what I have learned is that so far this supposed change of culture is not apparent and certainly is not showing up on the field

4. We still need two quality safeties not counting Church
5. Injuries continue to mount up at key positions
6. The WR core is questionable, at least Dez seems to be coming around
while Miles is retreating South for the winter
7. This team needs a head coach with skins on the wall and more authority
8. Ryan still puts his foot in his mouth, but he is working wonders with
a depleted and turnstyle defense
9. Other fans still hate the Cowboys, so we haven't become irrelevant yet
10. I still love this team
Spot on. Partially agree with the Ryan take. The part where he puts his foot in his mouth.
G.R.O.G. CLEAN HOUSE JJ.

I've learned that Dez & Miles > Julio Jones & Roddy White, by a landslide.

The hard part with this team is figuring out where the weaknesses really are, other than offensive line. Even there, at this point, next year you could have Parnell-Livings-Costa-new guy-Smith. Is it better? Is that good enough? Do we need more?

On defense, it seems like we have too many guys who you can get by with. So which ones go?

You can't win with no OL.

You can't win with dumb players.

You can't win with a ton of injuries.

You can't win with no quality backups.

Romo is the most underappreciated player in the NFL.

Cowboy Stadium still gives us no home field advantage.

We need to move on without Austin, Free and Ratliff.

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.

I'm glad I don't have to make the Anthony Spencer decision. I think it is about 50-50 the decision will be wrong, whether we re-sign him or we let him go.

I hate losing to the Giants. Can we please overhaul the trenches to have a season sweep against them.

while agree with you, these are symptoms of the real disease

1. The coaches completely fall in love with stupid players. It took Ogletree getting a concussion for Harris to get decent playing time, and guess what? He's better. Like we all knew already.

2. We've learned that Garrett is NOT what we've all been led to believe he is. He was supposed to me Mr.-attention-to-detail, yet the penalties are the same and players still don't know where to line-up.

3. The biggest thing I'VE LEARNED is this core group (Romo, Ware, Witten) is just a group of underachievers. I truly believe NONE of these guys will ever get a ring. I should be sad, but I'm not.
