Granted I am not happy with the lack of apparant fire and adjustments by the coaches.
On the positive
1. Who wouldn't have been happy with a playoff spot in August. Also Seattle
is not perfect and neither is Chicago.

2. Everybody wants to bash the Cowboys - look for faults. Without Romo
we wouldn't be here/ with Romo we will struggle also.

3. Who would rather root for: Cincy, Carolina, Atlanta, Wash, - all expected
to be great. Also how about Denver yesterday(with their great home
field advantagehow did they make out?) and let's not forget Chicago.

Maybe the fans need to spark this team?
Where is the passion from fans at Texas stadium?

Welcome to the board. I agree with much of what you say but if you have to turn to the fans to make your team play more inspired.....well.....that speaks volumes.

Besides, I see a LOT of passion from this very board.

The passion needs to come from the fata$# coach and his players.

I know the players should motivate themselves, but an energetic crowd at time can provide a spark as well. Sometimes this can provide enough to get a team confidence. Right now this team lacks confidence on defense.

This board is definitely passionate - not sure about the fans at the stadium. I am from NE and the crowd is always raucus - I have been to Texas stadium about 16 times and It is tough to get the fans rowdy!

One thing is for sure....every player and coach should just line up at Jerry's office and give their checks back for that game.

Sheesh.

If I were at the game yesterday, I would have been very loud and passionate. No one sitting around me would have to question where my stance is with regards to specific players or coaches on our team. And that is before I started drinking.

I think the Cowboys have bigger problems, but sure, Texas Stadium just doesn't provide the kind of home field advantage that some other teams have. Seattle gets quite loud. When the crowds have something to cheer about in New Orleans, the Super Dome is an intimidatingly loud place. And so on.

Texas Stadium just isn't that kind of place. There have been some loud and excited crowds there from time to time, but it isn't consistently an intimidating place to play. Even when the Cowboys were strong through the 1970's and 1990's, those in attendance tended to be a relatively docile group ... civil corporate types.

Here's hoping that the acoustics of the new stadium will be more similar to Seattle's.

The stadium was into it yesterday. What are you guys talking about.


The problem was everytime the place was loud and excited the lions converted a third down, scored a touchdown or made a big kick return.

Not to mention when we had all the momentum and were about to take over the game newman fumbles a punt. then we give up 7 more points.

The opening play being called back and detroit going right down the field didnt help.

People were into yesterday. The whole stadium was chanting romo romo romo on the last drive even after everything that had gone on.

The team just let us down. I was standing up most of the game. It is just tough to stay excited all the time with the defense playing so poorly, the amount of challenges and play stoppages and then the poor play from newman and romo yesterday.

It's great that they're in the playoffs, but to finish the season the same way over and over again.The coaching staff reminds me of the US military every since the Korean war, they do everthing half assed and they have to be nice and politically correct. The real truth is you want to play sports or fight a war you have to have the mind set that you're going kick the crap out of your opponent all the time until its finished. Thats the reason the boys are where they're at and why we are stuck in the quagmire in Iraq, because they stopped attacking to early. For the record. I am a Vietnam Veteran and spent 23 years in the army. The boys have talent, but need leadership that is aggresive, not passive with this pathetic hang dog look.

If your theory is true we could be in serious trouble. Seattle has the loudest fans in the NFL.

I hope you'll post more often. I like your passion.

I think most people think the team has talent and they are playing below expectations. With Bledsoe, people could see why the team wasn't doing so hot. But Romo is a good QB and to see the rest of the team look bad is frustrating.

Surely you jest. Didn't you know? Every QB in the league would've put up a great day against Detroit despite poor pass protection, no running game and no defense.

It's nice to hear the crowd was into it. Not sure why we aren't a better team at home.

This is a young team who thought they accomplished something when they clinched a playoff spot. Let's see if we can rebound this week. Need the leaders to step up.

the defense HAD a swagger to it earlier, also I wish we still had the fear that Julius was going to break one - like in his rookie year. Maybe parcells is overcoaching and not firing up some of these guys.

He need to go awol on these guys ala Jimmy Johnson.
