Mike McCarthy not in danger in Dallas, gave his word Stephen Jones, vice president of the Cowboys.
At 2-6 in eight games, this is the worst start in McCarthy’s career as head coach. In fact it is just his second with a negative mark after eight days.
Precisely in 2006, his first year in Wisconsin, McCarthy started 3-5 with the Packers in his first eight games. A four-game winning streak in December vindicated the Packers’ path to finish 8-8 that season.
With the antecedent of Jason Garrett (85-67) in Dallas, who served 10 years at the helmsman of the Cowboys, it seems unlikely that McCarthy will return to his starting point in 2020, the armchair of his house – where he spent months designing his game scheme, revealed a Tom Pelissero interview.
Injuries at the quarterback position in Dallas have been costly for the team in recent years, regardless of the name or the outlook as such. Dak Prescott’s dislocated ankle fracture in Dallas has been an irreplaceable casualty so far for the team, as the Cowboys’ defense has been the worst in the middle of the calendar, allowing 33.3 points per game.
Going back to Garrett, it was precisely the season in which Tony Romo injured his shoulder the only one in which the team finished with a negative mark. In 2015, the Cowboys finished 4-12.
Still in the race for division
As difficult as it may seem at 2-6, the Cowboys still have a chance to win their division. The Eagles lead 3-4-1, Washington Football Team is second at 2-5. Five Thirty Eight gives the Cowboys a 7% chance of succeeding.
As the season wears off, the Cowboys are about to start the fourth quarterback so far this year. Andy Dalton is in isolation, on the reserve / COVID list. Is he, believes the owner of the team Jerry Jones, who can give the team the opportunity to return the season in their favor.
“I think both [evaluamos nuestro futuro y competiremos por la división], and Dalton is the key “Jones noted fora 105.3FM The FAN.
Dalton left the game against Washington due to concussion protocols after a strong blow from Jon Bostic in the FedEx Field game.
For now, the Cowboys face the Steelers next round, the last undefeated team of the season. Then comes the week off. After that comes the second round of divisional duels and games in Minnesota, Baltimore, Cincinnati and against the 49ers.
If things turn out to be similar to what happened in Green Bay, the good news for the team is that McCarthy’s second season as head coach ended the Packers 13-3.
