The Dallas Cowboys are sinking in a year where they entered the season expecting to compete for a Super Bowl.
One week after being completely embarrassed by the Detroit Lions, the Cowboys were hoping to have a get-right performance against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. Instead, they lost again.
A big contributing factor to the Cowboy’s 3-4 record this season has been the play of quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott has eight interceptions through seven games, and head coach Mike McCarthy is beginning to lose his patience.
“We got to keep working. We did some things, but we got to stop the run and stay committed to the run for four quarters. Until we get that pattern working cohesively together, we’re not playing to our strength,” McCarthy is seen telling reporters in a video shared to Twitter by The Athletic’s Jon Machota.
“That’s a huge part of complementary football. We’re losing the turnover ratio week in and week out and we’re not being able to stop the run and stay committed to the run for four quarters. That’s how we have to play. That’s how we’re going to play. We need to be better at it.”

It’s not incredibly shocking that McCarthy would call out Prescott for turning the ball over every week, but you’d still expect a little more solidarity behind the franchise quarterback.
“He says the same [expletive] after every loss it’s plane and simple this teams not good enough to win against good teams I’d rather not make playoffs and get a good pick and I hate giving up but I don’t see a way to make a run when this front office won’t do nothing to help this coach,” one fed up fan said on Twitter.
It might be time to clean house in Dallas, the current regime just doesn’t seem to have what it takes.
