No consequences whatsoever

The biggest issue in Dallas for the last 10 plus years is glaring. We have devolved over time into an organization that's a posh country club that has resoundingly decided that status quo and profit margins are more important than having standards on the field.Losing matters not it seems. Afterall, how should we even expect the team to improve when the coaches and owner...ie the culture doesn't hold anyone accountable? Its all about the brand, not results. Maybe I am wrong. I think we are headed into a very long stretch of further ineptitude if many changes do not happen,and soon. The writing is on the wall.

As a fan, I feel numb at this point. Ownership seems kinda ok with letting things go as is...and its pretty shocking what we witnessed yesterday. I HAVE NEVER SEEN, IN MY 45 YEARS of watching Dallas football..seen a running back walk into our stadium and basically do whatever he wanted all day long...without hardly any resistance. He isn't even a top tier guy!!!! He was playing behind a outmanned oline and we sleep walked on defense. I AM STILL STUNNED.

After every loss we have fans screaming to fire half the coaches and cut half the players.

This isn’t how things work in real life.

Jason Garrett isn’t going anywhere during the season,

Players have consequences. Just not the knee jerk stuff some of you think happens everywhere else but doesn’t actually happen anywhere

lmao..I am usually on board with what you said. BUT what happened yesterday is a road too far traveled...cannot be tolerated. HOW WE LOST THE GAME MATTERS. We must have consequences,without them, nothing changes.

I agree with you. I do.
I just don’t think consequences at this level happen during the season. Maybe a new kicker can be brought in. Garrett won’t be fired. Whether or not he should or should have been years ago is another story. But we all know he won’t be.
So what would be a consequence that helps this team?

Rod Marinelli being fired and Kris Richard lighting a fire under the defense.

Ran like a corporation, not like a football team.

This is 100% correct. When the owner's door is always open for the players, the Head Coach and coaching staff have no stroke. This has been a MAJOR problem since March 30, 1994 and I see no resolution. It won't change with a new coach, because the culture and accountability will remain the same.

A few examples recently are these: Robert Quinn was flagged for a late hit on Rodgers early in the game, that provided GB with a gift 1st down, instead of a 3rd and 9 situation. He remained in the game for the next several plays. Where's the accountability? I watch a ton of games, and after penalties - no matter who the guy is (unless its qb or o-line), they are generally pulled as a show of being accountable for dumb plays.

Anthony Brown ran into the punter against Miami, I know Garrett talked to him on the sideline after it, yet he did the same dumb *** thing again yesterday. Either he is too stupid to learn, or the HC message sure as hell isn't resonating. Maybe a few plays off, or at least removal from punt block would get the message home. Of course, Owner and Son are in these coaches meetings, as they are so happy to tell everyone, so who knows what goes on.

As much as I try to tell myself things might be different, they remain the same. The culture is rotten from the top down, its better to accept it, realize this team will perpetually underachieve and drink heavily during the games.

Agree 100%. I have been saying this for a long time. Maher should be cut already. Fleming should be gone too. Lawrence should sit unless he can prove he is in shape and healthy. The stupid Wold Hunter should be benched. Heath, benched. Chido out, Lewis in. Shake it up.
