What are you expecting from the team coming off the bye week?

[dallasfan4lizife]

I have 0 expectations for this team.

I am just appalled with the state of our trenches. When people say we're 2-2 and can turn it around...ya that's true with a team that has a decent offensive and defensive line.

Our trenches are talentless. that's the brutal truth. we will continue to be 7-9/9-7 with our pathetic d-line and o-line.

To expect anything more than disappointment from this team is foolish in my opinion.

I'm still holding onto optimism because our offense has been putrid. If they can just improve enough to score in the 20's consistently, our chances greatly increase. I am not sure how much worse our offense can get, they have to get better right?

I expect the Ravens to play the Cowboys the same way the Bears did. Now, what Dallas team will we see? Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde

You're right.

Hoping:

1. A few new plays inserted into the play list. I know we're restricted with our OL and receivers dropping the ball but to me everything seems so vanilla. If we're going to go out then let's do it in a blaze of Glory.

2. Like to see some new faces on the field, mostly receivers--Beasley,Harris, Holmes,Hanna,Phillips. Make players accountable for their mistakes and non productive ways no matter who it is. It may only take Dez and other non productive players a few minutes on the bench to realize that no longer is their half*** play going to be tolerated.

[View Full Quote]3. Like to see another, at least one, OL on the team for the 5th game. I just feel it's hard to find anyone out there better than what we have. That's hard to believe, but like many have said why haven't they been signed by another team if they are any good.

4. Try a few plays with two tight ends for run blocking, leaving Vickers on the bench.

I'm sure there are others hopes that could be listed but will leave that up to the Forum. What would you hope for?

I honestly don't know what to expect. This Team has been so inconsistant , who knows what to expect.

30-17 Loss because until proven otherwise these are the same old Cowboys of the last 5 seasons (2009 excepted) Team lacks focus and maturity. Until they find it they will be losers. Sad to say.

Plus we already had a sort-of bye week going into SEA and look how that turned out. They sucked from the opening kickoff in that one.

Good luck with that with this bunch....

So if Cruz would have caught those passes it would have also led Tampa Bay to a victory over Dallas?

[Champsheart]

Well lets think here. If you listen to the players and coaches this is the greatest practive team in sports, we had a great off-season and our Training camp was off the hook. Before the Chicago game we had a GREAT week of practice. We are the kings when we dont play, so if the game was at Valley Ranch on Wednesday we would beat them 56-0. But it is on Sunday and that means game day and we can not run the ball, we can not protect the passer, our receivers and tight ends drop balls, we are penalty prone, our D wears down, we consistently turn the ball over and dont get many back and we appear to have a coach that has no idea how to fix all this.
I expect you will see what we are, an inconsistent team that does not play fundemental football and lose.

My expectations sunk after the Seattle game. These guys still just don't get it.

I think we're a 8-8 team. Maybe 7-9. Just too poorly coached and not on the same page.

Coaching isn't the biggest problem right now. It's lack of talent in certain areas like the offensive line and defensive line. These guys just aren't very good football players. Can't pass protect, can't open up running lanes, can't get to the quarterback.

Please tell me how is that Jason Garrett's fault?

If my aunt would have had balls, she would have been my uncle.

Even KJJ agrees with you...

Why do you even bother anymore? Some of these guys just don't get it.
