News: DC: Sham: Don’t Jump Off Just Yet; Season Is Still New, So Let’s Take A Longer View

[Aven8]

At this time last year, the OL wasn't playing great, Elliott had gotten firmly on track after causing a few questions early, our defense was a mirage that wouldn't hold up, Dak was keeping the seat warm for Tony, Jason Garrett was a JAG coach because of his record, despite his record on the way to CotY, and nobody in their wildest dreams saw 13-3 coming yet.

And we were one game ahead of this year's 2-2.

It's a long season. There's a lot of football yet to be played. I'm in no rush for it to be over. Why are some of you in a rush for it to be over?

True about the Oline. But then Collins got hurt and Leary took over and it all changed.

Also consider the league as a whole doesn't look particularly impressive this year.

As usual there's a handful of teams that look like trash and could probably be accurately predicted to win 5 or less games total at this point.

Then there's a bunch of teams figuring out if they're legit or not.

What we're missing is that little group of obvious contenders. It doesn't exist right now which really opens things up.

This is not the season to be throwing in the towel after 4 measly games. Unless you're one of the floundering 0-4 squads.

We will be fine......

This is media hype at its best and a bold face lie.

We already know a few things right out the gate.

1) the 2017 Oline is not the 16 Oline. We have issues on the line and 2 coaches who are ok with it. Instead of looking for solutions they are hoping the band aid falls in their lap. Huge mistake.

2) you have an issue with your Rb thats not being handled well on both sides.

3) inactives, why did we carry 3 RBs and a FB if they arent going to be used or used correctly.

4) Jeff Heath is not good, suck it Jeff Heath fans. He is very good in a limited role, hes not good at starter role. The end.

5) Your defense sucks, play the rookies, shake Rods hand and tell him best of luck at the end of the season. Nothing more you are getting out of him and i doubt he ll take the DL job and before anyone says Eflerbus or whatever, NO, just no. technically we should leave it to the new HC, but thats not happening. Go out of organization and get a DC.

6) Carrying 3 QBS, waste of roster spot. cut Kellen Moore, play Cooper if Dak goes down. End of Dak, end of season. doesnt matter anyway, again JC is just showing us he cant do the job if you need a reminder of this, see the Rams.

7) Byron Jones, find a new spot for him or put him in limited roles. Suck it Byron fans, hes not great at a safety starter level.

8) Jason Garrett, Jag coach, want to argue it, post his HC record. Suck it, the argument is over.

8 things off the top of my head, making this writer a pom pom writer for his own articles and offering nothing, not even something as basic as "breathing is important" or "water is wet" i would have more respect if he just wrote that and submitted it.

Yep. That's about it.

After our 3-1 start, many were saying we were staring a 3 game losing steak in the face.

He is a legend. He has been in the cowboys radio booth since 1977.

Again with the writer stuff?

Never mind. Go cowboys

Yeah, but who's the guy in your avatar?

I'm a busy guy, you know.

[LocimusPrime]

I'm going to wait a few more weeks before I write off this season. It isn't looking good though especially if Zeke gets suspended.

I'm giving them 4 more weeks Max. That's it

lol and some people are looking at the history of an average coach, major changes to a defense, a hurt OL, a bad ST squad and saying while thrusting their hips to the air "Cowboys going to make some noise this year" and the rest of the league politely yawns and ignores them while another team takes the honors.

13-3, home field advantage, coach of the year, first game of the playoffs for them, and a big fat nothing. but come on guys another year of being impressed with "ho hum"

again, i ll let the season and the teams history do my talking.


some fans are so thrilled we are "next years champs"

I'm not saying this team is going to win a championship. They could but it's unlikely. More likely than not this team isn't getting another Lombardi this year. But that's true for every team. So very brave call for you to be predicting doom and gloom.

What I am saying is that bailing on a team that's 2-2 after 4 games is just silly. It just is. It shows a stunning lack of knowledge following the game.

You probably thought the Pats shouldn't have come out at halftime in Houston.

You sound really angry for a football fan forum.

That's funny to me.

 

[jobberone]

Too early to say much.

Don't know many who thought the D wouldn't be a problem. A lot thought the OL could have some problems as well. And the majority worried Dak might have some problems.

So why are so many up in arms?

 

[Proximo]

So why are so many up in arms?

Because being "up in arms" is what makes them happy.

No logical person throws the season away 4 games in at 2-2.

Bottom line.

It's very bizarre isn't it?

I think it is anyway.

Not at all. Heres a hint, some teams can play from behind, as the cowboys did last year. But hasnt this year yet. The problem i see that maybe most dont, some of you guys might need another 10 years of jg is that jg cannot recoup a bad season. Its all good, or he loses the season. Some coaches, ie tom coughlin and a few others can fix a few problems and propel their teams. Some coaches cant. So another loss or two might be enough for jg to lose it all.

Not saying he will yet, but hes playing from behind the 8 ball again and that doesnt bode well for him

This is just make believe unverifiable stuff "can't play from behind the 8 ball"

What does that even mean?

Another question is how is 2-2 behind the 8 ball?

And then to top it off you say "not saying he will".... "lose the season" that is.

So to recap you think JG may lose the season or may not lose the season and we are or are not behind the 8 ball.

Okay.

Okay.

I know your games so lets make this simple, do you believe if Dallas goes 2-4 that JG can string some wins and have a winning season?

Has Garrett ever won 7 games in a 10 game stretch? Yes, yes he has. So can he turn a 2-4 record into a winning record? Theoretically yes.

I guess i'd ask you to do some research....how often has a 2-4 team turned into a 9-7 or better squad?

Thats limited as heck..lol.

How about Coughlin taking a 9-7 squad to tje super bowl

We have seen some coaches right a bad ship. Last year people were saying Aaron and the packers were done, he righted that ship quickly. Pederson and Gruden both have their teams doing ok. So we can see progress in franchises and we have seen some coaches right their ships in time.

Can we honestly say JG has done the same?

You asked me a question. I answered and then asked you a question. I await your research and response.
