Entering the playoffs, many had the feeling that Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy was coaching for his job.
That may be harsh to say, but despite consistent regular season success, McCarthy’s postseason failures were becoming impossible to ignore.
Having said that, no one, not even the most delusional Packer fan (truly) thought Green Bay had a realistic chance to knock off the Boys.
But as they say, that’s why they play the games – and sure enough, the Cowboys crapped the bed ONCE AGAIN and eliminated themselves from the playoffs.

It’s unfair to put all the blame on McCarthy. The entire team was off. It was an inexplicable performance in every single way imaginable.
(That takes nothing away from the brilliant performance of Matt LaFleur, Jordan Love, Aaron Jones and the entire Packers team.)

Not that he needed one, but owner Jerry Jones now has the perfect excuse to fire McCarthy. What happened yesterday was unacceptable and it took Dallas’ underperformance trend to a whole new low.
Heads need to roll. Simple as that.
What was wrong with Dak Prescott? … How could he possibly be THAT off?
What was with the extremely strange body language of CeeDee Lamb? … It honestly looked like he had zero interest in playing football yesterday.
Where was Micah Parsons?
How could the feared Cowboys defense allow the Packers to humiliate them like that?
The Packers now have more playoff wins at AT&T Stadium (3) than the Cowboys do (2).

Like I said, heads need to roll … And McCarthy may be the biggest head of all, especially since Bill Belichick is available and up for grabs.
There’s zero doubt Jones is interested in bringing Belichick in … The one coach who Jones would actually step aside for is Belichick.
After all, Jerry isn’t getting any younger and he knows his time to win another Super Bowl is running out … With Belichick, he’d be getting something just as motivated as he is to win another ring.
There are other great coaches available, such as Mike Vrabel, Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll … But Belichick in Dallas seems like a perfect fit. (Imagine saying that a year ago!)
Getting back to the nightmare that happened yesterday … Was that the most embarrassing loss in Cowboys history???
You can certainly make that argument.
As the most polarizing team in the NFL, no other team brings out as much emotion as the Cowboys do … So, it goes without saying that yesterday’s debacle set social media on fire…

Do you think Jones will fire McCarthy? … Should he?
If he does, should he hire Belichick?
Is Prescott an elite quarterback? … Should the Cowboys consider moving off of him?
Getting back to the most important question – Was yesterday indeed the most embarrassing loss in Cowboys history???
