Bears / Cowboys

[Sully]

So the Chicago Bears for the 1st time in their 100 year history, fired their head coach Matt Eberflus.
Bear blew a game, on a Hail Mary ( made famous by our legendary Roger Staubach) @ Washington and weeks later fought back, on Turkey Day, but lost
to their rivals Lions. Bears clock mgmt, at the end, was the final straw for the Bear owners. Bears record sits at 4-8

Turning to the circus ( aka: Jerry's Toy), the Cowboys sit at 5-7 after now a 2 game winning streak. But prior, Big Mike has had his own clock mgmt issues
Not in just one game but also playoff games. Dallas finally recorded their 1st home win, vs NYG after 5 straight home butt kicking. Team has the 31st ranking withing the red zone, can't stop the run and is also 2nd to last running the ball BUT unlike the Bears, Jerry instills hope in the starving Cowboys fan base that has not seen a
NFC Conference game within a generation ( ie: 30 years) The hunger has fellow Dallas fans again shopping for a wildcard birth. These fans are buying the pyrite that Jerry has at ProShops and Walmart across America.

Bears, with the legendary Walter Payton, has done little to nothing since the Superbowl Shuffle season. The Cowboys, with The Triplets, has done alittle more regarding visiting the playoffs, but the Bears have been to (2) NFC Conference games this century, 2006 where the Bears went to the Superbowl ( lost to the Colts) and in 2010.

Bears had courage to let go of their coach after a 2nd embarrassment, while Jerry keeps selling FOOLS GOLD with Big Mike

I can't believe so many people think McCarthy is the one factor holding us back from greatness. Especially this year with so many injuries.

THE PROBLEM is Jerry Jones. Why? He is the ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY constant for the 30 year drought of not even getting to a NFC Conference game. Not winning the game, just getting there. And YES, Big Mike is a small part of the problem. He runs very predictable offensive plays. And let's not get started about his clock mgmt, which was a big problem in Green Bay. That was a big reason why he was fired from the Packers because his clock mgmt many problems

I think I've seen twice as many people start threads talking about fans having some renewed hope for playoffs or something than actual people expressing that kind of excitement.

Definitely multiple factors, but this team looked bad before this was injury central on both sides of the ball. Coaching has certainly been a big factor in the product on the field, even if they weren't given upgrades in the offseason.

The roster/GM/ culture is whats holding us back....and the 60 Million Dollar Scam

This opinion is based not just on this season. The poor performance by the team in the post season and not having them prepared to play is sufficient enough. Tired and old offensive scheme, clock management and predictable play calling also is inexcusable.

The clock management debacle by Matt Eberflus at the end of the bears game was the epitome of bad coaching and will be in coaching 101 training films from now until the end of eternity, even if you have delegated the clock watching to another coach you need to have the awareness to step in at some point and take over, he deserved to be fired.

The clock management vs the Lions was squarely on Caleb Williams. They were saving the TO for the fg kick and there was no urgency (wasted 30+ sec) from Williams.

That's why Stephen A Smith makes fun of us. This team sucks butt and everyone in the country knows it, but a few clowns here are convinced Dallas is playoff bound after 2 straight wins, 1 of them coming against the eventual #1 overall draft winner.

No one nurses on the teat of the Dallas Cowboys more than Stephen A. Smith. Who cares what he makes fun of?
