If you go back and watch every bone head loss, We always get out coached. SF,BUF,MIA and GB for example, Every time MM says its a big game and they had the best practice ever that week, the team comes out flat and flops because of his stupid scheme/play calls same goes for DQ.

Do you guys feel the same about this? or I'm just an idiot???

The GM thinks he's a "football guy"
The coaching staff is overrated
The talent is overrated.
Go back and look at the schedule
wins and losses
Who Dallas beat
Who beat Dallas
Above average seldom gets a team deep in a playoff run.

EVERY SINGLE TIME! Are they getting cute? I think DQ plays scared in big games, hence the turn to soft zone coverages in those games. I think MM needs a high football IQ QB to correct his in-game nonsense (sign of a bad HC). We went away from BPA in the draft and were not aggressive enough in FA and that reared its head in these games.

100% agree, and I've been saying this when the Cowboys were winning this season.

If the defense wasn't getting TOs and sacks, this defense was always quite average (and in some of these losses, decidedly below average). Bland made the pass defense look better than it ever really was. The vaunted defensive line often didn't show up in the Big Games, or in the biggest moments. Quinn's Cowboys Dee has always been overrated to me.

And McCarthy as an OC AND HC? Come on, man, the list is just way too long for all of his issues as both.

You are not an idiot. Those 12-win seasons and undefeated home record mean little when the season ends in a COMPLETE DUD in the 1st round, at home, against the 7th seed...a game the Cowboys were favored by a lot to win.

It's a disgrace, especially how bad the team looked in the 1st quarter.

:mad:

McCarthy was fired by Green Bay, and only Dallas was interested, 2 years later.

Quinn has FIVE interviews for head coaching jobs scheduled as of now. That says a lot.

How many interviews would McCarthy have if fired now?

MM is a soft coach that does not instill discipline in his players, just look at the number of penalties while he has been coach. He does not scheme a good gameplan when it counts. DQ is a decent defensive mind but has to have no injuries for his scheme to work. I heard today and had to verify, think about the teams that exposed his defense and who their coaches are, Mike McDaniel, Matt Lafleur, and Kyle Shanahan, all three were Coordinators or assistants to DQ when he went to the Super Bowl with Atlanta. Is it possible he tried to change up because they knew his scheme or did they just beat him because they know him to well? Fact is, MM, DQ and Jerry are the problem to some degree.

That’s actually a good question…..maybe none? I’d have to think Quinn is a better option then him for teams.

I can’t put discipline on him because that predates him. This team has been getting stupid penalties for 20 years.

Spot on, This team has no toughness. You punch them in the mouth and they crawl into a hole. DQ has no excuse for the defense... GILMORE and Lack of LB's are no excuse as to why you had to run 6 dbs most the time. MM is as soft as a marshmallow when it comes to the offensive side and then you throw in Dak that is a nervous wreck when the def shows disguise and you have a 1 and done... rinse and repeat every year if nothing changes. SOMEONE HAS TO GO! I don't care if its MM OR DQ someone needs to leave.

I think our team shoots itself in the foot more than any other team. There has been so many bone headed penalties especially on 3rd down stop = penalty or free 1st down for the other team, getting ball back on a punt = penalty deep in our end dak throws a pick or 3 and out or other team gets 1st down for roughing/running into punter, red zone drives = penalty to move out of the RZ or TD's off the board, possibly DAK sacked out of FG range or multiple holds in the RZ. lol

Yep, we're never getting anywhere without a physical, disciplinarian coach. We're the talented kid who melts at the first sign of adversity. If we can run over a team, we'll run up the score. However, if there's any sign of the other team punching back, we're on the ground rolling around, holding our stomach.

We lead the league in penalties and players doing things like holding a victory party before even playing the game shows the attitude here... and it shows the problem. We were beat by the same kind of team all year long, no matter how bad their record. If they had an ounce of physicality, whether it was Green Bay or the Cardinals, we not only lost, but lost in embarrassing fashion.

There's a culture problem here and we're a team full of finessey superstars that crumble when the going gets tough and it gets physical.

Getting rid of Quinn isn't going to fix the problem. Hiring the right coach and instilling the right culture of accountability will, which is something Jerry refuses to do, because he wants to hire buddy coach that lets him meddle. The fact that we've gone no further than we have with Garrett tells you the problem goes deeper than the personnel on the field or the coaching. We're constantly living in the crumbling house that Jerry built.

I remember Aaron Rodgers saying MM has a low football IQ and he used to change the plays and ignore him all the time. Finally got MM fired, at least how I recall those days.
I thought Aaron was being petty with that comment. I see his point now and why GB moved on from him and hired a smarter coach.

It’s the front office hiring the wrong people. There is not a hairs difference between MM and Garret. Look at the undermanned Packers and how they played. Coaching matters a lot in this league.

Rodgers still hasn't won a Superbowl without MM, hard to argue that MM was holding him back.
