The Cowboys’ lifeless first half against the Packers had NFL fans making so many Bill Belichick jokes

Even after parting ways with the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick apparently still wants to coach in the NFL. And when taking Sunday’s early Wild Card Game results into account, his next gig very well might come with the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys entered their opening postseason matchup with the Green Bay Packers as the NFC’s No. 2 seed. They had legitimate Super Bowl aspirations, with Mike McCarthy looking to bury his demons with his old team. Instead, Dallas fell behind 27-7 at halftime, with the Cowboys looking lifeless for the better part of 30 minutes. No wonder Jimmy Johnson was so openly upset.

Even a 14-0 deficit seemed like it hit the Cowboys like a Mack Truck.

When combining such poor body language with a terrible performance, NFL fans connected the dots. It was time for owner Jerry Jones to make the call to Belichick. Of course, halfway through a playoff game, these were only jokes. But I can’t think of a better opportunity for Belichick to coach a possible contender than with the Cowboys’ talented roster.

Should the Cowboys’ humiliation indeed be cemented, don’t discount Belichick calling Dallas home soon enough.
