GMFB just had a segment discussing this. It was based off of Jerry's comments from yesterdays PC.

Jerry's comment was, something like ... it is not so much what Kellen Moore wasn't, it is what Mike is ...
So they dissected that as to what he may have meant.

As they believe it came down to the last 2 years playoff loses to SF. They said what a great offense they have had. But yet 12 points and 17 points in playoff losses just is not cutting it. This is where MM comes into calling plays.
Jerry also said something like ... they feel the offense can be where they want it to be now as to moves made ...

They said Dallas has had this great offense, but can't get further in the playoffs. So is MM the answer for this, and is the season all on him now.
And that Jerry over what happened the past 2 years, decided a change was needed to overcome this?

The consensus was the defense will improve, as we seen the additions, but what did they do to improve the offense, so it should at least be the same. Then one said well they they added Brandon Cooks, so that will help a lot.

The other thing that was mentioned, MM's best year when calling plays they went 15-1, but lost in the divisional round. And had a better overall offense than the previous year stats wise.
That was 2011.
Of course in 2010 at 10-6 they won the SB.

On GMFB, Kyle Brandt hates the Cowboys because he says “we’re always talking about them!” Well, no one tells that show to do segment after segment about Dallas. They didn’t have to pick apart Jerry’s comments and try to figure out what they mean.

I just wish he would concede that it isn’t the Cowboys fault that they’re constantly at the forefront of that show.

I do like the show though.

Yes Brandt hates Dallas. I swear some comments he made before the season started last year, as well going into the playoffs. Sounded exactly like rants we seen on here. :laugh:
He was as bas as Stephen A. Smith.

I was surprised today when he said Dallas was a good team or very good team, but they need to go further. Which is true, we all know that. But I was surprised he said it without the rant as he done before. I think that TB win settled him down some as after that win, he said good, they showed they can win a playoff game and do so convincingly or something like that.

I said this last month in a post. This team is good enough to get to the NFCCG. We know what Dak is: a very good QB who, for whatever reason, hasn’t shown that he can lead a team deep into the postseason. MM must make up the difference with coaching, because Dak isn’t going anywhere.

...Jazzy, I'd stay away from those idiots. They know, about much as we know.

As for general opinion. MM still has reigns to very good team. Will be fresh air to see, how and he Shotty combine things, to make it work.

I have faith, they can do it. We were so close last year.

If the team 2023 regular season follows along the line of the previous two, then the HC's efforts are a success to that point.
McCarthy must then ensure his coaching staff and team earnestly prepare for, then perform in playoff football against each opponent so as to advance in each round.

Well, they do have Jason McCourtney on there who played in the league for over a decade, and they have Peter Schrager on there and he is very well connected around the league. However, Kyle Brandt and Jamie Erdhal are about like some of the football savvy posters on this board.

I watched a show not too long ago where their guest was Devin McCourtney, Jason’s twin brother. It was a good show that day. The brother’s competed at everything and were constantly going at one another. It was pretty funny.

That's hilarious , whenever I keep reading this stuff about Prescott hasn't shown he can lead a team deep into the playoffs.... :facepalm:


you mean dak has shown that he can't lead a team deep into the playoffs by himself because it's kind of obvious if Mike McCarthy 's kind of make up something he might wanna figure out how to make up a strong physical run game with a offensive line that actually shows up to play in the playoff game against the stout defensive lines in the front sevens that we keep meeting because 20/18/2021 and 2022 the common denominator is we have no run game, the offensive line is not blocking well ,and that is why the offense keeps failing against teams with really good defensive lines..

You winna sit here and make me believe that Prescott in 2021 was supposed to move the ball when the offensive line had 11 penalties, they had 14 penalties that messed up the game on a whole which made it almost impossible to run... the Rams stopped our run game as well and then last year again, if you think 3 yards per carry before TP went out and then two yards per carry in the second-half was somehow going to scare the Niners into backing off?? 16 run plays, that's a joke the 9ers dictated the game because the OL and Play calling just couldn't get it done.

So let's be clear and make those statements true and not narratives that are being made-up that Prescott is the reason we're not getting further and somehow the coach has to make up for it no the offense on a whole just needs to be better... The selective memory around here because I watched those games the reason the offense wasn't moving is because we were one-dimensional there wasn't a consistent strong run game the offensive line was not blocking well and all the defense had to do was playing coverage.. they didn't even have to put 5-6 or seven people up at the line in order to get pressure or to stop the run, they literally just manhandled the line and when you do that just play coverage it muddles up the entire offense.

The expectations from the fanbase it's ridiculous to think that the quarterback should have to overcome bad offense from the coaching to the line play the run game the skill players not playing well is absolute ridiculousness..

If we don't advance past the divisional round of the playoffs, MM should be canned. Will he, though? I doubt it because Jerry is a terrible GM.

MM and Dak have a 2 season window……if it doesn’t happen, a new coach will select his new quarterback

I really hope this doesn’t happen because I’m tired of seeing some good players retire without even reaching A Championship game….Tyron, Zack, Lawrence, etc

MM's seat has gotten at least a little bit warmer with the departure of KM.

The already good roster looks a little better this year, so Dallas remains on the short list of teams that have a legitimate chance at winning it all.

Gameday coaching the entire year combined with QB decision making are the 2 primary ingredients to team success.
I will be looking for these 2 catalysts to supply the supposed gameday advantage starting week one.

And I will post it in each week's pregame as to expectations of these 2 proving they are capable of leading the team to wins each and every week the whole year.

If they can, a 6th Lombardi is ours.
If not, the Joneses most likely fire McCarthy as scapegoat and give Quinn a try.

It's 1000% on MM this year. Everyone wanted Garrett gone, MM was hired to get the team further than Garrett did.. so far he has not done so. You can say this is better or that is better but the end results are the same. MM was not hired to win 12 games a year and bow out in the divisional round, Garrett could do that. If MM does not get this team past the divisional round this year (barring some serious injuries to key players), he will be gone, IMO.

That would be hilarious if we go 16-1 and lose in the divisional round again. Lol

Do we fire a HC for going 16-2 and losing three straight seasons in divisional round ?

The drama Jethro creates on his own is pure gold. Lol
