Yep and we were 2-2 and last night started the season. It was gross. I know with the injuries and no Dak it’s going to be really hard. But that looked like the worst game so far. Is Dalton going to be this bad

Dalton surprised me.......I actually spent all week pimping him coz I certainly thought he would play better.

so we ran a basic scheme under Garrett because these basic players can't graps more complex schemes and the coaches were in too deep with these r-words. And it appears the new coaching staff wants to take several different steps and several steps forward with the same basic players and now they're disgruntled. Sounds like it fits right into society and its problems, blaming everyone else but looking at themselves first.

Well why wouldn’t you think he would be playing good. Look at what he did when Dak went out. Brings us back and wins the game. I saw none of that type play last night. I know they were bringing pressure but wow. I heard his only TD was late in the game. All teams will be blitzing and trying to rip the ball from Elliot. He is gonna have to concentrate holding onto the ball a lot more. Or play Pollard. I don’t think he is as good as Dak but also didn’t think the drop off between the 2 was that big, but I may have been wrong.

Here's my problem, I do think there is a problem with the coaching but that's not my problem. I think there's a coaching problem on at least another half dozen teams

McC coaches for 13 years and even has an on the field altercation with Rodgers but nary a word is leaked to the media and we don't think they were drilling for that? Nolan has coached for 10 different teams and never did any player leak anything blaming the coaching for their awful play. But this damned Cowboys team has a back shooting coward on it and if we are to believe the story, multiple ones.

So, having had my fill of these spoiled overpaid and coddled aholes, I now have a new favorite team, any team playing this team. I already get a kick out of Booger's sourpuss face after a loss so it won't be hard to take the next step.

And don't give me that it's only one or two players, only cowards don't have their coaches' backs. And I do not think Slater would fabricate this anymore than Werder did. There's something really rotten with this team and it stinks like humping skunks.

Can't blame Dalton for that cluster. They screwed up the beginning of the game, again, and had to throw the strategy out the window and for a backup, that is a tall order. He also didn't drop that TD pass, ot was right on the mark.

The problem with all of this is the blame game. Blame Dalton, blame Elliott, blame Gallup, blame the coaches, it was a team loss and the only way they climb out of this is as a team. That's why this pisses me off so much, I hate this kind of thing because it's cowardly. A player has a problem with a coach, he takes that up within the team. Was this the coward's way of delivering a message to the Joneses? Hell, the aholes are around the locker room for meetings, pull them aside and whine to them and let them deal with it within the team. Unless this is part of their plan.

I have a real hard time thinking Slater does this story before running it by the Joneses. She runs the risk of that ESPN reporter getting tossed out of the Rams reporting when she got caught in that lie about Michael Sam. The reporter that covers the Cowboys for any sports outlet gets the highest profile, would she risk that?

It was time for Garrett to go, three years ago, not during the year of a pandemic. Guarantee if Garrett were here, we'd be winning a lot more games.

Wait, so when Garrett was let go you think the Jones’ should have anticipated a global pandemic, lol?

Agreed he didn’t allow them to score 38 points. Every team will be doing the same thing to us. Bring the house and strip Elliot. Our Defense started off pretty ok. But when we didn’t start putting points in the board they got discouraged and the doors opened. There qb didn’t play that good. But we played worse. The whole team and staff..

And slater has posted things that turned out untrue before. But I do think the implosion is starting.

Nope.

One of advantages of being a head coach in Green Bay is that it is literally 2+ hours from anywhere and no member of the Wisconsin press corps is ever going to report anything too negative about the "community owned" Packers. It is more like being a college head coach.

I mean do folks really think Favre started doing things like sending his dick picks only when he was traded to the Jets?

Or might it be that in NYC that sort of stuff gets reported, while in GB it gets overlooked?

Anyway, during his 13 years in GB, Big Mac's press conferences mostly consisted of softball questions lobbed at him while the compliant press kept telling the fans that beating the mighty Bears, Lions, and Bears and winning the NFC North most years should be good enough for them.

I was very interested to see how Big Mac would handle the closer scrutiny of being the coach of the Cowboys.

I am not surprised that closer scrutiny has exposed his flaws.

Wow, this on the team that already has required coverage from the sports talk people?

This is one of those situations that any GM worth his salt will quell immediately.

Y'all remember how easy that embarrassment of a team that turned on Wade made it for the media and the results from that?

There was a very effective message delivered in WWII about people talking too much and it applies here. "Loose lips sink ships".

Fire the GM

Not at all. Just Schadenfreude that even when Jerry tries to do the right thing, it is epically and hilariously wrong.

And also, a lot of leaders are indeed canned because of things they couldn't anticipate or didn't have anything to do with. It's unfair, but it happens.
