LOL, just wanted to get your attention. Yeah, he's kind of the problem but there is another big issue here.

McCarthy stinks as an OC. His play calling is at times peculiar, bland, abysmal and perplexing. The RZ play calls range anywhere from bizarre to just stupid.

I went back during the game and watched a handful of plays and the number of plays we run where all our receivers run like 5 yard curls and digs at the same time is mindnumbing. Now when you add that to the fact Dak also likes to dink and dunk when uncomfortable, you get a mindnumbling bad offense. A buddy who is a coach (granted at a much lower level than the NFL) pointed out during the game how bland and vanilla we are inside the 20. We have no rub routes, no crossing routes designed to create some confusion/congestion. We don't scheme guys open like a lot of teams do. We are predicated largely on the defense making a mistake or a receiver making a contested catch.

Remember, McCarthy had arguably one of the greatest QBs of all time in Rodgers and underachieved as the OC. To the point, I believe, he gave up playcalling.

To think he's not a problem here and just rant about Dak or the WRs or the OL or whatever is stupid. Downright stupid. McCarthy is a major, major problem.

Dak is PART of the problem, but he's definitely not THE only problem.

This kind of McCarthy offense only works if your defense is doing it's job. If you're playing from behind you're screwed. There was NO reason to run twice with the clock running down. Now we're in 3 and long and an obvious passing play is coming and the Cardinals have shut our receivers down all game long.

Then we have a defense that if they're not getting turnovers or sacks, they are getting gashed still. This is not a team built to win a Superbowl. Same team built to beat up on powderpuff teams but lose against physical teams. Will be a miracle if the Cowboys get out of the 2nd round.

80% here wanted him in.
80% couldn't identify the REAL reason we are failing because of agendas

Well now you've got we that you wanted as well as the main failure....

I think the offense is fine. The problem is Dak is so damn limited in the redzone we resort to running with 4 minutes left to go and down two scores. Let that sink in, then tell me how MM is to blame for that.
LOL.

I guess we found a McCarthy fan. You realize McCarthy had one of the greatest QBs of our generation and underachieved as an OC, right? That's not to excuse Dak but anyone thinking Dak is holding McCarthy back is being silly.
