This might be the first time I have ever seen a 3-7 team be overmatched against another one.

I know this may be way out there, but maybe, just maybe, McCarthy knows there is nothing to lose this season, so he is just going for it in hopes that he might sneak out a few wins, but knowing he probably won't. And, if he loses out, he knows that he will be in a good position for the draft. Maybe he's just thinking more long term like Jimmy going 1-15 his first season to draft high.
I know, probably not, but it's the last thread of hope I have to hang onto with this shit ass season.

I would say their defensive front 7 vs our Oline is the textbook definition of overmatched.They weren't overmatched
Yes but the score was 20-16 at the start of the 4th quarter, not exactly the time to run a fake punt from inside your own 30, especially when our defense was just starting to heat up. The defense had just gotten a pick and a 3 and out on back to back drives with the pass rush really starting to turn it up on Smith, you gotta let them try to keep that up and not just gift the opponent the ball just outside the red zone.I would say their defensive front 7 vs our Oline is the textbook definition of overmatched.
You never know with Jones.If we miss the playoffs next year he's gone, that's the value in not having an adopted son of Jerry's at HC.
Gailey also made the playoffs both years he was here, no?You never know with Jones.
He has stated that he regretted dumping Chan Gailey so soon.
That performance from the coaching staff was one of the worst I've seen and it is really discouraging after believing that the staff was starting to settle down and show us that they indeed possessed the quality we had hoped and expected from them.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.
Fish rots at the head, my good man. We all know that nothing will truly change until that Joan Rivers lookalike is 6 feet in the dirt.That performance from the coaching staff was one of the worst I've seen and it is really discouraging after believing that the staff was starting to settle down and show us that they indeed possessed the quality we had hoped and expected from them.
After seeing what happened on Thursday, the last few games are starting to feel more flukey and I'm not as convinced that the staff turned a corner as I had hoped.
I'm right back to where I was 6 weeks ago where I'm having serious doubts in both McCarthy and his staff.
What happened Thursday should not have happened -- not after seeing the same shit crash and burn multiple times in the first 6 games or so of the season.
Maybe these guys just aren't the answer.
