I don’t understand why players, fans, media, coaches or anyone is getting all up in arms over this season.

More than half our starters are out with injury, we are down to third string on the offensive line, the QB is out. No team can be expected to win with these kinds of injuries.

All this getting upset just seems so silly to me. It’s a lost season. Might still make the playoffs cause the East is so terrible, and that’s cool I suppose, but no team can beat good teams when they have this many injuries. Neither coaching nor the 50% of remaining healthy players can change that.

You think injuries are why this defense is one of the worst defenses in the history of the league?

This is the worst defense in the Super Bowl era. Stop making excuses for them. The Eagles won the division with a litany of injuries. They won a Super Bowl with a backup QB.

i think the FEW comments from very small faction of players are the ones that were very loyal to Garett and dont like the changes the new staff have brought in..being resistant to change and to follow direction is what starts the whispers that coach has lost his players..

i think losing has caused this and players will star to be purged that are not fitting in..its slow process to cut players, draft and acquire new ones to get your system up and running..

expectations to think it would be seamless was probably a mistake by fans and maybe even some around the team..

The culture suggests you're a winner just because you're a Dallas Cowboy.

The boss always says great things about the effort and the state of the team no matter how poor the effort.

It's about getting paid...definitely not about wins and losses.

Until that changes (and I dont think it will), I don't see how they will have the hunger to win.

Basically the entire roster has to be turned over, but the root of the problem still remains.

I dont see how this gets fixed within at least the next 5 years....and that's if Jerry decides "his way" isnt the way immediately. So....more like another decade.
