Since Dallas is out of the playoffs, I was pondering on what matters the rest of this season. Truth be told, I have already come to terms with a losing record, but I really want Dallas to take a game against the Eagles and their home game against the Commanders. Getting swept by a Division foe would really rub this season in for me.
 
Not really. I am now watching individual milestones. For example, Ware is 4 sacks short of being 2nd in team History. Witten is nearing 600 receptions. I'd like to finish out of the NFC East cellar. That would be something. Last place is for Commanders.
 
Yes beating the EAGLES twice!! That team fought yesterday!! Tough loss I just can't seem to get over it!! :bang2: :bang2:
 
Seeing Romo back, 100% healthy and knocking the Commanders and Eagles out of the playoffs. ;)
 
Nothing can salvage the season unless you have a Wade Phillips mentality.

I have been pretty swamped caring for a sick family member the last three weeks, so I wasn't even aware of these milestones. Thanks for posting those Hos!
 
I'd like to the team keep playing with a purpose. That may be hard with the playoffs out of reach, but frankly, going 9-7 after Wade was fired was an unreasonable goal. I am pleased with what has happened under Garrett. He in theory won three games, all of which were inspired games. The actual loss to New Orleans was too bad, but not unexpected, given the revenge factor that the Saints brought to Arlington. Then there was the Payton-Jerry rivalry reported last week, and then the fact that the Saints are simply a better team.

I'd like to see some more reserves get some playing time. I'd like to see the Cowboys beat Washington, and the Eagles at least once.

This season isn't over for me, there are a lot of things to watch for, and hope for.
 
The season was salvaged for me the day that Wade was canned, that move alone gave me hope that things were going to get better down the road.

Jason Garrett has already salvaged the season for me.

Knowing that he is gonna be in charge of this franchise from here on out is best holiday gift I could get.
 
Yeah id like to smack around the eagles and Commanders and winning on christmas would be awesome to.
 
If we can beat the Skins and beat Philly once while playing well then I will have some optimism for next year.
 
Play hard, stay competitive. Be in every game, even if they lose. Beat the Commanders and Eagles twice, be spolier for the Eagles and knock them out of the playoffs. The teams I wanted to lose, now I want to win. Like Bears, Packers, Buccaneers and anyone that hurts the Eagles chances.
 
Wow its a disaster of a season, horrible year period, nothing and I mean nothing to like about this year. This may well be the most disappointing season the Boys have ever had. But I guess if not getting blow out (tho they were well on the way) yesterday makes you feel better, whatever.

2 wins with this talent secures his job in your eyes? Why not wait and see the season through to have a more informed decision?

I know it's a difficult position to win in but lets see consistency, game planning and preparation excellence. In game excellence. I liked that we came out fighting, that's a testament to JG's motivation.

Lets get motivated to hold onto the ball though and sit the players who can't for players that can. Lets get motivated to throw deep for the first time on 2nd and 1 on the opposition 40 with 2 minutes to go.

We adjusted well after the first quarter yesterday, but it was obvious to NO how we were going to come into the game on both sides of the ball in the first quarter. Literally 18 minutes overcame the 42 great minutes we played.

We still don't beat teams at home. i don't care who we played. This is our house. Let's put some emphasis on this also. Otherwise I see common traits in this leadership that I see in the recent past one.

3 games, I'm not convinced. I still see the same buffoons starting on the o-line and still the same buffoons in the secondary. Brooking played well yesterday so he doesn't loose snaps to Lee in my opinion. Until he does, than the old man keeps his job.

Ball, Scandrick, well there's been more than enough times teams are abusing these guys. They don't fight back. Sensy has gotten his too but at least the guy is fighting back.

AOA and McCann may need to start seeing more snaps. As long as their efforts are expressed during practice. Time to shake some JAGS up.

Spencer? Maybe Butler needs some more snaps. Lets compete on this team, 100%. Because as a whole, our o-line and our defense does not seem to be built for serious game day competition when it matters most.

A good coach will shake this up right now. Don't fear losing the HC job, fear letting the same heartless players destroy what your heart as HC wants to achieve.

That o-line has no heart. That secondary has no heart and the right side of our pass rush has no heart. Find out who has some heart in those positions and who is willing to put in the work to make a play when we are behind and who is ready to close out a game when we are ahead.

The position coaches can't get their constant erroneous starters to improve where it's condusive to us winning? Than they need to hit the bricks too! Shake this thing right up when need be. We do not tolerate penalties, losing the ball, poor snaps. Letting big plays happen when we should close out. Not getting players to improve their game. We need killer instinct. All facets of this team. The coach that gives me that I want. JG I hope has it. he still needs to prove that.

AMEN, brotha!
 
I want the team to win, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'd take comfort in losses knowing we'd get a higher draft pick.

Aside from that, I want to see Dez Bryant get 1,000 yards receiving. I would also like to see Tashard Choice get more playing time. I doubt Marion Barber will be back. So why not see if Choice can carry the load since, if I'm not mistaken, this is the last season on his current contract?
 
beating the e-girls/Commanders...but i'd settle for:

* a michael vick injury
* another ben ruthlessraper motorcycle accident
* packers or falcons repping the nfc in the super bowl instead of the e-girls or giants ( I hate them too, but not as much)
* a terrorist attack on lincoln financial field. (jk)
* beating the e-girls at home is most important since it'll be my nephew's first game.
