As I asked everyone here 2 hours ago, why all of a sudden has the bar been lowered? Booger was fuming after the SF game, and I swear he made statements several times after to the effect of having to get deep into the playoffs....almost everyone here before the season started was saying that Corky had to win at least 2 post season games and/or reach the NFCCG to keep his job. So now he can lose in ROUND ONE and keep his job just because he won 12 games and reached the post season 2 years in a row??? What if we lose looking like crap Monday night in a loss??? You do know they we all get exactly what we deserve supporting all this gross incompetence, right? So once again not to bury the lead.....why has the freakin' bar been lowered between the SF game and now?????
Not that I necessarily agree with the opinion to keep Fat Mike, but I think these are the best arguments to keeping him.
A. He kept the season alive after losing his starting QB for 1/3 of the season. Most teams go in the tank if that happens, look at the Titans when Tanny kept going down and missing games all season, they lost practically every game with their backup Qbs.
B. He did post back-to-back 12-win seasons and thus made the playoffs two years in a row, something that has not happened around here in like forever. Jason Garrett was here a dam decade and NEVER made the playoffs or posted double digit wins in back-to-back seasons.
C. For the most part, the team was competitive in almost every game, the last game being the exception, and the team never lost back-to-back games during the entire season.
D. We also have to keep it real and that means discussing the players. Its hard to put all the blame on the head coach when the starting QB cant go a single dam game without throwing a pick. Dak finished the season with 15 INTs which was tied for most in the entire NFL, and keep in mind Dak missed almost 1/3 of the season. Think about that, your starting QB misses that much playing time and still tied for the league lead in picks. That is hard to do, you literally do have to throw at least 1-2 picks per game to accomplish this feat. Dak also lead the league in pick 6s as well. Like I said, I am not a Dak hater or anything but you got to keep it real and the numbers dont lie, they are what they are.
So, I can see an argument to be made that Fat Mike should be given another season considering all of this, even if he loses to Tampa. Not necessarily the decision I would make, but I can at least logically see how somebody would come to the conclusion that he deserves another year.
