Why would he change anything? He has one of the most profitable franchises in any sport across the globe. As long as people go to the games and buy jerseys, he has no reason to change.
1k running back season has always sounded like a solid benchmark if you never think about a RB doesn't have to reach even 60 yards in a single game the entire season...and still hit 1000.
1200 imo is the new benchmark. That's equivalent to 1000 in 14 games which is when 1000 yards was genuinely impressive and showed you were a top back. 1100 is around what 1000 was in 16 games.
@@michaelkelly8221I don't think Pollard sucks, but he does need a backfield partner. He will be better and the running game overall will be better with a 1-2 punch back there.
They could improve on their shitty run defense. That can be blamed on Quinn for scheming or Jones because he’s the one making the signings and draft picks, or perhaps both.
The biggest issue every year is Jerry. The Cowboys would be so much better if they had a head coach who wasn't just a yes man. I'm a Giants fan so I see the Cowboys play a lot and their roster is legit Super Bowl caliber and has been for a while, but their coaching is terrible.
The problem is dak Prescott. He sucks specially in playoffs time he chokes he literally sucks ass he scared to play and scared to get hurt he’s not a true quarterback. Cowboys need a quarterback that wants to win every game 📞👈
@@Blunts2123 They are both problems. But I do think that getting a new owner would be the best fix to all of the Cowboys' problems. Unfortunately for Cowboys fans, Jerry will never sell the team.
@@Blunts2123 You can win a Super Bowl with Dak. No, he isn't elite. But the root problem is not Dak. It's the culture. They need a hard nosed coach to have a chance! They have enough talent.
@@truthtransistorradio6716 bro if you go back five years and look all the time dak choke you will see the problem. Because everyone else on the team plays like they wana win but dak the only one choking and never will take us to super bro look at the Eagles quarterback he barely came in the league and already took the eagles to the Super Bowl but they didn’t winn
In the mid 90s, Jerry Jones fired head coach Jimmy Johnson SOLELY on ego. 3 chips but Jerry wanted it to be all about him. And he's spent the past three decades trying to prove he can win with anyone at head coach because he thinks he some football genius. And every year they fall short because he refuses to change. He won't relinquish control over ANY football operations, with is why he's both owner and GM, and he only wants yes men in the front office and coaching staff. It took him FOREVER to fire a mediocre Jason Garrett and it's gonna take him probably longer to pull the plug on McCarthy because he keeps the Cowboys looking good in the regular season. TBH, part of me thinks JJ stopped caring years ago. He owns the most valuable franchise all of sports, and fans pour money and support into merch, ticket sales, etc. no matter how much a let down the team is in the end. Why fret over not being champions when you laugh to the bank anyway?
Yep...I boycotted in 2008 when I realized that Jerry will NEVER get his ego under control and hire the right coaching staff that will bring in the right players to get back to the winning tradition! I was hoping more fans would boycott so we could send a message to Jerry but too many don't have the balls to boycott so why would Jerry change if weak people continue to watch and spend money at Jerry World, it doesn't give Jerry ANY incentive to do anything different when he's still making money, the weak fans apparently don't understand that! VERY frustrating! To this day I STILL don't watch the Cowboys and won't until Jerry has either died or sold to another owner, I had to disconnect so I don't have to deal with the expected disappointment EVERY f-ing year!

Ironic how this is said about Mike McCarthy...but the Steelers fans who say this about Mike Tomlin are "crazy and spoiled". Tomlin has gotten obliterated in his last 5 Playoff games, being outscored 66-0 in the 1st Quarter over that stretch. Hell...Mike McCarthy has at least won Playoff games recently.
The difference is that the cowboys have a solid team. The Steelers don't have that talent, and Mike tomlin still managed to get them in the playoffs. I agree with you, but there is a difference here.
@@drip2hard976their QBs suck and you know it. Tomlin has to deal with QBs like Kenny picket and Mason fucking Rudolph, not to mention the Steelers spending the least money on offense in an offensive league. Steelers gm hasn’t really done him much favors, the whole “defense wins championships” saying is washed by now tbh. They need a better offense it’s why they don’t ever win playoff games
The root of the Cowboys' weakness is simply Jerry Jones. His ego, micromanagement, and public scrutiny of his own coaching will continue to keep the Cowboys from being a team, as they'll remain without a group personality until they can get a coach in-house who can be allowed an actual leadership position. As long as Jerry is the overbearing dad there, the coaches are only the older brother. When things start to get stressful, there's no cohesion, the team doesn't gain strength from each other, and THAT has been their personality since Jerry starting meddling and publicly undercutting his own people. This team cannot survive the playoffs because their talent can't overcome their cancerous leadership.
Most NFL owners don't know SQUAT about football. They just show up to the games hoping for results. Jerry Jones is one. He's a Oil Tycoon and that's about it. Until he kicks the bucket the Cowboys won't win a DAMN thing 😂
@@yaahlabanyamyan144tbf to Jerry, while he never played the NFL he was also a team captain for a national championship team in Arkansas, it was how he was able to lure away Jimmy Johnson from Miami in the first place, he's not like David Tepper or Dan Snyder in that respect. I'd say at this point, he's more like late stage Al Davis where he knew what he was doing at one point but went senile and lost his touch.
Steelers are used to winning tons of close games where they throttle teams with pass rush. If teams stop the rush, or run the ball well they can get run out of the building. Where do you find offenses that can do this, in the playoffs. On the flip side, their offense is nothing special so when a team moves the ball consistently its over.
There were charts all year showing that Dak was the QB who benefited the most from playing teams with bad defenses and bad offenses. There were stats showing that he prefers certain throws. That was the perfect set up for Joe Barry (the Packers DC). Remember Joe Barry has done this before. He was part of the 2018 Rams staff that bet that in the divisional round that Dak could not move the ball consistently if you took away the deep, sideline routes. The Rams were proven right. On Sunday, there was more safety rotation, but Barry won with more or less the same approach. Dak has not improved since 2018. ... Barry exposed him.
Dak should be with another team imo, he's just not the answer for the cowboys. Dak is a really good qb just not in this situation and it might be late for it to be any different
Putting Micah parsons in coverage tells me all I need to know about Dan Quinn. This cowboys team needs an owner change and coaching change. The fact that Dak and Deedee were on fire and McCarthy decides to run the ball is idiotic. Daks 2nd pass came in on the second quarter with only a minute left. McCarthy is ass
I think the run scheme in Dallas is the problem not Pollard. Its kind of a similar deal with the Eagles. I dont know if there is statistics for this but id put money that outside runs is where Pollard thrives. Hes not this big bruising kind of back like Zeke was yet they use him in a similar way. He seems to be quite good as an outside rusher with decent physical upside but they give him so many inside runs. Would love to see him in a similar rushing scheme like a Jahmyr Gibbs
@@drewnolde2674I heard someone say Gibbs is the lightning and Montgomery is the thunder and it’s such a perfect description of why the lions run game works so well. they are both different but very effective and having them together removes having all the pressure to rush on one singular guy all game.
Been watching your videos for a while. Wanted to let you know that i think the cadence of your delivery is excellent. Enjoy your stuff even if i don't always agree.
@@FootballAnalysis1 it sounds natural, had no idea you put work in it Can I request a video? Whenever my poor Giants hire a DC, I'd like your opinion on how our defensive talent fits with his scheme.
I’ve got friends who are Steelers and Bills fans. They were saying “no way Dallas doesn’t fire McCarthy” and I told them, just wait. I promise nothing will change. Jerry is all talk about how bad he wants another ring, because if he was serious, he would remove himself from franchise outside of owner
I appreciate the Cowboys give us levity every January, but this year was particularly baffling because that is not a team lacking talent. I just flat out don't understand how they can go into a wild card game and look like they spent all week practicing checkers, not football. Maybe they're finally at the point where the sheer pressure to advance in the playoffs has them playing tense and nervous. I imagine the season after Jerry passes, they'll finally advance to the NFC championship game.
They also didn't lack talent in 2007, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021, and 2022! The problem is the culture! You can make the playoffs on talent alone. But you need team discipline, focus and motivation to get past the divisional round! This was one of the most extreme cases of getting our asses whipped by a lesser team! Not because they were that good. We sucked! Nobody showed up to play! That's on coaching! All year, we saw a lack of discipline and McCarthy NEVER gets in the faces of players! Until that changes, we won't improve.
Dude I've been thinking the same thing. The year Jerry passes away or the year right after will FINALLY be the year that the Cowboys can actually win a playoff game.
@@suxix7312 But I agree with the pressure. That comes back to coaching. A great coach is not just about Xs and Os, or even managing a game. It's about getting the players psychologically prepared to play their best. Or to make adjustments when needed at half time. That simply did not happen!
@truthtransistorradio6716 yes I mean get to the NFC championship game at the very least. If Jerry is gone they may actually win it all. I was 5 years old the last time they were really good. And yes my Eagles had that same issue with coaching at the end of the season. Team just quits.
The problem has always been mentality and that problem begins at the very top with Jerry and his choice of coaching hires. I love Dak, but he’s simply not a strong enough leader in the locker room to inspire the team to come back from behind when all the chips are on the table. As much as folks love bashing on Dak for choking I’d say it’s equally worth mentioning how mediocre the coaching has been for years now.
I will never understand how a man on the internet speaks about another man’s leadership qualities having never met him or anyone who has been around him. Very odd
It’s time to blow it up, Dak was a 4th round pick for reason dude is clearly not him he’ll put up empty stats against bad teams and run it up when the game is essentially over but you’re not winning anything with him as your QB.
The problem is ALL their QB's are NOT good enough. Dak 'can' throw but so can a lot of people playing out of position. The truth is that he's not a NATURAL QB. His mechanics are terrible, he's built like a TE, he can't seem to read multiple options, when the pressure comes out, he can't adjust or excel in high stakes situations. He just doesn't have an extended skill set but he's paid more money than Stafford who is, for all his faults and WAY more talented QB. Jones and Dallas by extension are in a no win situation and Trey Lance is NOT the answer either.
I said Monday Jerry wouldn't make a move. I knew it. He loves to spite Dallas Cowboys fans. This year alone, I spent a lot of money on this team. I attended games in San Fran & Wash. Not to mention the mechandise I forked over. I say that to say this. I will forever be a Cowboys fan. But next year, I will not financially support this team. I'm not spending a dollar on this team. With an owner egotistical owner. This move is to spite the fans. And to hang onto someone who's a yes man and he has beers with after the game. Cowboys fans always saying "Get rid of Dak (although I believe Dak would be better with better coaching), and Mike," but that's fool gold. No change will happen until Jerry steps down.
This right here. This right here is why Jerry secretly doesn't care about winning. The reason why the Cowboys are such a valuable sports franchise is because SO many fans feverishly dump money into it in merch and tickets.
That's exactly why Jerry Jones doesn't care. Because Cowboys fans continue to spend money purchasing merchandise and buying tickets to their games. It's really all about money for him.
It's long past time for that conversation. One thing is always certain with the Cowboys as it is in all of Texas. In January, when the weather gets cold, the power will go out
When the team brands itself as that, you have a target the size of the country on your back. Plus, this dates back when DAL had 3 Lombardis in the 70’s.
Good God. At least on the plays you showed Pollard didn't have a chance. That O-line is definitely not similar to the one the Boys had a few years ago.
This is a good take. Players have been telling us "It's a business" for 40 years and we just refuse to accept it, thinking they care so deeply about bringing a championship home "for the fans." High schools teams do that. Division 2 teams do that. Maybe even the Tide, since they're kind of all Alabama has on the national front. But pros? Come on. They lose, look suitably dejected for the cameras, pack up their lockers and go on vacation for a few months. Tell me a guy who grew up dirt poor in the projects or in some speck on a map would choose a Super Bowl ring over 30 million guaranteed and I'd say you're delusional. This channel is good, but I'm convinced he doesn't understand the true priorities of pro football. Wins are nice. Going to the playoffs is nice. Winning the Super Bowl is nice. But from owners to coaches to players, it's about money. Money is essential. Winning is nice.
I don't get. Dallas seems like a team that only gets better each year, gets more Pro Bowl players, and no matter what they choke in the playoffs in spectacular fashion. Doesn't matter the coach or QB, what in the world has to change? Is Jones REALLY that influential? I didn't see him next to McCarthy calling plays last weekend.
I think Jones undercuts the authority of the coaches and tends to overcommit to certain of his draft picks. Weak coaches can't make players do what has to be done in tough situations. Jones should hire a real GM and let him pick personnel with some input like most owners do.
You can’t sit here and talk about his stats and regular season record without talking about their history vs teams with winning records or playoffs teams.
This just shows the team has weaknesses that aren't exposed in regular season. It happens to a lot of teams that aren't Cowboys, just Cowboys think they are perfect. They could not stop the run, which kills pass rush and their DBs arent good. Offense can't run well themselves, so can't keep other O off the field.
My opinion on Dak (and basically most QBs) is this: If you move on from him, who the hell do you replace them with? Elite QBs aren't exactly in high supply in the NFL.
I knew when they replaced Jason Garrett with Fat Jason Garrett that we were doomed. This was the year to make some noise, season should’ve ended in San Fran at the very least. Gotta beef up on run offense and run defense this off-season if we want to stand a chance next year.

Offense... Defense... Coaches... Let the short-sighted come out. Do you know what is true no matter how you slice it? (As, you know, last year the D was pretty stout against SF.) A: Dak has looked terrible and lost for his last 3 playoffs losses. (As near decade veteran QB and longest tenured to a single team) And all I hear is that if every other player isn't an All-Pro... Well, then it must not be 4. Hmmm... Out of the last 24 wins which ones were the signature wins against teams that finished above .500? Which is the impressive playoff victory? The one against a crippled brady on his sub-500 retirement team? And to all those who say: "Well, then who do you find that's better?:" You know who would be better? THE REST OF THE TEAM will all of that money to spend on it! Other 4th round QB's do actually exist. I mean, I never thought Cooper Rush was the answer BUT he did show that it dosen't take much to drive the car. And weren't 4 of those wins HIS, last year? I feel like I need to take Crazy Pills to counter the Crazy Pills at this point.
Great video, really insightful, I think it’s time to start training Trey Lance although I love Dak it’s been clear it’s not going to work for a long time now
First time I've really disagreed with you. Eight years is enough time to prove your competence/incompetence. "Sign a long term deal" with Prescott? No freakin' way, man. No freakin' way.
Imo there's not much to discuss there the same old cowboys and will always be the same old cowboys I'm getting tired of channels and cowboys fans saying that this cowboys team is different but it always ends with disappointment. Jerry Jones the problem i can say alot more about him but keeping McCarthy should be proof enough that he's the problem. Also Dak is not that guy and I'm getting tired of people defending him saying he'd had a mvp type of year and it's also the defense fault yes those 2 things might be true but it's been over and over again that dak has sold when you need him the most and had tons of chances to have that game changing drive but he never delivers.

Feel like you NEED an elite QB to win in todays NFL, UNLESS the team is perfect around you like the Lions or Niners, the cowboys have 1 good receiver and no run game so it honestly makes sense why they aren’t winning big games
I try to talk about my pain of being a 22 year old Cowboys fan to my 70 year old Packers fan grandpa. He always just says how we used to smack them in the 90s. I don’t think he understands I literally don’t know how it feels to win. He literally bandwagoned the Packers when they were winning Championships every year before the SB era and has gotten to witness 4 superbowl wins. I got stuck with my team from my dad (who bandwagoned them in the 90s). I am the only mf in my family who DIDNT bandwagon as a matter of fact. And all I get for that is PAIN.
older football fans don’t seem to fully realize the glories of yesteryear haven’t been experienced by younger generations. as a commanders fan born in ‘99, i sympathize greatly with you my friend - and i can also tell you the common denominator for any franchise’s failure is ownership
@@nickl3377 at least we strongarmed our shitty owner into selling - no way josh harris is worse than snyder. y’all are stuck with jerry until he dies, and even then you’ll be stuck with his son stephen
I’m sorry, but if a team kills their opponents in the regular season year after year, and then fails spectacularly in the playoffs year after year, I mean this is so obviously 95% on the coaching staff. Obviously the players are showing over and over again that they have the ability to defeat their opponents, but when the big games come and the bright lights turn on, your opponents are ALWAYS going to have top level talent, AND some of the best coaching staffs in the business. If you don’t have the coaching staff to draft superior game plans, AND you lack the ability to adjust to situations effectively on the fly, then guess what - those flaws are going to be exposed and exploited year after year after year after year after year. Take Dak here - let’s just say hypothetically that Dak for some reason does indeed have a knack for choking in the playoffs…. It shouldn’t take long for an effective coaching staff to figure this out. So pray tell why has the game plan and approach not been adjusted to reflect this? Why haven’t things been adjusted in such a way to give the kid a chance to get some confidence in these big games? This is kind of basic math in my mind - even if that problem was real, there are plenty of ways to address that issue and I think it’s pretty clear that Cowboys fans haven’t seen any of that, yes or no? I mean it simply doesn’t take long for all the other teams to figure these “fraudu-coaches” out, so the results will be verrrrry consistent - those guys on the field will understand weaknesses in coaching literal YEARS before sports media figures it out. Look I don’t even watch football religiously anymore I basically keep up with things on RUclips - maybe that gives me a less emotional perspective? But I mean if this dude is just straight up SLAYING it for the majority of the games they play, but when it comes down to brass tax everything falls apart - BRUH how is ANYONE talking about this QB? Whether it’s the QB coach or whether it’s more coaches involved or whatever man there is a clear failure in that organization at the coaching level and above, if this hasn’t been addressed yet. I know people tend to freak out when coaches get fired so quickly after losing just a few playoff games, but man there is a REAL reason for that lol. At this level of play, frauds simply get exposed SO damned fast, as soon as they come up against the best minds in the business - and then all the sociopathic silver mouthpiece crap that got them where they are, suddenly gets exposed for the empty nonsense that it is. And they get canned.
I think the Saquon part at the end offers video is underrated from this standpoint. He’s what 26? And in RB years you might as well be a rookie 😂 I know some many fans myself included want king Henry but Saquon, not that he is could be a consolation prize for anyone who gets him & nor Derrick. The penn state with him and Micah being alum is there & we seen guys jump in division before for various reasons
Dan Quinn spent the week before the Packers game focused on lining up interviews and doing inverviews for other jobs. He made no game plan. The defense was completely unprepared because of Quinn and it showed.
The problem with Dak is that he’ll be really good at points and win some big games occasionally, but usually when it matters most he folds. If you get rid of him then you won’t have that security blanket of having a good regular season. They’d have to draft one and have him sit behind Dak to move on from him.
Dak is a typical A- or B+ QB. Can flash for a bit and look great, slump and make mistakes. Like Andy Dalton. The mistake is not having several of them so that one slumps the other can come in.
@@maskedman5657nah I’m blaming Dak. The dude is literal dog shit when he isn’t playing a 3-15 team. He’s shown just how bad he is the last 8 seasons. Don’t believe me? Look up his stats against teams over .500. Certified bum
I think the question is not "Was it Daks fault?" but "Would any of the top 8 QBs have won these games?" But even if your answer to that is yes, is there even a better QB option available? Man I'm relieved that I'm not a Cowboys fan bc there is no ez way out of this... Maybe their best option is to wait another year and see what happens next season?
Great comment. Out of curiosity, who would you say the top 8 QBs are if Dak isn’t on that list (which, I’m not saying he is). I’d probably say Mahomes, Allen, Stroud and Jackson are top 4 for sure, but I don’t know who exactly I’d fill in the other spots with. I’d like to say Purdy, Burrow, Hurts and Herbert; but I’m still not sure Purdy is any more than a system guy, Hurts just fell off hard, Herbert couldn’t make the playoffs, and Browning was almost as good as Burrow this year which makes Burrow look less special.
@@drewnolde2674 In no particular order (other than Mahomes being the cleat #1): - Mahomes - Burrow - Allen - Jackson - Stafford - Hurts - Purdy - Rodgers (IF he is still the same player after his injury) I will say that these are not my top 8 of this season alone, I find it more relevant to look over multiple recent seasons. Herbert/Lawrence look nice but never really put anything together despite having chances. Too early to put CJ Stroud up there imo. I get the Purdy argument but I rate him bc he looks SO much better than his predecessors with the same team. Also he almost went to the SB after starting like half a season and he looks like he's about to do it fr this time. I think he's kinda like Brady if you know what I mean. Burrow HAS to be in there, cmon. He was never 100% fit this season even before his big injury. Rodgers I'm giving the benefit of the doubt but yeah he has to go deep next season. And if Stroud goes to the SB I'm giving him the 8. spot right then
If your QB isn't elite but you think he is, you will give him too much to do, and he will press and make mistakes. If you can sustain drives by running, having good OL then even a modest QB can chip in with big plays.
I'm gonna have to go on a blackout because these Cowboys are frustrating the crap out of me and everyone with WiFi is twisting the knife. - This team was not prepared for Sunday and this falls on coaching. Dan Quinn will likely take another job and Mike McCarthy is gonna stay. I don't believe it. I love Dak, but he's too inconsistent in the playoffs and can't elevate his game when it matters. That is not a $60 million QB and if I owned them, I would trade Dak to a QB needy team and try to get a Russel Wilson esque deal from teams like ATL DEN or even WASH! I feel the team is better off trying to hold onto Lamb and Parsons. This team did go 5-1 a year ago with Cooper Rush as the starting QB. Tyron Smith and Zac Martin are aging and I would like this team to start drafting O-Line now. Tyler Smith was a good addition and we need to resign center Biadiz this offseason. Tony Pollard is likely gone so this team will also need a running back. I would prefer a bruiser if we can find them.

Jerry has the final say on everything done within the organization. The problem is his decision making. Hence why we can’t ever keep it together when it’s clutch time. Forever a cowboys fan but man it’s frustrating.

The entire Dallas team shat the bed, which points to problem somewhere in the coaching. Hard to say what it is, but they did not look at all prepared, they did not look like they had practised the coverages they would face, and the way the Packers like to play (the Packers are not a good defence due to their DC). The defensive plan was just not good, with too much emphasis on DBs and standing off and not enough on what the team does well. This is a hallmark of McCarthy coached teams. We watched it play out how many times with Green Bay? They would smash people in the regular season and then not turn up in the playoffs. I know the Cowboys have said they will bring back McCarthy, but he is part of the problem here.
Man Jordan Love was chucking floaters off his back foot., had the Wide Receivers not been soooooo wide open they had their own zip code ..those should have been picks or batted down..
The cowboys offensive line has been one of the best units of all time and is largely been responsible for the success of Dak Prescott Ezekiel Elliott Tony pollard and DeMarco Murray. But they are aging and once that line falls apart Dallas is not going to be the team that they have been for the last decade. When skill position players suddenly fall off we look at every reason under the Sun except the offensive line the main reason 90% of the time (discounting injuries)
Just so we're clear, the Cowboys had a top 4 offense in the postseason too. They put up the 3rd most points among WC teams. The problem was, their defense let their opponent put up more.
It is fairly easy to see where the Cowboys went wrong. They should have signed Dak to an extension BEFORE franchising him all those times. It destroyed their Salary Cap situation and affected their draft choices (they kept having to use picks to replace players that they could not re-sign.
@@creepycrespi8180 Of course not, but my point was the offense didn't matter, even the best would have lost as long as the defense was so utterly helpless.
It would be one thing if the Cowboys blew leads in their string of playoff disappointments, but if you look at the record they consistently fall behind big early. Idk how with all the talent and hype they manage to come out flat as a board every winter but this Giants fan is not complaining.
Paying Dak anything north of 40 mil / year is a bad deal. He’s a 30 something mil / year talent. The Cowboys really should just let him play out this year to get that cap hit behind them before the younger players cap hits go up and if Dak can get more elsewhere then that’s one team you know you can beat.
Parsons lack of effort jumps out on film, on that goal line run by Jones Parsons had a chance to explode on him meeting him before he got to the line, with Parson's speed and agility that looks certainly possible but Parsons chose instead to watch Jones score a TD.
Bro if cowboys keep dak Prescott. I’m not watching cowboys no more. And I’m. It a fan anymore dak is trash bro. Three straight years he choked. At least that I know of but he always chokes on. Playoffs time trade him asap.
Comparing the losses of Dallas and Miami is hard. Nobody will doubt that Dallas’ playoff loss was more egregious than Miami’s. Miami had to play in the cold against one of the best in the AFC with a banged up roster. Dallas was relatively healthy, and hosted the lowest seed, and got blown out
The culture is bad the coaching is non existent in the playoffs and the quarterback is one of the biggest choke artist in big games ever and people sweep it under the rug lol. I love it

We’ve been having this conversation for like 30 years
LMAO they are the new age Lions. And they got the same colors too ? 😂
Will we keep having it for the next 30 years is the real question
The Cowboys haven’t done anything since Bill Clinton was cheating on his wife
@@yaahlabanyamyan144nah lions usually suck. Cowboys always have a pretty good team but they fall on their face in the playoffs every year
Guys I swear, next year is their year! One of these times they'll be right.
Jerry: “I’m not changing anything, but I expect different results next year. Good luck, gentlemen” 😊
Why would he change anything? He has one of the most profitable franchises in any sport across the globe. As long as people go to the games and buy jerseys, he has no reason to change.
1k running back season has always sounded like a solid benchmark if you never think about a RB doesn't have to reach even 60 yards in a single game the entire season...and still hit 1000.
1200 imo is the new benchmark. That's equivalent to 1000 in 14 games which is when 1000 yards was genuinely impressive and showed you were a top back. 1100 is around what 1000 was in 16 games.
Pollard sucks. But he prances around like a fucking you know what. 1000 ain't shit.
@@michaelkelly8221I don't think Pollard sucks, but he does need a backfield partner. He will be better and the running game overall will be better with a 1-2 punch back there.
@@jmcfan11 in a 16 game season its 62.5 yds a game to reach 1k vs 58.8 in 17 games. My point still stands.
Pollards backup has way more speed
I dont know how the cowboys are just rolling into next year with no changes. They have to get over their hump in the playoffs
How much better can they get? A real running game maybe, but that’s about it. People aren’t their problem.
They have an extremely talented roster. Blowing it up is the easy overreaction that gets you to click. I hope they asses the holes and regroup.
How bout them cowboys
It's never going to happen. They are who they are and psychologically it damages their players come playoff time. You can blame the US Media for that
They could improve on their shitty run defense. That can be blamed on Quinn for scheming or Jones because he’s the one making the signings and draft picks, or perhaps both.
The biggest issue every year is Jerry. The Cowboys would be so much better if they had a head coach who wasn't just a yes man. I'm a Giants fan so I see the Cowboys play a lot and their roster is legit Super Bowl caliber and has been for a while, but their coaching is terrible.
The problem is dak Prescott. He sucks specially in playoffs time he chokes he literally sucks ass he scared to play and scared to get hurt he’s not a true quarterback. Cowboys need a quarterback that wants to win every game 📞👈
@@Blunts2123 They are both problems. But I do think that getting a new owner would be the best fix to all of the Cowboys' problems. Unfortunately for Cowboys fans, Jerry will never sell the team.
Not interested. No one wants to hear about the Cowboys, MVP Dak, and their Super Bowl. Media can crown champs in June again.
@@Blunts2123 You can win a Super Bowl with Dak. No, he isn't elite. But the root problem is not Dak. It's the culture. They need a hard nosed coach to have a chance! They have enough talent.
@@truthtransistorradio6716 bro if you go back five years and look all the time dak choke you will see the problem. Because everyone else on the team plays like they wana win but dak the only one choking and never will take us to super bro look at the Eagles quarterback he barely came in the league and already took the eagles to the Super Bowl but they didn’t winn
In the mid 90s, Jerry Jones fired head coach Jimmy Johnson SOLELY on ego. 3 chips but Jerry wanted it to be all about him. And he's spent the past three decades trying to prove he can win with anyone at head coach because he thinks he some football genius. And every year they fall short because he refuses to change. He won't relinquish control over ANY football operations, with is why he's both owner and GM, and he only wants yes men in the front office and coaching staff. It took him FOREVER to fire a mediocre Jason Garrett and it's gonna take him probably longer to pull the plug on McCarthy because he keeps the Cowboys looking good in the regular season.
TBH, part of me thinks JJ stopped caring years ago. He owns the most valuable franchise all of sports, and fans pour money and support into merch, ticket sales, etc. no matter how much a let down the team is in the end. Why fret over not being champions when you laugh to the bank anyway?
Why are the Cowboys "the most valuable franchise in all of sports?" What's the justification for that?
According to Forbes the Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise. Worth over 9 billion dollars. The New York Yankees are second at 7.1 billion.
Everything that has happened to the Cowboys since he fired Jimmy has been karma.
Yep...I boycotted in 2008 when I realized that Jerry will NEVER get his ego under control and hire the right coaching staff that will bring in the right players to get back to the winning tradition! I was hoping more fans would boycott so we could send a message to Jerry but too many don't have the balls to boycott so why would Jerry change if weak people continue to watch and spend money at Jerry World, it doesn't give Jerry ANY incentive to do anything different when he's still making money, the weak fans apparently don't understand that! VERY frustrating! To this day I STILL don't watch the Cowboys and won't until Jerry has either died or sold to another owner, I had to disconnect so I don't have to deal with the expected disappointment EVERY f-ing year!
It's championship, not "chip". Use your words little kid.
Dak is the Tom Brady of garbage time stats. This year was the year to go for it. Cowboys blew it as usual.
Most of his points wasn't during downtime because the Cowboys are rarely behind on points. I don't know what the heck you're talking about
Garbage time is garbage time. Quit sticking up for his sorry ass. I hope they sign him to a long term deal.
You think he's inherited the crown from Matthew Stafford?
@@jmcfan11and what did Stafford do while playing with the lions ?

@@shawnlewis1918 he's not even gonna fire DQ. Can't wait to go 12-5 again and get bounced in the playoffs
Ironic how this is said about Mike McCarthy...but the Steelers fans who say this about Mike Tomlin are "crazy and spoiled". Tomlin has gotten obliterated in his last 5 Playoff games, being outscored 66-0 in the 1st Quarter over that stretch. Hell...Mike McCarthy has at least won Playoff games recently.
The difference is that the cowboys have a solid team. The Steelers don't have that talent, and Mike tomlin still managed to get them in the playoffs. I agree with you, but there is a difference here.
@@DJZO1203 idk man, they've had receivers and running backs at a premium and they have great defensive talent
@@drip2hard976their QBs suck and you know it. Tomlin has to deal with QBs like Kenny picket and Mason fucking Rudolph, not to mention the Steelers spending the least money on offense in an offensive league. Steelers gm hasn’t really done him much favors, the whole “defense wins championships” saying is washed by now tbh. They need a better offense it’s why they don’t ever win playoff games
Is this satire?
They both suffer the same affliction: they are more focused on maintaining "The Standard" than actually winning.
The Cowboys won 12 games and had the 2-seed. Most teams would beg for that. They don’t need to improve personnel or coaching. Their problem is mental.
Finally someone said it. Once losing goes mental its a wrap.
Their problem is their overbearing, micromanaging owner
You don't the coaching contributes to the mental issues? McCarthy and Quinn's shortcomings have been pretty well established at this point
@@bigbearkat2010 how are McCarthy and Quinn different from Garrett and his coordinators? The issue is Jerry.
@@konnorrockkonnoisseur4970 ABSOLUTELY
The root of the Cowboys' weakness is simply Jerry Jones. His ego, micromanagement, and public scrutiny of his own coaching will continue to keep the Cowboys from being a team, as they'll remain without a group personality until they can get a coach in-house who can be allowed an actual leadership position. As long as Jerry is the overbearing dad there, the coaches are only the older brother. When things start to get stressful, there's no cohesion, the team doesn't gain strength from each other, and THAT has been their personality since Jerry starting meddling and publicly undercutting his own people. This team cannot survive the playoffs because their talent can't overcome their cancerous leadership.
Most NFL owners don't know SQUAT about football. They just show up to the games hoping for results. Jerry Jones is one. He's a Oil Tycoon and that's about it. Until he kicks the bucket the Cowboys won't win a DAMN thing 😂
LONG LIVE JERRY! May Dem Boyz continue the cycle
No doubt. On top of that, he pays players like Dak 40 mil a year.
@@yaahlabanyamyan144tbf to Jerry, while he never played the NFL he was also a team captain for a national championship team in Arkansas, it was how he was able to lure away Jimmy Johnson from Miami in the first place, he's not like David Tepper or Dan Snyder in that respect. I'd say at this point, he's more like late stage Al Davis where he knew what he was doing at one point but went senile and lost his touch.
Steelers are used to winning tons of close games where they throttle teams with pass rush. If teams stop the rush, or run the ball well they can get run out of the building. Where do you find offenses that can do this, in the playoffs. On the flip side, their offense is nothing special so when a team moves the ball consistently its over.
There were charts all year showing that Dak was the QB who benefited the most from playing teams with bad defenses and bad offenses. There were stats showing that he prefers certain throws. That was the perfect set up for Joe Barry (the Packers DC). Remember Joe Barry has done this before. He was part of the 2018 Rams staff that bet that in the divisional round that Dak could not move the ball consistently if you took away the deep, sideline routes. The Rams were proven right. On Sunday, there was more safety rotation, but Barry won with more or less the same approach. Dak has not improved since 2018. ... Barry exposed him.
Which is just wild thing to say isn't it, given all the shit Barry has taken this season?
No joke, when I saw this video was up, I said to myself 'oh yeah, here we go'
Ok that's funny as fuck
Until you give me back the Washington Redskins, you will be cursed with the Dallas Cowgirls.
The answer is to look at the constant over the last 30 years. Which person has been in the cowboys organization thru the whole timeline? Jerry Jones
Dak should be with another team imo, he's just not the answer for the cowboys. Dak is a really good qb just not in this situation and it might be late for it to be any different
Putting Micah parsons in coverage tells me all I need to know about Dan Quinn. This cowboys team needs an owner change and coaching change. The fact that Dak and Deedee were on fire and McCarthy decides to run the ball is idiotic. Daks 2nd pass came in on the second quarter with only a minute left. McCarthy is ass
I think the run scheme in Dallas is the problem not Pollard. Its kind of a similar deal with the Eagles. I dont know if there is statistics for this but id put money that outside runs is where Pollard thrives. Hes not this big bruising kind of back like Zeke was yet they use him in a similar way. He seems to be quite good as an outside rusher with decent physical upside but they give him so many inside runs.
Would love to see him in a similar rushing scheme like a Jahmyr Gibbs
I think Gibbs only works so well because the Lions also have someone like Montgomery. The Cowboys didn’t have anyone like that this year.
@@drewnolde2674I heard someone say Gibbs is the lightning and Montgomery is the thunder and it’s such a perfect description of why the lions run game works so well. they are both different but very effective and having them together removes having all the pressure to rush on one singular guy all game.
@@deeee4663 Yeah it’s what the Cowboys had last year. Zeke was the Montgomery, and Pollard was amazing. But without Zeke, Pollard is less effective.

This means more than you know. As a content creator this is something I work on everyday and I am glad you can tell 🫡
@@FootballAnalysis1 it sounds natural, had no idea you put work in it
Can I request a video? Whenever my poor Giants hire a DC, I'd like your opinion on how our defensive talent fits with his scheme.
So basically Dak can’t play well if his defense or o like has a bad game and is not worth an extension
Well most qbs play bad with a bad o line
I’ve got friends who are Steelers and Bills fans. They were saying “no way Dallas doesn’t fire McCarthy” and I told them, just wait. I promise nothing will change. Jerry is all talk about how bad he wants another ring, because if he was serious, he would remove himself from franchise outside of owner
I appreciate the Cowboys give us levity every January, but this year was particularly baffling because that is not a team lacking talent. I just flat out don't understand how they can go into a wild card game and look like they spent all week practicing checkers, not football. Maybe they're finally at the point where the sheer pressure to advance in the playoffs has them playing tense and nervous.
I imagine the season after Jerry passes, they'll finally advance to the NFC championship game.
They also didn't lack talent in 2007, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021, and 2022! The problem is the culture! You can make the playoffs on talent alone. But you need team discipline, focus and motivation to get past the divisional round! This was one of the most extreme cases of getting our asses whipped by a lesser team! Not because they were that good. We sucked! Nobody showed up to play! That's on coaching! All year, we saw a lack of discipline and McCarthy NEVER gets in the faces of players! Until that changes, we won't improve.
Dude I've been thinking the same thing. The year Jerry passes away or the year right after will FINALLY be the year that the Cowboys can actually win a playoff game.
@@suxix7312 They won a playoff game last year! You mean get past the divisional round?
@@suxix7312 But I agree with the pressure. That comes back to coaching. A great coach is not just about Xs and Os, or even managing a game. It's about getting the players psychologically prepared to play their best. Or to make adjustments when needed at half time. That simply did not happen!
@truthtransistorradio6716 yes I mean get to the NFC championship game at the very least. If Jerry is gone they may actually win it all. I was 5 years old the last time they were really good. And yes my Eagles had that same issue with coaching at the end of the season. Team just quits.
The problem has always been mentality and that problem begins at the very top with Jerry and his choice of coaching hires. I love Dak, but he’s simply not a strong enough leader in the locker room to inspire the team to come back from behind when all the chips are on the table. As much as folks love bashing on Dak for choking I’d say it’s equally worth mentioning how mediocre the coaching has been for years now.
I will never understand how a man on the internet speaks about another man’s leadership qualities having never met him or anyone who has been around him. Very odd
@@garret6464 The end results is what brings the criticism....do you disagree?
It’s time to blow it up, Dak was a 4th round pick for reason dude is clearly not him he’ll put up empty stats against bad teams and run it up when the game is essentially over but you’re not winning anything with him as your QB.
2 years later...Remember my venting from the end of the 2021 season, Garret?
:(
@FootballAnalysis1 I wasn't kidding. I actually became a Jets fan, believe it or not. The mindset: Join a team with promise before they get hot.
@@trevonpernell0814 Come to the pack
I have finally learned after 30 years. You Can't fix Stupid!
The problem is ALL their QB's are NOT good enough. Dak 'can' throw but so can a lot of people playing out of position. The truth is that he's not a NATURAL QB. His mechanics are terrible, he's built like a TE, he can't seem to read multiple options, when the pressure comes out, he can't adjust or excel in high stakes situations. He just doesn't have an extended skill set but he's paid more money than Stafford who is, for all his faults and WAY more talented QB. Jones and Dallas by extension are in a no win situation and Trey Lance is NOT the answer either.
The problem is JERRY F-ING JONES.......PERIOD!
Dax contract situation is like a complete reverse of flaco's contract situation back in the day
Jerry already made his genius move: trading for Trey Lance. Cowboys haters, be warned.
Crazy thing is the cowboys stopped the packers on the first drive and made a big stop with momentum. But then a penalty gave GB life
Mike still has one year left on his contract and Jerry is old.
It’s simply cheaper to keep her and Jerry is too old to date. 🤷🏾♂️
Reuniting parsons and Barkley would be huge, really like that call.
Dak/CeeDee/Micah taking about 40% of cap money is not going to work.
I said Monday Jerry wouldn't make a move. I knew it. He loves to spite Dallas Cowboys fans. This year alone, I spent a lot of money on this team. I attended games in San Fran & Wash. Not to mention the mechandise I forked over. I say that to say this. I will forever be a Cowboys fan. But next year, I will not financially support this team. I'm not spending a dollar on this team. With an owner egotistical owner. This move is to spite the fans. And to hang onto someone who's a yes man and he has beers with after the game. Cowboys fans always saying "Get rid of Dak (although I believe Dak would be better with better coaching), and Mike," but that's fool gold. No change will happen until Jerry steps down.
This right here. This right here is why Jerry secretly doesn't care about winning. The reason why the Cowboys are such a valuable sports franchise is because SO many fans feverishly dump money into it in merch and tickets.
That's exactly why Jerry Jones doesn't care. Because Cowboys fans continue to spend money purchasing merchandise and buying tickets to their games. It's really all about money for him.
It's long past time for that conversation. One thing is always certain with the Cowboys as it is in all of Texas. In January, when the weather gets cold, the power will go out
How is it when “America’s team loses”, America wins? New York Knicks of football.
When the team brands itself as that, you have a target the size of the country on your back. Plus, this dates back when DAL had 3 Lombardis in the 70’s.
I'd say more like the bulls Knicks fans cant remember winning
Dan Quinn told Mazi to drop 40 lbs because being smaller is what you want from a 2-tech 😂
It's Jerry..
Status Quo City. A Dallas Cowboys recipe for disappointment!
Hilarious. Cowboys debacle has never cease to amuse me. Thanks Cowboy nation - good times.
Good God. At least on the plays you showed Pollard didn't have a chance. That O-line is definitely not similar to the one the Boys had a few years ago.
If you're trying to get "paid" then you're not remotely serious about winning.
This is a good take. Players have been telling us "It's a business" for 40 years and we just refuse to accept it, thinking they care so deeply about bringing a championship home "for the fans." High schools teams do that. Division 2 teams do that. Maybe even the Tide, since they're kind of all Alabama has on the national front.
But pros? Come on. They lose, look suitably dejected for the cameras, pack up their lockers and go on vacation for a few months. Tell me a guy who grew up dirt poor in the projects or in some speck on a map would choose a Super Bowl ring over 30 million guaranteed and I'd say you're delusional.
This channel is good, but I'm convinced he doesn't understand the true priorities of pro football. Wins are nice. Going to the playoffs is nice. Winning the Super Bowl is nice. But from owners to coaches to players, it's about money. Money is essential. Winning is nice.
I don't get. Dallas seems like a team that only gets better each year, gets more Pro Bowl players, and no matter what they choke in the playoffs in spectacular fashion. Doesn't matter the coach or QB, what in the world has to change? Is Jones REALLY that influential? I didn't see him next to McCarthy calling plays last weekend.
I think Jones undercuts the authority of the coaches and tends to overcommit to certain of his draft picks. Weak coaches can't make players do what has to be done in tough situations. Jones should hire a real GM and let him pick personnel with some input like most owners do.
$30 M a year for 1 receiver. Holy shit
They need a real running game. Pollard isn’t a starting running back. Dak has won as many playoff games as Baker Mayfield. Dak makes 12x of Mayfield.
You can’t sit here and talk about his stats and regular season record without talking about their history vs teams with winning records or playoffs teams.
This just shows the team has weaknesses that aren't exposed in regular season. It happens to a lot of teams that aren't Cowboys, just Cowboys think they are perfect. They could not stop the run, which kills pass rush and their DBs arent good. Offense can't run well themselves, so can't keep other O off the field.
My opinion on Dak (and basically most QBs) is this: If you move on from him, who the hell do you replace them with? Elite QBs aren't exactly in high supply in the NFL.
Trey Lance🤷

Offense... Defense... Coaches... Let the short-sighted come out. Do you know what is true no matter how you slice it? (As, you know, last year the D was pretty stout against SF.)
A: Dak has looked terrible and lost for his last 3 playoffs losses. (As near decade veteran QB and longest tenured to a single team)
And all I hear is that if every other player isn't an All-Pro... Well, then it must not be 4. Hmmm... Out of the last 24 wins which ones were the signature wins against teams that finished above .500? Which is the impressive playoff victory? The one against a crippled brady on his sub-500 retirement team?
And to all those who say: "Well, then who do you find that's better?:" You know who would be better? THE REST OF THE TEAM will all of that money to spend on it! Other 4th round QB's do actually exist. I mean, I never thought Cooper Rush was the answer BUT he did show that it dosen't take much to drive the car. And weren't 4 of those wins HIS, last year?

Imo there's not much to discuss there the same old cowboys and will always be the same old cowboys I'm getting tired of channels and cowboys fans saying that this cowboys team is different but it always ends with disappointment. Jerry Jones the problem i can say alot more about him but keeping McCarthy should be proof enough that he's the problem. Also Dak is not that guy and I'm getting tired of people defending him saying he'd had a mvp type of year and it's also the defense fault yes those 2 things might be true but it's been over and over again that dak has sold when you need him the most and had tons of chances to have that game changing drive but he never delivers.

You don't if you can run the ball very well and have a good defense. Teams think this is boring these days.

It can’t be overstated how generally poor our run blocking was this year. I think our run blocking scheme has gotten stale.
Lmaoooooo they do this every season it's truly amazing to watch
I’m sorry, but if a team kills their opponents in the regular season year after year, and then fails spectacularly in the playoffs year after year, I mean this is so obviously 95% on the coaching staff. Obviously the players are showing over and over again that they have the ability to defeat their opponents, but when the big games come and the bright lights turn on, your opponents are ALWAYS going to have top level talent, AND some of the best coaching staffs in the business. If you don’t have the coaching staff to draft superior game plans, AND you lack the ability to adjust to situations effectively on the fly, then guess what - those flaws are going to be exposed and exploited year after year after year after year after year.
Take Dak here - let’s just say hypothetically that Dak for some reason does indeed have a knack for choking in the playoffs…. It shouldn’t take long for an effective coaching staff to figure this out. So pray tell why has the game plan and approach not been adjusted to reflect this? Why haven’t things been adjusted in such a way to give the kid a chance to get some confidence in these big games? This is kind of basic math in my mind - even if that problem was real, there are plenty of ways to address that issue and I think it’s pretty clear that Cowboys fans haven’t seen any of that, yes or no?
I mean it simply doesn’t take long for all the other teams to figure these “fraudu-coaches” out, so the results will be verrrrry consistent - those guys on the field will understand weaknesses in coaching literal YEARS before sports media figures it out.
Look I don’t even watch football religiously anymore I basically keep up with things on RUclips - maybe that gives me a less emotional perspective? But I mean if this dude is just straight up SLAYING it for the majority of the games they play, but when it comes down to brass tax everything falls apart - BRUH how is ANYONE talking about this QB? Whether it’s the QB coach or whether it’s more coaches involved or whatever man there is a clear failure in that organization at the coaching level and above, if this hasn’t been addressed yet.
I know people tend to freak out when coaches get fired so quickly after losing just a few playoff games, but man there is a REAL reason for that lol. At this level of play, frauds simply get exposed SO damned fast, as soon as they come up against the best minds in the business - and then all the sociopathic silver mouthpiece crap that got them where they are, suddenly gets exposed for the empty nonsense that it is. And they get canned.
I think the Saquon part at the end offers video is underrated from this standpoint. He’s what 26? And in RB years you might as well be a rookie 😂 I know some many fans myself included want king Henry but Saquon, not that he is could be a consolation prize for anyone who gets him & nor Derrick. The penn state with him and Micah being alum is there & we seen guys jump in division before for various reasons
Dan Quinn spent the week before the Packers game focused on lining up interviews and doing inverviews for other jobs. He made no game plan. The defense was completely unprepared because of Quinn and it showed.
The problem with Dak is that he’ll be really good at points and win some big games occasionally, but usually when it matters most he folds. If you get rid of him then you won’t have that security blanket of having a good regular season. They’d have to draft one and have him sit behind Dak to move on from him.
Blame the team not Dak
Dak is a typical A- or B+ QB. Can flash for a bit and look great, slump and make mistakes. Like Andy Dalton. The mistake is not having several of them so that one slumps the other can come in.
@@maskedman5657nah I’m blaming Dak. The dude is literal dog shit when he isn’t playing a 3-15 team. He’s shown just how bad he is the last 8 seasons. Don’t believe me? Look up his stats against teams over .500. Certified bum
I think the question is not "Was it Daks fault?" but "Would any of the top 8 QBs have won these games?"
But even if your answer to that is yes, is there even a better QB option available?
Man I'm relieved that I'm not a Cowboys fan bc there is no ez way out of this... Maybe their best option is to wait another year and see what happens next season?
They tried that the last two years already
@@bigbearkat2010 Who would you get then that is better?
Great comment. Out of curiosity, who would you say the top 8 QBs are if Dak isn’t on that list (which, I’m not saying he is).
I’d probably say Mahomes, Allen, Stroud and Jackson are top 4 for sure, but I don’t know who exactly I’d fill in the other spots with. I’d like to say Purdy, Burrow, Hurts and Herbert; but I’m still not sure Purdy is any more than a system guy, Hurts just fell off hard, Herbert couldn’t make the playoffs, and Browning was almost as good as Burrow this year which makes Burrow look less special.
@@drewnolde2674 In no particular order (other than Mahomes being the cleat #1):
- Mahomes
- Burrow
- Allen
- Jackson
- Stafford
- Hurts
- Purdy
- Rodgers (IF he is still the same player after his injury)
I will say that these are not my top 8 of this season alone, I find it more relevant to look over multiple recent seasons.
Herbert/Lawrence look nice but never really put anything together despite having chances.
Too early to put CJ Stroud up there imo.
I get the Purdy argument but I rate him bc he looks SO much better than his predecessors with the same team. Also he almost went to the SB after starting like half a season and he looks like he's about to do it fr this time. I think he's kinda like Brady if you know what I mean.
Burrow HAS to be in there, cmon. He was never 100% fit this season even before his big injury.
Rodgers I'm giving the benefit of the doubt but yeah he has to go deep next season. And if Stroud goes to the SB I'm giving him the 8. spot right then
Ferg was open at the start when dak took that unnecessary sack. But he can't throw guys open so that's the issue
the cowboys messing up against bad teams was never the problem. the problem has always been that the lights are too bright for them
Romo and Dak really really talented qbs. Bur, the postseason? WTF happens down there?
If your QB isn't elite but you think he is, you will give him too much to do, and he will press and make mistakes. If you can sustain drives by running, having good OL then even a modest QB can chip in with big plays.
I'm gonna have to go on a blackout because these Cowboys are frustrating the crap out of me and everyone with WiFi is twisting the knife.
- This team was not prepared for Sunday and this falls on coaching. Dan Quinn will likely take another job and Mike McCarthy is gonna stay. I don't believe it.
I love Dak, but he's too inconsistent in the playoffs and can't elevate his game when it matters. That is not a $60 million QB and if I owned them, I would trade Dak to a QB needy team and try to get a Russel Wilson esque deal from teams like ATL DEN or even WASH!
I feel the team is better off trying to hold onto Lamb and Parsons. This team did go 5-1 a year ago with Cooper Rush as the starting QB.
Tyron Smith and Zac Martin are aging and I would like this team to start drafting O-Line now. Tyler Smith was a good addition and we need to resign center Biadiz this offseason. Tony Pollard is likely gone so this team will also need a running back. I would prefer a bruiser if we can find them.
watching this trying to not get frustrated as a cowboys fan is not easy
Yep...I boycotted in 2008 when I realized that Jerry will NEVER get his ego under control and hire the right coaching staff that will bring in the right players to get back to the winning tradition! I was hoping more fans would boycott so we could send a message to Jerry but too many don't have the balls to boycott so why would Jerry change if weak people continue to watch and spend money at Jerry World, it doesn't give Jerry ANY incentive to do anything different when he's still making money, the weak fans apparently don't understand that! VERY frustrating! To this day I STILL don't watch the Cowboys and won't until Jerry has either died or sold to another owner, I had to disconnect so I don't have to deal with the expected disappointment EVERY f-ing year!
The Cowboys are a great regular season team, but in the playoffs they stink! More times than not theyve lost to lesser teams in the playoffs!
Jerry has the final say on everything done within the organization. The problem is his decision making. Hence why we can’t ever keep it together when it’s clutch time. Forever a cowboys fan but man it’s frustrating.

The entire Dallas team shat the bed, which points to problem somewhere in the coaching. Hard to say what it is, but they did not look at all prepared, they did not look like they had practised the coverages they would face, and the way the Packers like to play (the Packers are not a good defence due to their DC). The defensive plan was just not good, with too much emphasis on DBs and standing off and not enough on what the team does well. This is a hallmark of McCarthy coached teams. We watched it play out how many times with Green Bay? They would smash people in the regular season and then not turn up in the playoffs. I know the Cowboys have said they will bring back McCarthy, but he is part of the problem here.
Man Jordan Love was chucking floaters off his back foot., had the Wide Receivers not been soooooo wide open they had their own zip code ..those should have been picks or batted down..
Great video, but you didn't address the coaches. Did the players really melt down during the Wild Card game, or was it about bad plays being called?
Everytime the cowgirls lose i sleep so much better at night
Well we got tray lance
The cowboys offensive line has been one of the best units of all time and is largely been responsible for the success of Dak Prescott Ezekiel Elliott Tony pollard and DeMarco Murray.
But they are aging and once that line falls apart Dallas is not going to be the team that they have been for the last decade.
When skill position players suddenly fall off we look at every reason under the Sun except the offensive line the main reason 90% of the time (discounting injuries)
Jerry seems to be the common denominator in repeated playoff losses.
Just so we're clear, the Cowboys had a top 4 offense in the postseason too. They put up the 3rd most points among WC teams. The problem was, their defense let their opponent put up more.
Bro what offense did you see out there cuz I couldn't find em
It is fairly easy to see where the Cowboys went wrong. They should have signed Dak to an extension BEFORE franchising him all those times. It destroyed their Salary Cap situation and affected their draft choices (they kept having to use picks to replace players that they could not re-sign.
The score was 20-0 before Prescott's pick 6. The loss was on the defense.
@@jmcfan11it shouldn’t but it happens all the time, Arod got shut down against San Fran in Greenbay, Lamar got toasted by a titans team ran by Henry.
Absolutely, Dak and CeeDee could turn into Joe Montana and Jerry Rice and Dallas still loses badly.
@@brettbuck7362 Joe Montana was Joe Montana because he didn't lose. Dak will never be Joe Montana.
@@creepycrespi8180 Of course not, but my point was the offense didn't matter, even the best would have lost as long as the defense was so utterly helpless.
It would be one thing if the Cowboys blew leads in their string of playoff disappointments, but if you look at the record they consistently fall behind big early. Idk how with all the talent and hype they manage to come out flat as a board every winter but this Giants fan is not complaining.
Paying Dak anything north of 40 mil / year is a bad deal. He’s a 30 something mil / year talent. The Cowboys really should just let him play out this year to get that cap hit behind them before the younger players cap hits go up and if Dak can get more elsewhere then that’s one team you know you can beat.
Yep, let Dak earn a bigger pay check by playing out his final year. Don't just reward him for no result. Though, Cowboys defense sucks
Parsons lack of effort jumps out on film, on that goal line run by Jones Parsons had a chance to explode on him meeting him before he got to the line, with Parson's speed and agility that looks certainly possible but Parsons chose instead to watch Jones score a TD.
I've never been the first comment before... but when the cowboys choke i'll always be front and center :)
🤣
Bro if cowboys keep dak Prescott. I’m not watching cowboys no more. And I’m. It a fan anymore dak is trash bro. Three straight years he choked. At least that I know of but he always chokes on. Playoffs time trade him asap.
Having belief in the cowboys is the invisible line that separates casuals from people who understand football
No everything is fine, nobody wants this team to do good
I remember you were hyping them up all season😂
Comparing the losses of Dallas and Miami is hard. Nobody will doubt that Dallas’ playoff loss was more egregious than Miami’s. Miami had to play in the cold against one of the best in the AFC with a banged up roster. Dallas was relatively healthy, and hosted the lowest seed, and got blown out
The culture is bad the coaching is non existent in the playoffs and the quarterback is one of the biggest choke artist in big games ever and people sweep it under the rug lol. I love it
