Indeed. No argument there.

But the HC is also a big game choker.

And the defense.

And plenty of others on this team.

So, yes, a collective Big Game Choking team. Dak just happens to be paid the most, something we all wish we could say within our respective industry, whether we're producing or not. LOL

He's right, the turnovers have been costly. Dak has to own those.

And also true is how bad McCarthy's playcalling, play designs, and decisions have been. Winning the toss and taking the ball, and then coming out with vanilla plays and never scoring an opening drive TD is just silly. Hec, McCarthy had 2 weeks to prepare for San Francisco and the team had opening drive "miscommunications". Come on, man!!!

:facepalm:

Dead. Coach. Walking. McCarthy's three 12-win seasons bought him a 1-year extension :mad: ...and this is likely going to be the last coaching job he ever has.

Yes, the QB is playing awful, but the coach is winning us any games either. When was the last time an offensive play was run and you acknowledged, "Now THAT was a great play call"? When was the last time McCarthy designed a play that confused the defense and got a player wide-open downfield? :mad:

Does he also think the defense is fine?

Dak Prescott has been a finalist for the NFL MVP award multiple times, in 2016 and 2023. He was 2nd last year, losing to Lamar Jackson.

In 2023, Dak was a collective 410 of 590 for 4,516 yards...with 36 TDs and 9 interceptions. He even had a 92-yard pass play. That's a really good year.

And this was with a lame offensive coordinator and a bunch of slow starts (as McCarthy never comes out in the first few drives with anything creative or exploitive of the defense's weakness).

Sure, he had some bad moments last season, all QBs do. And yes, he stunk it up early against Green Bay. He played poorly in that game, and in a few others. But overall, a really good, almost-MVP year.

This year, the offensive roster is worse. And he's forcing things, often to CeeDee...so he's not playing well. We all know that. And he knows that.

But Dak's poor play is not the only thing holding this team back this season.

So Dak was MVP, but it had nothing to do with McCarthy’s play calling? Now MM sucks?

Lamb was targeted over 180 times last year. Lamb was the actual MVP of the offense. Teams now just shadow Lamb, cause goofy behind center can’t find any other WRs, because he stares his first read down.. teams are doing what the Packers did in the playoffs….

And BTW, Dak started last season horribly and finished last season horribly.

They moved Dak twice outside the pocket last game. One time he hit Lamb on the crossing route, the next time he threw a horrendous pick trying to throw it to Lamb.

If you make it a habit to move the pocket, you are limited the field for the QB and making it easier for the defense as a whole. They already dumb it down enough for the genius.

I’m pretty sure it’s both. He has definitely said during interviews that they need to force turnovers as well.

But yeah. Dak is also turning the ball over way wayyyy too much

Again, watch the games.. Dak the last 2 years has been getting to the snap with almost 18 seconds left on the clock regularly. The Dallas offense is predicated on getting the play in early, so the offense can take advantage of the personnel groupings of the defense, who McCarthy is trying to catch in bad spots…

Dak is almost completely dependent on the OCs. When this fails, guy has to sit back and make reads and he looks like a deer in the headlights. He can’t read a defense..

I think he’s talking about those plain turnovers with nothing but air in them, he likes them with apple, cherry, heck even some meat will do. Just ain’t fair.

No, I think he'll get an OC job next season. He is a Super Bowl winning coach. Everyone knows who he has had to contend with in regards to GM/Owner. They'll understand.
