McCarthy working overtime to turn it around

[Bleedblue12]

McCarthy is not the answer. The teams that are successful, with the exception of KC, have young, dynamic coaches that are innovative and on the cutting edge of offense and defense. We do not have a single coach who qualifies with those characteristics. Jerry continues to be the biggest obstacle to Dallas winning big!. Stop going to games and buying Cowboys merch...that should wake Jerry up...hit him in the wallet. That may be the only thing that turns this pathetic franchise around.

This seems like satire from Downey. No way any coach says they’re trying to configure an offense with only quick game. Mike said they have 7 step drop stuff they’ve yet to employ.

That’s definitely a meant to be funny post

Has our offense been so good all year that Sunday was just a revelation?

After a couple of game to ponder the loss, I am asking myself this question. The offense has not been great, but they have been good up to the opponents 10 yard line.

Maybe we have to consider that the loss to SF was just one of those games. I saw somewhere the Cowboys had not lost a game by 30 points or more in 163 games. Their last 30+ point loss was Nov. 10 against the Saints, 49-17, the same point differential as Sunday night.. They lost by 28 points in 2020 when Andy Dalton started his first game as backup. If you look at their game logs They don't have many losses of 20 points or more over that period.

The bad news is the Cowboys finished the season in 2013 8-8 and out of the playoffs.

But the point is, what if we are making too much of this game? What if it was just one of those games where everything went wrong for Dallas and right for SF. Pollard's fumble staying in bounds and avoids the tangled mass of bodies to stay inbounds may be evidence it was one of those nights.

I guess we will see Monday night. If they bounce back in a big way then we should forget SF and move on.

Mccarthys not the problem.

I couldn't disagree more. He is not the only problem though. I think many fans understand that Jerry Jones is the biggest problem. But McCarthy consistently has this team unprepared, lacking in intensity, and out-schemed in the biggest games against elite defenses. In each game against the 49ers in the last 3 seasons, the Cowboys have come out flat, undisciplined, and have been prone to big mistakes. I don't see how any one can say that that has nothing to do with coaching.

Well, I guess he should just give up and not even try.

Is that how you handle setbacks in your line of work?

You must be speaking of yourself....

 

[Cowfan75]

How come he didn't take the just as embarassing loss to the Cardinals so hard? This is the same dude who lied about sitting in a barn watching game tape to get his role of head puppet. It also shouldn't take you 20 hours a day to see what our problems are.

 

[McKDaddy]

So, you had all offseason to understand your roster and the landscape of the league. You settled on the best course of action. You have been practicing for months. Gathering more information each day. 5 weeks in & things haven't gone to plan. You think "hours" are going to reveal some hidden formula?

There are only so many levers you can pull at this point in time. Shouldn't have taken the plane ride back to think through those & decide if any of them have merit.

This is a public relations, hope my boss is also impressed stunt.

10 points

did you hear that?

Fat Mike says this team is supposed to be about the defense.

Did you happen to catch that one?

 

[JonesBoys]

Go home Mike, you work for Jerry Jones and have Dak for a your QB. You're wasting your time.

 

[fairviewfarmer]

I never understood this with older head coaches, you're at the tail end of your career, and kinda grim but you're also at the tail end of life. I know money is not an issue, why wouldn't you spend that time with family?

Maybe his wife is a bear to live with.

 

[Jarntt]

The best plan would be to turn it over to someone else. McCarthy is in over his head. Shanahan is playing chess and big Mike is eating the erasers of his pencil

 

[RonWashington]

The dedication is impressive . And the food @ the Star is first rate according to the Michelin rating .

 

[Pantone282C]

Well, that ought to fix things.

I'll sleep so much better tonight.

LOL

 

[CyberB0b]

Oh and he needs to tell Dak to tuck and run if nothings there. Or roll out early to buy time. And for sure use motion. It helps.

Dal can’t run anymore.

McCarthy is the biggest problem that can be rectified. Even the bozo coaching the Eagles seems better prepared to be a head coach in the contemporary NFL than McCarthy. Quinn is a dinosaur as well. If Dak Prescott were an issue the current Cowboys coaching staff is not qualified to ascertain it. And Jerry is too feeble minded to pour himself his own glass of Johnnie Walker Blue.

[DallasDW00ds0n]

really concerning MM didn’t think the offense was an issue prior to the SF game.

Now we’re working OT? This is work that should have been done in the offseason.

 

[Blast From The Past]

It’s going to be interesting to see if the Cowboys have any fight left in them Monday night after what happened on Sunday night. If we come in flat against the Chargers, we’ll end up taking it on the chin again. The Cowboys have rebounded well from losses but this one could be a tough one the way they got ragdolled by the 49ers.

They are capable but will they?

Absolutely correct.
The whole blame everything on Jerry thing ain't good with me. To a majority extent, yes.
But you cant absolve McCheese and Dak of their individual job performance
failures.

The 3 headed monster to NFL success is GM, HC and QB.
They are all failing at their jobs.

I know Jerry hires the coach and drafts the QB.
That still does not relieve the HC OR QB of their individual performance responsibilities.

That is my personal opinion of both the forest and the trees.

They are capable but will they?

We’ll find out on Monday night. It’s like with previous seasons you never know what Cowboys team is going to show up from week to week. This is one of the hardest Cowboys teams to figure out that I can ever remember. They absolutely destroyed their first two opponents fooling everyone into believing they had a great team. Then they go up against a 2 TD underdog, and got dominated, losing by two TDs. They rebounded the following week by destroying New England, then they ended up being destroyed the following week. San Francisco beat us worse than anyone they’ve played this season. This is the most puzzling Cowboys team I’ve ever seen.
