Wow you pretty much wrote what I was thinking. Finally someone else who despises the so called “red headed genius”. I wish some half ass team WOULD have picked him up after the 06 season so we could have actually got a Off. Cord. who knew how to call plays.
I am glad this Sunday’s game is not being televised in my area, because if they are beating themselves with penalties and horrible play calling and getting beat by the Chiefs, I don’t think I could be able to watch the entire game anyway. I will probably end up catching the game on NFL Replay, just depending on the outcome.

Hey Phillip, It seems that we are two different people. My optimistic approach on these boys seems to rub you the wrong way. But I do see where you are coming from, the thing is that it’s early still and things aren’t quite over. Its just time for them to find there identity. I think they can and will and all the things you call for will come and they will flourish, we just need that identity to found sooner then later.

Not at all Bo!”My associates here with this blog are doing there very best to try to keep everyone’s spirits up, and I am very appreciative of that!” I love that there are still true Cowboy fans, you are one of those that love them no matter what! I am that way as well. This site however allows me to vent my frustrations for everyone to see, and sometimes let’s people like Joe know that he is not alone in his thinking. This post was me venting, and about me being able to express my feelings about what I see from this team. I want them to win, I want them to be champions but THEY have to do it! THEY have to want to do it!

Since the breakout year in 2007 everyone has been predicting the Cowboys to go all the way.I am not so sure now.They look worse than they did last year.Cupcake sure is whiney this year.The team is talented,the coaching sucks.

Amen brother. You hit the nail on the head. I am a die hard Cowboys fan and this is killing me. I have said for 2.5 years now that the problem is the coaching staff. Wade Phillips will never be more than a def coord. He is good at that, what is the problem. He is not his father and should stop trying to be. Ever since the coaches started trying to change Tony Romo he has been on the decline. He is not happy and looks like a step child that gets beaten daily. The coaching staff is sucking the life out of him. Both aforementioned need to be themselves. Now on to “the red ball express”. well that train derailed 2.5 years ago. You see, Jason Garrett was never more than 3rd string backup and only ever saw the field when injuries came to the better players: Aikman and anyone other than Jason Garrett. He only got his first glimce of stardom his first year here, remember when Tony Romo was allowed to be Tony Romo? The man cannot call a play, has no game plan, does appear to be able make adjustments, why you ask? read my previous sentence. Yes, it is all about Jason Garrett getting his first taste of true success which could be attributed to his talent. Unfortunately now, we see Jason Garrett has reverted to what he has been his whole life: a third stringer. First year O. Coordinators are doing better than Jason with far less talent on other teams.
I also agree with you about the middle of the field. Jason Garrett cant find it. The last couple of games including the Giants, you could have set up a tent and cookout in the middle of the field. How do you miss glaring holes the size of the Grand Canyon. Of course, Romo cant throw to the wide open middle because there is NO ONE even remotely close. Picture this: Moses part the Red Sea. Now you get the idea of how totally wide open the middle of the Cowboys offensive field actually is.
Now finally, I completely agree that it is already past time to panic. Stop making excuses, we have seen this before, history is repeating itself. The gut check is coming up empty, no heart, no soul with the exception of a handful of players. Which you also accurately listed but I will add: Felix Jones, Trashard Choice.
Unless JJ makes some serious changes immediately following the KC game find something else to do on Sundays. I have been a loyal and devoted Cowboys fan for some 30 years now and will always love them. IT is not about the win/lose, it is about watching people play football who actually try to do their best. Not the case in Dallas any longer. all goes back to coaching.
For the love of God, Jerry: you want to be head coach, general manager and CEO: kick some butt, jerk their library card, do something and do it fast or just like General Motors you will find you are no longer #1 (America’s Team) Toyota (Pittsburg Steelers/Giants or someone obscure) will take your place and you will walk around saying, WHAT HAPPENED? Just my 2 cents

I am amazed and quite impressed with every statement you made!! I agree whole heartedly. The team emulates the head coach, which pretty much sums it up. You know, when I played in high school, we had a coach, Doyle Kelly, who burned it into our heads, “You want to play for me!?!?!?! Then get some fire in your a$$!!” The only thing about the blog that is missing, is the fact that noone has yet to say this: Football is a game of passion. Where is teh freakin’ passion???? Oh, how I wish every player would play like Marion Barber III!!!
