When the Eagles scored the 2nd TD to make it 17-3 the Cowboys defense was confused who to cover and where to line up. Aikman mentioned that was a common set the Eagles use, apparently Aikman watches more film than the players and coaches that play and coach. What's even more sad is the Cowboys play this team twice a year every frickin' year.

Also the receivers don't run the right routes and the don't run routes right and Romo doesn't know what the WR's are running, this is week 17 and none of them have a clue! What does this team do in training camp and in the weeks leading up to games??? Play Madden 09 in the locker room? Is that there way of studying film??

PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my single biggest concern with this team. The total lack of being prepared. We've seen it all year.

Romo is telling guys where to line up in week 17. Not just Choice either, but all types of guys. Its pathetic.

Its like they never practiced for philly at all. Its ****ing mind boggling man, ****ing mind boggling.

It honestly doesn't look like it. Guys were constantly confused about where to line up, who is covering who, etc. all year long. I bet practice was like World History class at a tech school with predictable results on the final exam...

We've even seen the center and the QB not even know the snap count, that is mind boggling. Not to mention the half human half penalty machine Flozell, he rarely knows the snap count, if he doesn't lead NFL history in penaltys then just give him time, which Jethro apparently will!

That's what the Phillips regime is all about.He's got the mentality of a weak substitute teacher.What was his discipline after the Ravens game?Giving the players 2 days off.I despise having him represent our team and say what you want-if Jerry brings that clown back next year-I'll watch the damn games anyway...Geez

Yeah, but what about "continuity"..............................

Sorry, I can't help but laugh right now guys. Of course you're right, but I really think JJ has lost it. CERTIFIABLY CRAZIER THAN A **** HOUSE RAT kind of crazy to let this staff led by Coach Cupcake near this team again.

Wow, that pretty much sums it up right there. I couldn't agree more. That's EXACTLY what he is. A weak substitute teacher.

The sad thing about the Eagles TD to their RB is that is something we've had trouble with for 3 seasons now. Going all the way back to the New Orleans game in 2006 we've been having trouble with backs inside of the 10 yardline when they go out to catch passes.

We just always seem confused on that.

I was at the game and could see the entire field, it is really obvious when you can see that view on every snap. On one play Austin and Crayton were arguing over where to lineup. I believe we had to use a time out in that situation. On defense it was worst as DBs were running all over the field trying to figure out who to cover. Most times it seemed it was Adam Jones who was unsure of who to cover....it is really scary at how much of a pee wee football team we look like at times...

I don't buy these receivers running bad routes crap. No not Witten, Roy and TO all running bad routes. Something isn't connecting between the qb and the receivers. For whatever reason. Guys are not even on the same page and there's only one thing consistent and that's the qb and the offensive coordinator.

Also in listening to The Ticket afterwards they were talking about this and they made mention of how, even going all the way back to training camp, that Dallas doesn't have full pad, going 110 percent type practices all that often. They mentioned that all through training camp that this team only went full pads one day.

Now, obviously, I don't know how true that is, since I'm not there, but that's pretty disturbing to know that it could be going on cause the last couple of games, especially, you could really tell this defense doesn't know how to tackle. THey're really poor at it.

This is the most unprepared cowboys team i have ever seen and that includes the 1988-1989 cowboys team. This team should be ashamed and if Jerry trys to bring back Wade as head coach the fan base may rebel and leave him with a brand new empty stadium.

The worst thing is that it was the same way under Parcells. This is a cultural mindset that starts at the top.

I don't understand why Jerry lets that go on if that is indeed the case.

Its been a reoccuring theme for the last 2 years. Appearantly Jerry doesnt think this team needs to be prepared or he would bring some real coaches.
