That's the only logical explanation I have for what I watched today. This one is pretty much all on the coaches. They gave up 41 points but the defense wasn't that bad, IMO. You had the pick 6 on top of 3 possessions that started deep in Cowboys territory due to turnovers and shitty coaching decisions. So I'm not going to give the defense too much grief for this 41 point performance.
I'm getting pretty tired of watching McCarthy and Fassel treat NFL games like a game of Madden......where you do dumb stuff like going for it on 4th and 30; never punt, etc. If they just manage the freaking game like normal level-headed NFL coaches this is a close game that the Cowboys possibly win. I honestly believe McCarthy thinks analytics means doing dumb shit at the worst possible time, in hopes that no one will see it coming. These are clown coaching decisions he's making. Frankly, I'd be perfectly OK if Jerry Jones ran his ass off after one season. I've seen enough to know that McCarthy's not the right man for this job. In sports consistency is what separates great players and coaches from the pack. Anyone who plays a sport can have that one big game.....but the guys who perform well each and every game, those are the great ones. McCarthy's not in that group. He's a coach who does well for a week or two then follows it up with 3 or 4 weeks of crap. We're spinning our wheels with McCarthy.
As for Fassel.....from my understanding in most cases special team coaches have autonomy to run fakes as they see fit. Clearly there needs to be some type of check with me system between Bones Fassel and McCarthy. That fake punt they ran in the 4th qtr was flat out reckless and uncalled for given the situation. You're only trailing by 4; there's about 12:30 to play; it's 4th and 10 from your own 26 yard line.......why? Why are you so damn reckless deep in your own territory with a slow developing crap play call at that?
Unfortunately McCarthy's not much better when it comes to these decisions so a "check with me" system would probably be a moot point anyway with those clowns.
The amount of self-inflicted damage this staff does to their own team is astounding. These are repeat offenses. That's what has me heated. Too stupid to learn from past mistakes.
Strengthened our position for a top 7 pick though, so it wasn't a complete loss. Maybe that was the goal all along. Because these decisions sure did feel like they had a hint of "tank" to them.
