There’s a serious problem in Dallas, and it’s not all about injuries even though there are a mountain of them. On Jerry Jones’ birthday, his 82nd, he “celebrated” by watching them get blown out in a non-competitive home first half for the fourth time in a row. The Cowboys entered the locker room down 27-6 to the Detroit Lions, en route to a 47-9 demolishing.
The loss dropped Dallas to 0-3 at home on the season, and the open mics from the game were littered with audible chants from Lions fans who made the trek to Dallas to watch a championship caliber team. The Cowboys are woefully injured, but that wasn’t the case in the previous losses, so it’s difficult to allow that to be an excuse for this putrid performance.
It’s more difficult not to consider that the team has no future under head coach Mike McCarthy. Will Jerry Jones consider firing him?
It may seem drastic, but one thing about the NFL is it’s a copycat league. With the Jets waving goodbye to Robert Saleh this week, perhaps the fever will spread down south.
Dallas gave up 47 points, the most since a 49-38 Week 4 loss during the 2020 COVID season. The 38-point loss ties the largest recent deficit in a defeat in team history. That loss? Week 9 in 2010; i.e. the game that got Wade Phillips fired.
