Im surprised Dan Quinn hasnt taken as much heat after this performance. Everyones rightfully blaming HC and QB, but Quinn got whipped even worse. How can he be OK with using a 210 pound DB as middle linebacker
Ive defended DQ so much and given him so much credit the past couple of seasons but holy crap that was awful. Ive never seen defenders (let alone those on a "good" defense) be so out of position and get so torched.
It was even better to see that meltdown after watching every broadcast crew gas him up every week as he stood there in his headset and his backwards cap like Christof from The Truman Show.
@@jamesR1990 I'm not super into Cowboys media so maybe I missed that. But the national conversation has all been about firing McCarthy while Quinn is getting interviews for head coaching jobs
Point of information: Dan Quinn's best years as HC had Kyle Shanahan _as his offensive coordinator_. You'd think he had better ideas against that system.
What nobody is talking about is how much time Love had to make these throws. Any secondary is going to get beat if you give a strong arm QB 4 and 5 seconds to make a throw. It's shocking to to the Dallas pass rush get totally nuliffied.
@@GizmoMalteseAaron Jones did an absolutely phenomenal job in pass pro. There's reps where he's stuffing rusher who gets by the Oline, plus you have good TE's in there a lot bc the small LB's.
When the league changed the rules on passing pick plays to OPI, McCarthy's offense was fatally weakened. That was the primary reason that his 5 wide (and particularly trips to one side or other, but spread out and without motion) passing attack worked initially - Rodgers was very accurate, GB had a set of really talented receivers (Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, etc.), and they could pick the defender, effectively blocking him past the line of scrimmage. I bet if you were to chart the Y/a, Y/r, EPA and QB passer rating of McCarthy's offensive performance from 2012 onward you'll see an unmistakable and relentless downward trend in each category.
Excellent breakdown. Honestly I almost never watch post-game analysis...and I'm not a Packers fan...but... This game was SUBLIME. Obnoxious Cowboys fans go back into hibernation....and Jerry is embarrassed in his own ego palace. It was his team's worst defeat since '65...1865 😅
As a Packer fan, love the Love love. I learn a lot from your passing breakdowns. Would be interested in seeing you do something similar with the run game on a team.
This is not about Dak. He had some bad throws but that can happen to anyone. No team is going to win with their defense getting rolled like this. They gave up big plays but how about holding them to a FG?
@10:00 Prescott played fantasy well, but not playoff well. 😉 Packer fan for over a quarter century and am completely ecstatic about 'The Power of Love' ~ Huey Lewis. 🥹 He throws off his back feet (or ground completely) - like Favre, but is way more accurate - like Rodgers. The go-get-it balls he throws occasionally when under great pressure have massive 2-3 second lead times on them, but are thrown very precisely in order to let his skill players use their skills to go get it. I've also noticed they've adopted a small subset of the Dolphins motion passing scheme they typically use Hill for, where they got it from arena 🏈, and largely employ Reed for - best demonstrated on the last game of the season versus the Bears. 😌
make these videos on the ufl once the nfl season is over and before the draft could you do more nfl draft videos about more prospects and start them earlier
_Excellent_ video & along with another I'd seen breaking down their Week One match-up with the Bears, Love & the Packers don't actually seem that great, roster-wise. They seem to feast on the bad play-calling of others. Even the first two throws by Love you showed here were late & came Long After that receivers were open, like he was unsure. Someone did an analysis of how QBs performed under pressure & while he wasn't dead last, he wasn't near the top half either. Just something to consider as you continue (I hope) to do these in the future. Will this haunt him or will he improve? Or will teams keep sticking to inept coaches so he can continue to perform well without improving? This was one of Brady's things. Due to his rep, everyone played "safe" soft zones against him when everyone who beat him did so by bringing pressure. You'd _think_ that the Giants doing this twice *in the Super-Bowl* would have some sort of lasting effect, but it never did.
On the Doubs reception, that’s C4 not Tampa 2. And DAL dl wasn’t ready at the snap on multiple occasions. On this play particularly, Love had 4.5+ seconds to throw. That coverage is dependent on that dl to create pressure with 4.
DAL pass rush wasn’t creating enough pressure. On the last play: GB max protection DAL was in man-free (C1, 5-man pressure) WR is reading Gilmore’s leverage and breaks the route off. It’s unrealistic to ask a DB to cover that long, consistently. And especially with Kearse playing FS, something he isn’t capable of doing. Hooker is the normal FS.
Surprised more people dont mention how bad the teams Dallas's wins were against and that Dak was basically stat-boosting against horrible Eagles, Giants, and Commanders teams.
Because they played a lot of teams that were weaker than the Packers, that didn't have the benefit of a full season worth of game film from which to formulate their game plan and that didn't have coaches who were already familiar with Dallas's tendencies. That's my guess, anyway.
If you actually watch. The defense had them covered. But the DB gave up position and bit on the other routes. The Dallas all year jumped routes. They got a lot of turnovers off jumping routes. The difference in this game was the pressure didn't get there to get the ball out early. They jump a route and if the ball comes out, they are there. The pressure didn't so they were dead. It happens to a defense that gambles on the rush getting there. Its why good teams gave Dallas fits all year. The pressure didn't get there, and they lost the gambles. Even Seattle great defense run to their SB win. The defense was built on jumping routes. And the pressure got there, and they won. Look at the SB. Manning at the time set the SB record for completions. So, when the pressure didn't get there, they were fine. But it got there enough to force turnover just like Dallas's defense. Pressure=turnovers. It's the Seattle defense as it is called. Pressure and make the QB get the ball out while you jump routes.
They also pronounce Favre as FARV. Both are French names that are being mangled for an American audience because most English speakers couldn't say them properly. The real pronunciation of Doubs is more like DOOB, with no S. Like the word foyer, these French names have been anglicized. Ben's pronunciation is closer to correct than saying DOBBS, but the family probably gave up generations ago.
It would make the loss not look as bad tbh. As a 49ers fan, I really hope that doesn't happen. Here the Cowboys got ambushed but 49ers have seen this tape.
They weren’t as good as their record would have you believe. How many of the teams did they beat make the playoffs or even better had a winning record? Record and strength of conference is what matters. Example, look at the Ravens.
Gilmore really has no chance of winning on that last play. The Cowboys got caught in Cover 1, and the Packers ran a twist on Yankee (a post to clear the space and an over underneath it), a concept designed to beat single-high coverages. Gilmore starts from outside leverage to funnel Doubs to the free safety, but the boundary-side corner and free safety need to bracket the post, so he has no inside help against what he thinks is the over. Here, Gilmore either concedes a big catch from the over or a big catch from the turn into the corner. Once Green Bay got this concept against Dallas, Gilmore was beaten before Love even snapped the ball.
I am ready for Cowboys to restart, i know its not gonna happen when Jerry is the owner. Jerry is probably gonna keep McCarthy and cowboys are gonna stay the same.
Keep changing coaches but nothing changes. The only thing that remains the same is Dak. Funny how the Dallas fan blames everyone and everything under the sun but the one person who's the problem, Dak. He's a good guy sure. But he's not as good as him numbers says he is. He's nothing but empty stats piled up again bad teams.
Way to be an innovative coach: be a son of a coach and don't play college football (Belichick, Shanahan, Mike Leach). I guess insiders are too locked into how they played the game.
It's the Cowgirls. One and done Dak. A head coach who was fired from GB due to plain vanilla offense any good team could figure out easily and a moron GM who hires him expecting better. Jerry Jones will never see another super bowl again in his limited life time left. Yeah make it worst buy re-signing Dak to a over 60 million a year for one and done.
Was Dallas really so good? Look no farther than their record against team that finished over 500. And how they played in those games. It's not good. Sure they can beat the pants off terrible teams and they did. But against good ones they struggled. Dallas is 13-15 against teams over 500 or the last 3 years. They beat the pants off bad teams that's it. Sure you aren't going to beat good teams all the time. But if you are a so-called great team you should be at least over 500.
This is the analysis I've been waiting for all week.

He's taken a ton of heat and won't be extended an offer to return per reports from the Reporters who directly work with them like Bobby Belt

This is the first thing I've seen that helped me to understand how that game went. I think everyone was shocked, and most didn't really look into it.
everyone who was shocked did not pay attention to the lolcows boys the last 20 years^^
Good stuff Ben, still got the dopest episode/segment. Can't wait to see how you break down the rest of the playoffs
Benjamin, you're a nice, young, man. Please keep up the good work. We appreciate your content.
Such a good episode Ben! End zone view is like late night cheese. Such a tasty treat
Good stuff. This kinda breakdown is a lot easier to find on youtube for soccer but not really for NFL. Appreciate it - keep it up
Love this breakdown with the descriptive and historical detail. LeFleur is getting good at this

Thanks, Ben! Every week I look forward to these breakdowns. Always learn something new.
Another Play Sheet banger. Somebody get this man another 100k views.
Such a good episode Ben 👌
We must protect Ben Solak at all costs.
Excellent breakdown.

Love the episode Ben but Romeo’s last name is pronounced Dobbs like the court case.
Such a good episode ben!
This video was hard for me to find? Didn’t appear in my feed and I had to do a couple of searches to get it. Great vid as always.
great episode ben
More of this ☝🏻☝🏻
Super interesting, thanks!
As a Cowboys fan, I sure hope that the Cowboys are doing similar self scouting. I am afraid though, that with no jobs on the line, it won’t happen.
As a Packer fan, love the Love love. I learn a lot from your passing breakdowns. Would be interested in seeing you do something similar with the run game on a team.
That last play was bullying 😂
Such a good episode Beeeeen
I snorted at: "We're just gonna put TEs on the field and bully you around, are you cool with at?" And Dan Quinn said, "Yeah, I'm cool with that."
Dak is a Drew Bledsoe. Win divisions. Put up numbers. Get tricked by predictable defenses at inopportune times. Season's over.
Good comparison
Good comparison
Good comparison
didn't he go to a superbowl?
This is not about Dak. He had some bad throws but that can happen to anyone. No team is going to win with their defense getting rolled like this. They gave up big plays but how about holding them to a FG?

I am the bee's knees thank you for noticing
Like the video so Ben will pronounce Romeo Doubs last name correctly

great stuff as always, ben! (it's pronounced "Dobbs" though. Just want you to get it right since you'll be saying his name in the future)

It is extremely unlikely, but I wonder how the narrative around DAL would change if GB rolled into SF and put a similar type beating on SF.
Giants won the superbowl in 2007...dallas still failed miserably
I do think GB is the 2nd best nfc team right now behind the 9ers
Probably not much, because I don’t know of anyone talking about the SF DC being talked about as a HC.
It would make the loss not look as bad tbh. As a 49ers fan, I really hope that doesn't happen. Here the Cowboys got ambushed but 49ers have seen this tape.
America's Team! 25 years of post season nothing
Damn DQ got cooked. Well done, Ben.
I thought GB could win going into the game. Dallas is statistically good but are flawed and not that scary.
They weren’t as good as their record would have you believe. How many of the teams did they beat make the playoffs or even better had a winning record?
Record and strength of conference is what matters. Example, look at the Ravens.
Gilmore really has no chance of winning on that last play. The Cowboys got caught in Cover 1, and the Packers ran a twist on Yankee (a post to clear the space and an over underneath it), a concept designed to beat single-high coverages.

Greeting fellow 49er fans!
Fire Brian Johnson, Sean Desai & Matt Patricia
I don’t know who this middle schooler is but he sure does know football
I am ready for Cowboys to restart, i know its not gonna happen when Jerry is the owner. Jerry is probably gonna keep McCarthy and cowboys are gonna stay the same.
Damn. This is really good film breakdown. Not what I was expecting from babyface over here
Wow the packers defense was so good at predicting what the cowboys were doing that if they were the Patriots, they would have been accused of cheating
I was not cool with that
We're the Cowboys really "so good" this year?
Wonder when folks going star blaming Dak. Multiple coaches still no big playoff wins.
Keep changing coaches but nothing changes. The only thing that remains the same is Dak. Funny how the Dallas fan blames everyone and everything under the sun but the one person who's the problem, Dak. He's a good guy sure. But he's not as good as him numbers says he is. He's nothing but empty stats piled up again bad teams.
