Firing MM wont help because we lack talent, but it needs to be done. He's a lame duck coach, players know this, it just seems like they're done with him
It should’ve been done last winter, not that it will probably make much difference.
When McCarthy was hired, the other name mentioned was Marvin Lewis. Maybe he was just the Rooney rule interview, or maybe he was also the actual runner-up. Tells you all you need to know.

That’s where I’m at. I don’t think their lies/lines are entirely that. They actually believe this crap. The sycophants are the best at their job in the entire building.

The crazy part is we wouldn’t know just how clueless/delusional they are if they didn’t talk so much.

New Orleans was about running into a “hot team?” In week TWO? Just unreal and embarrassing.
Right. It’s like other narcissistic personalities we know. They utter the rhetoric so much they actually believe it.

Here are some brutally honest statistics about the Cowboys I wish this Jones front office would be forced to consume this evening:
  • The Cowboys are 3-5 in their last 8 games going back to last December.
  • The Cowboys are 0-3 in their last 3 home games.
  • Those last 3 home gameshave given us these brutal stats:
    • Averaging giving up 40 points a game…at home!
    • Averaging giving up 202 yds per game on the ground.
    • Opponents have scored 17 TDs against our Defense in this 0-3 stretch.
    • Opponents have scored on 22 of 27 possessions in those last 3 games at home.
  • Our last home win was on Christmas Eve last December.
Those stats are not an accident or a “couple of bad weeks against good opponents”. Those stats above are now what you call a trend or some really, really bad habits. The biggest problem we have (after the owner/GM) is this is not a very good roster. And although it’s only 3 games and normally too early to write a team off, this one might be the exception.

Here’s the final brutal truths:
  • There will not be any cavalry riding to rescue this team.
  • Scheme won’t fix it.
  • Picking up a DT or two from the NFL trash heap won’t fix it.
  • Trading for a RB (probably less talented than the 5 good ones we passed up in the draft in rounds 4-7) won’t fix it.
  • Firing Mike McCarthy (though deserved) won’t help.
  • This culture is putrid. And it reflects the owner and his entitled children.
This is not a very good roster. Buckle your seats kids. This could get ugly.
So glad to see a staff member here not being a mindless FANATIC.
I am beyond disgusted to see how my team is managed like a Circus.

You said it very well.
Even though it is VERY early in the season, everthing points to a disaster.
At this point, the few wins we get will get product of luck, casualty rathe than a well planned good peformance.

I am not against being optimistic, I am very against being fooled and pretending everything is ok.
The culture in this team is rotten to the very core. So and as I have been saying, untill JERRY JONES steps down and get get a REAL GM. Nothing will truly ever change.

Thought the same thing....but I think if you designate these big contracts June 1st cuts...spread them out over 2 years...then you cam cut the rebuild in half if you completely fire sale this thing right down to the bone....Honestly think that's what it's gonna take to clean this garbage up.
None of this helps with JJ at the helm. They've tried new players and coaches for decades with little to no positive impact. It's over.

Well said. And I should have added that it won’t get better when you just don’t have the talent at multiple positions.

wow, thanks for putting this together.....the one that stands out and feeds the rest of the stats is opposition scoring on 22 of 27 possessions....that's ugly

Yep. They had the perfect opportunity to play the waiting game with Dak and start a much needed rebuild but in true Joneses fashion, they ruined it by doing the complete opposite.
And that is the most frustrating and soul-crushing aspect of this entire clown-show of an organization. EVERYBODY knows and pretty much agrees that our defense is trash with maybe a couple of playmakers (Parson and Diggs), but we can't fix it because we shelled out a huge contract to a QB who in eight seasons has demonstrated that at best can help win us a wild card playoff game. This season alone we have over $90 million going to two players (Dak and Lamb) which combined is likely more than the collective salaries of the entire defense.

Look this loss still hurts, too much to post and not get angry and get benched at people are giving up and saying there is nothing that we can do to turn the season around!!



and I say I watched this team start out 3-5 in 2018 and I realize they went out and got amari Cooper…



but I like the way they fought at the end of the game, and by the way please don't call that garbage time, they literally were one or two tackles away like asking the defense to make a stop you know around the under 3 minute mark to getting our wonderful kicker who can probably kick a 70 yard field goal in range to tie the game when you're that close this is not garbage time!!



So, anybody who says that was garbage time and the Ravens let up wasn't watching the game, they were not allowing us to score, they did not pull out their starters they did not call off the dogs so I'm going to say from what I saw at the end of that game and all the angry sideline rants and emotion coming out from our players theres hope to get this turned around!!


The fact is in 2018 we started three and five and turned the damn season around and ended up in the second round of the playoffs, I'm not giving up I'm not that kind of fan, yes the defense has caused us to have to rethink and redo everything because it's historically bad ,you can't continue to start games to where you give up 20,19, and 16 points to start the last three games, that's halftime point deficits!!!!

That puts too much pressure on the rest of the team and it's not fair they need to get that **** fixed but I saw a lot of fight at the end of that game and I know everyone's going to come in here and say it was garbage time, and I'm telling you I'm not playing that game,


I watched the game they fought back and they had it within three that is not garbage time the Ravens almost gave up and blew this game and choked that is not garbage time.



they found some emotion they found some fight and they fell short and yes I know it looked like the game was out of reach but in the NFL no game is out of reach...


So, again anybody who doesn't want to read this, I am not going to listen to this was garbage time and the game wasn't as close as the final score that is not true they found a way to get back in it if it wasn't for Trayvon Diggs or even our best player in Parsons biting once again and allowing that first down that pretty much ended the game they make one stop and I promise you they would have got into range to at least try to tie the football game so it wasn't not garbage time...

This is why it's too early to be given up on the team and I get it we're all angry we're all upset, we're still in shock from the loss or a lot of you're going to say you knew it was coming.. so it didn't matter.. I get it, I understand and I and I'm on board it doesn't look good but we started out the season 3 and five in 2018 that's much worse than right now.


I think the fight they showed at the end I think they they're angry there's emotions there's passion running through this team I think they're seeing reality and all the talk is going to turn into actively trying to make themselves better each individual player and the coaching staff have now had to force themselves so look in the mirror and they're going to try to get this righted and they have plenty of season left to do so..


No I'm not a Homer, no I'm not a positive person, at all I'm not having this bright outlook, no silver lining, with all this positivity this is just my gut I'm telling you they're gonna fight their way back into this thing and they're going to make a season of it regardless of what happens at the end I don't care this isn't over.

I'm not debating it because I'm too angry ,that I don't want to hear about all the boneheaded nonsense that everyone's going to say how they knew this was going to happen it was the offseason there's no help coming everything Bob said most of it was true except for the fact that he thinks we can't fix this and I'm saying that I think that we can and until we're mathematically eliminated we have no chance at a wild card I'm going to continue to hope my team does well and know we're not going to finish in a top five draft pick situation I don't see that happening...

Again I'm not getting into it this is just my statement this is my post-game statement because I was too upset to do it last night I feel like we're going to get this thing righted enough to at least find our way into something at the end of the year.....

Certainly doesn’t look good Bob. And what really burns is Jerry saying “we couldn’t afford him” about Henry. That’s just an out right lie. All they had to do was extend Lamb and Dak in the spring to free up the cap space they have currently have which is ~$24 million.

But even as bleak as it looks, I’m not turning into a hater that does nothing but whine 24x7. I’ll leave that to all the losers here. That part IS entertaining.

Yep, let's not forget Jerry was responsible for giving Dak the exact contract (money and much more importantly number of years).
There's even a modicum of criticism on McClay for the 2023 Draft, a draft for need and belief that our running game was better suited with a blocking TE rather than a RB.

He’s way more involved than you think. He can’t help himself.
I’ve gotten reports from people inside the building. He’s way more involved with all his other businesses than too care about what practice squad linebacker is available.
