Mike Tomlin won his first game yet he was telling his team they have to get better. In all phases of the game. Learning to get better is going to be a must, he said. Dallas coaches. We looked good. I see good things out there??? WHAT???? That's why we need a hardnosed no non sense head coach like Tomlin. I for one don't think Big Mac Mike was a good coach pickup for our team. And speaking of Mike just as I asked about Garrett when he was here. "Can somebody tell me exactly what is Mike's job. What does he do to help the team out? He's not a defensive coordinator for sure. We have Moore running the offense. So what does Mike do?? Serious Question. I mean put Moore at head coach what do we miss????

To the GM:facepalm: Why does he keep taking chances on questionable type character players? Boss man IMO is one of them. The guy seems to want to be a rapper more then a corner. Reminds me of the Lakers former player Kyle Kuzma. Has talent but the head is more focused on being a trend setter rapper type more then basketball. I'll give Boss man another season to prove he's not like this but the rope will be short if I were the GM.

Still wish we would of gotten one of those pot bellied defensive linemen. I'm talking 340 plus. I was watching different games Sunday and when teams did try to run. Those big suckers shut the run down. We saw what Veda did for the Bucks. He basically threw Conner around in those key situation like a bag of stale chips. And I was watching Quinn yesterday and he said it wasn't Browns fault on the one long TD pass. He said a guy fell down and the safety went to check his man when he should of been helping deep. Quinn laughed and said the lesson learned here is I shouldn't had called the play there. I said to myself. These coaches are killing us more then the opponents. It's just the first game but i think Mike needs to get tougher with this team. No more smashing watermelons . How about heads and arses. At least Quinn said " there were no moral victories Thursday". But all things being equal I like Quinn. Seems like a great guy. Hope he turns us into a great defense.

It’s no different than the fans on this board. They think Dallas played well week 1. Depending on what you expected, they may have surpassed expectations, but they didn’t exactly play well. They had no business really being in a position to win the game and they still blew it.

Have a friend who is a die hard Steeler fan and he complains about Tomlin all the time. His biggest complaint? The Steelers typically play down to their opponents level, sounds a lot like this team when it was ran by Carrot.

I am not the biggest fan of Big Mike but he is an upgrade from what we had previously.

That's my concern. Seems it was the same way with Jason Garrett teams. They played well enough to win but half the time they didn't. For me Mike is Jason Garrett 2.0

LMAO... how many playoffs and Super Bowls has Tomlin been in since he's been a head coach in Pittsburg? Your friend would be suicidal if he were a Cowboy fan in that same time span:laugh:

If the Cowboys coaches and players, and especially the GM, really believe they were good enough last Thursday, then you have a point. But we don't really know what they are thinking. They may be thinking they have big problems too.

On the other hand, is it possible that they played as well as they can ever play last Thursday because that is who they are?

I don't think this team has done enough at DT to ever have a good defense, but they are young at the position. Maybe they get lucky and Bohanna turns out to be that big fat guy who can push the pocket. I doubt it but maybe.

BS Dallas had no business being in a position to win? that is load of crap. Cowboys played well vs a SB champ on their home field. Clearly they did not do enough to win and there is no reason to celebrate a loss but nothing to hang their heads down either. week 1 of a 17 week season it is far from over.

It may have to do with everyone saying it would be a slaughter….nobody confuses the Cowboys with being as good as the Tampa Bay Bucs so yeah some fans are optimistic they didn’t get beat. Now if they lose to a Chargers team? That’s a cause for concern.

It’s silly to judge the coaching staff because we have no idea what they told the players.

I do wonder why some fans even bother. Watching the Cowboys is a job lol. Why even bother if you are that miserable?

Dallas was out played in every statistical category imaginable outside of turnovers. Godwin doesn’t fumble inside the 5 and Dallas never sniffs a chance at winning. They were thoroughly outplayed in the red zone as well. It wasn’t as close as it looked. Even when tb gave them the game on a silver platter, Dallas managed to screw it up.

That is what coaches normally say after a victory. You don't want your team getting too cocky after a win, you also don't want them getting depressed after a loss. If you don't know all the things a head coach does I'm not going to go through them all. You really think he has no input whatsoever on the game? Why does every team have a head coach then? You really think our team is the only one with a head coach who "does nothing"?

What have you seen that makes you think Joseph wants to be a rapper more than a football player? Because he has an interest outside of football? I guess Brady just wants to be an actor then because I've seen him in commercials. Some of you all crack me up. You think these guys should just be football focused 24/7 365 days a year. They have lives outside of the game. Are you just working every hour of your waking existence or thinking about work? That's a sad life.

On defense players have assignments. There's a good chance that play wasn't all on Brown. Like Quinn said, Brown was supposed to have help and he was in the trailing position. If the safety was where he was supposed to be, that play likely doesn't happen. But a dude tripped and the safety went to help there, can't fault them too much for that I guess.

You listen to the media press conferences too much it seems. You really think they are saying the same things to players behind closed doors?

100 Bro you saved me typing

some coaches say things in the media to try and not put panic in the league and keep their real thoughts in the HOUSE, families dont typically air their dirty laundry out in publics.. they do it in private..Idiotic fans make these wholesale judgements over some bs they get in media sessions..

its moronic to make judgments when you dont live in that house and hear what really is being said.. so yes the op is just that,...

I don't understand why so called Dallas fans thought we'd get slaughtered by Tampa. I posted on the prediction thread they'd beat Tampa 33-31. So yea. I was mad. I expected them to win!!
