Waste of Talent and Time

Last night's game proved what I have stated all along:
  1. You can not win with unavailable and unreliable players on defense
  2. You can not improve on defense with out DT strength to stop the run and push to collapse the QB pocket
  3. You can not make more than one bad coaching decision in a game to win when you do not have talent
  4. You can not keep doing the same things that have not worked expecting it to work (insanity).
  5. You run to win and pass to score on offense
  6. You win with defense and score more points with offense.

Jerry Dumbo GM Jones thinks football head coaches are not important as he is as the Dumbo GM.

Vander Esch was unavailable, Sean Lee unavailable, and unreliable players like Gregory is on the way to ensure there is no continuity on defense. Cowboys did not keep LB Bernard, let alone Hitchens and Wilson when they know you have unavailable players continuing being benefiting with membership to Jerry Jones Country Club. With defensive plan like we saw vs. the Rams, how long do you thing the mental stability of Griffin and Smith will last? Bring on Randy Gregory the poster child of unreliable.

The Cowboys DTs are 2 rookies, unavailable Crawford, and 2 unreliable players in Woods and Poe. The Rams OL continued to blow them off the line of scrimmage. If you do not invest in DL like OL you get the lost of games like the Rams.

Excluding Landry, Johnson, and Parcells, The Cowboys Head Coach position has been unstable and without competency. Your team is driving down the field shredding the Rams defense before halftime, and you call a time out to give the Rams time to re-establish. Until the 4th quarter, you make no defensive adjustment to deal with misdirection plays (see the reason why Landry created the flex read and react defense) and Jimmy Johnson created the Miami attack 4-3 defense. You either are going to read and react or you are going to dictate on defense. You don't do what you did last night by not adjusting and doing nothing but given up yards and points. This was bad coaching no.1.

Bad Coaching no. 2, the Cowboys finally in hurry up offense shredding the Rams defense before halftime, the Cowboys call a time out to stop momentum with +:1:30 left before halftime. Don't ice your kicker and don't ice your offense (they scored a TD). Bad Coaching no. 3 never go for it on 4th down, on the road, with +:12:00 left to play, behind only by a field goal and pass on a 17-18 yard field goal. That is just dumb. Bad Coaching no. 4 if you are not going to feed Elliott, trade him and proceed with what you want to do. To not give the ball to Elliott on run plays and out the backfield with screen plays against a Rams pass rush is bad coaching. If your OL has problems, run the ball and call screen plays. The Cowboys can not win close ball games with bad coaching decisions.

The Rams are not a world beating team. They have Floyd who the Bears let go because he was not stout against the run. The Cowboys did not run. They have a LB core that is suspect and the Cowboys did not attack with passing to the RBs even with the lost of the TE.

The Cowboys again are doing the same things they did in the late 90's, early 2000's and in the Jason Garrett era. Nothing has change but the date on the calendar. Waste of talent and time.

Just can’t find that magic in close games for some reason.

One play here and there can literally mean the difference between 7-9 and 11-5.

Defense is overwhelmingly underwhelming. You’re right about it being dumb to rely on unreliable players; the cowboys seem to make a habit of that.

I have hope, but the defense really scares me.

I do not know what this post means but if it is a refresher on week one, here it is:

Detroit - rookie RB dropped the winning TD in the end zone with seconds to play. Matt Stafford almost had another comeback victory
Washington - Defense wins games and offense scored enough points. Team motivated by HC taking IV at halftime battling cancer to be with team.
Dallas - Lost again with bad coaching, unreliable and unavailable players in close games.

When they showed the DL get blown 3-4 yards back on a zone block right play, I had flashbacks to the 2018 playoff game.

There is a reason why Tex, Gil, and Tom chose a DT with the first pick in Dallas Cowboys history.

Since Dallas advanced to the NFC championship game in 1995
none of the teams I listed has been there...

It was in reference to the thread title...

Thanks and I agree with you.

However, the other teams were not that talented. The Cowboys had an NFL record 13 Pro Bowlers on the 2007 team. Cowboys have T.O. in the Hall of Fame and are going to end up with Demarcus Ware, and Jason Witten in the Hall of Fame and Romo in the Ring of Honor (Jerry will probably get him in the HOF) with nothing to show for it.

I cannot say the same for Washington and Detroit. But the Cowboys has a grocery list of reasons they failed with talent

This has been the most waste of talent and my time since 1994. If I was not trying to teaching my youngest son and grandson to be Cowboy fans, I would have called this dog dead the day Jerry fired Jimmy Johnson.

Why are you wasting your time around here? Apparently you know we suck, so why bother? Unless you're into that kinda stuff, that's cool, I don't judge. Keep wasting your time around here or move on, hmmmmmmmm. I think I'll stick around, what are you doing?

Because unlike Jerry Jones, who saw the Cowboys as his family toy, I invested time in the Cowboys with my Grandfather in the late 60's, father in the 70's-2010 , oldest son born 1992, daughters born 1994 and 1997, youngest son 2006, and Grandson born last year with Cowboys outfit as his first uniform, and a wife that put up with a husband following the Cowboys from dating to a +28 year marriage.

So I am going to stay around to remind everyone that the Cowboys was founded on excellence at GM, Personnel Director, and Head Coach. They built Defense, then created the offense of the 20th and 21st century. The Cowboys used to get the best at HC and not use the HC leadership position as brown nose convention for Jerry Jones butt. The Dallas Cowboys were not a Country Club for Jerry members only. The Dallas Cowboys were truly America's Team when players like Staubach, Renfro, Hayes, Lilly, Dorsett, White, Jones, Pearson, Irvin, Smith, and Aikman made America Great. When a player like Walt Garrison said the hole in Texas Stadium roof was so God could see his favorite team play, I understood that at 3PM CST God was watching his team and the Cowboys were going to put their best effort in front of God and Country as America's Team.

So until you have invested like me with the Dallas Cowboys, don't ask me why I bother, why keep wasting time, or tell me to move on. Because you do not know who, what, where, when, why, or how the Dallas Cowboys are America's Team.

I do and you don't. Therefore, because of my investment, and knowledge, I will not accept anything but excellence from the Dallas Cowboys, America's Team.

Stopped reading after you aid they did not keep Wilson and Hitchens....I'm not gonna sit here and read no drivel like that.

I stopped reading when I seen...what I have stated all along....Just another call out post. Been seeing a lot of crap like this.

Put some dude on ignore last night as he said he was cancelling his account but kept TROLLING...so don't care if he cancelled or not. He should have been banned at least from the thread.

I bet all of these posters may have wanted a game like that and just waiting to comment. Just seems like that is the way many are anymore.

It is ok to say what they feel, say it all they want, debate about it. But when they say ..I told you so...it is trolling...

I've hosted about 10 Cowboys legends at my ranch, I don't just ogle them from afar. They are regular people and don't need their butts kissed. Jeez, how old are you???? I quit looking at these guys as Gods when I grew up.

wow one of many ridiculously over exaggerated after one game with no real off season and new staff and bunch of new players..add injuries' before the game and during, cant happens .. some people need some clonozapam,,CALM DOWN..

this site 70% after games is so insanely emotional and inaccurate knee jerking its becoming a joke..

im glad we WERE able to have a football season, and its ONE LOSS, ONE GAME...

saw a stat the other day that the 2years weve been to the playoffs with Dak weve started off with loss..

we turned 3-5 to a second round playoff berth with Garett..

take deep breath
