If the players have really quit

[Fire407]

Remember when we started 3-0 and some people here were saying we might go undefeated. Of course we hadn't beaten anyone with a winning record and we still haven't.

Although this isn't the best D like ever, it's not terrible. The funny thing is, all they need to do is fix DT and S and we might be top 5. However, we just refuse. Very strange stuff. We'll sell the farm for a CB or WR, but won't pay a DT or S more than a plugged nickel. This is exactly backwards of the way of thinking that brings in super bowl contention.

You’re right about this Kev and have been for years. This defense hasn’t had a dominant DT or S since the 90s. The stubborn philosophy of this FO is maddening.

Yet everyone calls me crazy when I say that this team has quit.

“They’re professional football players.” Yeah, so?



That doesn’t mean they don’t give up. I honestly cant tell if they given up or if they just don’t care at all. You’d be a madman to say that some of the players aren’t angry or upset with this loss (See Bennett). But I truly think many of these players have clocked out for this season. I saw it in the 2Q of this game. Defense straight up gave up. Maybe that’s why Bennett was angry. Offense, I’m not sure. Dak hasn’t been himself and has turned into a people pleaser. Zeke, I don’t know. Amari has never been a people guy. This team just lacks grit and gut. They lack passion. They lack Urgency. It’s hard to describe the psychological aspects of this team because it’s so off.

The overrating was done by the GM and coaches. Paying Jaylon Smith big money was a mistake. Kris Richard has not brought about an improved secondary and nobody gets turnovers or makes splash plays

Speaking of Kris Richard Mike fisher tweeted out he got into a shouting match with someone in the facility the other day.

It's because they're trying to run a scheme that doesn't work and are frustrated. It's really hard to keep doing what the coaches are telling you to do when you know it doesn't work, and that there is a better way.

Honestly...@ this point.....I'm turning the defense back over to Marinelli....and putting LVE in @ MLB. I'd bet money LVE miraculously heals by next week.

The defense started going down hill the minute we made Richard the play caller....and LVE hasn't been the same player since. It's not a freaking coincidence...

I dont think they have now or have in the past. The players know they are just as responsible if not more than the coaches. Hence the screaming Bennett did.

Do you forecast a fallout because the screaming came from Bennett?

I really haven't seen all those people calling you crazy for that.

However, until recently, this team hadn't quit.

And what they really lack is a competent scheme and the personnel to consistently make stops when it matters.

So what’s the point of keeping him? The Cowboys still control their own destiny. It seems to me it’s detrimental to have someone whom everyone has tuned out.

nah not really. Getting ticked off after an embarrassing loss is expected. I just hope it did some kind of good. But, i dont think it will because they just aren't as talented as they thought they were and most of us thought they were.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

There has to be some huge disagreements on this staff somewhere. I think Moore was a Jerry hire and Garrett is just like who cares I’m gone next year anyway.

The Cowboys have many talented players. But they lack cohesion and attention to detail. They play hard at times but especially on defense they look like a bunch of guys running around. When I watch the NE or SF defenses, they run to specific spots. They play together as a team as opposed to eleven individuals.

 

[kskboys]

I really don't think anything Jerry does will matter unless he changes HC's and lets them have more control.

They lack talent on the defense side of the ball. especially the d-line. btw this team hasn't quit on JG it never has. Now is that to say they wont? No, but it hasnt happened in the past.

Caught by a mobile QB who merely had to step up in the pocket to avoid the rush.

Yeah I’ve been concerned with that. I like Quinn but I’ve been wondering why quarterbacks don’t just step up in the pocket against him.

 

[G2]

Some goes on the players.

I hope whoever Newy’s source is, they are both legit and accurate! Amen! Hallelujah!!!

I've started noticing that more and more myself. We really are a mess. I'm not sure the players even know what they're supposed to do and why. Or they don't believe in it. Something is amiss, of that I'm certain.

No. What they lack is Will. Passion. Inspiration. Attitude. Gut. They don’t have ANY of those following traits. They lack will. They lack passion. They lack gut. Their attitudes are terrible. Our players sat on the sidelines like suicidal patients until the game was over and they literally went over to the Bills players and asked for jerseys and everything was sunshine and rainbows. They don’t care about winning. They don’t care about championships. They care about money and fame. That’s it. I have no faith in this team, even with a new HC. The attitude this team possesses will be the end of all for this team. You can’t get anywhere when your roster has a mindset like that. What a bunch of punks. See the Ravens and the 49ers? They get upset when they miss a tackle or miss a few extra yards. Our players? They get up. Walk to the sideline. Sit down. And don’t care. They don’t care about anything but the outside world. The fame, the highlights, the stats, the girls, the money, etc. I’ve never seen a team act like this before and it’s a damn shame.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Then fire him now. Jerry still talks about him like he's his girlfriend

If that’s true I don’t know how you can even have him coach next week. You are technically still in the playoff hunt and you win and you are in.
