Bad game this weekend, a game that meant nothing in terms of playoffs. Basically Dallas knew it was l playing TB a few weeks ago barring a Total collapse by TB.

Who cares this team was complete trash on that field Sunday. The whole damn organization. I was thinking maybe this team would want to give the league a look of a team who's hungry. But they ended up looking like a bunch of guys who didn't want to be out on the field. They would've been better sitting everybody.

Dallas needs a coaching change, The scheme on both side of the ball just look bipolar. It really doesn't matter whats working, the playcalling is all over the place.

Dak was trash Sunday and there is no way to hide that.

I see them beating the BUCS but after that idk anymore. The top teams on the nfc aside from the vikings are teams who play smart and physical. Dallas doesn't do well in these games. They just dont seem to be coached to overcome. Just seems like other than that Philly game teams that have punched the team back in the mouth are the teams who beat this team in the playoffs

This defense has regressed as Micah has been worn down. This started as the DEs started to get banged up, and as he started to get banged up. Alot of people were criticizing the team cause they played him more at LBer, now they blame the team that he's worn down.

So I think this team has a better than 70% chance of losing in the divisional round. Mostly by their own doing. Hope I'm wrong because I don't like this feeling. I'd rather quit watching football than have this feeling. I've already stopped watching basketball because the celtics just seen to be all over the place too.

I don't know. I'm kind of in the are that the gameplan was Vanilla and forced to Noah and other receivers other than Ceedee for rep purposes but it backfired when Dak couldn't move the offense and MM started getting desperate trying to put points on the board.

I looked at film last night from week 1 - MP did not rush from DE and it was 92 almost all game. This is a huge change with Hankins in the middle as well - Fournette should not have the day he had Week 1. Damon Clarke is a new face, the only issue I have is that game Brady picked apart AB and even Diggs that day with Mike Evans. Secondary was an issue that day and we were stronger there, now we are weaker and Brady will look to torch LCB2 all freaking day. Diggs needs to follow Evans and just let the rest of the team beat them.

Nice write up.
Main point is this team is too inconsistent, and that falls on the feet of the coaching staff.

I didn't like the MM hire. What made it worst was keeping KM as OC. I don't care that the Cowboys won 12 games 2 seasons in a row. It's doesn't matter if you can't win in the playoffs. I'm going to hold out for now on whether or not I think a coaching change is needed yet. I'm sure I'll feel different after Monday.

I think that they beat the Bucs and will win the 2nd playoff game if they play the Eagles or the Giants.

at the bare min, at least were making the playoffs consistantly (2 years in a row isnt much but its been a while), no more good year followed by a terrible year and out of the 8-8 purgatories. It at least gives us the chance to go in and build playoff experience. I wouldnt mind passin on from KM though

I still say that the plays have to be executed by the players. The coaches draw them up and the players execute. Maybe a little fault from both sides.

Yup, that's my only gripe on Jerry. Won't get a top hc. Who cares about who gets credit. When Dallas wins a Super bowl again the popularity is going thru the galaxy. It happened in the 90s. Jerry is his own worst enemy in the coaching dept

Kinda of...sort of agree with you...not sure what team will show up...the good or bad.....but I like the big fat guy (MM),,,,,,and believe MM will have this team ready.....it's DAK who I have doubts about....I don't care what anyone says a $40mil QB should be able to take the team deep in the playoffs...(and not turn the ball over) and on a good day DAK can do it.

History tells us this team will choke again in the playoffs....but at least for this TB game....I think MM and especially DQ will have a plan in place....and the Cowboys will win.....my gut says...Cowboys will go deep in the playoffs but history says otherwise.

This Cowboys Team will go as far as DAK will take it.....In DAK we trust

I was a bit on the other end of the spectrum. I wasn’t super sold on MM but have come around to thinking he is a really good coach. He has managed to win with KM pulling bone headed play calls etc.

He has managed to build a hell of a roster and has won with the next man up just like he did in Green Bay.

Regroup and go play a great game like they are capable off.

I will be more concerned (but not too concerned) about all the coaching and players toward March. But will give my input along with others on here.
However I would like to see Moore not return. But Jerry is too senile to make that change.
