Twitter: Mike McCarthy on the two interceptions

[Jayinem]

I wonder if Jimmy Johnson would have handled that interview the same way. Saying it's bad but we have 12 wins and we don't need style points.

It only takes 1 turnover at the worst time to send you home for the season in the playoffs. Jimmy would have lost his mind at this team telling them to stop the turnovers. We get soft coaches like McCarthy and Garrett and wonder why we haven't sniffed a Conference Championship.

We are at 12 wins that true. But we are playing like crap and not playing playoff football.

Right now I'm not sure we will be TB. And that really pisses me off.

Kinda where I am
Glad we won
But we need to play sharper to win in the playoffs

Mac has his benefits
But I would prefer a hard-nose HC.

 

[Proof]

And here lies the problem with the Dallas cowboys franchise…

You CANNOT be ok with just winning. The results aren’t really what matters. It is doing something most people are incapable of these days. And that is playing to your maximum ability no matter what the situation is. Giving maximum effort regardless of any of the circumstances around you

naw pretty sure throughout history winning has always been the goal

who knows jimmy had a 12 win and 13 win season in his sb wins and mac is likely to match that jimmy also had as much talent as an nfl roster has seen

..it's ok gents, don't quit yer day jobs. But keep buying the merchandise.

I'm with Mike.

We did beat some of the top playoff teams this year, so we can't say we haven't beat any good teams. We just have played down to our competition a bit here in recent weeks and need to find ways of mitigating some of these chunk plays against our defense, while also establishing our running game.

Enjoy the playoff loss to Tompa Bay

Maybe, maybe not. Not even you know what is gonna happen in 2 weeks.

Do you believe the 90s Cowboys would have had the exact same success with McCarthy or Garrett as they did Jimmy? I do not.

Yeah, they are playing awesome football in "Tompa."

 

[JayFord]

Remember this Loss then lost again to Philly before Super Bowl run.
This Cowboys Generation of Fans is clueless and forgotten

yess

the last time we won a SB the Washington team swept us and they werent CLOSE to making the playoffs as a matter of fact they were awful

 

[BourbonBalz]

There are posters here rooting for the Cowboys to lose just to further their agendas.

Yes and it’s beyond obvious. There are posters on here that appear to be of questionable mental stability. Yes, I’m serious. The seething hatred some on here have for specific players is pathetic.

 

[BourbonBalz]

You can't say this team hasn't gotten all the breaks this year. We have gotten pretty lucky so far...especially the last month. Starting QBs going down...all over. Key injuries to other teams....we have been relatively injury free...

No, we’ve been far from injury free.

Well that year 2 of the 4 victories the Commanders had was against us. The very next week we lost to the Eagles on the "4th and 1 game". The week after that we barely beat a bad Giants team that had nothing to play for. Kevin Williams makes 2 great catches and we win on a last second FG. The next week on Christmas day we beat the Cardinals in the desert and then we go on to win the Super Bowl.

But that 3 game stretch of Washington (L), Philadelphia (L) and NY (W, but barely) everyone was saying Dallas was dead and couldn't compete with the Packers, Eagles and 49ers. Well we know how that ended. So point is even the dynasty teams with future HOFers lost to inferior teams and had ugly wins.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Damn as much as I dislike the all negative takes, the pom pom sunshines jumping for reg season wins after 29 years of big nada are worst!

You have to win in the regular season to make it to the post season. I don't take the regular season wins for granted. Now if we can only get over the postseason hump.

 

[movaughn88]

Garrett's 8-8 is McCarthy's 12-5.

Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds?

Keep sitting on the don’t come line - blows my mind why you waste so much time saying the same damn thing

The win at Arizona gave us home field advantage throughout because SF lost to somebody (Atlanta?). I was ecstatic.

no, those teams were more talented

be honest, even if we had run off 10 in a row, you would think we will lose at Brady
