CD Newsletter Playoff Edition Week 1

Damn da boys are really jittery on defense... solid drive Packers, they took 8 minute of the clock.

It took 46 quarters, but Micah Parsons finally draws a holding penalty.

Of course it was declined

So these are the games where fans want Prescott and Mccarthy's head on a stake?

Ok, wasn't that PI and the INT shouldn't have stand?

Holy crap...

Unreal how much time Love has in the pocket, the pass rush is nonexistent for Dallas 

Cowboys roster is significantly better than the Packers, which leads me to my next thought ...

Unless something miraculous happens, we should be watching McCarthy's last 2 quarters as the HC for Dallas

Has a head coach ever been fired at halftime 

Maybe we are watching Daks last 2 quarters as the QB for Dallas

Supposedly Ron Rivera was in week 11. 

How does Dak survive this though? He should go with McCarthy...

Time to go snowblow the driveway.

Lets go Rams!!!

Cowboys HAVE to go for 2 here

2H  Lines

Cowboys -10.5  ,   O/U 27

I'm not touching it 

Out played.

Out worked.

Out coached.

On to the next game

Who knows where this goes, but the fish rots from the head down. The Cowboys played tighter than I've seen a team. From the start, both the coach and the QB looked like they were afraid to lose. And when Love started playing the first half like Phil Simms in Super Bowl XXl, Dallas looked scared and lost. Credit Love and GB, and I agree the Cowboys have the better roster, but no accounting for poise and heart. I also think Dak is making some really crazy throws into heavy coverage and getting away with it. Those may be Int's's in the 2nd half. Jerry Jones spent the half on the phone with Belichick, which would just be the latest in stupid coach selections ( Garrett, McCarthy ).

 But most importantly: out of the playoffs...

Dismal performance, to put it mildly.

I once watched Parcells play the entire second half coaching New England in a two minute offense. I don’t remember the outcome, but they played with heart and determination. McCarthy should be valuing every last second of his season by playing like that. Okay, they probably lose, but maybe they get back a little respect.

At least I won 1 bet

As a fan, I would like to see Vrabel or Harbaugh

On this drive they rushed 4, 2 times in a row and still got to Dak, on 4th & 5 they went all blitz and he overthrew everybody.

Jones just torched them, all day long.

 McC will lose his job right or wrong but this loss falls squarely on the shoulders of the players imo. It's not like they are implementing anything vastly new on offense or defense. I swear it looked early on like Dallas just did not feel like playing, i just did not see the energy from the start. I mean you see these type games in the reg season but not nearly so much in the playoffs. I had the Pack and thought they could win or cover but i doubt there is a living soul who saw this coming.

So Dan Quinn is the guy up for a coaching gig?

Hopefully he doesn't call the defense if so.

I honestly don't know what to think after watching this. Is it the combination of the Cowboys coming out flat, and the Packers at a major hot point at the right time?

@Hugh_Jorgan

 won wager was at + $ to boot!!

@undermysac

 I dunno if the Packers were that great, but the Cowboys were atrocious, on both sides of the ball, so when you play that bad, can you properly gauge how good the other team played?

We saw missed tackles, blown coverages on defense, while on offense Dak's OL couldn't protect him for shit, even when the Packers rushed just 4, they constantly brought pressure, which in turn made him throw the ball erratically, even in triple coverage, he got away with some, but not with all of them, pick 6 and another INT that eventually ended in a TD.
