News: PFT: Mike McCarthy: This pattern needs to stop and that starts with me

[Prossman]

we just dont have the people to run this defense. Our safeties are lost

 

[Carter]

In all fairness, Dak started the game on fire. The turnovers are what started the downward spiral. But, yes, it would be good to have 4 solid quarters from Dak, but it’s hard to do when your defense keeps putting you in a hole.

Even the Turnovers wouldnt have mattered. The D would have found a new way to mess up.

Without the Browns going in full prevent mode for more than a quarter they would have hung 60 on us.

If we had a defense we likely win that game.

 

[Carter]

If he wants to make a statement about Accountability i expect the firing of Nolan and the ST Coach by this evening along with a long time benching of Jaylon Smith, Dontarie Poe, Darian Thompson, Pollard and Jourdan Lewis.

Even the practice Squad guys couldnt do worse.

Mike McCarthy: This pattern needs to stop and that starts with me - ProFootballTalk

The Cowboys have developed a pattern in the opening weeks of the 2020 season and it isn't one that head coach Mike McCarthy enjoys. His team turned the ball over three times, gave up big plays all day on defense and spotted the opposing team a lead they tried to erase in the final minutes. [more]

So maybe Mike instead of coaching a pro team, go back to coaching what every kid who plays football learns from day 1.

Play your positions and assignments and

Protect the damn ball!!!

Sure, but good teams deal with the hand their dealt don’t they?

The chiefs haven’t had a great D for years and they still win don’t they?

Offense is consistent and the defense does just enough to put some stops here and there.

Not allowing a 50yard back breaker to someone who should have been watched all game because of his performance and in the closing minutes at that.

 

[DandyDon52]

at least he is admitting there is a problem, and taking some blame himself, that is a start .
no we need to execute better, or watch the tape and get better, move forward, this is football lol

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I watched the post game interview. He didnt sound very convincing like he knew how to fix it or that it could be fixed on defense.

And he has that shell shocked look like a HC who might have lost the team. Not a good vibe.

Just me but it's probably knowing HE CAN'T fix it DURING in the middle of the season or it's worst than he thought.

 

[Dre11]

next to Nolan, Marinelli is Buddy Ryan

that was more tongue and cheek, these players don't help their coach, they fail at the fundamental things.

 

[ghosttown cowboy]

Interesting that JJ would get conned by MM...

 

[fivetwos]

I'm not into prematurely pulling the trigger on firing a HC, but if he isnt it and a mistake was made....better to recognize that sooner than later for several reasons.

I DO NOT see Jerry paying all these coaches not to coach....he would rather waste several seasons....so dont dont expect much, if anything to change.

 

[fivetwos]

Jerry Jones needs to hire either a hot coordinator (Bienemy) or a name guy (Meyer)....but then most importantly.....get OUT of the WAY.

No more radio shows. Give the players the message that things start and stop with the HC.

Until that happens, and probably some time thereafter, there will be no real success in Dallas.

Nothing will ever convince him of that.....not even the 30th year of futility.

 

[phildadon86]

If Dak starts games better, we aren't having to play catch up so much.

If the defense could make a stop here and there we wouldnt need to catch up either. We were up 14-7. They rushed for over 300 yards lol. But yea. Its Daks fault.

 

[noshame]

Dear Mike, I'm be losing respect for you every minute you do not fire the fraud at DC.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Yup, Zeke is rarely mentioned on him needing to play better too.

Zeke said it himself

 

[MRV52]

I know he’s not a LB LOL. He’s just trash

Dlaw played his best game on Sunday. He has a knee injury so who knows how much that is hampering him.

 

[CooterBrown]

Accountability should always start at the top. Unfortunately, MM is not at the top, he is just a middleman.

Lol last 11 games he’s had .5 sacks he makes plays when he isn’t blocked lol. He’s not playing that good

 

[Praxit]

..there you have it, straight from Big Mike. We're saved..

 

[Playmaker3128]

If we had a defense we likely win that game.

probably. But we scored 0 points in the second and third quarters. That means we scored 14 through 3 quarters before garbage time.

Sometimes the elite offenses have to go score for score with the opposing team.
