Less talkative about a Green Bay reunion replay against the Cowboys during the playoffs is coach Mike McCarthy.
Coach Mike McCarthy of Dallas believed he spoke too much about his visit to Green Bay following the Cowboys’ season-ending loss to the Packers.
McCarthy can take advantage of the fact that the stakes for another reunion in a wild-card game at the Cowboys’ stadium on Sunday are significantly higher.
McCarthy, who spent more than 12 years coaching in the north and ended the 2010 campaign with a Super Bowl victory on Dallas’ home field, said, “I regretted it.” It is not even necessary for that to enter our energy foundation. I was honest when answering the questions about my experience up there last year. Simply put, it won’t help us win. I’m not interested in anything, therefore, if it doesn’t help us win a game. I’m sorry.
McCarthy was unenthusiastic about the responses, but he didn’t entirely dismiss the questions.
To prove his point, the Cowboys (12-5) are the NFC’s top seed at No. 2 after three straight postseason appearances under their fourth-year coach. FanDuel Sportsbook has Dallas as a 7 1/2-point favorite over Green Bay (9-8).
Since winning its fifth Super Bowl championship to end the 1995 season, the team hasn’t even advanced to the NFC championship game.
McCarthy not only won a championship with the Packers but also made it that far three other times.
