I know it sounds wrong. I'm just as annoyed with the loss as anyone but a strange part of me has the sense of closure this morning. I know there is a still a chance we make the playoffs but unless that turns into a SB title the odds of this staff being back and the distractions that derailed the system are slim. Jerry was embarrassed last night, whether you believe it's his own fault or not the bottom line is he was embarrassed. I'm holding onto hope he has realized that you can't "develop" coaches as he was trying to in Jason Garrett and that hiring from the good old boys club as he did with Wade Phillips isn't always whats best for the team although it may be easier on him.

More this season then any I think the weaknesses of this team are obvious. They started to address them last year by adding speed on offense with Felix. I hope that trend continues as well as shoring up the 3rd phase of the game in special teams and putting a stop to the turn stile that is the FS and SS position.

I just really get the feeling that this will be the game that broke Jerry's back. Right now there is no excitement and everyone knows that's no way to open a new stadium. Jerry simply can not go into 09', into a new stadium and into a new season status quo and the expect the results he is looking for.

Speaking for myself, if everything was the same going into next season I would have trouble finding any reason to expect anything different. Yes Wade bought confidence with a 13-3 season despite the playoff loss but more then anything he bought himself this year and the result is simply a let down. The sad part, I'm not so much sure it's Wade Phillips as it is his assistants but just like in the past, he refuses to part with his guys and let them go which will ultimately be his down fall once again.

Except for a few people who I really need to start making business deals with.

No I will, to express my disgust with this season. I have every right to be Negative Nancy just as you do to be Homer Henry.

The biggest problem I have with Wade is that he did not know he should take over the defense until the media, and players said something.

Did he not know that this wasn't his D? It's just poor management.

It took hime 1 1/2 seasons to figure it out.

actually, I won't be here as i'll be traveling and was disappointed that the game didn't get flexed. I'll be cheering for our Boys in spirit. I just have no confidence that this team can go up to Philly and win. We lost the opportunity to control our own destiny to a rookie QB.

Exactly, I knew that Rams game would come back to haunt us more than Philly's tie. If the defense had been playing at the level they are now, then, even with Brad Johnson, we could've won that game.

Rant away, but it seems to me if the season was over, you would be wasting your time. Is there some other facet of the team you need to put down, maybe a coach someone missed wanting to fire or player that no one has mentioned that needs to be cut? Maybe you can break new ground and want the scouting department fired- they haven't been mentioned yet.

So thanks for playing, but we've heard it all.




Nothing quite like the bunched-panty ranting of disappointed Cowboy fan who wants to express to the world how he really wanted to win.

Exactly. Notwithstanding the two backbreaking plays of last night, can you imagine the results of last year if Wade had been calling the D all along the way our offense was playing?

Yes, hindsight is 20/20, but still...

I'm here year round? Love the Cowboys and I don't see a bad time not tot alk about them. The draft is one of my favorite times of the year. Do you leave this board after the season?

I think all the problems have been addressed. I do think losing Felix Jones for the season is BIGGER then anyone has mentioned. We really miss the speed. The scouting dept has actually done a great job.

No problem, thanks for reading and encouraging me to post by responding despite hearing it all before.

Lost is in like if we were to cross paths again I would need to find you or lost as in confused about a simple comparison of ranting Cowboys fans?

I would hate to literally lose you, I really think our confrontations are good for my health, they allow me to vent.:p:
