Game Day ***Cowboys vs Panthers post game thread***

[Dave_in-NC]

This oline deal is baffling me... 3 first rd picks and a guy who should've gone in the first round. They play like a middle of the road line, and sometimes look down right terrible. How is this even remotely possible

The clapper wasn't satisfied with the O line coach. Here we are.

Well that was short lived. 5 days ago it was "Let's get a top 5 pick and get a new QB. We're done." 4 days ago it was "Let's win this division and get another Super Bowl. Finish the fight." Today it's "Let's get a top 5 pick and get a new QB. We're done."

A lot of us knew the season was over since no 2-7 team has ever made the playoffs...............some held on to the belief that this team and coaching staff were actually good (outside of Romo, who clearly is not himself)

That belief has now vanished for even the most hardcore fans.....................pretty much everybody understands the season is officially done now, no more stupid "just believe" threads like fans believing or not believing actually makes a differences when fans don't actually suit up on Sunday.

It also protected Romo from Romo. The year before than fan base was apoplectic at how many times per game Romo threw the ball. I am remembering that correctly?

Oh yea. I saw the old Romo today. He tried to do too much. This team was set up great last year. I don't know why they changed what wasn't broken. They have to get back to it next year. It not only protects Romo from Romo but it protects him from taking too many hits.

Dude, you're a CEO? But you don't even know that Tom LANDRY was the coach of this team at one time? This is a joke right?

ok, ok ok, I spelled it wrong, I admit it. I messed up. I was so deep into my thought process about my post that I forgot how to spell his name. But that did make me laugh tho. That was kind of funny how I'm talking about him as an Icon and misspelling his name. I'm just a little upset with Jerry right now so you got to give me some love for the passion.

But everything I said about Landry came from the heart. I'm just not a good speller. Fortunately you don't have to spell to do my job or I'd be broke. Lol

 

[Novacek84]

No but this fan base acts like if we don't have Vince Lombardi as our coach and we are going to win the super bowl every year it's unaccabtable.

The other 31 teams are trying to win this too. Look I'm frustrated too, but tho whole fanbase is way too entitled.

I'm not asking for Vince and I'm not asking for a SB every year. What I am asking from the marquee franchise in the NFL is to hire a coach that allows the team to be competitive in the playoff race almost every year and not look like amateur hour on the sideline. That's not entitled. That's what every fan base should expect from their team.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and the Garrett family are very close. Jim Garrett scouted for the Cowboys for 22 years—on and off from 1974 until his retirement in 2004. Jason’s brother John is the team’s tight ends coach, and another brother, Judd, is the team’s assistant director of pro personnel. And the bond between the Garretts and Jones is tighter than mere employee-employer.

Don’t buy into the caricature of Jones. Family and personal relationships drive many of his decisions. In 2007, Judd Garrett’s wife died suddenly. Jones made his personal jet available to the family. The plane was used at least 10 times—and Judd worked for the Rams at the time, not the Cowboys.

Garrett gets treated like gold in Valley Ranch.. All the excuses in the world..

I'll leave you with this. A lot of this fan base deserves the Jones'. If you're of adult age and you're still pitchforking coaches over the death of the Cowboys, you truly deserve to have this Owner, GM and that VP of Personnel. You are the type of fan they need to continue this charade.

You will get your wish. One day. Probably not now. Garrett will go. And nothing will change. Only the name on your next rant.

Coaching changes are a regular part of life across the entire NFL. It is not a crime to want a better coach when the one you have obviously is not the right fit. Don't forget BobKraft was dumb enough to run off Parcells but simply got lucky when he begged Belichick to come to him and leave the Jets. Bad ownership is all over the NFL. The Bidwells in Arizona are considered bad but they finally got a guy in Arians that has straightened out that team.

If anyone hates Jerry as much as me, I'd give it to you, but you are partially right. Jerry is the main problem but...

Jerry + weak coach = team with no direction, no real accountability, and mostly losses.

Jerry + strong coach with contractually obligated authority = a team that can win

If we hire another coach who lets Jerry walk all over him and walkie talkie down commands to the sideline, you are exactly right, nothing will change.

If we hire a coach who is smart enough to negotiate that Jerry has to sit in the corner, we might have a chance.

I just hope it doesn't take another 20 years to find a good coach.

Parcells brought this organization back from the dead. The only problem we had there is that he didn't have enough juice left.

And Jerry forcing Terrell Owens on him didn't help.

That was the beginning of the end.

 

[PoundTheRock]

I really don't get the Owens thing either. The offense wasn't a problem (well, sometimes Bill was too conservative, but so are like 95% of all NFL coaches). But I guess Jerry just had to have the headlines.

 

[CowboyChris]

I am thoroughly embarrassed that I'm not wasting my time complaining with the masses about the coach of the month and instead realize where the cancer really lies.

I should be like you. Blaming it on Garrett. Like you blamed it on Wade. Like you blamed it on Parcells, Campo, Gailey, Switzer. Like you'll blame it on the poor schmuck who eventually succeeds Garrett.

you need to find another team, cause this team will always be ran by a Jones.

I agree with you man, but we certainly did that last year and I'm pretty sure if our QB didn't go down we would have this year. Can we not agree we would be with romo healthy? Just find it hard to blame a coach when you have a team built for one driver then had two new guys flailing at the wheel.

This would hold water if teams ALL around the league didn't win with backup QBs every week. I'm just not accepting this garbage excuse.

I don't think we'll ever know. The team was lucky to win the first 2 games. Once again they passed too much. Then Romo went down and the bottom fell out. I just hope they go back to what was working last season.
