FMIA Wild Card: Decibels in Detroit, Doubt in Dallas, Harmony in Houston

DETROIT—This was the weekend that:
***May have gotten Mike McCarthy fired.
***May have paved the way for Bill Belichick to follow in the Dallas coaching footsteps of his old pal Bill Parcells.
***Made every team thinking of hiring Dallas defensive coordinator Dan Quinn as head coach say, “Let’s not be too hasty.”
***Goats of the Week.....Dak Prescott, quarterback, Dallas. Another huge game of Prescott coming up small, with two interceptions leading to 14 first-half points for Green Bay. A bad time for a bad game for Prescott.
***The impact of the Cowboy implosion. I mentioned the Mike McCarthy speculation, and for now, that’s all it is. But we’ve all known the meaning of what Fox put on the screen late in the game—Dallas, with 36 wins over the past three regular seasons, is the only NFL team with that many wins in a three-season span to not to have made a championship game appearance in any of those seasons. I can’t believe Jerry Jones, with a star (fading though he is) like Bill Belichick on the free market, wouldn’t go hard after him to try to salvage this era of Cowboys history. But the other byproduct of this game is that Dan Quinn’s stock fell precipitously with the divebombing performance of his D. Six touchdowns allowed in the first seven Green Bay possessions, and a defense that looked totally non-competitive in the biggest game of the year. That’s not going to help Quinn in Seattle. Nor will the Dallas defense in the final seven games of the year: 25 points and 353 yards allowed per game.
