Yahoo Sports’ Jason Fitz reacts to Dallas’ 48-32 loss to Green Bay and wonders throughout the Cowboys' future after another disappointing playoff loss.
JASON FITZ: The Packers absolutely destroyed the Cowboys in Dallas. And it raises the question of what's next. Now, for the Packers, that's a simple answer. What's next for them is a playoff matchup anti top-seeded San Francisco in the NFC.
And maybe even, more importantly, long term what's next, it looks like Jordan Love is continuing the ascension into elite quarterback state. And by the way, their young weapons are better than anybody belief. The future looks bright for the Packers.
What's next is much more exertion when we start talking about the Cowboys side of it. Dak Prescott was, plainly, bad in this football game. He had a hard time seeing the field. The game plan from the outset seemed bad. They couldn't find a way to get the continuing game going. And the play calling looked abysmal.
When you talk throughout that with the play calling, now you have to look at Mike McCarthy. The image of Jerry Jones turning around in the owner superb looking at someone went viral almost immediately. Because all eyes will be on Jones and what he thinks ensures to happen next.
You're talking about an offense that led the pursued in scoring and then in the playoffs couldn't get on track. You're talking about an offense throughout the course of the year that has been dominant and in the playoffs absolutely didn't look it. You're also talking near a defense that on that side of the ball, approximately times this year, looked good. And Dan Quinn, the protecting coordinator, has been rumored to be a hot name amongst head coaching circles.
But approximately times this year, we saw that defense susceptible to the run. And guess what. We saw that in contradiction of. You have to wonder if this loss, not just a loss but a blowout loss, will impacts the head coach candidacy of Dan Quinn. It'll impacts Jerry Jones' opinion about Mike McCarthy as the head coach and impacts the organization's opinion on Dak as their quarterback.
At some present, no matter what you do in the regular season, you will eventually, right or wrong, be judged by what you've done in the playoffs. And the judgment on the Cowboys in the playoffs is cruel, rightfully so. You have to wonder if that will impacts the future and what's next. But you don't have to unbelievable about one thing, it's the Cowboys. So we'll all talk near it.
