When was it that you lost faith in Moore as OC?

I still have faith in Moore. He's had to learn on the job more. But I think he'll come along.

And I'm telling YOU that the crooked officials helped the Bengals win and advance in the playoffs since the 1st round of the playoffs. Pretty much destroys you mentioning the Bengals.
So say's head of the tin foil hat club. Funny how good QB play can help a team overcome a poor OL except in Dallas, I didn't see the OC or the HC on the field only saw poor execution from a top paid QB.

Actually feel rather sorry in a way for Moore.
His young career is strapped to Dak Prescott, and literally stuck in the mud here in Dallas until he can leave.
His career may already be over by then.

But your wanting to deflect where the sole responsibility lies. Why?

It makes me think you’re not accepting or realizing the puppet roles these coaches must endure.
they dont have to endure it , they could quit, and they chose to accept what they endure lol.
They knew what it would be like before taking the job.

And I am not deflecting, I am expanding ! Everyone knows jerry is the # 1 problem, he is the one who hires these bozo coaches, and sets
up situations like mike not being able to tell kellen what to do, or call plays himself if he wants to.
But mike knew all that going in, so he is coaching for the money, and is a coward.

One can't do much offensively when your Oline is crap which affects the running and passing game.

I blame Oline Coach Joe Philbin for the woes of this Offense than I do O-Coordinator Kellen Moore.
I don't blame the coach...I blame injuries and an inept center....in this case

Pizza face is our only hope as a good coach. We like our family. Stevens boy as QB and pizza face as coach/draft guru. Gonna be cool.

It was the same time last season, mid season. Dak started to hold the ball for an extra second and a half, he was lost. An extra second and a half makes good o-lines look poor, Cooper started speaking out, they pushed a hurt Zeke because of his bloated contract and it all unraveled.
We can fix the penalties on the line, we can run Pollard more, we lost Coop but I like Cee-dee, JW, Gallup & Tolbert... can we get Dak back to three steps and release?

That's the adjustment Moore never made imo, Dak was holding the ball longer (injured too) and it never got figured out.
is that your eye test that says it was extra 1.5 seconds? where did you pull that stat?

As usual, you refuse to acknowledge how them crooked officials helped the Bengals get calls, especially late in the game, to help the Bengals upset the Titans.

Understood but the target and responsibility should be on the one who is creating this dysfunctional situation.

Now if you want to establish all of our coaches are bozos that’s fine but that is more of the norm in our dysfunctional organization .

We’ve only had two Coaches or HC’s which walked away as a result of Jethro’s ways in Jimmy and Bill.

But this is why we can’t take our football operations as serious . I’m not sure why fans thought McCarthy was going to be any different . The way Moore was basically dictated to him should have said it all.

Of course . Sorry I didn’t recognize this at first . AC’s ridiculous “ crooked ref” allegation is to take away any credit from Bengals QB for their success.

I was fine with McCarthy not messing with the offense these first coupla years.. but now three years in he should feel comfortable enough with the old Cowboys offense which is descended from the Sid Gilman/Air Coryell offense that he can infuse some of his own WCO based concepts. And he definitely needs to reign Boise Boy in come red zone time. All this getting cute in the red zone made all my hair fall out! LOL!
One of the main reasons for Fat Mike being fired in Green Bay was his offense had become stale and outdated. Fans were happy to see him go. He had one of the best QBs in history, but he struggled to get the most out of him. Stale and outdated are two things that the Dallas offense does not need.

Good post.

The reason I thought it might be different? Hope. That's all we have.

A big deal was made of Jerry letting MM choose his assistants, but still....Moore was basically forced on him.

Does anyone really believe MM wanted Moore, or did he just say that knowing that would help him get a 30 million dollar payday?

But Jerry always wants to choose the coordiantors. He even had Parcells retain Zimmer and stick with the 43 for two years.

His fingerprints are still all over the offense as far as I'm concerned.

No, he doesn't call plays or dictate scheme, but he much more than likely offers his "opinion" as to what he may 'like to see.'

Having a puppet in place means he will be listened to, so we are stuck with learning on the job types for 15 years now. That's what Mr "I'll do anything to win" offers his fanbase.

He really should have just taken the sidelines instead of Campo to get it out of his system but he knows how humiliated he would have been.

Having Garrett for a mentor is definitely a black mark on his resume. :laugh:
He only had one years experience
Mcvey had several years experience
I think he’s a very smart guy who had he worked a few years with as an assistant could be really gods. Jerry decided to let him learn on the job and that is not the ideal way to do it. But that’s where we are so I’d expect him to get better but like starting a rookie on day one, there will be growing pains

And the guys they brought in after have seen better?

Yah, not remembering that one. Doesnt make any sense that all of a sudden after destroying the NFL the first 8 games that he just starts holding the ball for 1.5 seconds.

Sure it does, it makes plenty of sense. What make no sense is our O-line eroded with a pair of 25 year old players like Lael and CW, they didn't change or get worse, they were just exposed. They were irrelevant the way Dak was getting it out weeks 1-7

Go re-watch the opening game against TB and then watch our games against the DE, LV, KC or the playoff game, watch how much longer Dak is holding the ball.
Something changed. I believe it was a combo of injury and the defenses schemes Dak started to see.

He was uncomfortable and it showed the rest of the year. OC made zero adjustments
