That was a disaster at the end but I'm surprised Dak doesn't get any heat for it. A 40 mil QB should handle the situation better than that even with no help from the bench.

At least I have faith they'll fix this problem instead of repeating it over and over as Garrett did.

The reality......
50+ FG are not a gimmie in the NFL.
2nd and 6 with 33 sec left and one time out to go.
Why is it a run play with pollard and not a pass dang even Romo commented on that?
3rd and 3with 28 sec left
More than enough time to get another shot passing to get closer and spiking the ball?

What 40 million QB?
A 40 million QB would have called a Time out immediately after the play was over without even looking over at the sidelines.
A 40 million QB would have taken another shot to get us closer than a 56 yard Field Goal attempt.
MM trusted the odds on a 56 yard FG more than he trusted Prescott to put the ball in the air one more time.
Jeez didn't you guys see how Moore was hugging Dak after the game on the bench?
Ask yourself did that image look like a 40 million QB?????
Looked like a Dad hugging his son after he finally got an A on his exam......

Let's be honest, a good coach wouldn't let Jerry tell him who to play, where and when. Good coaches tend to be control freaks. The Dallas Cowboys are somewhat trapped into these mediocre coaches as a result.

Sad to say but, look at who Jerry likes to hire... Ex-coaches who are basically yes men. Parcells was the one exception since Jimmy and he didn't stay long because of Jerry's meddling. Coaches know if they come to Dallas that they have to hang their gonads on the wall to enter the building. Good coaches just say NO!

Garrett was awful. In 18 games since McCarthy got here the “team” is light years better.

As I said before , MM is a lucky coach who won a super bowl behind Aaron Rogers and the packers great front office . They got better when he was fired . He has been lucky throughout his career having HOF caliber QBs . All the symptoms of bad coaching by MM are evident : verbal , body language , communication, in game decisions , clueless moves etc . Now he is basically a bus driver with Kellen managing the offense and Quinn the defense . Jerry likes him so far as he is exactly the character he needs and will get fired if the cowboys don’t make the playoffs this or next year or if kellen gets an offer to coach somewhere else . Kellen is the rising star .

That wasn't the first time, nor will it be the last, the Cowboys screw up clock management. And while not his call, he's still responsible as the HC for that debacle at the end of the half with the roughing the kicker. McCarthy and this staff can be too aggressive at the absolute wrong times.

Not only that, but who's calling the shots when it comes to BLOWING UP the punter??????????? There were points to be had right before the end of the 1st half and for some dumb *** reason someone gave the orders to send the house when they should of tried to setup a decent return. The way Dak and the Boys were moving the ball there's probably a great chance they could of put up AT BEST 3 MORE POINTS at the end of the half.

He trusts Fassel way too much. I bet Fassel was in his ear the whole final series just telling him to get the ball to the 40 and that's it
I can 100% see that happening. Fassel has a strange infatuation with Zuerlein
