Well...

[Dawg Fan]

If the Cowboys lose today I think they will fall apart like the last several seasons and we can just wait and see who Jones wants for his next HC. I'll bet it will be Garrett and then in another three years we will be looking forward to the next choice:Censor:

I have been a true blue Cowboys fan since the late 60's but I am so tired of watching the team tease us by looking like they are going to make some noise only to slam the door in my face. I know what the Cubs fans feel like every year. If I were a cubs and cowboys fan I think I would go completely crazy.:(

don't encourage me.

[the_phoenix612]

Romo CAN hold a FG successfully! :rolleyes:

[CCDawgs]

Bring on Bill Cower!

[Dawg Fan]

How much are they paying Garrett? I can't decide who is worse, him or Phillips. You would think the boy genius would be able to come up with an offense that included the red zone.:Censor:

I know Phillips is gone at the end of the year but I don't see how Garrett is worth keeping.

[fzone]

Are you kidding me? The third down play before the Chargers field goal, they had Carpenter on Sproles. Luckily they had pressure on Rivers. This not looking good.:mad:

[Dawg Fan]

Hey, I have an idea, when it is 2nd and goal from the 1 lets run the same play three times and see if we can make the chargers drive 99 yards. Great play calling from the boy wonder again. This gets so f.u.cking old:mad:

[mad_fan]

Pass interference on D not called...followed by Int on own 30...missed FG...wtf is going on in D???

[Dawg Fan]

How long before we let Beuhler try to kick the field goals, he couldn't miss any worse than Folk. Folk is done as far as I am concerned. He used to be money but it is time to let him go.

Not to worry it wasn't Folk's fault McBriar wasn't holding on his miss;)

i was being sarcastic you had to see the ;) after Folk's B******** about missing FGs because of McBriar's holding then he misses one with Romo holding, soooooooooo must not be the holders with the problem, but the kicker with the problem.

[Allstarkaw]

Defense Just Broke Down And Let Rivers Pick 'em Apart...:Censor:

[CCDawgs]

I think its all going to come down to the Philly game for a playoff spot. New Orleans is a loss and i dont really have any feeling for the Washington game since I dont know what will happen. But overall, this is just crap.

[drgnbkr]

The Cowboy's in the post Jimmy Johnson era just aren't very good...Jerry would be better running a circus under his big top....What a pathetic defense..

[su4c]

The only confidence I had in the New Orleans game was Dallas could keep it close if they got pressure on Brees... without Ware good luck with that.

[SLC]

9-7 here we come....I said it then and just said it again.;)

[Maroondog]

The Cowboy's in the post Jimmy Johnson era just aren't very good...Jerry would be better running a circus under his big top....What a pathetic defense..

How else would you characterize it?

[Maroondog]

New Orleans game could be interesting in that Dallas in now in a corner and New Orleans may lose some interest waiting on the playoffs.

We'll get to see if Payton can maintan his teams focus and or if Dallas ends its season.

I give Dallas a small chance based on the above.

[slcdragonfan]

could SOMEBODY buy the cowboys a FG kicker?????!!!!! How ridiculous is this?

Also, perhaps play calling at the 1 foot line should be considered, I think the announcers got it when they said why call a play where the Guard has to pull? Too close here for someone to penetrate...

Oh well, another December fades into oblivion. This was a very winnable game.

That play caller is probably the next head coach..Can't wait to read Randy in the morning..

[Favpack]

I believe the Pokes are 5-15 in December under Romo, while the Chargers are 16-4 in December under Rivers - it may actually be even better for Rivers - but I think that's what I recall.

I think that would be the difference between a winner and loser.

Yeah, this game was winnable, so was last week, so was last year against the Steelers, on and on and on.....

I thought they said Rivers was like 15-0 in Dec. and it was some kind of NFL record or maybe he had won 15 in a row in Dec. anyway the polar opposite of the cowboys.

[the_phoenix612]

This loss was not Romo's fault. Neither was last week.

[Favpack]

This loss was not Romo's fault. Neither was last week.

The two losses were due to the O's inability to score points. I don't put either loss totally on him, particularly last week. However, he's a pretty big piece of the O, so he gets the blame - regardless - it goes with the position.

Nope, buck stops at the head coach, OC and DC as well as GM. Blame the QB all you want, but the past two weeks Romo has done it all.

Personally if I were to blame any personnel, it would be the O-Line. That comes back to depth, and the GM.

first off, wow you're old.

I for one hope they get rid of Wade Phillips after this season. Im tired of this grandpa looking emotionless gummy bear just standing on our sideline just watching the game like he's looking at it for the first time. I was pissed when Barber got stuffed on the 1 freakin yd line the first time. All he had to do was take 2-3 steps and take a leap of faith. JUST DIVE. But the doosh decides to try and run it in and make it look pretty and gets stuffed 3 times! And how does Wade react...

All 3 need replaced! Sadly the GM won't be and we can look forward to another group of HC, DC and OC that he micromanage's...

It does NOT look good now that Ware will be out for an extended period of time. Or at least he should be, no need to tempt fate with the injury he incurred...

I loved it because deep in my heart I was hoping yesterday frustrated the s#%t out of him like it did me... Once he gets frustrated enough, maybe he'll make the changes that are so desperately needed. Included just being CEO of the team and then letting Stephen be the GM...

He is going to make changes for sure. Problem is it will only be another set of smoke and mirrors.

The only way I see him doing anything that is truly different is if he starts to feel it in the pocketbook. But, he is like P.T. Barnum, he knows there are enough suckers out there to last a long, long, time so I just don't see any real differences on the horizon.

[SLC93]

What I don't get is how a ProBowl kicker suddenly forgets how to kick FGs...

Kickers are weird, to start. Folk should have been cut weeks ago. That's harsh, I realize, but kicker is the one starting position in the league that has almost zero margin for error. They get cut every week all over the league.

Let's also not forget this kid had hip surgery in the spring. I'm thinking that would be tough for anyone but especially somone who kicks a ball for a living.

60-85, 68.5% completion rate, 641 yards, 5 touchdowns and 0 turnovers the last two weeks while running the most vanilla passing attack in the league with almost no explosion to it. He is not the issue any longer, get past that notion.

Jason Garret has apparently confused total yards with total points and has lost all of his creativity. Two plays in three weeks have made me say out loud,"Great play." That's two times he's shown any imagination. He's too green, too stubborn and vastly over rated. Folks forget that Tony Sparano was every bit as responsible for the 07 production as Garrett. The offense hasn't been the same since he left.

Does anyone else cry when they realize that if Jerry wasn't so bull headed about being the GM we'd more than likely be run by Parcells as the GM, Payton as the HC and Sparano as the assistant HC and OC?

[SLC93]

9-7 here we come....I said it then and just said it again.;)

10-6!:D

As long as we go into free agency with Shanahan I'll be happy. All of our alleged playmakers on offense are young enough to learn a new system and excel in it.

Best point of the year, and I've said it a few dozen times as well. I think the bigger loss was Payton, and I don't know if he and Tuna could have co-existed, but I think so.

Dallas is third in league in yards, but 13th in points - and most of those points were in Sept - Oct.

this. Romo has done everything he can to win these last couple of games including holding for kicks. How about Adams, Davis and Newman? Our 20M no shows... again. Yea Newman had an interception, but he also gave up a couple of the 3rd and longs that kept TD drives alive. I am so done watching him play corner. All that speed and he always seems to get turned around. uhhhgg...

Agreed. I'm not a huge Parcells guy but, to be honest, I like him nore in the front office than on the sidelines. He knows how to institute a structure. Also, if here still here half of our scouting department would still be here, too, and not in Miama.

Getting away from Parcells did Payton alot of good because they are on different levels of thought on offensive football. Bill never let Sean spread his wings to anywhere near their full extent while he was calling plays here. Aside from that philisophical difference, they subscribe to many of the same thought processes. I imagine if Bill had said he was going to run the organization and Sean was going to run the field we wouldn't have had any issue.

Perhaps you are on to something here. Having knowledgable football personnel run the football operation. Has this ever been tried before?

[Maroondog]

On more item I've noticed and it wasn't just yesterday, but I see it nearly every week.

Why is it that QB's such as Philip Rivers yesterday, old tired Brett Farve and others are seen on the sidelines clapping and talking it up with their teammates and every time you see Romo, he sitting on the bench looking like he's constipated?

[SLC93]

:D

And what I have never understood is this. Jerry loves the spotlight. He's a ho to it. It's part of what makes him such a genius in marketing. That said I'll never understand how he has failed to understand that he would receive even more attention if he was the owner that just wrote the checks, if he had the best front office in the business working for him. With his financial resources and business acumen a top flight front office and staff would have netted him more championships which means more exposure. He could still get his fix but have the trophies, too. Make sense?

Ever been smarter than the guy telling you what to do? Or forced to do less when you know you could do more?

Some of it is his personality. Some of it is the sideline dynamic, though.

I bet there are some real interesting team dynamics going on now after the last 2 losses!!
