I don't post a hell of a lot. Been here a long time, but I want my voice to be heard !
I hope some of the Dallas media read this forum - I know Sturm has started posting some great articles, hopefully someone will read my rant and act or explain why.
Why is Garret getting a pass - I listened to yesterday's explanation after the game of the infamous 2 and 1 debacle. When asked about it, he stated he did not want to get into specifics - why not ? Don't we the paying and supporting public deserve to know just what the hell happened ? Why no follow up questions from the media, including Broaddus. It seems they take what he says (a lot) and just let it go...why? The play calling has been a bone of contention for a few years - stop coddling him and make him accountable as well !
If Romo checked out of the run - as we all expect he did, but the rest of the team played the run. Say so ! Then bench him for a series. He has done this for far too long now, with no repercussions. He is not some rookie that benching will damage his ego. He's been a starting QB for what now, 9 years ? Pull a Parcells and reel his *** in. If he is going off the reservation, as I think he has been doing for the past few years, take back the control ! If Garrett can't control his own QB, he has to go ...
I love Romo, I think he is what is best, and worst about this team. Parcells was right though, he needs to be managed - and both he and Garrett need to stop this garbage. We have heard all off-season of the new commitment to run the ball, and they have allocated a lot of assets to do just that. If you want to be a physical team you have to play a little smash mouth football. If the run play had of been stopped, (which I doubt) line up and smash it up in there again. If its stopped again, you kick the field goal, but you have told every one on the field and in the crowd - we are going to run it down your throat ! It's what you told us you wanted to do right ??? We had just marched down the field at about 6.3 yards a carry or something. Tell me San Fran did not think, OK they are scared to run in the red zone. Just plain dumb.
Be accountable for your actions.
Same as hearing that nothing will change as far as giving Romo the chance to audible out of calls going forward - WHAT ! Are you kidding ? "I'm disappointed how I played, we will look at the tape and get it corrected." Sorry, heard that way too many times already. HE is the only way we can have anything resembling a chance this season, but Him, Garrett and Jones needs to be accountable, and somewhat truth full, if they want us to stick with this "Backs to the wall" season. Some body get after these guys - ask some tough questions, and if they skirt around the question, ask it again !
Are we not smart enough to handle an honest answer ?
Somebody make these guys accountable - please !

Garrett's press conferences will always leave you feeling like you just totally wasted 10-15 minutes of your life, no matter the state of the team. With regard to Garrett holding Romo accountable? Well, think about how you would hold one of your buddies accountable for their actions? :)

2 things this franchise can do right now that will rejuvenate this fan base. Fire Garrett & draft a 1st round highly touted QB. Whether it's successful or not doesn't matter, trying matters. But staying with Garrett for 7 years, same with Romo, has done nothing but waste 7 years of our lives on watching this mess. Try something else man.

Its the same stuff year after year with these Cowboys.... Cowboys get kicked in the teeth by good teams and provide a glimmer of hope by beating the bottom feeding teams.....its the Modern day Dallas Cowboys....it is what they do.....don't get frustrated by it....



Tired of the Cowboys losing and Tired of the Jerry Jones Cowboys

There's no accountability for the GM, so what makes you think this will trickle down to everyone else either as a deterrent to play or coach better?

Right. Jerry has made it clear numerous times about the kind of accountability there is at VR.

Its a unique accountability that the 31 other teams do not have.

In before the thread gets banished to the rant zone or even deleted.

Maybe you should try the more posts/less content approach.

Bro, I feel your pain. We all do. But you're preaching to the choir. The ones that need to hear it and act on it arent listening. Noah warned those who needed to hear that The Flood was coming for over 100 years and the ones that needed to listen didnt. Jerry is no different. Red is no different.

Save yourself some grief and accept it as it is. It isnt changing anytime soon. And there is nothing any of us can do about it. No boycott. No occupy at VR. Nothing.

Vent if it helps but know thats all it will accomplish.

The only person held accountable at Valley Ranch is Johnny Walker and the Scapegoat of the Year.

Following this team seriously the last few years will only make you check into a hotel with padded walls and straps on the beds.

Time for your hourly medication.

Romo holds himself accountable enough.

What he needs is a coach who will work to limit mistakes, even if that means taking away some of his freedom.
