Jerry and Stephen are the reason we are eliminated

[Sheepherder]

Yes, and the FO not being proactive again with that. Last time they made a coaching change, they waited about a week before doing it. By the time they were done, the better choices were gone. They're doing that again. The trades were good. However, we needed more areas fixed. And now, if they're going to make a coaching change, they need to do it now and start the interviewing process. They have learned nothing.

Look, like any organization in the world, the blame starts at the top. Yes Dak chokes in big moments, Dan Quinn and the defense didn't show up and McCarthy did not have the team ready. But all the blame should start with the guys who have final say on the roster.

They could've fixed the LB issue but chose not to. They could've fixed the RB issues but chose not to. They created the Hollywood atmosphere giving fans unlimited access to players which gave 2nd and 3rd stringers the big head. McCarthy is a players coach but you cant have a players coach and a players owner, where is the balance? Everything is sunshine and lollipops in Jerry's world. Guys who should be focused on staying on the main roster beyond this season are hosting parties around playoff time. That's on the owner.

This team has no identity on either side of the ball. They are a mentally weak, finesse team and it will remain that way so long Jerry has his hands on how things are ran.

Gee, take a gander at the Detroit Lions. This is the farthest they've ever been since the 1950's. The Patriots won 6 SB's and now look at that team without a franchise QB. Speaks
volumes

Yeah, and the Lions might very well make it to the NFCC making it only 3 teams since then to have not been able to advance to the conference championship.

 

[LittleD]

yep they extended that loser dak, I guess you are right.

Guess what...unless Jerry want to tank a season or two, he will have to extend Dak again at about 50 million per season. He has a no tag, no trade clause in his current deal and has
Jerry over a log.

 

[ShortRound]

You can blame anyone on the team and it makes sense. That last game was an all-around disaster.

 

[fivetwos]

In order for their grand plan of ignoring higher end free agency is to work, they would need to hit on nearly every draft pick…which is quite far from the case.

They draft purely for need, expect those players to fill those positions immediately, and when they don’t they are left without the proper personnel in the end.

I don’t blame them so much for not picking up street guys along the way….those guys aren’t making a difference when it counts.

Apparently Quinn’s impromptu zone confused his own guys way more than it did Love.

The part that I can’t get past is how they consistently find new unfathomable ways to lose games.

For me….apathy is beginning to set it in big time and I’m very much beginning to understand the logic of those who have been there for years.

Losing is one thing. That’s the breaks. Losing because of one man’s stubborn obsession with himself is tougher to handle.

 

[Dallasfann]

And Dak.

Granted, but we've seen that movie before. Dak panics when pressured and his first read is taken away. I'm not sure Dak can be fixed by coaching.

Thank you , Thank you and Thank you!

Garrett, Moore, McCarthy how many coaches are we gonna change until Jerry looks at the QB, you know.

The Boys showed the same problem they have had for 3 or 4 years. They can't stop the run and in that game they quit their winning formula
and getting max pressure on the QB. Love had all day and picked the Boys apart.

Jerry's problem...Much easier to hire a dozen coaches than to get 1 decent franchise QB

Which is one of the consequences for not being active in free agency.

 

[Chasing6]

The Cowboys did bring in a couple. And they traded for Gilly and Cooks. But the main reason they were eliminated this year was coaching. MM and DQ had epic failure days.

The problem is they thought our team was SB ready. They thought we were the better team and would win just by showing up.

 

[atlantacowboy]

And that goes back to the FO. There are many flaws that they have, and one of them is that they refuse to actually do something about a glaring issue.

Ultimately , they are responsible. But they can’t be replaced. So, we just need to get back to a coach lead team. We haven’t had one since JJ left. If Jerry wants to win, he knows what he has to do. He just hasn’t wanted it so bad that he is willing to step back and let the football professionals do their job.

You are never going to find a sure thing franchise QB is free agency.

Part of me wants to blame the FO for being so light at LB, another part of me wants to be upset with Quinn for seemingly being fine with his 4-2-5 crap.

Yeah, I guess it’s called a “passing league” so makes sense…on one hand.

Bottom line for me….Jerry hires retreads that get stomped by the younger, better minds in the league….very consistently.

They find our weaknesses and exploit them, never…ever…the opposite.

I totally agree. Fat Mike and DQ didn't properly prepare this team to win the game and GB totally outcoached the Cowboys.

Exactly, and maybe it's time Jerry finds a legitimate (not a Kellen Moore or Jason Garrett type) young coach who can do similar things to a LeFleur or a Shanahan.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I'm not necessarily talking about the QB. I do think the time has come to draft another one either this year (and let him sit for one year behind Dak) or next year. However, other areas of the team could and should have been addressed in FA.

Right now the Shanahan coaching tree is whipping up on most everyone else in the league.
