So is nobody else but me livid about Booger putting his best mad face on last week just to temporarily calm some of you down? I knew all along it was a ruse....he had absolutely ZERO intention of firing Corky and hiring Payton....and news flash, Payton ain't coming here next year. The best and worst things landed square in our lap on January 9th....worst was that we didn't stay seeded #4 so we could have drilled AZ...best is that we climbed to the #3 seed which enabled Booger and Chuckles to see what we really were as a team. The football gods were just begging them to see the light and do the right thing....but nope....more of the same S....maybe its because I'm about to go through a lame duck season with my Sundevils that has me so gutted....I dunno. But having Junior back as OC, and Corky back patrolling the sideline with his Waffle House menu has me just about as Cowboy depressed as I've EVER been....and this includes The Catch and the 1995 NFC Championship.
Unm ok. What was he to do, what was all bad. Sounds like you just don't like JJ or this team and have no hope for the future. Good luck buddy

Was there really any doubt that McCarthy was going to be kept as head coach for at least one more year, especially with Payton saying he wants to take a year off. Quinn returning was the biggest question mark. Moore returning became a given based on the last half of the season and the playoff game. He went from hot commodity to cursory interview.
Payton taking a year off had NOTHING to do with Boogers ruse.

Drilled AZ? They lost 5 of their last 6 games. Guess who they beat, two weeks before San Fran came to town?

Payton was never coming to Dallas, and coaches who go from 6-10 to 12-5 in their second year are rarely fired. There was zero reason to expect either.

So no, I'm not outraged. I didn't delude myself into believing any of the things that seem to have set you off. Have fun with that.

------So no, I'm not outraged

Going on my refrigerator until about late October....you'll hear back from me fancy britches.

The team is full of terrible choking front runners led by a complete moron that never adjust the offense at OC , a DC that chokes when it counts and a meat head HC that is only a yes man proxy for a senile decrepit GM/owner . Yes it’s bleak, Cowboys suck and will keep sucking. The punter and a linebacker are pretty good and a corner that can be exciting now and then and that’s about it.

Didn't say that it did. There was no reason for US to believe that Jones was going to fire McCarthy after a 12-5 season and a playoff game that was still winnable in the fourth quarter. The part about Payton should only have served as confirmation for US that there would not be a change.

Based on past activity by the team, it was reasonable to believe that the Joneses might be willing to push McCarthy aside for Payton, but Payton saying he wants to sit out 2022, took any possibility of that away for US to believe that might be realistic.

Payton was never coming here this season. I think MM has this season though. If he doesn't achieve anything, then, I am sure the Payton rumors can hold some water.

We would have drilled Arizona?

Didnt we play them two weeks earlier, in Dallas, and they kicked our arse?

Not sure why you think it would have been any different in the playoffs. This team was going to be one and done no matter who they played, with the lone exception being the Eagles. We probably would have beat them again, maybe.
