Of his inability to get to more Super Bowls with Rodgers. They got a brand new coach and supposedly it's all better now for Rodgers and look at what happened? The same exact thing. Rodgers choking in NFC title games.

I am not saying McCarthy is some great coach but stop with the narrative that he is bad because of how little success he had with Rodgers.

Rodgers is a regular season front runner. When defenses are looser and offense is much easier to come by. This guy folds over and over in big games. And McCarthy was blamed for it all. New coach comes in and same thing.
McCarthy had the Packers in a downward spiral and now they have been to back to back NFC Championship games. The Cowboys last NFC Championship game appearance was 1995.

Yeah so. We missed our starting center tight end and wide receiver all in the same season. Freddie Bryant Jason
You were referring to the 2017 season = 'RB suspended'
Travis played the entire 2017 season. Go look it up.

Green Bay is better last year and this year because they got a new GM who splurged on a defensive free agent spending spree and rebuilt that whole side of the ball.

GB’s drafting had been crap for years prior to McCarthy being fired and Thompson simply would not spend in free agency. When they changed coaches they also changed GM’s. The GM bringing in defensive help was the biggest difference.
No doubt. Baltimore and Tampa were exceptions, but they had dominant defenses and good running games. Those days are over and have been for some time.

I was not referring to the 2017 season. I was referring to Prescott career. The only season that wasn’t in turmoil was his rookie season season

Go back and read your initial post. You specifically stated Prescott's 2ND SEASON setback was LT injured, RB suspended, Center missing. Prescott's second season was 2017. C Travis Frederick played the entire 2017.

I don’t recall specifying any season. But I no longer care. Other than his rookie season The team was in total turmoil I stated after his rookie season. Which means any season there after. You assumed I was speaking of the next one. Am I conversation was it with you in the first place

You go back and check it. I said after his rookie season the team was in turmoil. I never stated an actual season. Every single season was in turmoil after the rookie season. I don’t think you know what you’re talking about

2018 Cowboys were a team in turmoil -started out 3-5, finished 7-1.

Well --your CZ posting name is well chosen. You are spinning 'round & 'round - not keeping up with what you post or trying to understand my responses.
Goodnight.

McCarthy is a questionable, maybe bad, coach because of the decisions he made here, not because of what happened in GB. The most glaringly bad decision was hiring Nolan. Then his in-game decisions were absolutely mind boggling, especially the fake on 4th and 11 from your own 30 in the 4th qtr. at home down by 4.

This year was a very unusual year with the pandemic so I’m willing to see what next season brings. But there needs to be vast, not marginal, improvement, like winning the East with a WINNING record.
I try not to wear my tin foil hat, but sometimes it just fits too well to leave it off. That 4th & forever had me convinced we were tanking. Then a few games later it all changed.

The only conceivable answer in that play was if he truly thought the defense wouldn’t stop the FT offense, ala Barry Switzer load left against Philly. But at least Switzer’s came with only a couple of minutes left, Big Mike’s was something like 10 minutes left.

It would be one thing if that play was the only one, but it wasn’t. It was almost like Jerry said in his interview “uh, uh, Mike, in my mind, uh, uh, we ned to, uh, you know, uh, be more aggressive.” and Mike went against his instincts trying to satisfy his boss.

What about them? Eli wasn’t Brady, but he was pretty damned good particularly in the playoffs. By the way, he DID beat Brady twice. Just saying. Its not like he was a journeyman or Brad Johnson or Trent Dilfer.

We started our 3-5 b/c Dak sucked until Cooper arrived. That 30-22 score sounds closer than game actually was...... It was 23-7 with 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, We never threatened to win that game.

I’m a cowboys fan. It should be fairly easy to understand

Mr. Average almost threw 50 TD passes.. Won league MVP.. Also has a Superbowl title and consistently gets to the playoffs.

Our winner started the season 1-3 after his 8-8 season the previous year.

Our winner has 1 whole wildcard win in his career in a game where we were the clear superior team.
God it gets better every Day, Rodgers is average Dak is great. I applaud you for trying but you can't help someone who would say AR is average and Dak is great. It's no wonder Jerry wants to sign him Dak is greater than Rodgers.

Ridiculous. Rodgers has the best season of his career but doesn’t win the Super Bowl so that proves Fat Mikey wasn’t reliant on one of the best QB’s to ever play the game?

McCarthy sucks and he was absolutely riding Rodgers arm and skills. Unfortunately it will take Jerry, and some of you, about 5 more years of mediocrity to finally realize that.

Anyone is better than Garrett. Anyone. That said if you look at this season Big Mike did a bad job. He had a lot to overcome, pandemic, injuries, but his in game management was poor. Lots of bad 4th down calls, clock management, bad challenges or lack of, he was bad. They were a 6-10 team in one of the worst divisions in NFL history. Should have hired Meyer.
