Yep. I see MM being toast, but not sure about DQ being the next HC. If anything, it’s the defense thats playing poorly lately. That’s on DQ.
Neither Cowboys playoff scenarios are ideal

I'm going to say it: I don't care what seed we get.
I've been watching Dallas for the past 16 years (only 25). Here is how everything played out.
2007: No. 1 seed -- loss to Giants
2009: Division winner (not No.1) -- win vs. Philly and blowout at Minnesota
2014: Division winner (not No. 1) -- win vs. Detroit and Dez no-catch game
2016: No. 1 seed -- loss to Packers
2018: Division winner (not No. 1) -- win vs. Seattle and road loss to Rams
2021: Division winner (not No. 1) -- home loss to 49ers
You know what I haven't experienced? Playoffs but on the road for the first game. Shoot, at this point, I want to see us on the road to start to switch things up. This team has disappointed me in every single postseason, so I'm rooting for the No. 5 seed.

we agree but Jerry might see it differently. DQ hasn't done much lately to inspire confidence.

Agree. I think it may be a blessing in disguise

Not many playoff coaches are fired . Especially not ones with back to back appearances .

If McVay is available. Jerry might be tempted.

I can’t imagine a scenario where it’s advantageous to play a playoff game on the road versus at home .

But why would McVay be tempted into this circus?

It is the playoffs. You have be beat good teams if you want to win the Superbowl.
Trying to cherry pick preferred opponents never really works anyways. I'm sure everyone wanted that Seahawks team with a losing record.

We have draft capital and WE ARE the Cowboys still. Imagine what having McVay here would do luring players.

You are right. I'm chilling today. I remember in 2018 praying for us to face the Rams because I didn't want to go on the road at New Orleans. Look how that turned out.
We lost to Jax and Green Bay. We should've never been in a position to hope for the NFC's top two seeds to lose on the final day; we made our own bed.

I get what you're saying. But the Dallas is a circus narrative really hasn't been true for a number of years. Yes we have eccentric owners (who are generally well liked/regarded around the league). We get a lot of spotlight (which megalomania coaches love).
We have a roster that looks pretty good on paper with a great QB number 1 WR and a defensive player who will be in DPOY conversations for years to come.....and he's not a one man band at that.
If Jerry and team wanted to go in another direction there would be many a suitor. Not that they should or will....but if they did...

Which means Eagles gets a cakewalk round 2 and NFCCG is in Philadelphia.
Forecast says 30 degrees and a lot of snow January 29th, but that’s a long way off

What frustrates me is that we were up 14 on GB and 17 on Jax. I get it, they're both playoff teams (likely). But being in a position to win and not closing is what makes them tougher pills to swallow.

I know what you’re saying. But if we are one and done again, it will be difficult not to blame MM. I think he needs to win at least one game. Hopefully we can make it to the NFC championship so I can start to believe once again.
