Does anyone else feel that this team has absolute no clue what it is doing?

In reality, we'd be in a hell of a better position if we were 4-14. At least at 4-12 we'd be drafting in a lot better place (even with all those picks gone to Detroit) than at 9-7.

What does 9-7 get you?
It keeps you out of the playoffss. It keeps you mediocre and with worse draft positioning.

So excuse us whiners for whining, but man, a competent coaching staff could have won at least two more games and kept us respectable, if in the league of winners.

Exactly. Well said.

Exactly. Well said.

I also agree 100%.

Mediocrity spreads in like cancer. It existed during the 13-3 season too it just didn't appear until after Thanksgiving. The team up and down is wallowing in it now. Dallas needs a complete culture change or it will end up the same. Wade Phillips "changing" is not going to do the trick. Does anyone honestly think any of these current players will be scared of the "new" Wade? LOL what a complete JOKE.

When the solution to a problem HAS to be within a set of parameters that YOU have dictated in advance, and the parameters ARE the problem, then you are doomed.

That is:

*The only solution Jerry will ever accept is a solution that HAS to have HIM in the center of the picture. He cannot simply OWN his team and ENJOY the success of his team... nor can he even INDIRECTLY contribute to its success... the set of parameters within which the solution must be reached is one in which HE MUST BE A FOOTBALL MAN. So, ever since Jimmy Johnson, if the team is to do well it will have to do well with Jerry BEING SEEN as a football man.

*The problem, of course, is that Jerry IS the problem. He is NOT a football man. He does not understand what makes for a perpetually successful NFL team. If he did he would agree with people like Troy Aikman who say that CHEMISTRY matters. If he did he would agree with people all over the NFL who say that THE COACH HAS TO BE IN CHARGE. If he did he would understand that hard training is more important than hard knocks. But he doesn't agree. And the reason why he doesn't agree is because it REPRESENTS A SOLUTION THAT DOESN'T FIT WITHIN THE SET OF PARAMETERS HE HAS DICTATED.

*So, if you have ideas that will work with Jerry being fully in charge down to the socks and jocks, fire away, but if your idea of a solution marginalizes HIM then you are wasting your breath, he won't buy it.

But what if the only way to fix it won't fit into his dictated set of requirements?

Then the Arizona Cardinals win playoff games and go to the Super Bowl before the Dallas Cowboys do. And we keep looking for NEXT YEAR'S SOLUTION all over again.

I am so gay for this post.

I thought We had a solid team that was heading in the right direction. I firgured we would bounce back from that Disaster One and out After being the #1 seed in the NFC.

I learned alot about teh team after thsi season. We have no leadership, No heart and no coaching...WAit and a dilusional Owner that wants to Make ratings and headlines for all the wrong reasons.




I pretty much think that line by Singleterry was made for the Cowboys as a team. We dont have winners, We dont have leaders. We have a bunch of guys getting a paycheck.

great post....something I have said 1000 times....he ONLY wants to win if he can win HIS way. And here is the irony in all of this...if the Cowboys were to win....Jerry would not get the credit he THINKS he deserves....because he is NOT viewed as a football man...sustainted success over an extended period of time is his ONLY chance of ever being seen as a football man....but the drought we are in the midst of probably means Jones would have to have a run the Eaglese have had over the last decade.....and it would HAVE to include a couple of trophies. This is the ONLY result that would give him what he craves....and I don't see a decade long run in this bunch

If this place nominated posts of the year.... This might be your winner right here. Excellent post

I've been saying since training camp that leadership is a HUGE issue with this team and it fell on deaf ears 90% of the time. Many said leadership is not important at this level bla, bla, bla..........

No leadership on this team, not even close. Wade is joke in that regard, Romo is a goof in that regard, Ware, is simply not leader in the lockerroom - too quiet (his play on the field is leadership quality however) this list can go on and on and on.

No leadership - no serious chance of winning another SB.

This team is messed up in so many ways it's not funny.

It truly is time to re-group....

In Short, YES!!
