Patience is a virtue. If the internet existed during the beginning of the Tom Landry era:
Well, for Landry's first nine seasons:
Landry was well below .500, had several losing seasons, made the playoffs 3 times and never got to the SB. And then greatness was born.
JG is above .500, had only 1 losing season, made the playoffs 3 times and never got to the SB. Yet.
Just saying that in today's world; everyone wants instant gratification.
That Landry fella turned out to be a great one!
Sometimes, you just never know.
Closest coach to Landry is Belichick. They coach with what they have and use the strengths they have that week to the weaknesses of the other team ( I put Reid in same group). The gameplan is changed each week according to the team they will play and in game if necessary. Garrett needs 22 stars and feels if a game plan if executed properly its all you need. He coaches like Chip Kelly (not to mock Kelly-it was his style).
Garrett will say we want to highlight Zeke. Landry would say our opponents #1 cb was out so we came out testing the replacement. When they started giving him help we played to the weakness created by the help. Landry was always thinking. Garrett just executes a plan.
I disagree with the cap statement. Yes it is a harder and a hurdle but Beliichik/Reid is your proof that good coaching can still overcome the cap handicap. The cap leaves every team with a weakness. Play to that weakness-Garrett wont/cant do that
Problem is (as stated many times here) a good coach becomes obvious to the fans and will get the credit which Jerry cant handle.
Switzer sucked. He was sitting on his couch at home and was offered the job. His heart was never in it. Even Aikman said he changed from college to pros.
Jimmy/Parcells got to much credit from Jerry.
We have a good team. A good coach would have us looking a lot better
24th season with getting to the NFCC, let alone a SB. Anyone who follows this team at all has exercised far more patience than reasonable.
The ship is sinking and Garrett and Dak are moving the lounge chairs around while Zeke and Lawrence are sitting down smoking cigars!Look, this last game was just unusual: Penalties, injuries, dropped passes, missed FG's. Everything that could go wrong; did go wrong. And it was frustrating!
We lost to "some darn old" QB...Errr I mean "SAM DARNOLD" QB.
But, you have to give the Jets credit. They had a sound game plan and came to play.
Now: Why do I call it an aberration?
If you would have made last weeks picks based on the higher ranked teams from Aikmans efficiency ratings you would have lost only 2 games.

The Two Exceptions:
1. Cowboys ranked at #3 lost to the Jets ranked at #30 (This is unusual)
2. Bucs ranked #14 lost to the Panthers ranked at #15 (This is not unusual. These two teams were ranked barely apart in overall efficiency).
THE SHIP ISN'T SINKING!
We have an efficient team which equals success. Aikman has it right!
With that being said: I want to see them play as a TEAM. NEVER play as individuals.
Historically we had played horrible against the Jets in the past four games we played them I think we won one and that was in Dallas if I'm not mistaken but I could be
Well said!!!!!!!!!!!!

You couldn't be more wrong. Every year I hope the Cowboys win the Super Bowl but if they don't I don't turn into a fair weather fan and start a bunch of negativity. Tell me does all of the negative posts change a single tiniest of things with the Cowboys? No, all it does is show that someone who claims to be a fan really isn't a fan all the time. The name for that is fair weather fans.

You're a really delusional homer. We could lose by 30 against new England.I looked ahead at our schedule. It will be difficult for those other teams to win against us. As long as we can get and stay healthy.
I dont believe in what Bill Parcells says about your record. The Cowboys were a fraud at 3-0. And people around here were laughing and calling Buffalo a fraud.
Yes, but only the previous week. Last year when we were 3-5, that’s what we were, a very bad team. At the end of the year, we were also what our record said we were, a very good team, a hot team that no one wanted to face.You don't believe teams are what their record says they are?
The one that sticks out in my mind as we were leading and Romo throws two interceptions and the Jets score to beat us we had that game in the bagGood point. CB 61 . If you look back at my posts you'll find that I had a feeling about that game. Except the Jets O-Line. I thought we could exploit that.
Ignore my "just for fun games": I always give the Cowboys opponents "0's"/goose-eggs in those. Until we finally DO shut someone out. I've been waiting for that.
We’re on a 3 game losing streak and you’re calling the last loss an “aberration?”
