Did not see what I hoped to see

[burmafrd]

I had hoped to see a team that was beginning to get it. I did not. I saw the same old Boys trying act like men.

What did you expect to see from a Jason Garret Coached Team....but one thing you can count on...is Hostile and other Garrett Homers will give you some stats to show Garrett is the next coming of Tom Landry.....but how has Garrett bettered the Cowboys Franchise...

There's no "hiding" our OL and Secondary.

We ALL know we need better players, esp at those positions.

Quite a few posters going into this season thought we'd be around 8-8 or 9-7. It's not really a surprise given the glaring OL woes on this team.

Maybe the mild surprise was how quickly Newman faded this season. He seems like a shell of his former self - and he's repeatedly being targeted by the opponents now. Felt bad for the guy to be embarrassed like that. Anyway, it's his last season with the Cowboys. It's obvious he's done as a number 1 or number 2 CB, imo.

Have you only started watching the Cowboys during the Garrett tenure...because there is no way one could not see the same thing happen in the Parcells and Wade tenure and say that.

If you have to ask, then you really can't see the obvious. We are much better than the 1-7 team he took over last year.

21-0 at half was just like being punched in the face.

Lack of talent is one thing. Lack of passion is another.

We can point out the holes no problem, but the real reason we continue to lose game such as tonights is because we lack a competitive quality. we've got no balls,

This season reminded me a lot of 2008 and 2005.

Garrett was with the team under Wade....Did he not learn anything....no excuse for HC that has set nothing but FRANCHISE embarrassing records...especially for someone who wants the players to no the rich history of this Franchise.....I did not expect much from Garrett...but am utterly disappontted in his uncanning abilty to embarrss the Franchise on National TV

All very good comments IMO.

I saw a bunch of guys just running around out there. In my opinion, humble though it may be, a HC who is also the OC is a plan for failure. The HC needs to oversee both sides of the ball instead of just concentrating on the offense. The HC needs to control the game, not just the offense. Jerry and Jason need to put egos aside and hire Norv Turner to run the offense.

Here is what I would do:

Hire Norv Turner.
Fire Rob Ryan.
Fire Hudson Houck.
Fire Dave Campo.
Scrap the 3-4.
Draft nothing but offensive linemen and cornerbacks.
Spend money on quality free agents instead of has-beens or fill-ins.

He was with the team under Parcells and Campo as well. Magic...I swear I did not see him here during that time.

The problems with this team go way beyond who the head coach is.

 

[LatinMind]

Im am utterly disgusted with this team. Im digusted with the players. I hope Newman is forced to buy his own ticket home.

While im not a Garrett supporter i dont put how bad this team is on him. They just dont know what theyre doing on the field. Just stupid players who deserve the blame.

This team needs to be gutted.

I love what ryan is trying to do with this defense. He just doesnt have smart players. Anybody who thinks Ryan is a failure is wow.

To the original OPs comments.

I did not see what I HOPED to see, but I did see what I EXPECTED to see.

I think we had a good draft this year. We got a good offensive lineman in the first round which would have been very unlikely if Garrett didn't have some influence. We've got a bunch of dead money, so free agents aren't going to be coming like they used to. But, a couple more good drafts and we can rebuild this team into a contender. I think Jerry trusts RHG, so we will get good players. Get rid of the dead money, plug the holes, and we're a contender again.

Rob Ryan has passion off the charts and balls of steel. That, and significant talent shortage will get you just what we got this season and tonight. This game was a perfect microcosm of where this team is at right now.

O-line problems and secondary problems that you simply pray can hold together, and they don't against a quality opponent.

The Newman sympathizers jumped ship this year. The same will happen to the Garrett sympathizers next year.

Garrett was a major reason the team was 1-7 last year.

Blame it all on Wade will only get you so far. Surely Garrett-symps can come up with better excuses next year.

Good Comment....wanted to see well coached team that got it, played respectable tough nose football....instead got the expected....another Garrett lead Cowboys embarrssment on national TV.

You mean the one that went 5-3 with Kitna but only managed 8-8 with Romo?

You really can't be this clueless. Wade wasn't 100% the reason we were 1-7 but he was a pretty big part of it. The defense was getting torched by Vince Young and David Garrard during that stretch. Wade had completely lost the team.
