The players quit on this coaching staff...it's that simple. Players got tired of the hollow messages....and the poor defensive schemes.

I seriously think this was the beginning of the end in 2018....Richard tearing into your best players....for his crap scheme that he threw together for the playoffs....all the while he was out interviewing for another job.

I agree. He had no business interviewing for a job while needing to prepare for the biggest game of the year. And we failed miserably. Only played the colts during the 2018 season and looked that way. It was terrible. After being able to play the run all year we come out and pull that.

I think the players just lost all hope and I really believe the failure to correct the kicking game got the ball rolling . I also believe Jerry was in contact with McCarthy before this season even started maybe as soon as he left GB . I would not doubt way before the season was over the players knew McCarthy was coming here.

I think they just individually or collectively decided to conserve and protect their bodies till they got a coach that gave them a chance . I think they were done with Garrett and were not taking a chance that squeeking into the playoffs would bring him back . Just my opinion . There just was such a lack of effort and urgency its the only thing that makes sense .

So how do you explain away the Commander game, the Rams game?

Actually, this game showed the character of the 2019 Dallas Cowboys.

I can tell you the Eagles feel better seeing a team that realistically was overmatched rise up and win.

Yeah but........but you have to consider the situation.
If the players had played hard and won, then JG might still be here.
The players wanted him gone, and they had to tank to get rid of him.
So considering that, I give the players a pass on that game and the season.

The rams game was the players showing what they could do if they wanted to.
But if they do that in more games, JG is still here and would have been extended.

Now that we have a New HC, a real HC, and mostly new staff, I think we will see a
whole different team next year.
And then we can judge the players by how they do this coming season.

We held the Eagels to 17 points and managed all but 9 points and you state the defense underachieved?
9 Points in the NFL won't win you games bud so direct your comments on the INEPTNESS of our QB and the offense he leads!

If you remember the rb for the eagles went down inbounds instead of scoring on a long run which would've made the score 24(after the extra point) on their final drive. The defense was hot garbage in that game.

From start to finish they all played like they had hummus in their underwear

They quit way before this game. Unfortunately, the Rams layer an egg and gave us this mirage that we hadn’t.

Goedert look just as good the second time around?

RS12 · Jan 19, 2020

Wait a minute Alex. I guess you haven't rewatched Buffalo and Chicago because with the HC job on the line, this team laid down like dogs. Garrett should have been flushed no later than Chicago. If we had an actual GM instead of a fan boy in charge that might of happened.

Because of my masochistic tendencies, I decided to fire up this game again.

It is the first time I have watched it since it happened.

It is amazing the perspective you don't get when watching it in the heat of the moment. You see little nuances you missed the first time.

What was so shocking to me was the lack of urgency that the whole team had. It was like they did not care.

Cooper was especially disappointing. Prescott was not on point.

And the defense, well, we know how they underachieved.

I just remember being mad about the game, but watching it again just was depressing.

It makes me wonder if they had no desire to win, because it sure looked like it.

I would encourage everyone who can watch it again do so and then start to decide how they feel about the talent on this team.

I watched it again a week or so ago.

It didn’t make me rethink the talent level of the team. I still believe they were more talented than their final record of 2019.

I agree.. We had a Offense and Defense that was 12 win team.. With a HC we could have been. Our ST let us way down, And I blame that completely on the HC.. He waited to make a kicker change and should have fired the ST coach also.. Our ST cost us at least 2 or 3 games. A good Offense starting drives to far in our own territory constantly.. Missing FGs that swings momentum.. I would say that ST cost us the division..

It was either that game or Bears game where I was pissed watching Coop loaf all over the field. Made me sick.

This has probably already been said in the previous seven pages... But I wouldn't be surprised if the team would rather lose and ensure Garrett was not retained than make the playoffs and possibly sign an extension.

What bothered me the most is that most eagles fans and the city were ready to turn on Wentz and Pederson instead these guys made them look like all pros. I hate how Wentz looked like garbage all year then they played the Giants, Commanders, Giants and Cowboys who had no intention or desire to win those games and they come out looking like hero's. That's what bothered me the most about this loss.

That's not necessarily a bad thing...let the fans and media jump back on the Wentz bandwagon again next year only to be disappointed once again.

Lack of consistent effort, execution and excitement were all Garrett trademarks. He and his entire staff should be embarrassed.

Here's reality on why we lost to the Eagles.
Can you deal with the truth folks?

9 Pts ain't buying us a donut!

Better throws lead to easier receptions.

That should be easily understood, but one of the side effects of rose colored glasses is blindness.

I watched about 15 minutes of that game because I had the same question from previous games, and I didn't want to watch that garbage again. The Cowboys were not tough, they were like bullies. They beat up on the extremely weak, but when someone stood up to them they seem to back off. It's the worst kind of football you can watch.

Anyone watch a Football Life on Joe Greene? The guy was ready to quit late in the '74 season after a game against the Oilers. They won the SB that year but that's how much he hated losing. How many players in the NFL today can we say that about? I'm sure the money in today's game plays a big role in becoming indifferent.

cowboys1981 · Jan 19, 2020

It was just a complete failure. Try watching our game vs Washington. Why couldn't we put that kind of defensive effort up against Philly the week before.

I can't remember, is this the game Heath got hurt?

You truly are a masochist man... Tom Brady had a far worse performance than What Dak had in last years super bowl and the patriots won.... The team knew Garrett was gone, they had zero belief anymore so why subject yourself to watching that game?

Stop with the defense was the problem.

The offense was the singular cause of the Philadelphia loss and four others.

The defense played poorly in two losses, Green Bay and Chicago. They also played poorly in a win against Detroit.

So the defense didn't show up three times in 16 weeks, but they are the problem.

Stop with the offense was so great. The offense was the reason Dallas underachieved this year. They were pretenders, not contenders.

A PROFESSIONAL also notes how the same team performed in games where they could have solidified their position.

A PROFESSIONAL could have seen how this group blew it versus Buffalo and especially Chicago.

Their performance in this game was completely consistent with that.

Get a grip.

I see you only want to weigh games were they played poorly and ignore games they played well. Again PROFESSIONALS evaluate ALL games not just the bad ones and ignore the good ones. They don't go into evaluations with an axe to grind, the evaluate EVERYTHING. If it turns out that the bad out weighs the good than they do what needs to be done but they don't just pick the bad and ignore the good. If the Cowboys did what you say and base their decisions SOLELY on bad games then they should let EVERY UFA just walk and start over using their draft picks and undrafted free agents.
