bottom line: 7 more games in the WAde/REd era: they'll miss the playoffs and both be gone. Never more sure about that than after today. I was NOT convinced after we beat Philly and wanted to see us play GB tough today: instead we took the fetal position: completely humiliating really....is Wannstedt available from Pitt? (no........i'm not serious)

And now you understand why. What an absolute abortion of a game Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett called today. In my nearly 20 years as a fan I have NEVER seen an NFL team look more unprepared, unfocused and unmotivated. Dave Campo had his teams more ready to play than Wade and Garrett did today. I'm officially done with Jason Garrett, the guy was a flash in the pan who is either unwilling or unable to make quality in-game adjustments. Say all you want about execution, our offense rarely had a chance today because of playcalling. Once again, we decided to stop doing things that were working (running, screens) in favor of looking for the big play, even when it was clear it wasnt our day for downfield throws. The ultimate blame however lies with the head coach, who once again looked lost on the sidelines when things werent going his way. I don't know how people can keep defending him, nor do I understand why I was accosted for suggesting he still had to prove a lot after last week's win. The guy has done this everywhere he has been, he's in his 60s, and he isnt going to change. He is what he is, an average coach who gets too excited when things go his way, too down when things go wrong, and is completely relient on his player's skill level to get the job done. Wade Phillips rarely outcoaches people (Garrett never does) and yet people continue to defend him. Green Bay is a BAD football team. They lost to Tampa Bay by 10 points. They have the worst line in football. They were 4-4 without a win over a "good" team. And that team jsut kicked the **** out of us in every phase of the game.

Now, the blame does not lie entirely with the coaches here. Roy Williams...what else is there to say about this guy? He is worse than a wasted roster spot: He is a guy who hurts this team more often than he helps them. A couple of crucial drops today and the fumble on a huge pass play, a play in which he thought it would be fun to carry the ball like a loaf of bread in an attempt to gain 5 more yards. The guy is a very talented player who is as stupid as NFL players. He is clearly unwilling to improve his route running, his hands or his decision making and seems content to try and live on talent alone. That may have worked in college, but you're not at Texas anymore buddy. You're an NFL receiver and right now, you are just awful in every phase of the game.

Our offensive line was just atrocious today, we looked worse than the "worst" O-Line in the league. Zero blame lies with Romo in this one, he never had a damn chance, and when he had time he made plays. Probem was, they were either dropped or fumbled more often than not.

Penalties...Jesus Christ, it just isnt a Wade Phillips coached team without stupid ****ing penalties all game long. We are the sloppiest team in football, and that is directly related to coaching.

Like I said, I have faith in these players (outside of Roy Williams), but I still lack faith in this staff's ability to consistently put them in position to win. I know a certain few posters will come over here and call this undue negativity, hostile will run around all week playing the part of Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf telling everyone that everything is ok and we will be just fine, and by next sunday most will show up expecting to see something different. It just baffles me how a guy who has done this EVERYWHERE HE HAS BEEN is still getting defended by a fanbase that has clearly accepted mediocrity. This is a serious problem that will cost us again down the stretch, as it always has and always will as long as he and Garrett are coaching here.

Didnt even read your post, but blaming this on coaching is asinine and ignorant.

Players did not execute the times they were in position to make plays. How that is the coaches fault I dont know, not to mention our injuries.

if he used an inch or 2 more of his 40" vert, he could have caught it

a difficult pass, but one a #1 WR should make

Not true.....there are many passes that could be caught that would be great plays. But this one was not a drop.

Aikman, upon looking at it again, even agreed.

Great teams don't come out and lay eggs like this. even if you struggle with a mediocre opponent you stillgrind out the win if you are a great team.

Too many chokers on the staff and roster. This team is afraid of success.

We weren't running the ball for **** today. Did you look at any of the runs we had today. The first run of the day by Barber was good but after that not much.


MB3 averaged over 5 yards a carry.

Because it is quite clear that Choice should handle the load, w/ Felix as 3rd down back...Barber on goal line and short yardage.

Marion is no threat to run more than 7-10 yards. It's like Moose Johnston as your feature back !!!

I'm actually not too down on this lost either.

the games when we lost by a last second field goal, or a Brandon Marshall catch, those hurt.

But a game like this one?

Eh.. you just count it as one of those Sundays where you just happen to be on the losing end of the stick.

The Defense played very well, but the penalties on both sides of the ball limited our playcalling and put us in a non run/non win situation.

We will learn from this game, because remember fellas it's not about who's the best team in November, to me it's about December and the playoffs. Obviously this team has something it needs to fix and thankfully we still have the time to fix it.

Plus we're still in first place and have a chance to fix our problems without losing too much ground. I don't think there will be too many Sundays where the Cowboys offense fails to convert third downs like we saw today.

We just simply do not have a championship level coaching staff. 11 rushes. Garrett falls in love with the passing to much. I'm ready to send him off to sunset. Defense did ok. Do not like the 3rd down defense today though.

Roy had his first 100 yard game today for what it's worth. Bad day for the receivers.

Yep typical outing for a Lion WR.
