Now what, Mike McCarthy, for the ball is in your court for directions

Now, the Ravens bullied the bullies just like their Mommas taught them.

Just to restate the path taken by the Cowboys all the way from the name calling and crap loads from the off season. Rock is tired of the nonsense used and as well as the same bunch of excuses not even following or backing this site's team. Just like the real battle fields or confinement centers...the actual truths have to be respected.

Here on thread, those using squawking as their sole reasons for Cowboys play...are really little more than morale and ethical cowards. Most won't even listen to actual leadership issues or applications to the sport of football or to the Dallas Cowboys. Tune out here and post your obligatory complaints...

The Dallas Cowboys are equally able to take on any conveniently labeled bullies you guys seem all afraid to do. You aren't ready for the season yet...after 16 games and the entire off season? Naw, take the name calling and shove it!



Now, off the poor conduct in 'fans'...and football never being talked and insult and disgust being the point.



This hasn't been a stupid preparation by Jerry and Stephen Jones. It hasn't been a failure coach and staff by Mike McCarthy. Dak Prescott is fully capable and already demonstrated he can produce at the top levels. Jerry has assembled a good team, supportive franchise, and lots of talent. McCarthy has the team heading right now to it's 3rd straight 12 win season. That is here and now, a top shelf achievement over the course of NFL history-fact. That sits alone in view...

Right now, Dak Prescott out performed Miami's QB. He led the Cowboys to 2 touchdowns against the top producing NFL offense, who only got a single touchdown.
The loss was by 2 points on a final second field goal...5 field goals. That at no point becomes a liability...not even to a fan knee deep in gloomy moaning!

There is still a management tool that McCarthy can still use, and when applied, is the most powerful to bring out this leadership directive.

I have been talking about these very elements since my OP on Micah Parsons becoming the very top level of leadership. He is still struggling to achieve just this. No, this does not attack his value or his talents. For him to set unmatchable standards this very season, will take the remainder of his box players to take the whole team efforts to high as well as bully wincing standards as a team. Oh, he can be that element already. It will take the rest of his crew to perform just as Lawrence did yesterday. Strong!

This still isn't where I have taken leadership standards all this time. Now, that isn't a 30 year or being miserable thing instead. A principal that can be repeated and effective as well. Everyone is aware apparently, but don't embrace application principals when it is time for this Dallas team to start using them for success.

First off, this is a tough sport and destiny can be changed at the drop of a hat. Injury can create bumps in a single game. A bad day for an important piece can create problems. That isn't the excuse of a Jerry or Stephen thing. This element was already addressed above and isn't at all biased by fan prejudice. Guys, that is just a FACT also. Any game is subject to sudden and harsh problems, then and there.

Momentum is working at all times. That is a principal in action...not a statistical principal by dorks.

Yes, this is English nor dependent upon a person's own analytical skill impatience. This isn't a tool that a fan can hold another fan accountable for missing satisfaction for.

Each game has it's own momentums. Yes, scoring first is very relevant and affects every game. It affects complete team momentum and is the factor in rhythm. That is for both sides: offense and defense.

Now what is the one manageable principal that can affect as well as change results for the Cowboys. It is as simple as knowing or being informed by the Cowboys' own staff.

This being have a successful game changing play...First...don't allow a negative and game changing play happen first.

Not simplistic at all. That changes the team dynamics from the Cowboys and all teams as well. Do good, first. No excuses.

The Cowboys have shown they can over come situation momentum bumps...but at the top shelf, the principal has to come down and occur. Dak, you have had some good and bad games...but this one is yours. You have to start the game for Dallas with a positive game changer. No, it's not just waiting and hoping for it to just happen and blame it on Jerry.

GO COWBOYS!

Everything you spoke about makes a lot of sense but I believe at this point the officiating is so inconsistent and it's not the penalties that are getting called on us it's the penalties that are not getting called on our opponents that are killing us stopping our momentum causing an attitude of no hope

Micah Parsons is a generational talent with an impact on the game like no other at this moment in time and he is being unfairly neutered by the officials.

If all the holding was called like it should be we absolutely stop other team's momentum in its tracks and give the ball back to our offense at an alarming rate to the point we would have won at least three more games.

Problem there's nobody on the team that can fix this but Jerry either the league is prejudice against the team or Micah one of the two and whichever one it is it needs to stop or we will not get any further there is only so much a team can overcome and the officiating is making it impossible to overcome anymore

Let me ask. Who is responsible for calling a pass play on 1st and goal with 1 yard to go ? I just cant understand that call.
It's called faking out the defense. We tried running the ball in from there earlier: Pollard got stuffed and Luepeke fumbled the ball. How much confidence should he have had in the run game at that point?

No seriously, it was a really dumb call.

I 100% agree and that was the way the game was played in the '70s now I just don't know.

There is some kind of undercurrent in this league and the one guy on our team that can make a difference is somehow handcuffed so that he is only a marginal difference Maker compared to what he could really be
I can't help believe if Micah was on the Raven somehow he would be the second coming of Ray Lewis.

I don't think people realize how much difference a couple holding calls can make in a game.

That could as easily been a discussion of failures by the Cowboys at the one yard level...pass or run. Game changing mistakes.

Prove your case then...not passing the buck.
Hate to say it but it's been proven 3 times in the last 2 years, we can't run or stop the run, we have a qb that struggles against zone and we are physically not as strong in the trenches.

We don't match up well against them and there is next to 0 percent chance we win, it could happen but very very unlikely

First of all, it was LESS than a yard....had he not been bailed out on the 3rd down TD, he should have been fired on the spot. Especially given the fact that he did the same EXACT thing in Philly....and going under center....on 1st and goal from the six (6)....this just proves what an idiot this lazy conman really is. Almost as asinine as his constant throwing the ball on 3rd and 2 when we are in obvious 4 down territory.

With the loss by Dallas and the win by Philly, pretty much set that Dallas will not win the division. Possible, but now a game behind Philly, have to make that game up, Philly not playing well, but as we saw yesterday, they find ways to win. But we'll see.

But assuming we'll be on the road for all playoff games, as history this season and the last few shows, soon as we play a good team on the road, it's a loss. Which brings us to the future. Can Dallas take the next step and move from pretender to contender?

We do have very good to great young players- Cee Dee, Parsons, Tyler Smith, Ferguson, Pollard, Bland, Diggs, Aubrey. Add to that other young guys who the jury's still out on, and who may yet develop into very good to great players - Tolbert, Hendershot, Williams, and I'd even include Mazi, much as I think he's not shown as much as you expect from a first round pick.

Some of the older guys like Lawrence, Armstrong, and Osa should still be good for another year or two or three.

Add those together and we have a good core of players to work with.

The question I have is not the players, but the coaches. I don't have much faith in McCarthy to get better, he had Aaron Rodgers for years and won 1 Super Bowl. Lots of questionable coaching during that tenure. Has had time with Dallas as well, but the same problems remain. (Running Dak up the middle on 2nd and 13?????)

Quinn to my view is as good as he needs to be. Regardless of who you play, to blow out teams like 40-0 shows you can coach an NFL defense. Of course, can't do anything about the refs, you can be sure Dallas will get shafted there regardless of who are the coaches. So might as well ignore that factor.

Much afraid we're seeing Dallas win as much as they are going to with MM at the helm. Barring some incredible luck and all other playoff teams getting hit by a rash of injuries to key players, better enjoy the regular season wins and the occasional first round playoff win, because that's as good as it's going to get as long as Jerry is the owner/general manager....

We're still not beating the 9ers.
The 49ers are not unbeatable they can get punched in the mouth but only if the game is officiated consistently.

If they're going to let Mike be held on every play and CDs pants be pulled down no we have no chance of winning under those conditions we cannot overcome lack of calls on legitimate infractions along with ticky tack calls on questionable and fractions.
It changes the whole game

Evidence means absolutely nothing to some here. They have their heads buried the sand.....ignorance is bliss
