Goes to show a lot, or am I wrong? Will the Cowboys be 4-1 in his tenure, or 3-2 coming off the bye in his tenure? I hope Mike has his staff ready for not only this game, but for every game they're zoning in instead of just going through the motions. Please give your thoughts.....

You would think he uses a bye week wisely but too much of those records depend on a lot of things other than that. Getting people back from injuries, the opponent and momentum for starters. And luck. Speaking of which, when are we going to get some turnovers?

After the first month last season the offense couldn’t score as well. Then he changed some things and the offense took off. In fact Lamb’s stats are almost identical to what he had last year through 6 games. Then he and Dak blew up. Not sure we have the Oline for it this year, but we basically have the same cast of characters minus TP and Gallup.

Well, CeeDee and Dak did put in some extra time during the bye week, so maybe we'll see improvement like last year. But, who knows.

Yes you are wrong. Completely wrong. Do some research.

2020 – MIN was 2-6
2021 – MIN was 3-4
2022 – GB was 3-5
2023 – LAR was 3-5

As usual, the Cowboys can beat sub .500 teams and that's exactly what has happened in McCarthy's tenure as HC.

Additionally, under McCarthy, the Cowboys are 1-3 in the games following the bye week.

So no, being 3-1 after the bye week does NOT show a lot.

a win is a win right? that's all it's about is a win, not about who we played, same thing could be said if we loss those games as we're trying to get into the playoffs and hearing us say "if we only would have won those games!"

What will you do if we win this game?

"Hi, Honey! We're going streaking up through the quad to the gymnasium to celebrate the Cowboys victory over the 49ers!"

You said "Goes to show a lot" and I clearly proved it shows nothing.

And I didn't even mention it has no bearing on playoff games. You know, the most important games of the season.

I don't care if McCarthy was 4-0 and the Cowboys win tomorrow evening to make it 5-0. He still should have been fired after GB.

We should win this game.

Had extra time to add a few wrinkles.
Rested up.
But the major reason? The 49ers team I was watching versus the Chiefs was a different unit, they were making non-stop mental errors, which is totally unlike a Shanahan team.
Combine that with their depleted status and I think if we are ever going to have a chance against them, this is it.
As I've already stated, if it doesn't happen, Mike needs to be shown the door.

Irrelevant stat, no advantage to these Cowboys.

Wouldn't even consider the money line too boot.
