the ball off at the 1 to a FB who fumbled (unless the all World MVP qb checked to that play)

2. Threw the ball on 2nd and 14 to save Detroit their final timeout and :40 which almost cost them the game.

Every single analyst on espn and nfl network has said in a round about way since the game “not sure what MM was thinking” and had that 2pt call not gone their way, the Dallas fans, the Dallas media etc would ready to crucify him. That being said, they caught a massive break with Philadelphia choking to Arizona. Coupled with the officiating break Saturday night and maybe there is something to this breaking the Jimmy Johnson curse thing that folks are talking about that is starting to show.

officials screwed a call earlier in the game. Called a tripping penalty on the wrong player.
Sometimes karma gets it right.

And now the audio is out of the ref announcing “70 is reporting as eligible”.

Turn off ESPN and the NFL network.

30 years ago it was real coverage, today its a complete joke and the fakest thing on television. Whatever gets clicks is what they are going to say, and nothing gets clicks like torching the Dallas Cowboys coach, owner, QB and GM as the biggest morons on the planet. You say that stuff about the bears or the lions or 30 other NFL teams and no one cares. You say it about the Dallas Cowboys and its gets a billion clicks within hours.


You put Detroit in the same situation, they throw the ball there. You put Cincinnati in the same situation, they throw the ball there. You put KC in the same situation, they throw the ball there. You put Buffalo in the same situation, they throw the ball there. You put Miami in the same situation, they throw the ball there. That is the modern NFL game. And most of the people on ESPN and the NFL Network know this, but saying that does not generate clicks and views. Torching "Americas Team" for every conceivable fart they let is what generates clicks and views. And OH BOY does it generate them.

Me personally, I run the ball but I'm really old school. I can think of a few teams that still would, but most would not given they have a hot QB who has passed for nearly 400 yards and just torched that defense. And in most cases they are probably correct. The rules have been tipped so far in the offense and QB's favor that its almost impossible to stop a key late drive with a solid QB.

Its best to never point to something said on ESPN, NFL Network or twitter about the Dallas cowboys as evidence for your argument. That is literally the worst thing you could do. And that goes for me too, its a bad idea.

There is nothing faker on TV.

That may be a big part part of the problem with the fans like you that I am talking about. Your allowing that fake BS to work you into a shoot (thinking its real).

Instead of enjoying the fact that your team is likely the #2 seed and won 37+ games in 3 years, your in a constant state of obsessive anger and disgust and every single post is the same nuclear meltdown of "our HC, QB, owner and GM and the biggest morons ever!!!!". Good Lord what a dreadfully awful state of mind to be in after every....single....game win or lose.

The more I have looked at the video, the more I blame #70 of the lions. He was not an eligible receiver yet he was running up and getting the refs attention to report, just as the actual guy who was going to be eligible was trying to report.

You can lay some blame on the ref but that #70 did distract the ref and was not even eligible anyway based on the formation.

But what gumption Dan Campbell had to go for 2 there. If they had gone for it and just failed to convert, it would have been mentioned in the highlight package and questioned in the post game, and then just forgotten the rest of the week. He would have got some heat in Detroit from a few people but ESPN and the national media would have moved on within an hour. If McCarthy or nearly any Dallas HC ever had made that call and not got it, they would be crucified all week long and there is almost nothing else ESPN and NFL Network would have talked about all week. That literally would have been 70% of all NFL coverage all week long. That is an undeniable fact and reality.

But when other coaches do it, its balls of steel. Its a smart, aggressive call and the coach is trying put the game away.

And because this is how the media handles it, too many cowboys fans get right in line with them and parrot the same garbage. Only the cowboys HC would be stupid enough to make that call McCarthy made.

No, most modern NFL teams would have in that exact situation as well. And the former players on TV looking to get clicks know this. But saying that will not get them clicks, retweets and likes. But going the other way with it will generate them MASSIVE numbers of clicks, retweets and likes.

The modern ESPN/NFL Network coverage is fake as it gets.

Hope this entire coaching staff and worthless QB are all in the unemployment line in the morning.

NOW you have something legit to bytch and moan about so let it rip. I did last year after the playoff loss, no sense in repeating it all again. Nothings changed, they play like cowards in the playoffs.

Like Jimmie Johnson and Terry Bradshaw said at the half, you can't play scared and nervous. And that is what they do once the playoff start.

I hope you can find some happiness and joy in your life. Whether its tigers, cowboys or politics, EVERY single post form you is disgust, seething anger and bitterness. I've never seen you have any other emotion in any post.

If they fire McCarthy, there are only 2 real difference makers.

1- Bill Belichick

2- Nick Saban

Maybe Jim Harbaugh?

I'm not convinced Dan Quinn is the difference maker. Coaching the cowboys is like coaching the Yankees. Its not like any other job, its a circus. Most coaches who could thrive all across the NFL are not really cut out for Dallas.

Quinn??

The guy who’s given up 40+ thru 3 qtrs today to a scrub rookie QB? Yeah, he’d be great.

I’m plenty happy when my teams win, but I wanna see that fat sack of shht and garbage ass qb gone tomorrow

Slow down and read, I just said I don't think it should be him. But you can take it to the bank he will be a HC in the NFL within a week or so.

Hopefully it’s an NFC team because that would be one less contender. What a pathetic embarrassment of a game and season really. Dak has to go. He is a choker to the nth degree

They've already done that about 4-5 times since the mid 90's.

Its rare to win 12 games 3 consecutive years, no matter the outcome. What they need is a game changing coach with gravitas that 99.9% of NFL coaches do not have.

That's why I point to Belichick and Saban. Or maybe Harbaugh.

They got it right with Bill Parcells 20 years ago, it was just too late in his career for an extended run.

Yeah well your kind of an idiot where Dak is concerned.

Dak did not give up 48 points and TD's on 5 consecutive possessions. If your QB has to score 50 points to win a playoff game, the problem is not your QB.

Wouldn’t have needed 49 if the clown hadn’t given them 14 with his 2 INT or cost Dallas 3 by taking a sack that took them out of FG range. Defense was trash and Quinn can’t get canned soon enough but that’s 17 points the “mvp candidate” cost them
