Just don't trust Wade!

Patriots went 11-5 last year so those injuries excuses aint flying buddy.

Wow they lost their QB.

It must've been tough losing the starting WR for a game or two.... oh wait.
Well at least they had an injured offensive line all year... oh wait.
I'm sure facing top 5 defenses for a whole month was impressive... oh wait.
Their punter going down really hurt their field position... oh wait.
It sucks that their starting RB was hurt all year... oh wait.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

Wow in a division that has Miami, NY Jets and Buffalo? Pats went from SB team to not in the playoffs 11-5 in the AFC east is nothing to write home about

In a division where 11-5 doesn't win their division nor do they make the playoffs. IDK what you're trying to prove but that division was damn good last year.

keep coming with the excuses. We scrubbed last year and coaching is the main reason. You sure none of their RB'S went down? I dont recall TO missing time last year either.

We were cocky last season and rested on our 13-3 record n 13 pro bowlers from the year before and thought we could skate through the season.

Watching them play sorry I don't think maimi, NY Jets were all that good. As I said Pats went from the odds on favorite to win the SB to not making it at all and if you don't think that was in large part because the loss of Brady then so be it. I find it funny that now with Brady back in the lineup NE is once again being looked at as an odds on favorite to make it to the SB.

Did the AFC East also consist of teams with top 5 defenses?

 

[ScipioCowboy]

I readily concede that Bill Belichick is a better coach than Wade Phillips. Belichick is also a better coach than Mike Tomlin and Tom Coughlin. Yet, both men still managed to win Super Bowls.

A coach needn't be the best in the league to hoist the Lombardi come February. We Cowboys fans should understand this better than anybody; our team once won the Super Bowl with arguably the worst coach in the history of Super Bowls.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I'm guessing you're referring to that look he gives during the middle of games when things are going wrong?

That "What in the world dazed and confused" look?

Yeah I hate that too.

We need to hire Jon Gruden. Suddenly .500 ball is okay because he scowls and cusses and makes the Chucky face on the sideline.

Do it, Jerruh!

 

[Maikeru-sama]

Wade Phillips hasn't proven he can lead a team to a Playoff Win.

It's not so much that I "don't think" he can do it, it is just that he has never proven that he can do it.

He has had numerous opportunities to win a Playoff Game and I think good Head Coaches eventually figure out how to do this.

I felt Wade Phillips should've been fired after last season. Injuries aside, we should not have been blown out by Philly like we were. That team was unprepared, lacked focus and showed the void in leadership many suspected they had.

How many superbowls in one decade does the man have to win?

I'd take bellicheck over Wade any day. You know what you're going to get with him. Excuses aint one them either. It's sickening how fast people can throw out excuses for last year/ When the truth is we're a poorly coached teams that lacks motivation and structure.

I'm making no excuse for the way the Cowboys underachived last year and players and coaches share the blame. Do injuries make a differance of course they do that is not an excuse it is a fact.

Pats were a SB front runner going into the season and went from front runner to out of the post season. You ask anyone who covers the Pats did losing Brady affect the Pats and with him in the lineup would they have made the post season? Already the Pats are one of the front runners to make it to the SB because Brady is returning.

 

[landryscorner]

Of course injuries can have a big affect, that does not make last season any less of a disappointment because this team still should have played better than they did even with the injuries we were dealing with. The coaches and players share in this disappointment and are trying to correct the mistakes of last year

definetely agree here with d

I just find it stupid when people act like injuries to key players has no bearing on a season. In the case of the Cowboys the injuries we had hurt such as losing Romo for a few games, problems with injuries on the O-line, losing a playmaker like Felix Jones and playing with a very banged up Barber and even Witten. This does not excuse the way Dallas played over the last 2 weeks of the season by any means but yes those injuried played a big part over the course of the season and without these injuries our chances would have been better. To me that is not an excuse that is a fact.

DA boys is right cowboys and the coaching staff underachieved big TIME! ....and they know it, excuses so what every team has injuries and players go down all the time yet a lot of teams still manage to make the playoffs even win top seeds and superbowls. If the Cowboys can't win with adversities than truly we have fallen off the mantle in Dallas. Some teams can plug in players IE Giants and still produce with mediocre DB's but when one of our CB's go down everyone panics. Wanna know why? because our drafts have sucked for the last number of years that's why.

Not having your top players matters. Think back to the 90s Cowboys. Emmitt missed two games and the Boys started 0-2. He comes back, the Boys went on a roll. It matters. Imagine any one of those Super Bowl runs without Troy, Michael or Emmitt. We wouldn't have 5 trophies right now. That's for sure.

when your franchise QB goes down and you have nobody to back him up, that's a problem.

when your #2 RB goes down for the season, your #1 RB goes down for a decent amount of games, and all you're left with is a #3 rookie RB, that's a problem.

when your OLine is banged up all season and your back ups suck, that's a problem.

when your WR core is banged up all season, and your best TE is playing injured, that's a problem.

I don't care what coach you'd put in Wade's position last year, they'd all have the same results. it's really not that hard to understand. did you ever go to school?

 

[Dallas4ever]

Just curious to see if people know without having to look it up.

How many championships did Don Shula win as HC?

How many did Tom Landry Win as HC?

How many did George Allen, Marv Levy, or Bud Grant win as HCs?

In 33 years as a HC Don Shula's teams won 2 championships.

In 29 years as a HC Tom Landry's teams won 2 championships.

In a combined 47 years Allen/Levy/Grant won ZERO championships as HCs.

Phillips is with his 5th team as HC and took 3 of them to the playoffs. He has been here for all of 2 years so let's see what he can do before we make ridiculous claims about what he can't do. So far he's done better than Parcells did while he was here.

Where do these people come from and why are they allowed to claim to be fans of MY team? :bang2: :bang2: :bang2: :bang2: :bang2:

Not real sure what you point is here but, are you suggesting that Wade is probably as good as any of the guys you mentioned? If so, Wow!

5th team as a HC in a short period of time........hmmm, might be a pretty good indicator that something hasn't worked.

Where do fans like us come from...... well, we live in a little place called the real world. Stop by and visit us sometime.

Jimmy just forgot how to coach those games. losing key players doesn't matter.

duh!

Lol so the cowboys weren't superbowl front runners last year?

 

[Doomsday101]

Dallas was a team projected to be a top contender the Pats on the other hand was a team who had been going to SB with some consistency and was bringing back the same team for the most part. Losing Brady hurt them quite a bit that 1 injury took them from competing for another ring to out of the post season.
