Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott both performed horribly in the Cowboys’ playoff defeat. Jerry Jones need to watch it.
Set them on fire. Slice them. Slip ’em with a pink slip. Offer them for adoption. Forward them to your in-laws. Whatever your preference for player, coach, or general manager, every Dallas Cowboys player deserves to be thrown into a Texas State Fair-sized kettle of boiling grease after what transpired at AT&T Stadium on Sunday afternoon. This was a historic day—the worst the Cowboys have ever experienced during Jerry Jones’ ownership. That’s a lot of territory covered, and a lot of nasty, too. There has never been anything this nasty. Jerry said, “I don’t want to rank it but I’m floored.” “It is more than I can understand.”
Because “it’s going to be different” this time, but in reality, it was worse than it had ever been. because the QB who won “NFL MVP” was horrible. It became worse with the head coach. Even terrible was the defensive coordinator. His defense was getting worse and worse. It was garbage, the kicker. Most likely, the cheerleaders were also terrible.
Sunday at AT&T Stadium, the Dallas Cowboys lost 48-32 to Green Bay in the wildcard round, and Dak Prescott and the team played a dismal game. McCoy, Amanda (amccoy@star-telegram.com). In the NFC playoffs, the second-seeded Dallas Cowboys were defeated 48-32 by the Green Bay Packers, who spayed and neutered them. Not only did the Cowboys fail to qualify for the NFC Conference Title Game—a first since 1995—but they also failed to go past the wildcard stage. The Cowboys have never surrendered this many points in a postseason game.

In a contract restructuring, the Cowboys are likely to give the guy an additional $50 million annually, but someone “in the room” needs to pose the difficult questions regarding the player. not the individual. The participant. These two subjects are not the same. The individual is fantastic. Excellent. Honorable. Professional, decent, and kind. The player is not perfect. Take ownership of it. I really didn’t expect we would be here, dammit. After the game, Dak stated, “I’m stunned.” “I didn’t do well tonight.” Although he had a season worthy of an MVP, this talented NFL quarterback has performed horribly in the postseason. He appeared to be a quarterback seeing ghosts late in the second quarter on Sunday, like a second-year player lost in his own thoughts.
His stat sheet from this game should not be examined; the stats are rife with falsehoods, terrible lies. Watch the game; he was terrible when this was a playoff game. Similar to his first-round playoff defeat to Green Bay during his rookie campaign. The same as the Rams playoff loss in Los Angeles. The same as the two losses to the 49ers in the playoffs. The Cowboys need to be honest about Dak, but don’t expect them to move on. With one year left on his deal, head coach Mike McCarthy has led the Cowboys to four seasons of “around it.” It is hardly by coincidence that the Cowboys have only won one playoff game in his three consecutive 12-win seasons in the NFL.
McCarthy will likely want to extend his contract by one year, but will Jerry be able to afford two more seasons of Mikey-Mike football with Jim Harbaugh, Mike Vrabel, Pete Carroll, and Bill Belichick all available? The answer would have been yes if the Cowboys had defeated the Packers in this playoff game. Jerry would have been right to deny Mike another game after what we witnessed here on Sunday. McCarthy remarked, “We chose a bad day to have a bad day.” Jerry didn’t bring up the matter following the game, but it will be brought up in the next few days or so.
This brings us to Dan Quinn, the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys and “head coach in waiting.” Rarely has a coordinator done a worse job of enhancing their CV to land a head coaching position. Quinn appeared to be on the point of taking over as head coach for the second time in his career, but given his squad’s performance on Sunday, an NFL team should give careful thought to how they employ him. Even though Dak had a terrible game against the Packers, his defense came through for him. For their performance on Sunday, Dak ought to purchase a new Range Rover for each member of his defense.
All of them, including Micah Parsons, Tank Lawrence, Jayron Kearse, and others, were in some way worse than Dak. With an average of 4.5 yards gained per carry, Aaron Jones led the Packers’ running attack with 121 yards and three touchdowns. All due respect to Dr. Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, and Bart Starr, the Cowboys defense ensured that Jordan Love will go down as the greatest quarterback in Green Bay Packers history.
Love completed five passes for 153 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions in his first postseason game. Bravo to practically every Cowboys defensive player who avoided Packers ball carriers and skillfully evaded the media following the game. Following the game, Cowboys defensive end and mannequin Dorance Armstrong stated, “I ain’t got nothin’ for you, dog.”
