The Dallas Cowboys lost today 27 to 21 to Atlanta in a loss that had me texting you in the first half.
Man.
Is mccarthy gonna get fired today at this point.
The level of stupidity that we constantly see on the field from the Dallas Cowboys is borderline.
Just absolutely insane.
I cannot wrap my head around how bad you have to be as an organization from the top all the way to the bottom from the head coach all the way to the water board.
There has to be a level of just culture that is ingrained in not paying attention to the details.
That is absolutely part of the fabric of who the Dallas Cowboys are right now and that’s the inexcusable part.
It’s about the fact that nobody in that organization from Jerry Jones all the way down to the the bottom of the barrel seems to be paying attention to the details and details, win and lose you football games.
So when you look at why the Cowboys stink, the answer isn’t just because of the sidelines of the owner or the players, it’s all of it together.
And the answer is just in huge all caps letters, culture, the culture of the cowboys stinks if I could get better for the Cowboys.
Look at their upcoming schedule.
It’s rough like this team is not set up.
Like we just talked about lions going on a run opposite.
Sure.
For the Cowboys, they don’t have easy games coming up.
I will point out, you know, all summer, what do we talk about over and over and over?
Everybody underestimates losing a coordinator.
We just don’t pay enough attention when a team loses a good coordinator.
And this Cowboys defense is just falling apart without Dan Quinn.
The important context is how often we’ve said Jerry Jones is patient and how often I’ve said, look, they win 12 games a year for a reason.
Now, I’m actually for the first time looking around saying what would Belichick do because that’s the, the name we always talk about.
Like would, would these sorts of absolute just asinine moments on the field happen repeatedly in a Belichick organization?
The answer is no.
