The Cowboys are a 12 win team. They have proven they can beat, stomp any NFC team, on the road or at home. They rise to the level of adversity. Dak has proven this.

Now, it comes down to MM. Can he get this team to win three straight on-the-road games to get to the SB? He's proven he can. No other NFC current HC can make that statement

Your thoughts?

If they dont play better than last night they are a one and done playoff team.
That performance was down right pitiful.

Almost everyone thought season was over opening night, 12 wins later, great coaching job.

Like your posts, could you elaborate on why you feel that way ?
Thanks, John
A big part of things is while Tenn was missing many of the players we have heard of, they are still outstanding in the trenches on each side. They have had recent playoff success against some really good teams.

The game still would have been a blowout if one of several plays went the other way. Things like fumbled snaps and tipped interceptions may or may not happen in any given playoff game.

It’s also extremely difficult to convince an entire room of men that this game meant more than it did. They went out and played hard, but the all around slight foot off the gas was evident to me all night.

Now….if we show up AGAIN to our first playoff game (with an eye on the SB) with that mentality, it’s a huge problem.

Everything about yesterday was understandable and about expected…even by Vegas lol.

We're about to learn exactly what MM is capable of in the weeks ahead.

I'm not anyone to kneejerk, nor prejudge players and/or coaches.

I can't wait to find out how far Mike McCarthy can take us.

Wait wait wait.

Prescott has shown he can win with this team but McCarthy hasn't? Is that what I just read?

Right now I say he can't. But who knows what'll happen? In the play offs anything's possible.

But either way, he is a big improvement over the clapper, that much is certain.
We wouldn't have back to back 12 win seasons with JG.

Big improvement from the Garrett days.
He’s quick to move player’s around and substitute players out for poor play.
We would still be rolling out josh ball at right tackle if Garrett was here
When it comes down to apparent strategies\ decisions to be made to get a win in the waning minutes of a close game in the 4th quarter....Mike McCarthy is just as inept now as Jason Garrett was.
Also...McCarthy makes boneheaded choices early on and throughout games re going for it on 4th down, etc.
