Why Mike McCarthy’s best work could come with fewer regular-season wins this year
Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/ The Cowboys might not match their 12-5 record from the last two years, but that doesn’t mean McCarthy has let them down The Cowboys are sitting at 9-3 and preparing for a tough December stretch. Matching their 12-5 record of the last two seasons will be difficult considering the competition coming up, but a reduced win count won’t be indicative of Mike McCarthy’s performance as head coach. Even with fewer wins, he may be doing his best work yet in Dallas. Now the playcaller, and more involved on offense since Kellen...

Winners and Losers from Cowboys 41, Seahawks 35
Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports There are no winners on the defensive side of the ball. Would you have rather been blown out like predicted or lose a game like that? The Seattle Seahawks reeled us in with a tremendous offensive performance. It was one of the best of the entire season. Too bad the defense was so stoked watching the offense score points, they let the Dallas Cowboys score even more points. Pete Carroll was 36-0 as Seahawks head coach when his teams scored at least 35 points. Make it 36-1. It was a devastating 41-35 loss that hammers their playoff hopes...

Cowboys scouting report: Breaking down the Seahawks defensive scheme
Photo by Steph Chambers/ This is a different Seahawks defense than most people are used to. It wasn’t that long ago that the Seahawks were synonymous with the best defense in the NFL. The Legion of Boom, as it was called, struck fear into every quarterback they met. Over the last three years, though, the Cowboys have enjoyed a similar deal with Dan Quinn, the man who once coordinated those Legion of Boom defenses, running the show. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll was a mentor to Quinn, and the Dallas defensive coordinator got his first head coaching gig largely due...

Cowboys scouting report: Breaking down the Seahawks offensive scheme
Photo by Jane Gershovich/ How nervous are you about Geno Smith? When the Cowboys host the Seahawks on Thursday night, it will be a reunion of sorts for offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. While Schottenheimer doesn’t call the plays in Dallas, this is his first time back in the coordinator role since he was fired by the Seahawks after the 2020 season. Seattle had enjoyed success under his watch, and Russell Wilson was a fan of his, but there were deeper philosophical differences that caused the split.
