Few around here agreed with me, but the warning signs were there as far back as the Denver game. By that point in the season their record was a mirage of wins (some close, others lopsided) over poor-to-mediocre teams, and which obscured what this team really was. And that trend continued and successfully suckered in the optimists who bought the fool’s gold the Boys were selling. Put this team in any other division and they are one game on either side of .500 at best. Say what you want about NE (they were a mess when they played Dallas), but the Cowboys beat NO ONE of consequence all year.

But perhaps the single most disappointing thing about this season - even more so than the utter lack of discipline which arose nearly every single week, win or lose - was the consistent whiny lack of responsibility from Dak on down after each failure. This culture of blaming others and refusing to take any hard looks in the mirror starts with McCarthy, and in my strong opinion was a major factor in the correctable remaining uncorrected all year.

Wrong, the culture of blaming others and refusing to take any hard looks in the mirror starts with the GM.
27 years of failure doesn’t just fall on Dak and McCarthy.

Well next year's first place schedule ought to be fun.

You're right.

Doesn't Prescotts answers sound remarkably similar to Jerry's as far as blaming someone else?

There's a such thing as a culture and this is ours.

It all starts at the top
Until a real GM is hired we are hamstrung
