The Cowboys have a long list of things that need fixing but not much time to work this week. That's because Wade Phillips has scheduled practices for only Wednesday and Thursday.

The players have today and tomorrow off and will get a three-day weekend, when they'll be free to make get-away trips without drawing Wade's wrath as long as they stay out of trouble.

"That's the way we've done every bye week that I've coached and been with other coaches," he said.

Phillips wants to give his players who have aches and pains some rest. It sure seems like a team that has lost three of four games could use some extra work, especially since the No. 2 receiver is still learning the offense and four key players will hopefully be returning from injuries.

Hey, Wade, you ever have a team enter a bye week with so many issues?

"Not that I can think of," he said.

Gawd I hate Wade as a coach!!!

 

[tomson75]

This is agonizing.

 

[DallasDomination]

THis is who is leading Americas Team? We're doomed!

 

[The Ominous]

I would probably say, "Unbelievable", but it's pretty damn sad and believable.

What a shame...:

Where do you think some of the players are headed to this time?

This is like putting duct tape on the Titanic.

 

[Doomsday]

No surprise here this guy just doesnt get it. "Its the way weve always done it". In case your fat arse hasnt noticed the way youve always done things isnt working, you need to shake things up and right this ship, I dont see how you are suppose to do that if you dont work at it.

This moron actually thinks everything will be just fine when we get our injured players back.

This is like putting duct tape on the Titanic.

Or like pouring concrete into the holds.

Anyone else just scared ****less that Jerry won't fired Wade.


I mean, even if this year went straight to the toilet, what if Jerry really likes Wade and won't fire the guy?

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Another misleading title from MacMahon. He makes it sound like it will be this way every week, when it's only this week for the bye.

 

[Coakleys Dad]

Pathetic

he doesn't have to, he can just not renew his contract (which is up at the end of this season)

Who cares. It shouldn't be like this for the bye. What has the team done to deserve any sort of relax time.


They should go 2 times per day for the whole week.

 

[Rampage]

how did Wade honestly make it this long in this business? the guy is too stupid and is definetly not HC material.

 

[bbgun]

Anyone else get the feeling that Wade is making this up as he goes along?

I think the point that's loss is that this team is pretty banged up. A couple extra days to heal up isn't going to hurt.

No. But neither would a couple extra days practicing tackling.

 

[poke]

lets see 9 games in...lotta players trying to get healed, EVERY player
beat up and probably a little dead legged about now...i dont see how
taking some time off could possibly hurt this team.
bang on Wade about a lot of things but this isnt one of them IMO
