I hear you...let's hope like hell they understand that and get it fixed.

Having to come from behind every game is not right, at all.

The handful away is just stupid. You are what your record says you are.
Sorry. I was only five numbers away from being a millionaire last night.
We tell the team we have to move on from success" JG Oh how they have done that.



I know that when we do not have the kind of success, when we don't have expectations lived up to, the one that should get the most heat is the one that ultimately makes the decisions, period, with the Dallas Cowboys. And that's me."

I think you can actually say since 2005.

I could go on and on...but, yeah.

Right on, bro.
Well on those two points, Garrett's time management in the Baltimore game might have cost us a few precious yards that would have allowed the kick to be good.

Re the Giants' game, his lack of preparation helped us fall to a 23-0 deficit.

I know what you mean but if the coach isn't at fault for the slow starts or time management, who is?

Seriously?

You really believe that?

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Coming into the season we all knew the areas with the biggest questions were the center of the OL and the center of the defense.
Oh, bull.

The correct order was 1a) O-line, and 1b) secondary.

We spent big to fix the secondary and tried to piece the OL together with cheaper options. There's this thing called a "salary cap" that makes it impossible to sign anybody and everybody you want.

This seemed to be a sound strategy considering our offense was fairly strong as usual in 2011 while our D completely fell apart.

If you were optimistic about this season entering Week 1 (as many on this board were), guess what?
That means you believed the front office had put our team in a position to be successful.

I can't stand these Captain Hindsight types that come out after the fact and criticize moves just because they didn't happen to work out.

They are actually not that bad at pass protection, well except for Free. Quick passing game, roll outs, etc. Big Ben has made a living behind a bad Oline.

You have got to be kidding.

How come our outstanding D coordinator didn't mask our poor secondary last year? Same principle.

Tony just falls down seven times a game. The Oline is not to blame. It has to be Garrett's or Jerry's fault, because that fits the agenda.

Some people believe in tipping the board over if the game doesn't go their way.

But you tried, bro. At least you did not spend your money on Cowboy stuff.

It's on the head coach...

Are you asking me a trick question?
