Oh yeah, you nailed it for sure.

As long as you accept mediocrity, Cowboys fans, that's just what you'll get.

You're right.....

So what do you suggest we do about it huh? Come on, I'm waiting

I think Jerry thinks all you need is 10-15 top end guys and you can ignore the rest of the roster.

It's not the way it works in the NFL any more.
We've had multiple sustained hits to already-thin positions (C, RB, S). But I agree in general: this roster is not deep and needs help across the board.
When asked whether Jason Garrett is the right head coach for this team: "I don't think there is anyone else that could. I think he is an unbelievable coach. We've responded to him and he has made us better football players, better people. If you watch us I think we play with a certain relentless spirit." --Sean Lee

I don't care how much he TRIES. Someone who tries & fails for SEVENTEEN YEARS has usually lost their job long ago. This team is a game under .500 in that time frame. Most of you aren't old enough to expect better.

I've been a fan since 1965, so I know what it takes to build a winner. Jerry Jones hasn't a clue. Jimmy Johnson is the ONLY reason Jones has three Lombardy's. I can't wait until the old fool finally becomes too incapacitated to run this team. I hope against hope Stephen will have better sense than his old man & hire a quality GM & HC.

That's an insult to Dan Snyder. At least Dan was smart enough to get a better GM and coach after his failures.

The team is built from the outside in, and that fault resides with the GM, because that is no way to build a team. Yes, Dez is a wonderful talent, and Carr and Claiborne have helped rebulid a porous secondary. Sean Lee and Bruce Carter are a nice start to shoring up the middle on D. But the rest of this team is soft up the middle. Jay Ratliff is getting older, but we have no take charge bad mofo d-lineman. The safeties are all jags. The o-line cripples any attempt at a legitimate ground game.

When theye shore up the trenches, this team will start to turn the corner. If the trenches are continually neglected, the team will continue to be mediocre or worse.

Haha!!! on the ticket they had a caller call in and say that a fan at the game was chanting "No More Jerry.....No More Jerry..." Jerry had him removed from the stadium because people started yelling it with him.

They also said they recieved T-shirts that say "FireJerry.com"

HaHa!!

We can only hope this is a start of a movement similar to saveourchiefs.com started by the Chiefs fan base. Check it out if you aren't aware of it:

This is the correct answer.

But unfortunately there are too many fans out there who are willing to continue to hand over money for Jerry's crappy product.

So get used to more seasons like this going forward. In actuality I'm projecting a steep drop off in a couple of years as guys like Witten and Ware begin their decline.

I blame Jerry for hiring that loser who supervises player strength and conditioning. Injuries are a part of the game but there are way too many bumps and bruises keeping key players from contributing.

I may be in the minority but I am still of the opinion that DT and WR are major needs in the draft. Ratliff and Austin are quality players but they spend way too much time in the training room.
Garrett to players: Make today a great day; go about the business of winning! If you can't keep up then don't step up.

This was obvious heading into last offseason and the offseason prior to that.

It's ridiculous how Jerry and Stephen are so eager to extend injury-prone players and flash in the pan players.

Austin has one big year. Contract extension.

Scandrick has one strong year. Contract extension.

MBIII has a strong year. Contract extension.

Barry Church gets off to a solid start to the season. Contract extension.

Doug Free has one good year. Contract extension.

The list goes on and on.

They're always having to work around bad contracts. Yet they never learn.
