Bill cowher last week, now John madden.

The blame sits right at the top with Jerry the grinch.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Maybe 10 good players on this roster.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Eh. What's he know?

 

[ScipioCowboy]

He's just bitter because we cut him...

Er, wait. We can't use that excuse with him. Drats.

 

[links18]

I thought our talent had nothing but potential? At least that's what I read here......

 

[Titleist]

Have to agree with everything sans the Dez walk off. I'd do the same if I was in Dez's shoes.

That's been way overblown by everyone.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

So what youre saying, Madden, is that we have a chance! ALRIGHT! ... we put on a show! so much fun to watch!

 

[Sarge]

Our talent is overrated. Our Owner is a disaster. Garret is a disaster. Kiffin is beyond a disaster if that is possible, Callahan is a joke if there ever was one. There are a few very special players on the team but that isn't going to get it done. There are also some highly overpaid veteran players not getting the job done. This team has a lot of issues that will not be resolved overnight, or in one season.

Buckle up.

He's mad that he's retired, in the HOF, and can no longer call Cowboys games?

No?

There's only 2 special players on this team IMHO. Dez and Tyron Smith. Romo's good but he's not special. Ware and Witten were.

Lee's good but he's not Kuechly special.

 

[Smith22]

Maybe 10 good players on this roster.

1. Romo
2. Bryant
3. Witten (going strong, plenty of TDs this year)
4. Tyron Smith (future of OL)
5. Frederick (future of OL)
6. Murray (injury issues, but when healthy he can play, would help if JG would run the ball)
7. Lee
8. Hatcher (career season in 4-3, but fading after stinger/neck issue)
9. Carr
10. Harris (PR/KR)
11. Bailey (easily top 5 kicker)

Close:

Ware (injuries and age are killing him)
Carter (beast last year, struggling now in 4-3 and hurt)
Leary (producing, but knee is an issue)
Scandrick (doesn't make plays on the ball, but usually is in good position, which is more than I can say for Mo)
Selvie (solid production until injury)

It all points to Jerry. The roster is not good? That's on Jerry. The coaches are not good? That's on Jerry. Dez disrepect the coaches? That's on Jerry for undermining the coache's authority.

Frederick

 

[Gameover]

Since we have no talent, I guess its ok for a top 10 qb to blow a 36-31 lead w/ under five minutes to play, Mr.Madden?

Would it not be ok for Tony to blow games if the Cowboy did have talent, Mr.Madden?

 

[AKATheRake]

Frederick

I shouldn't have forgotten him.

You're right Sarge.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

He's mad that he's retired, in the HOF, and can no longer call Cowboys games?

No?

You're right. I'd overlooked this point.

Right, Tony should have played CB to stop the next 5 drives that went for 5 TDs. Romo is the only QB in the NFL thats not allowed to throw INTs and must always put up around 40 points or something is wrong.

 

[wileedog]

Because clearly it was the QB that allowed 34 points in one half.
