It’s a sad day it’s a bad day. I’m barely 24 hours removed from the glorious RRR victory and I’m already sad again. The NFL purposely put us on Sunday Night Football against the 49ers who clearly have our number after the last 2 playoff losses. At least those games were competitive, tonight the 49ers mutilated our bodies and threw us in a dirty San Francisco dumpster. I have lots of emotionally charged opinions about fat coaches I’d like to unleash upon the world tonight.
It was obvious from the first posessions by both teams that we had a major coaching mismatch tonight. San Fran went right down the field and scored 7, only for our electric offense to quickly go 3 and out. The play design, the play calling, and the talent were all noticeably better for the Niners. All night long Brock Purdy sat in a clean pocket and threw downfield to wide open WRs. Dallas barely worked anything beyond the line of scrimmage except for a few desperation heaves.
It sucks to think about but I’m guessing Dallas has hit it’s ceiling with Mike McCarthy as head coach. He’s an awful playcaller and our offense has been pretty rough all season, it’s just been hidden by the blowouts. Everything we run is so shallow and conservative, he really just calls the game like a big fat pussy. Anything can happen in the playoffs, but we won’t get past SF if we run into them again. I wasn’t necessarily against getting rid of Kellen Moore this offseason, but it’s pretty fucking dumb to just replace him with someone worse. I don’t even know what Brian Schottenheimer contributes to the offense but this “Texas Coast” bullshit they’ve been feeding us is trash. We barely even use our WRs- I don’t know why we traded for Brandin Cooks just to never throw it to him. Ceedee Lamb should get 10+ targets a game but our TEs and RBs must give McCarthy the best head of all time. We love preaching “balance” which really just means running the ball on 1st and 2nd down for no gain. We set ourselves up with so many 3rd and longs there’s just no way we’ll be able to sustain drives or score touchdowns consistently this year. So fucking frustrating to watch.
The defense isn’t off the hook either right now- they were God awful tonight. The 49ers treated us like a Vegas hooker, just did whatever they wanted. Micah Parsons was MIA- I have no idea why we lined him up against Trent Williams all night when that’s not even his normal side. I don’t care about some pissing contest for Best vs. Best- line his ass up against a scrub so we can make Brock Purdy sweat just ONCE. He might as well have been playing catch with his kids tonight, I don’t think his jersey touched grass one fucking time. There hasn’t been a reliable Cowboys D in my lifetime and I’m still not convinced this time around will be any different. It also doesn’t help that our players keep dropping like flies. Leighton Vander Esch, Daron Bland, and Dono Wilson all left the game tonight with injuries to just add to the Trevon Diggs pain. It will never end 😦
If this season ends in disaster and sadness yet again I won’t stand for anything less than Mike McCarthy being fired. It’s not even fun to dunk on him anymore, everything he does is so cowardly and pathetic. Watching the juxtaposition between him and Shanahan tonight just makes me even more sad. It’s pretty wild watching one coach who is completely neutered and fat and the other with an actuall nutsack (and not fat). Maybe one day Jerry will decide to hire a coach who isn’t living in 2008. We’re watching him do the same shit that got his ass fired in Green Bay. If he couldn’t get it done with a prime Aaron Rodgers then Dak pretty much has no shot.
That’s about all the hate I have for tonight. Our schedule isn’t getting any easier, I guess we’ll see what happens next. I’ll be riding with my dawgs no matter what (except you McCarthy).
