The Cowboys blow it again, and it's time for Bill Belichick in Dallas

[calguy]

There’s no great way to explain why the Cowboys collapse like this other than look at the one congruent factor: Coaching. It’s understandable why Dallas chose McCarthy to lead them after Garrett, because the man has a Super Bowl ring — but this failed to explain why the Packers routinely underperformed under McCarthy in the playoffs.

This was an organization that had Aaron Rodgers at his peak, with weapons for days. From 2011-2016 the Packers lost early in the playoffs six times in a row, often to teams who weren’t favored to beat them. This was a team that finished with 10+ wins NINE of the 10 times they went to the playoffs. They rarely backed their way in, but McCarthy’s career playoff record in Green Bay is a paltry 10-8, padded dramatically by their 4-0 Super Bowl run in 2010. Outside of that they lost more than they won, collapsed more often than not, let down the fans when promise abounded.

Winning in the playoffs is supremely difficult. A great many coaches have suffered the same curse of dominating the regular season and turning back into a pumpkin when everything is on the line. Except for one man ...

1. I think there's another way to explain it.

Jer-ah!

5. You nailed the problem,

Dallas has the players and even has the coaches but they play looking over their shoulders at Jer-ah.

2. I didn't think I could dislike the Cowboys more

but hiring Belichick would do it.

3. Belichick will get the Dallas job if, and only if...

…he promises to bring Tom Brady with him. It’s the only way belichick won games.

4. Belichik got rid of Bernie Kosar when he coached in Cleveland

Dak always chokes in the big games, so it wouldn't surprise me if Belichik gets rid of Dak if he ends up in Dallas. He'll have Trey Lance in the QB room. I wonder how that would work out? Probably the same as Trey worked out in SF.

6. What happens when Jer-ah

starts over-ruling Belichick?

7. I can't see him hiring Belichick. He would get more attention than Jer-ah.

That is the gravest of all possible sins in Dallas. Nor can I see Belichick walking into that buzzsaw.

8. Increased precipitation across the nation...
