I knew you would disagree, simply because you thought they were healthy.

There were many guys who played, but weren't healthy.
And we all know Philly didn't have any players out there banged up.

LOL Hos, that was the game that showed me Wade has lost this team, but hey.....it's JJ's train wreck to fix.

Actually, that play where Romo tossed it to Witten, who tossed it to TO showed me that Jason Garrett was the one they gave up on. Stuff like that happens when your coaching is doing nothing..

What perplexing is that the team quitting is just the cherry on a giant crap sundae this team made last year, yet we see very few changes coming. 90% of the personnel will be back. Most of the coaches will be back, except for 2, one of whom was in effect replaced well before the Philly game.

So in reality, the only major difference between the team that embarrassingly quit in Philly and didn't make the playoffs vs. the one that takes the field come September is a new ST coach.

Good luck with that, Jerry.

Didn't suggest that, at all. Don't particularly give a rat's patootie about Philly and their injuries.

Just saying the "no excuses" mantra around here is a bit idiotic when injuries were indeed a factor in the team's performance.

I think we can all agree that the players gave a piss-poor effort in the Philly game, injured or not. However, from a retrospective look back at the season, I just don't see how one can't get that injuries were a factor in how the team played and adjustments they had to make.

Frankly you have to start to quit.


That was the first thing I thought when I read this thread subject.


There may have been 53 Dallas Cowboys in Philadelphia on that particular game day, but it was very hard to tell there was a professional football team lined up against the Eagles.

Several Philly players said Dallas just quit in the 2nd half...pathetic...

I can handle getting beat, but quitting...this is the team that was suppossed to contend?

Could this year have been any worse...you want the power Jerry, correct it...

The Cowboys quit after the two big runs in the Ravens game, the Philly game was just something on the schedule, but we didn't really show up to play.

I don't think they quit in the Balt game. They just tackled and executed poorly at the end of the game. Conditioning comes to mind as well as piss poor tackling and execution. If you want to add heart I won't mind.

In other news, the Pope is catholic and the Kennedys are gunshy.

maybe because many still believe that injuries is what derailed our season

We weren't any more injured that most. The Raven ended up with 18 to our 7 and still came in here with a rook QB and handed it to us. Walters has a list of all IR guys for all teams as of Jan 1 2009 http://BAN-INCOMING-IN-3-2-1/injuryreportnfl.php

Yes, the Ravens did have a larger number of total injuries, but only a handful of the them were starters, and none of them were as important to their team as Romo is to ours, so it's not exactly a worthwhile comparison.

So who's fault is it we had Brad to begin with, the QB fairy?

Not only did we quit, but the worst part was WHO WE QUIT AGAINST!!

Those maggots already have that game in their trophy case as one of the "top 5" Eagle wins of all time. Of course, that's what happens when you can't win a Championship SB Ring. You consider beating the snot out of Dallas in a meaningful regular season finale' an historic moment...........

But never-the-less, how DARE we lose to those gutter-snipers in that fashion!?!?!?!? THAT'S the bigger part of my anger.............WHO it happened against. Tom Landry is turning in his grave. That crap would've NEVER HAPPENED in any REAL Cowboy/Eagle universe.

I guess NOW it's reality, and we have to deal with it. How embarrassing......

The entire front office.

Is this a trick question?

Also, I'm not just talking about 3 games.

I would think the #1 target for your rookie QB is pretty important

and he still beat us w/ one arm

I agree wholeheartedly with the embarrassing part.

I thought about this today.

I just still can't believe what I saw.

And to think the only "change" since last year was Wade has now been told to hush hush, and we released Pac.

Well, I guess not re-signing Tank counts for something.

rofl. This is what we are stillll talking about?

1st F the idiot eagles. They won so they can say whatever they want but they still have zero championships. Our own fans buying into them is just stupid beyond belief.

2nd The final quarter was 3-0 in our favor... did the Eagles quit?

We got whupped and whupped bad, that's it, End of story, end of season it is well past time to move on.

BTW, the injury arguments are going no where...; if people are too dense to realize the injuries Dallas had at the positions they did then they are beyond rational thought.
