If Sean Payton could have borrowed a philosophical line from Aaron Rodgers this week, it might have been that whole “my future is a beautiful mystery” thing. That’s the wide-open, anything-is-possible attitude Payton was selling when he stepped down from his head-coaching duties with the New Orleans Saints this week. His coaching future? Who knows. Television? That sure sounds great. Orbiting the world of football? Absolutely — but with no solid plans for anything at the moment. It’s… Source link

The Dallas Cowboys season ended with a whimper this past Wild Card weekend, as they fell 23-17 in a game that didn’t feel that close. The failed quarterback-run-then-spike with time running out was a microcosm of a season that began with incredibly lofty expectations. The Cowboys had some bright spots along with some disappointments in fantasy as well. Hyped second-year receiver CeeDee Lamb ended as the WR18. Amari Cooper finished as WR27. Dak Prescott had a great QB7 finish, though many… Source link

Three days later, Mike McCarthy is standing by the ill-fated final play that saw the clock run out on the Dallas Cowboys‘ season. In his first public comments since his postgame news conference on Sunday, McCarthy discussed with reporters that final play from Sunday’s playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He also addressed speculation about his job status. While he says he would run the play again, he’d like to see something change on Dak Prescott‘s execution — and it doesn’t involve… Source link

NFL wild-card weekend came and went and swept away six teams in the first season with an expanded playoff. Most lost to superior clubs, while others made their own crippling mistakes or were perhaps the victim of bad officiating.  Now, these six teams head into the offseason looking for answers about why their postseason ended with a first-round exit. Some solutions will be easier to solve, while others may have a hard time returning to the postseason after the NFL’s first 18-week season…. Source link

In the stew of disappointment following the Dallas Cowboys‘ first-round playoff loss, it wasn’t hard to catch the subtle message of change weaved into the words of team owner Jerry Jones. Postseason flop aside, Jones and his son Stephen have been staring at reality for far longer. Something with ramifications for 2022 and beyond. The Cowboys have solid talent heading for free agency, and not nearly enough salary cap space to put up much of a fight for it. They’re also bracing to lose one… Source link

If there’s a word that can sum up the Dallas Cowboys‘ 2021 season it’s this: discipline. As in, a lack thereof.  The Cowboys watched their season crater in Sunday’s NFC wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers, and it happened in perhaps what should have been predictable fashion. Sure, the end-of-game execution on Dak Prescott‘s failed QB sneak and spike was big. But there’s no way we can overlook the impact of the huge holding call in the first quarter (see below) or the delay of game… Source link

Five of the six Wild Card games are in the books, and they certainly did not finish without controversy. Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab recap the five weekend games from 2022’s Wild Card slate, opening with the Dallas Cowboys‘ 23-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Were the referees really at fault for the timing of the final play? Should Mike McCarthy lose his job for this playoff collapse? Can the SF run game be Green Bay’s achilles heel in the second round? Charles & Frank discuss it… Source link

Welp, that sure didn’t take long. After a season of magnificence, head coach Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys were supposed to be beyond this kind of thing, this flat playoff performance, rife with mistakes and poor decisions at the worst possible times. This Dallas team? It wasn’t supposed to lose at home to the sixth-seeded San Francisco 49ers, a club that came into the game with a starting quarterback they’re continually working to jettison. Anything contrary was supposed to be… Source link

Dallas Cowboys fans were seething Sunday.  Apparently, so was Dak Prescott. After a chaotic NFC wild-card playoff game ended in disappointment for Cowboys fans, some of them rained down debris on the field as officials ran to the exit tunnel. From video shared by a fan in the stands, it looked like the items in play were mostly drinks and empty cups. One of them hit Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence as he approached the same tunnel. Cowboys fell short after frantic finish The video was… Source link

On Dec. 26, in a prime-time game, the Dallas Cowboys beat Washington by 42 points. While the hype after that game was out of control, it was justified. The Cowboys looked Super Bowl-worthy.  A few weeks later, that same team went one-and-done in the playoffs.   The Cowboys are on an improbable streak. They haven’t played in a conference championship game since the end of the 1995 season. This failure will linger for a long time. It’s a team that had the offensive and defensive stars to make… Source link
