I hope your right. Fans said the same thing about DeZ. Takes time to get into football shape an get that timing back. Romo is awesome an can't wait for his return but there are a lot of good teams left on the schedule. Not gonna be easy

I totally agree...

It's garretts 1991 playbook. No imagination. No creativity. It shouldn't rest on rooms shoulders. The offense itself should get guys somewhat open.

We're always creative for about two series. Then we revert!

Sure seems that way. We have our core plays and when all else fails just resort to them.

6 losses in a row, should warrant the head coach fired.

it got Wade fired..........

Don't worry. Once Romo comes back, everything gets fixed. Defense gets better. Defense tackles better. Secondary covers better. DL doesn't get blown off the ball by mediocre OLs.

Passing routes get better. Game plans get better. The weather gets better.

It just all falls into place once Romo gets back.

Too bad we will be 2-7 when all this happens and it wont mean jack.

That bum should've been fired after the Arizona debacle in 2011. They blew like five 10 point leads that season and somehow our *** clown of a GM didn't fire Garrett. How many times does this team have to give games away before Jerry opens his senile eyes and fires this atrocity of a coach.

Some here seem to adhere to the theory that the key to the Cowboys success will lay in a particular coaching scheme, or in-game adjustments, or addititonal 'trickeration'. But I gotta say that what I witnessed during the most successful stretch in team history - the 90s teams - the game plan wasn't all that complicated. The beauty of those teams literally WAS in their execution and well-timed player substitutions on defense (keep 'em fresh) - combined with the AGGRESSIVE NATURE of Jimmy Johnson's decision-making, which was understood by his coaching staff and filtered down to the players. Jimmy would almost always do what he figured would keep the opponent rocked back on their heels. And he would make those decisions quickly - giving opponent coaches little time to process their next move. He DID NOT burn timeouts.

Emmitt between the tackles. Irvin on seemingly endless slants (guy was fearless in traffic and caught just about anything in his wheelhouse). TEs like Novacek that routinely found the soft spot in the secondary and provided the dart-throwing Aikman with a safety valve in case he couldn't hook up with his primary targets. A defensive line that came after opposing QBs in wave after fresh wave. LBers that could run sideline-to-sideline and also brought the wood. A secondary that didn't just chase receivers all over the field but also understood a receivers 'tells', could track the ball, took good angles, and were adept tacklers. I don't mean to leave out key contributors but they were too numerous to mention them all.

The general game plan was 'this is what we do - try and stop us'. Literally zero sleight-of-hand... just blood and guts and victories.

Last year the team had a cohesion that I just am not seeing this year. To a man, players need to realize that they are currently 'walking the plank' together - and that many will not be returning if they don't right this ship immediately.

I thought it was hilarious when we tried to run a pick play and it was the biggest fail ever.


We'll just scrap it now probably. We don't need any of that pick play nonsense.

the one beasely got a penalty on?
I said it before , they have tried to do them, but are so bad they get penalized or dont execute well enough for it to work.
Then they stop for awhile.

Well that would have been good 3-4 games ago, little late now, but it wont happen, they will watch the tape and get better as always!

For what Dallas is paying Dez, I am amazed out how ineffective they can be at designing plays for him.


Dallas uses Dez just like Pitt uses Antonio Brown, you know the guy with 23 targets, 17 catches and 284 yards last week...the guy moved around in various formations... that guy..




Your thoughts?
