(Mike McCarthy): Nobody saw this coming.
There's problem #1.
(Mike McCarthy): Nobody saw this coming.
The only bright spot is the stress and strain that was showing on PT Barnums face tonight can’t be good for an 81 year old.Don't be so sure his three ring circus, atmosphere of entitlement, over optimism, encouragement of cheese eating, and obliteration of organizational hierarchies doesn't play a significant role in all this.
People turn down the radio to better focus on driving. Jerruh's circus has no volume button.Don't be so sure his three ring circus, atmosphere of entitlement, over optimism, encouragement of cheese eating, and obliteration of organizational hierarchies doesn't play a significant role in all this.
(McCarthy):
The way we've been playing particularly at home.
Jerruh may rescind Jimmuh's ROH.I'm not so sure Jerry is that desperate.
Had this discussion already. Just a misunderstanding. How can Dak be responsible for going down 14-0 when we didn't have the ball first?How so?
Florio has been floating Belichick in Dallas all week, and the fact that he threw out some random minority candidate like Morris makes me think it might have legs. Everybody is tying Belichick to Dallas now but of course Jerry will want there to be a plausible minority candidate floated as being under consideration.
It's way too on the nose to be random speculation.
A great coach, a great leader can overcome that. Get your fucking team prepared for a big game...just once.Don't be so sure his three ring circus, atmosphere of entitlement, over optimism, encouragement of cheese eating, and obliteration of organizational hierarchies doesn't play a significant role in all this.
You were right. That guy wasn’t wrong.How so?
He said 14 points not 7 though.How is Dak the reason Green Bay went up 7-0? We didn't have the ball yet. Green Bay just drove it down the defenses throat. And the same the next drive. And the next. And the next. And the next. It was embarrassing. And Dak stunk, but McCarthy did him no favors.
They barely beat Carolina and lost to Tommy Cutlets and Tampa Bay convincingly. We were favored for a reason.
The defense couldn't stop them the whole game until it was out of reach. Dallas would've had to score every drive to be in it. We didn't have guys running wide open in their secondary like Green Bay did. I our defense, play calling/scheme and Dak in that order. The D let them drive right down their throat on the first drive and then let them score again without a fight with a short field. Then the next 5 drives, too.He said 14 points not 7 though.
True that GB scored 7 before we touched the ball. But, instead of tying the game with a TD drive of his own - which is what a QB of his pay grade should be doing, he was off target (missed a wide open Cooks for what would have been at least a huge gain and maybe a TD), made poor decisions, and threw a pick deep in his own end to set GB up for a second TD and we were Sisyphus the rest of the way which is a very difficult position to be in.
No one is saying the defense wasn't a bigger issue, but Dak played a large role also.
Dak Prescott Press Conference
A: Frustrated. Great word for my play. Just shocked, honestly. From the beginning. We got beat. No sugarcoating. I didn't play well. Shocked.
Q: Why were you not in rhythm
A: Felt great. Maybe my mind was moving faster than my body. Just being prepared. Getting from one read to another a split second too fast. The balls gonna jump a bit. Needed to bring the ball down. By the time I did, too late.
A: Wish I had that answer for you, honestly
Q: Speculation about McCarthy
A: He's been amazing. Don't know how that can be, but I understand the business. Then, specualation should be on me as well. Success has been from him. Super Bowl is standard of league and this place as well. I get it. But add him to the list, add me as well.
A: It's a shock as I said to begin with. Didn't think that this would be it. Credit to the Packers. Will take some time to digest it. Stunned.
Q: Down a couple scores in the 2nd, did you press a bit?
A: Umm.....gotta go look at the film, honestly. Seeing their success on offense, it's natural a bit. With the pick six before half, great play to him. I gotta read it better. At that point, that's what made it a little too far. Nobody ever lost confidence on the offense. You can say we were pressing, but only chance we hd was take it play-by-play and our guys kept fighting.
Ha, no shit.The fact that everyone on the team including McCarthy is so shocked by this tells me they didn't take their opponent seriously enough.
Also, is he seriously trying to say he was TOO prepared?
Is he stupid? There's no such thing.
If he's saying they were under prepared, that's inexcusable.
