We cannot function where we are as far as the number of giveaways and lack of takeaways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo really, I just kept it about football,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe technique, fundamentals and how you improve that, the focus with that. The number of moving parts. Regardless of that, we need to be more connected, more uniform. Just kept it about the things we did do, didn\u2019t do and make sure the direction was clear and the direction we\u2019re going.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,120193976\/AdThrive_Content_2\/5e90daf19f500876e949a3d9_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Cowboys are entering their bye week and won&#8217;t be in action until they take on the San Francisco 49ers on October 27 at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jerry Jones insisted that he&#8217;s not considering firing Mike McCarthy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3075112\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3075112\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3075112\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mike-McCarthy-looks-at-his-play-sheet-against-the-Lions.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mike-McCarthy-looks-at-his-play-sheet-against-the-Lions.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mike-McCarthy-looks-at-his-play-sheet-against-the-Lions.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mike-McCarthy-looks-at-his-play-sheet-against-the-Lions.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mike-McCarthy-looks-at-his-play-sheet-against-the-Lions.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mike-McCarthy-looks-at-his-play-sheet-against-the-Lions.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Mike McCarthy looks over his play chart during the first quarter against the Detroit Lions at AT&amp;T Stadium.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3075112\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andrew Dieb-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After the loss, Jones was asked directly by reporters if he was considering a coaching change.
