In the last 10 years this is the first time the Dallas Cowboys have

started a season with a 1 - 3 record

McCarthy was talking how great the team was. Is it the talent or the coaching?

NFL fans had lots of jokes about Mike McCarthy and Jason Garrett after the Cowboys' bad loss​

Lots of people are laughing at Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys played another awful game on Sunday and while they almost came all the way back from another double-digit deficit, they ultimately fell short, losing to the Browns 49-38 at home.

The loss drops the Cowboys to 1-3 on the season, though they are still somehow in a tie for first place in the dreadful NFC East. They’re also one dumb play by the Falcons away from being 0-4, too.

But here’s the thing with that start – the Cowboys never started 1-3 under former coach Jason Garrett, who was fired after last season.

Jerry Jones and Co. hoped new coach Mike McCarthy would come in and change things around and turn Dallas into a force. Fans thought all the disappointing seasons were due to Garrett’s bad coaching. Things were gonna change in Big D now that Garrett was out of town!

But now it just looks like the Cowboys aren’t a great team and McCarthy is quickly in a lot of trouble in Dallas.

Maybe this was Jerry's plan. Get the fans calling for Garrett's return

The McCarthy hire was a weird one for sure

Cowboys had real personnel problems on defense. We'll see how they do against softer competition, but holy shit that defense has been unplayable through the first quarter of the season.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

That defense is amazingly awful. Especially the secondary. 5 fumbles lost ant 3 ints ain't helping either.

I guess they thought Rodgers was the real problem in GB?

Though according to this: 2020 NFL Post Season Probabilities

They still have a 37% chance of making the playoffs, and 10% better than the Niners at 2-2. Thank you NFCE.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Pretty banged up team IIRC. The O-line is a mess because of injuries. The defense is missing some key pieces as well.

But that isn’t the biggest issue. Lots of critical mistakes being made in games by both coaches & players. That falls on McCarthy.

Not all is lost though. The NFCE is a shitshow.

 

[RememberTheKoy]

They will win the division, their has enough easy games the rest of the way to get to 7 or 8 wins.

 

[Iggloo]

When you know you can go for the tie against the Bengals and still win your division because Dallas sucks more

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Lol watch Wentz run away with this division...

 

[Clayton]

31st in time of possession, bottom of the league in turnover margin. They should be 0-4.

What evs. Total troll thread but a bit funny tbh. Boys are overrated year after year by the media and fans. Public loves the star and Jerry world. JJ is the King of Marketing and Spin. Truth is, Boys have had the talent to win more than lose most years. If they don’t take this sissy division, that’s on them.

This is what a last place defense looks like

This is what a last place defense looks like

Last place more like MCMurray university defense
That’s a division 3 team in Texas

A lot if teams get over hyped every year. This year we over hyped the Dallas D off of camp news without actually seeing it in action.
The reports on the D in camp, i was really concerned about the OL. Now in game action the OL isnt horrible but its not good either. I'll say its a little below average. But the D in it's entirety is a complete mess.
If the D lived up to even close to what was being reported the Cowboys are undefeated.

Jerry Jones needed help on defense but decided to draft a WR instead. Another dumb decision by him.

Lamb was to good to pass on and early returns show it was 100% the right decision. Cooper may be gone after 2021

I lay the blame on @Manster7588 He ended up bringing Beasley and Witten to Vegas to be close. But seriously what happened to that D, injuries?

You give up 24 in any quarter, not a good result usually
