'SEIZE NOTHING!' Green Bay Packers Dominate Coach Mike McCarthy's Dallas Cowboys In Playoff Humiliation
ARLINGTON - The Dallas Cowboys came into the playoffs looking to prove that this team, perhaps their most-talented in recent memory, was different than the others that flopped in the postseason - and they did so complete with a fancy Latin slogan, "Carpe Omnia.''
"Seize Everything''? In the end, the only thing they are "seizing'' is proof of the legitimacy of their doubters' suspicions, as they've fallen to the Green Bay Packers by a score of 48-32 that puts everything about the direction in question.
A contract extension for coach Mike McCarthy, who chose "Carpe Omnia'' as the theme? Tap the brakes.
Complete assuredness that Dak Prescott, he of the "Here We Gooo!'' cadence, is a "Super Bowl QB''? Take a breath.
Just about everything went wrong for Dallas in the first half ... and it all went downhill from there.
Aaron Jones vs. Cowboys
In the first half, Prescott completed 13 of 21 passes for just 87 yards with two back-breaking interceptions. And no, it got no better as afternoon moved into cold evening.
CeeDee Lamb, the NFL's reception leader in the regular season, has just two catches for 18 yards in the first half. And no, it got no better for him or any of the other vaunted members of this star-studded club.
Mccarthy unhappy
The Cowboys, 12-5 and playoff entrants for three straight years, just allowed a golden opportunity to escape them, if you believe that there was a Super Bowl path to be followed with relative ease.
But now we know. There was no "path.'' There is no "ease.'' And the only think the McCarthy- and Prescott-led Cowboys seized was a 30th straight season of "nothing.''
