9-7 what is the plan?

[CowboyStar88]

So after reading the other 2 threads I want some opinions and what you would do for 2015? I don't see us winning the next 3 games. I don't like the matchup with the Bears Wrs and obviously I don't think the Eagles win on Thanksgiving was a fluke. Then you have a red hot Luck coming to town and a team with no pass rush that made Mark Sanchez look like a HOF QB.

So what if this team ends 9-7? With the list of FA we have and Romo turning 35 and probably this biggest collapse in franchise history without any major significant season ending injuries what do you do? Fire JG? Draft a QB? I think we will be at a fork in the road and should consider rebuilding. If the Eagles can compete in 1 year with a new coach and multiple QBs why are we wasting time with JG?

You stop pretending that everyone had this team going 14-2 and try again next year.

Who had them going 14-2? Expectations changed after a 6-1 start. So what's the plan with all the FA? And a collapse never seen by this organization? Pretty legitimate question

"Try again next year".......The mantra of mediocrity

If you don't make the playoffs after a 6-1 start change is going to come. Period.

Not for Jerry Jones. That is the problem.

 

[TheFinisher]

Being that Jerry is the eternal optimist I'd bet on him re-upping Garrett and pointing out our 6 game winning streak (against losing teams) as a reason for "some real positive signs" and half glass full talk.

Most organizations not at the top of the NFL are plus or minus three games from year to year.

That means they could be 5 win teams or 8 win teams.

So your scenario says that 9 wins is great because everyone thought 6.

Brilliant.

I don't understand this low IQ stuff about a 6-1 start. It makes absolutely no difference what order you compile a record. If we started out the year 2-7 no one would be impressed if we finished the season 6-1. I know this will be hard to understand, but look at the record on the last day of the season and make your judgment from there. The start is irrelevant and anyone with an IQ higher than 35 can see that.

Obviously we can't see what is being built. A team that toils in mediocrity, then registers enough wins to qualify for the playoffs in a normal year but gets screwed by bad luck.

That is how dynasties are built, I guess.

The Bears definitely pose problems for this team...but if we lose to the bears, the whole staff should get canned..

That team sucks. Period

 

[Hoov]

If the team goes 9-7 i wii need a break from cowboys football. And my plan will be to ask someone to email me when the nightmare is over

We did that sort of thing when Garrett took over for Phillips and it was seen as a "sign".

I would never suggest looking at wins as the only factor (see NFC South).

lol well here us low hanging fruit guys will explain this in simpler way that you will understand. At 6-1 there is playoff talk and expectations at 2-5 or 2-7 there is no expectation. Can you understand that now? 6-1 to start and not making the playoffs would be the biggest collapse in this Franchises history. So yes it does make a difference

It got Garrett a contract.

And I am sure this will be the mantra. Lamenting about a bad division and how that screwed this year's Cowboy team from getting what it deserved.

Sorry.

We deserve what we get with what we play out with.

If we can't beat the Bears, Eagles, Colts and Commanders to make the playoffs, it is what it is.

Talking about what ifs and so on is nothing but pandering pathetic excuse making.

Not when you have a team/coach with as many late season collapses as this one has had the last several years. That's the difference.

It doesn't make any difference, and please stop embarrassing yourself with this biggest collapse in franchise history nonsense. You're showing your age.

Garrett had this team woefully prepared for the skins and Eagles games. The last Giants game too but Romo bailed him out. Yet Garrett gives interviews telling the world he has created a formula for winning in the NFC East.

He has to go if this collapse continues
