I feel sick to my stomach that I agree with shady McCoy. McCarthy was calling plays because he was scared Dak would turn it over. Something has to give here. What scares me is the Cardinals do not have a lights out defense so what happens when we play teams with a good defense.

I was encouraged and maybe had some false hope when we beat the Jets and Giants. But our offense had a cushion and wasn’t asked to do much. But this game they needed to perform. The FGs are a problem.

So optimistic me says that McCarthy was calling plays to avoid holding penalties due to the offensive line injuries.

Pessimistic me says MM was calling play’s because he doesn’t trust Dak to throw it.

One more thing and this is on what Dak said in the press conference. He said he thought the LBer was fooled so he wanted to throw it by his ear and fit it. What?!? That makes as much sense as saying he tried throwing by the defenders wrists. Dude try to throw the ball no where close to any part of the defender.

Are we learning anything new about Dak? Is it a surprise to anyone he can't be depended on rise up and carry them on his back to victory, a la Mahomes.

Dak is who he is. The more they ask of him the more risk involved. The Cowboys have to win playing complimentary football with Dak as their QB. This movie was released 7 years ago.

The Cowboys will not win many games where the defense doesn't show up.

You'd just start ranting about Farniok and lose the script while everyone was googling who Farniok is. :laugh:

Haha...and I would be right once again. Matt Farniok would have played Center a lot better than Brock Hoffman did. Hoffman hurt the Cowboys on a few plays, plus not knowing the count of when to hike the football (which caused a fall start on the rest of the Oline during the first time with the ball, causing a 3rd & 6 to turn into a 3rd & 11, then a delay of game that killed the 1st position by making it 3rd & 16). Absolutely inexcusable! These are the pros!!!

Could have played Farniok at Center, kept Tyler Smith at Left Guard but bring in Asim Richards to play Left Tackle because Edoga was a complete disaater and a huge mistake playing Left Tackle. He had no business out there. I told you guys he sucks and would hurt this Offense.

I was right about both Hoffman and Edoga being wrong decisions to keep.

I definitely won’t be listening to it. There are a few highlight and opinion shows I will watch occasionally. That damn sure isn’t one of them and that includes after a cowboys win.

Notice how Helman isn’t on the show anymore? Because he was constantly pointing out their stupidity.

Team loss. The offense wasn't great but I would argue they were better than the defense. The Cardinals scored every time they had the ball in the first half. The defense also gave up that ridiculous 69 yard pass play when the Cowboys had just narrowed the lead Cards lead to 5 points. Yes, the defense improved in the 2nd half giving up only 7 points after that blown coverage. And yes, the offense gained a lot of yards in the second half but didn't score but 6 points. But if Gallup and CeeDee get those PI calls in the end zone the Cowboys win.

I am not saying Dak was good enough. He obviously wasn't. Those passes that should have been PI needed to be higher so the receivers could high point the ball. If the Gallup throw was 2 feet higher, Gallup makes that catch no matter what the defender does to him. But it was the defense that failed.

Yes, defenses have off days. But the way we were talking about this defense for 2 weeks, it was like they were the '85 Bears. Clearly they are not.

After watching all of the film it is very apparent that Dan Q and MM both had a horrible gameplan. Dan Q had Micah lined up at NT on 1st down smh.

Like it or not...that's how the players will read into the play calls: Our coach doesn't believe in our QB.

*Poof* There goes the "culture" and the season if that doesn't change. You can't come back from disbelief in a 17 game grind.

Where is your proof the players believe our coach has no belief in Dak?

Another hilarious assumption.
