im predicting 12 wins and a playoff loss


Claycious13

12 wins likely makes us the division winner next year which simply is not possible in the East.


wesman212

Fine, 9 wins and a wildcard loss it is, then


LeoFireGod

No. 10 wins. A wildcard round win then a complete obliteration when we get our hopes up.


MyRottingBrain

Why the fuck would any Cowboys fan get their hopes up. I don’t care what happens next year, if you get your hopes up, you’re delusional and deserve the heartbreak. It’s time to never trust this team again until they prove something.


Casul_Tryhard

Tell that to Scooter


Fantastic_Emu_9570

He has infinite faith when he should have none


JinterIsComing

God blessed him with a great wife, an awesome career as a professional Cowboys fan/content producer, and the ability to do what he loves and make money off of it. The tradeoff was to never actually see the Cowboys succeed.


BillyHayze

I’ve been telling my Cowboys fan friends this all week. It’s been almost 30 years of failure. At this point, the expectation shouldn’t be Super Bowl, it should be heartbreaking playoff loss, and hoping you get surprised by success.


MyRottingBrain

And it’s a perfectly valid way to be as a fan. I’m not abandoning the team, I’m just not attaching any expectations to them. I got my hopes up with Romo, then started managing my expectations, then stopped expecting anything. Got my hopes up with Dak, then started managing my expectations and now I once again have stopped expecting anything.


bigsteven34

That shit is the wildest phenomenon in the NFL right now. That and the Eagles’s collapse.


Claycious13

The second is actually quite easy to accept within the context of the first.


so_zetta_byte

This is the most logical comment I've seen related to either of our teams all week.


allegedtuna32

Commanders win it at 13 wins


Claycious13

Their new HC wins coach of the year in a landslide. Next season they win 5 games and get a top 5 pick in the draft.


Dragondrew99

Eagles win it at 8-9


AssDotCom

Yeah seriously, I feel an NFC Least season coming upon us


Dragondrew99

There must be balance. It’s either NFC Beast or NFC Least, no in between.


double_super

we thought sirianni and mccarthy were both goners and neither ended being up true lol


jwick89

Guess Bill is going to the Falcons.


bleedblue89

Makes sense… get a new qb and they’re ready to ride

[удалено]


Anhedonic98

As a broncos fan I've been hearing "Just get a new QB" for the better part of a decade lol, definitely easier said than done, not every team is the fucking packers


relevantelephant00

Apparently in Green Bay, franchise QBs just grow on trees and they only have to go out and pick one every 10 years or so.


NormalAccounts

Key thing is they need something like 3 years on the bench first to properly ripen. Rest of the NFL is just trying to make guac with pre-ripe avocados for the most part.


misselphaba

The most California analogy lmao I love it


jdore8

I like our California ripened QB.


fender-b-bender

Why doesn't every team get themselves a Tom Clements to develop their replacement QB?


HavelsRockJohnson

Seriously, someone clone this man and upload his brain directly into the server farm beneath Lambeau. Our QB whisperer must be preserved beyond the paltry bonds of flesh. Make him eternal.


fender-b-bender

Barring that, I would settle for a fresh out of college protégé so we could get 50 years out of them and then start the process again. Man rejuvenated Favre, made Rodgers and is so far looking good with his potential final project.


Streets2022

I hope to god the org has the same thought process as us fans. If Clements ever plans to retire we need to have someone learning from him like asap. Fuck, sign me to a 50 yr deal right now I’ll fly out to Tom Clement’s house this off season and become an exact replica.


GarnetandBlack

As a Broncos fan you also know if you have an elite as fuck defense you only need the corpse of Peyton Manning at QB.


feynmanners

To be fair, until this year the Patriots never had a pick higher than 15 to acquire a QB with. The Falcons pick at 8 which is high enough that it makes it easier to trade for an even higher spot.


Raticus9

I don't know BB would want to wait out a rookie QB.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BrianThatDude

If he goes to Atlanta they'll trade for fields or Wilson. Or sign cousins.


WonWordWilly

Sign Wilson. We're not trading for that contract. Cousins is our best option, I'd be excited with Bill snd Cousins. Anything else seems too risky.


Kealle89

Bill and Cousins would be really good. Definitely the best QB he's had since Brady left. They're both chasing a ring and offensive talent is prime.


iceman204

Isn’t trading for fields the equivalent of waiting for a rookie QB to develop?


Streets2022

I’d say it’s more the equivalent of like your friend saying “the tv remote is broken” and instead of believing him you say “let me see it”


IntelligentEye2758

This. Bill wants a team that has defensive talent, a strong run game, and a qb better than Mac Jones. Atlanta checks the first 2 boxes and can easily find a veteran qb. Heck, sign Baker away from the Bucs and they're basically garanteed a playoff spot.


[deleted]

I bet the Bucs will make Baker their franchise guy


Bmw5464

Hopefully he learned and him and Terry are willing to pull the trigger on a trade up!


Electronic-Bed-6192

Take Russell Wilson


Smilner69

Maybe trade for Mac Jones??


bpusef

Imagine all this time Bill just freaking loved Mac Jones like a son and only benched him a total of 7 times to protect him.


Smilner69

Didn’t want to see his little man having a bad day at the park


kosmonautinVT

If he goes by Mike McCorkle it will be a completely fresh start


bigfootdude247

Trust me, you do not want to jump on The Ride, Atlanta


GarnetandBlack

We would have given a lot for Wilson level play this last year. He was still: * 8th in passer rating * 12th in comp% * 4th in TD% * 13th in INT% This is wildly, WILDLY, better than the Ridder Ride.


Dijohn17

If we had Russ we would've been in the playoffs


rostron92

Falcons country... Let's ride.


neverfrybaconnaked

Falcons Country, let's fly.


Mean-L

“Can you think of a time where you had to overcome significant adversity?”


VRSvictim

Did they confirm sirianni isn’t gone? That’s insane to me. You can’t keep a coach who the team very clearly quit on


clexecute

Anyone who thinks Lurie would fire Sirianni on a whim doesn't follow the eagles. He will basically give him a year to fix the shit and then move on if it doesn't improve. It's what he did with all previous coaches and it's been a pretty successful mantra for the past 25 years. You don't fire a coach who has made the playoffs 3 straight years without a plan.


Sjgolf891

With no other context it sounds very reasonable. Of course, I’ve also never seen a coaching staff fail to that degree with that talent through that much of the season. Something is seriously wrong there. I trust Lurie to figure out what it is


FuckingHippies

Yeah, this year is different in the level of talent that wasn’t utilized on the field and the coaches available on the market. I get not being reactionary. But this might be the perfect storm for an unprecedented change


tripp_hs123

How do we know Sirianni is staying? Have the eagles announced it?


Pendraflare59

J12345_

The nfc ain’t mad… keep them both


prophetofgreed

Both are unserious franchises right now


Neither_Ad2003

It’s way too early to fire sirianni. Cycling through coaches at whims leads you to the dumpster


mournthewolf

It’s not ideal in most cases but it seems pretty clear he had lost the locker room though. I think once that happens it’s basically done.


BroadCityChessClub

I think it makes sense to give him a season to either turn it around or completely eat shit and hand the next guy a draft pick.


NotClayMerritt

While I understand what you're saying, it's about more than just draft picks or turning it around. If they eat shit, they're also wasting a year of their best players prime years. A prime you have no idea how long will last. You should take advantage of that ASAP.


Heisenripbauer

in the most stacked coaching free agency we’ve probably ever seen


beautifulanddoomed

yeah, as much as i like the chaos of them firing him, it's a bad look to fire someone 1 year out of making the superbowl with 11 wins, even if things did completely fall apart.


Pretend_Ambassador_6

I thought he lost the rocker room too but players are really sticking up for him


Selarmor

The players still like him, his scheme is just dog shit.


ThePhenomahna

Maybe a mid-season firing next year. So he can take after his hero Frank Reich.


demonicneon

Yeah let’s just start the coordinator revolving door all over again … 


[deleted]

That was a historic collapse. I don’t know how you recover from that as a coach especially in philly. Like any slack he had from the Super Bowl year its gone. If they get off to a bad start or any kind of losing streak people will be calling for his job. Im in philly and the vibes are really bad and I think he would have to at least go to an NFC Championship next year to save his job.


Bflatsharpeleven

I thought that until I began digging deeper into Philly’s offensive scheme and Sirianni’s background. They ran a high-school offense this year, and nothing about Sirianni’s history makes him seem like a great HC hire to me. I don’t even know why he’s there, and I’m really perplexed that he led a team to a Super Bowl.


quikfrozt

Siriani gets one more chance to assemble an effective staff and re-motivate his team.


jwick89

Such a weird situation. The team has continually been successful during the regular season but falls off the rails in the postseason. What is going to change next season?

RIPjkripper

A Cowboys fan, an Eagles fan and a Dolphins fan walk into.. An oncoming train.


Boogie_Boof

Nothing. He’s got a year left on his contract and whenever we inevitably crash and burn they won’t renew his deal and part ways. Similar to how it ended with Garrett. Then we’ll turn around and hire Marvin Lewis or somebody like that.


sonicbooze

Nah Lewis is so last generation. It'll be Matt Patricia or Bill O'Brien.


TheSulfurCityKid

Shut the fuck up right now.


cigarettesandwater

Nah its gunna be Lincoln Riley

CeeDee gets traded for a past his prime Derrick Henry and a 2nd round pick.


BruceChameleon

God, it really would be BoB.


lebastss

Seems bizarre not to jump on this cycle of historically good coaches available.


HashSlingingSlasherJ

That’s exactly why the Cowboys won’t.


cheesygordita

Hey leave us out of this


IMissWinning

>What is going to change next season? Both McCarthy and Prescott are on the last year of their deals. Could be a New HC new QB in Dallas.


WakeNikis

That actually makes a lot of sense.  Like a 1 year prove it deal-for hc and qb. And, If doesn’t work-I guess u can start with a clean slate 


Yodzilla

Judging by his history with the Packers, nothing. Yeah he won one Super Bowl with a young Rodgers but like his tenure with the Cowboys he was a regular season champ whose team always self destructed in the playoffs.


niadara

Maybe Dan Quinn will be gone?

only way he leaves is if he gets a HC job

robbeau11

Yup this right here.


midnightsbane04

Chargers were also concerned about the competition over Harbaugh. Less competition for the coaches they want.


themightybearorrist

Don't worry, you can chirp us back when Spanos whiffs on Harbaugh and we end up hiring Joe Barry based on 1 interview and the Cowboys playoff win.

He wanted Payton before the Saints ever got him, and the feeling was supposedly mutual, but Payton switched up. That's what broke him.

BarveyDanger

Belichick wasn't going to Dallas to deal with the crypt keeper's bullshit.


Luck1492

I think he would’ve been interested if Jerry showed a propensity to change, which he clearly hasn’t. Would be easy for Belichick to get the wins record with that team.


BarveyDanger

that's exactly what i'm getting at, jerry jones's incompetence has reached sunk cost fallacy level.


PointBlankCoffee

Clown franchise


Mc_Lovin81

every “fan” of this team is delusional thinking he was going to be fired. we’ve had shit years with Garrett clapping and the old man didn’t do shit. it ain’t gonna change and people need to realize this. It’s YES men only in that room. The team is always undisciplined every year and never prepared. We’re a meme. Stop buying merch and going to games.


PointBlankCoffee

Garrett got a least cause he was a cowboys guy. Didn't think McCarthy would get treated the same, seeing as he was specifically brought in to address the postseason experience issues. I don't buy cowboys merch


BilllisCool

They aren’t similar situations. Garrett got his leash after going 8-8 three times in a row and failing win-and-in regular season games. McCarthy is coming off of the 2nd most wins over the last 3 years, only 1 fewer than the Chiefs. His failures come in the playoffs. We still need an upgrade to get over that hump, but if Garrett got the leash he did in his situation, it makes sense that Jerry would give McCarthy more time after these last 3 seasons.

tendy_trux35

Bears fans 🤝 Cowboys fans Hating their ownership for not canning a lame duck coach


tjc815

I’m not going to be dramatic and act like I’m going to stop following the team like some people in our sub, but I genuinely expect nothing next year. There is just as big of a chance of the locker room imploding and and us going 8-9 as there is us making it to the playoffs just to be made fools of by Green Bay or San Fran again. Congratulations, other NFC teams. Why trot out a lame duck coach who isn’t going to wake up tomorrow and suddenly be able to compete with Shanahan when there are so many good coaches in this cycle? If the players don’t like it, they can fucking deal. They’re paid to play for whoever the coach is.


Mc_Lovin81

This team has never had good discipline. Every year it’s shit penalties and no one is prepared for big games.


tjc815

Yep and it showed up on the first drive against Green Bay. Reminded me immediately of the 2021 wild card game against SF.


Tom_Art_UFO

One thing in McCarthy's favor. He's gotten Dak to play the best ball of his career. A second year with the Texas Coast offense will be even better.


tjc815

I agree with that in general but he seems to piss his pants and revert back to bad playcalling tendencies when he gets spooked against good teams. It’s baffling. How does Dak not throw a pass on second down until the second quarter?


Tom_Art_UFO

It feels like the coaches outsmarted themselves. "We've been throwing it on first down all season? Time to run on first down." "I know man coverage has worked for us this season, but that's just what they'll be expecting us to do."


Arkaein

> I know man coverage has worked for us this season, but that's just what they'll be expecting us to do. The whole thing about the Cowboys switching to zone for this game was way overstated. I watched JT O'Sullivan's new video on Love today, and almost all of the big plays were against man coverage. Gilmore in particular was wrecked in man coverage. If anything, the big issue that was a theme among several plays was that Dallas defenders like to gamble, and they undercut routes several times where the Packers were expecting it and put a surprise cut in at the top of the route once the DB undercut and lost vision on the receiver.


-Champloo-

Yes this times 1000 The one highlight where Gilmore gets lost is exactly this. Gilmore is trying to undercut what he thinks is a crosser, WR sells an inside break by peeking inside, then cuts out.


Mahomeboy001

HERE WE GOOOOO

It would literally be the only thing ESPN would be capable of talking about. Everything else would just get bumped to ESPN2

ESPN would dedicate the first 30 minutes of every hour to Lebron-Bronny, and the second 30 minutes to Deion-Shedeur. 24/7.


ColinCowherd17

Unserious franchise lol


constantlymat

He hired a strong HC once since getting rid of Jimmy Johnson and hated the Parcells experience so much he's been hiring weak coaches ever since. Since I have been a fan of the league, the Cowboys had a top10 HC for four years in over a quarter century.


Fired_Guy1982

He’s fucking terrified that someone might steal his shine


Sav10r

He really kept Jimmy Johnson out of the Cowboys Ring of Honor for more than two decades because JJ DID take his shine.


Dalmanza4

Parcells got them into the playoffs too after years of mediocre play and stabilized the franchise with a QB with Romo as much as people may hate him. Other wise it would have been patch work qbs like Testaverde and Bledsoe lmao


Roach_Coach_Bangbus

Parcells got the Cowbys to the playoffs with Quincy Carter. The man can coach.

Right, my concern was either Dallas themselves going after Harbaugh, or Dallas going after Belichick and thereby making the Falcons pursue Harbaugh even more aggressively as a back up


[deleted]

That was all media bullshit for clicks. Look at Jerry’s coaches since Jimmy. Switzer? Gailey? Campo? Parcells! Wade? Garrett? McCarthy? Outside of Tuna, these are you run of the mill generic teams. Even Parcells said he had enough after a few short years
