Dismal five (5) year performances against better opponents

[goshann]

You know what is scary as a Cowboys fan. We are probably a touchdown worse than San Diego and Denver. Jerry and family still walking around like their poop don’t stink. If they resign McCarthy expect a 5-12 season with junior blaming the salary cap for our problems.

Nah we beat the Bucs and Commanders (should have beaten them twice). Could play with the broncos and chargers. Not saying that’s great but they aren’t much if any better

When you give up 150+ yards in big games, absolutely.

They didn't do that vs niners in the playoffs. Philly is getting TURNOVERS. and if you think the turnovers are all due to dts I can't help you out brotha

Yes, and those three 12 win seasons include an 11-1 record against Washington and NYG.

I still say it’s more about the roster than McCarthy. He isn’t great, but not terrible and needs better players than someone who has better schemes. If that’s who Jerry wants as HC so he can do Jerry things, he has to be able to recognize that and act accordingly.

The two in charge are terrible evaluators and tell themselves things are better than they actually are is many situations.

Maybe that’s good enough for them so they can make their money and be celebrities. Could be. At some point that’s going to run dry.

Kings of the sewer.

Quinns defense held a Niners offense that was averaging 35 ppg to 19 points, on the road.


That loss was on the fat head coach and sorry QB, like usual

And Moore.

So Dallas was not getting turnovers?

they had 1 turnover in 3 playoff games vs niners and packers. You tell me

And packers won't have a chance unless they get one. My point is playing solid d isn't enough

Blogging the Boys' point differential (PD) pretense as dismal may be poor. On the other hand, average scoring against postseason opponents over that particular five-year span is closer to the New York Giants than the Baltimore Ravens.

There were three-straight 12-5 seasons. Pro and con arguments can be made but a vital factor for that subset of seasons was a healthy Dak Prescott.

Even so, one should hope BTB is NOT making a reasonable hypothesis based on point differential because 2021 was the beginning of that 12-5 streak. PD was just as poor that season as 2020 and this past season versus playoff teams relative to the timeframe. And McCarthy enjoyed having his starting quarterback that season.

Pretty sure we lead the league in takeaways 2 years in a row.

Fascinating thing. When you play with a big lead and can force a team to be one dimensional, they are much easier to stop and create turnovers.

When you can't stop the run, can't run the ball and you are playing from behind, not so much.

The same formula we used to create turnovers, good teams used teams against us.

We had 1 legit shot against the Niners, up to the point of Pollard getting hurt and Diggs making a business decision.

I am trying to win a Super Bowl. Sorry but the Bucs and Washington are not contenders.

You’re chances of that happening with skelator running things are slim

I suggest enjoy the wins hope for the best . I quit getting too worked up in 2011. Got excited a couple times but just don’t get worked up anymore

Not saying you do

The infrastructure/chain of command is set up by a GM/owner who couldn't let his QB mistake play it out on the last year of his deal mainly because public perception would have been that Jerry had made a mistake in sticking with Prescott.

Remember we're talking about a guy still saying 500 coaches could win with the talent I put on the field ego.

Jerry doesn't take too well to public criticism. Look at the fallout from the WFAN 105.3 incident.

So he's married at the hip to his 240 million dollar mistake QB and would not know the first thing about starting with a fresh new head coach who isn't a puppet. Or would a coach with balls even want to work here? I don't know.

But the win in spite of Jerry coaching pool is a very small one and even less so that he would be inheriting Dak as well.

So, fun times ahead. With or without McFraud.

I told you that the doings of September 8th set this franchise back 5 years....minimum....doesn't really matter who is at HC to be honest

Maybe we should be looking at this differently. Let's list and put the GM's in brackets and match ups and then predict the winners and losers.

Our three (3) straight 12-5's reminded me of Iowa over the last 15 years.....rack up wins against terrible non-conference opponents and against a weak Big 10 West...then when there is talk of doing better with a new HC, all you hear is "well who are we gonna get that's any better"....repeated every season, whilst doing NOTHING and making no real progress toward anything substantial.

Who is responsible for the lack of depth that hurt the Cowboys when all those starters went down?

Who made the decision not to enter free agency for some O-line help and decided, instead, to start two rookies?

Who decided not to upgrade the RB squad with available and legitimate veteran runners or one of the many promising rookies from the 2023 and 2024 drafts?

Who decided not to have any other available option at QB when Dak came knocking for a new contract.....twice?

Sign McCarthy don't sign McCarthy. Replace him with Kellen Moore, Ben Johnson, Tom Landry's skeleton, it doesn't matter. Nothing is going to change. It just isn't an issue because it is not going to affect anything at all.

Whoever is going to sign the next Cowboys HC contract is nothing more than the next future ex-coach.

Jerry Jones is like the thief that volunteers to help you look for the item that he stole from you.

He's going to get to the bottom of the problems the Cowboys have. He's going to conduct an intense research and detailed analysis to isolate the issue and he's going to solve it if he has to turn over every rock for the solution.

Who decided not to upgrade any position in FA?

Who decided not to higher a real GM, CEO or President?

How does and 80+ year hold have the time or energy to do 3 different jobs at a high level?

Jerry’s problem is that he has his hand in everything. Plus he is a marketing genius. The bottom line is he is raking in the dough and that is how he believes he is successful. As much as us fans want winning to be the end all be all, if your an owner it’s about the money coming in.

Our SB is winning the Division, We just have to get used to it. It is Sad but it is the Truth.

We potentially could have the #2 overall tackle on the board at pick 12.

i'd pass him up.
