Have you noticed that:

* The Offense Shows NO Positive Energy in or coming out of the huddle
* When Tony is preparing to call the signals, he is consumed with pointing, yelling, moving people around and telling players where they should or should not stand
* The Offense does not look like they have practiced together
* Route running is p*ss poor. See Miles on the intercept
* You do not have to be a speedster to get separation. Good route running and good play calling will do the trick. We have neither.
* Tony looks like he is carrying the load all by himself
* He has been forced to take a "no lose" attitude. We don't have that good of a team. We need Tony to attack the defense
* The running game is spectacular but Red Ball goes away from it at just the wrong time
* Red Ball has not found a way to incorporate a dink and dunk offense with the big receivers that are outstanding (why throw to Hurd twice in a row and have Witten and Bennet out of the action)
* Wade is a colorless, inspires not confidence and does not get anything out of this team that they would not give in a "mail it in" performance
* This team needs a Positive Mental Attitude, they do not. It comes from the top and the top is teetering waiting for the inevitable ax to fall on a balding pate.

Go Cowboys!!! What I would give to see what Jimmy Johnson could do with this talent.

Oh. So you agree with my assertion that practices must suck major matzah balls?

This team does not look like a well oiled machine that knows because of repetition and proper teaching techniques how to play the team sport that is Football.

Does anyone feel this is a cohesive TEAM? Or more like an assortment of individuals that just happen to wear the same uniform.

Fellows, this game is not that complicated. On offense you push the ball forward, either by running or passing. On defense you keep the offense from pushing the ball forward.

We are playing Chess, the game is Football, maybe the game is too simple for Mr. Garret and Mr. Phillips.

Well there is a bit of a chess match in football. An awareness of situations by coaches and players is critical. Romo was getting beaten up good. Red should have called run after run in that situation. Instead, he went away from it.

Situational football awareness is lacking on this team.

a friend of mine always points out how they look like they don't even want to be out there playing football except for a few guys. Marion,Choice,Brooking,Rat and James were the guys who looked like they actually wanted to play football on Sunday. the rest of the guys just had no life to them and no energy.

That is a great point ..... and that falls on the head coach.

yeah Ive noticed. Its just so easy to blame the QB. Tony hasnt been as crisp as we're used to seeing but its almost like he's running a daycare out there.

How many times does Tony have to get Bennett in position?

Well most of these guys already got paid. Who gives a **** right? They get their $250,000 game paycheck win or lose.

Bennett is a ****** and probably had fluff courses all his life.

I do ..... and I think you and Rampage do ...... I think the players are confused and unsure of what they are doing ...... and that falls on the freaking head coach.

I want Wade replaced ..... and yes I understand that is 98% sure to be giving up on the rest of the season ..... but I want to at least have some hope about our coaching staff.

Hell ya I do. I'm talking about the players. What do they care? They go back to their mansions and drive home in their lambo's after a loss.

I wish we had 53 guys with Ratliffs attitude.

I think it appears that way because they are confused and unsure.

All good points. Hard to believe we will likely be 3-2 after Sundays game. Reads like you are describing a winless team.

I shouldn't even ask this... But when players don't know where to line up on offense, how is that Wade's fault?

I agree with you. Wade is a known commodity. He is not a premier level coach and never will be. He will be replaced, now or at the end of the season. Why wait until we turn in another 7-9 or 8-8 season. Looks like Emmitt was right!!!
This season is already too painful for a life long fan. I don't even look forward to the games any more.

Let's have a little fun!!! Let's get football players that want to PLAY the GAME !!!
