I thought I heard a few weeks back if we finish tied in the conference that we win SOS. Heard today even if the Eagles lose tonight we are still out on the tie breakers…for now…
Actually if Dallas loses to Miami, wins against Detroit and Washington and Philly losses one more game Dallas wins the East.
Yes, gives us conference tiebreaker If the Philly loss is AZ and division tiebreaker if it’s Giants. After watching the Eagles I don’t know if it’s a slam dunk they can win 3 in a row, BUT, it is 3 pretty easy games
I ran the scenarios through the playoff machine, with Chargers and Detroit winning (Dallas non common opponents and Minnesota and KC losing (Philly non common opponents). Philly takes the division per the app.
OK. i re-did the playoff machine and included TB and Carolina. If Dallas and Philly wins out while all of Dallas non common opponents win outb and Eagles non common lose Dallas gets the East.
A good coach game plans around the weaknesses of your team.
I don't agree with blaming the coach here at all. When the Niners had a couple of key injuries, they lost 3 straight. With the salary cap, no team is like the 90s Cowboys with starting caliber players on the bench. You can't game plan for subs getting blown off the ball
Boy oh boy. Loss like that is on the coaches. It wasn't a close game. We got blown out everywhere.
Coaches didn't commit dumbass penalties or vet blown off the ball. Only thing you can blame on McCarthy is the no challenge call. But it was 31-10
Coaches are to blame for penalties. Good coaches don't have tons of penalties. The amount we have this season is on the coaches.
while I get what you are saying. I wouldnt absolve coaches for dumb penalties. The players are professionals & earn their part of the blame as well.
So a guy can win 12 games a year here for 3 straight years, have a great record in Green Bay and a Super Bowl win ans he isn't a "good" coach? McCarthy may have some issues with clock management from time to time, but he is still a Hell of a coach. And his DC is gonna be a great DC as well. It's on the players to stop the dumb shit
It is on the coaches as well. You think Jimmy would tolerate these stupid penalties?? There needs to be consequences for stupid stuff over and over. How you run your team shows up on game day. Quinn's defense is horrible against the run and slow to make adjustments. Where are the blitzing on that last drive? By no means, am I saying fire the coached, but they bare responsibility for the product on the field.
Jimmy was a great coach, but he wouldn't do shit. Jimmy coached when there was no salary cap and we had starting caliber players on our bench. This team has scrubs out there due to injury. If Tony Casillas or Russell Maryland got hurt, he just puts in Leon Left or Chad Hennings. Give me a break. We have Mazi Smith starting. Jimmy never cut anyone that wasn't a scrub. I don't think cutting Nahshon Wright is gonna scare anyone straight.
I don’t. Know about Mike M. Some would say he did less with more. He coached one of the greatest quarterbacks of his generation in his prime and only won one Superbowl. Packers won as many games without him as head coach. What I have seen in Dallas in the last four years is a Team that has led the league in penalties over that period of time. Players turn over. Yes players are too blame but you can’t absolve the head coach. The team makes dumb decisions (see Turpin at times along with our oline and roughing penalties). Dak has gotten better this year with the ball but the running game is struggling and the team struggles against good teams.
