Bucky Brooks: Mike McCarthy Has This Team Rolling

[AsthmaField]

I used to beat up guys like him....

People point to the teams we beat but those same teams beat teams fighting for a playoff spots right after losing to us. The Bengals beat the Steelers after losing to us and the Niners beat the Cards after losing to us. The teams we beat weren't as bad as their record indicated.

This is very true, but some people just look at the W/L record to determine if a win is worthy.

The truth is, Dallas looked like a completely different team the last few weeks. Very different than the early season Cowboys. When I say Dallas has improved it is because of how they played, not simply because they won a game. Much more discipline, urgency, physicality, and smarts.

Had they played this way all year, they’d have the playoffs locked up by now. Unfortunately, with McCarthy having zero offseason with the team, that never was going to happen.

1. The team is playing better down the stretch

2. Garrett had a healthier team, no Covid adversity etc... and finished 8-8. Pretty crazy to think that MM could possibly finish 7-9 considering the adversity, injuries, and historically awful defense.

3. This recent success does not absolve this staff from all the mistakes. I still think Nolan needs to go. We clearly need to rebuild on D— and a 4 game winning streak and a 7-9 record does not mean there shouldn’t be some serious changes

You beat a few bad teams and suddenly you’re rolling.

Beat me to it, the hype of this little streak is ridiculous. Reminds me of after our first 3 games last year.

Lets hope we don't get out-coached today, because that's the only way we lose.

Not sure why everytime a poster like this try's to put something positive - there's a wave of negative comments here just bashing how we beat crappy teams.

Packers have beat the following teams:
Jags, Panthers, Lions, Eagles, 49ers, Texans

Saints have beat the following teams:
Lions, Chargers, Panthers, 49ers, Broncos

Seattle have beat the following teams:

49ers, Eagles, Jets, WFT

The Cowboys have zero wins over teams with winning records. All three of those teams, not to mention the other 3 teams in our division, can claim otherwise.

The fact is the Cowboys have only beat crappy teams. That's not being negative, it's just the truth.

I think saying the Cowboys are on a roll is a stretch. This would have have accurate had say 2 of those 3 wins come against playoff teams. The 3 games they won were against backup QB's.

It's better to say they are playing better to the point that they are winning games they would lose earlier in the year. They are around average

yeahhhhhh arriba amigo..., bring on the jags... oh wait, we don't have the jags this week. ok never mind.

I would consider them on a roll. Back up QB, Makeshift OL and still putting up 30 a game these past few weeks. Combine that with good special teams play and a defense forcing turnovers. You dont pick your schedule and credit should be given for the turn around. Even if we dont make the playoffs, a lot of positives heading into next season.

Judge unhampered by Garrett's presence... being out-coached is a real possibility.

Rolling.

May be rolling into the off-season after 30 more minutes of football. Thankfully the Giants suck so a comeback is still realistic.

MM remembers Andy Dalton is his QB and Mike Nolan is his DC.
