The errors and lack of discipline were hard to watch..
This lies with the Head Coach and McCarthy is a lousy Head Coach. He got ran out of Green Bay amid reports that he didn’t even attend the offensive meetings. You can’t be uninvolved and be detail oriented by definition.The errors and lack of discipline were hard to watch..
Can you imagine those mistakes on a Belichek team?? Never happen.This lies with the Head Coach and McCarthy is a lousy Head Coach. He got ran out of Green Bay amid reports that he didn’t even attend the offensive meetings. You can’t be uninvolved and be detail oriented by definition.
They have great players..they just need some adult supervision...The cowboys lead the league in penalties this season, and the 49ers they had 14, half of them presnap. The 14 penalties also most in franchise history. I don't like McCarthy. Not impressed with hard knock beginning of season, too much joking around. I had zero confidence in this team start of season. But they started playing well, so gave McCarthy a chance. I would rather see Dan Quinn promoted to HC, especially if he gets an offer from another team which is very likely.
Discipline is is the HC's resposibility. Jerry did his part and had this team stacked with talant. I think the cowboys had the better roster going into the game, but the better team did win, because of coaching.No, I think the Cowboys are a better team, but they are undisciplined which I will lay at the feet of Jerrah.
Last minute of game time was a fitting end to it. Failure to spike ball in time to stop the clock. Summarized the level of execution. So save yourself some time and just watch that part.I was hunting and camping, was able to watch some on my iphone. Pretty disappointed, I want to watch the recording but I think it would be torture.
But this has been a problem through a lot of head coaches except Jimmy Johnson, at least to my memory. The Cowboys have been a three ring circus for a long time with all the distractions and that starts with Jerry. My younger brother gave up the Cowboys after seeing him fire/drive away Tom Landy and Jimmy Johnson. He refuses to bother until Jerry is gone one way or the other. So may be he has infected me with his cynicism. My older brother lives in the San Fran area and with his son a Niners fan I'm not even sure where his loyalties lie. I give Jerry credit for his successes like building good teams and his failures. He is not all bad, but to me the discipline problem starts with him because the players know where the buck stops and it's with Jerry.Discipline is is the HC's resposibility.

I did watch the highlights, amazing they could have won on that last drive, so close, just bad exicution. The call to throw the ball into the sun was not smart. But if they scored a TD on that last drive, which a top QB would have done, we would be having a much different conversation.
I was surprised with his behavior too. Thought they had more class. That's the NFL in a nutshell.But this has been a problem through a lot of head coaches except Jimmy Johnson, at least to my memory.

I'm extremely disappointed with Dak's post-game behavior.
You mean his comments about the bottle throwing at the refs? Yeah that was a dumb comment, but the mentality that the "refs are after us" I think McCarthy has driven that mentality with some of his comments. Dak does not make that comment on his own. Dak F'd up on the last play, not the Ref's fault, the HC's fault, obviously no situational coaching here.I'm extremely disappointed with Dak's post-game behavior.
MM had his team back out on the field to line up for a meaningless PAT attempt after the infamous “Fail Mary” game in Seattle years ago with the replacement refs. If there was ever a time to go after the refs it was then and he didn’t.You mean his comments about the bottle throwing at the refs?

That’s true, but mostly because there are a lot of bad coaches around the league. Given his roster talent, he was awful this season.McCarthy has his faults but one could do a lot worse at the HC position than him.
They do have a good roster. I don't think they're really stronger than the 49ers, Packers, Tampa, Rams so losing where they did isn't exactly a shocker. They finished 12-5, not exactly awful. They weren't going to be undefeated, it is the NFL. I wouldn't say he was awful, though I don' follow the Cowboys on a week to week basis either. He has his faults, but he's also proven pretty good too.That’s true, but mostly because there are a lot of bad coaches around the league. Given his roster talent, he was awful this season.
