My Thoughts

[LatinMind]

I am disgusted with this game. Im not mad at the refs..Im mad at the players. They had this game won and they didnt execute. They had a team in the dumps and didnt put them in the coffin. GB cme back and handed it to Dallas. Plain and simple. Nobody to blame but the players. GB wouldve traveled the yrds needed to win the game with a FG at the end even if they kept that TD. Defense was gassed. No excuses, this team beat themselves.

Goodbye Marinelli and take this 3 man rush cover 3 with you. Dallas when playing man allowed nothing to GB. He wants to play with his tail between his legs on 3rd and long, the outcomes are what happened today. A long TD and a 31 yrd completion to Cobb. You play not to lose 90% of the time thats what happens....you lose. So go to Tampa and go lose there.

Thats all i have to say about that game. I dont care why they lost the point is they lost. Im more disappointed then those 8-8 seasons. This team is better then GB better then SEA. Today they just werent better mentally. Mental errors. Sell out Jerry, Go out and sign that super rusher you did when you signed Charles Haley. You add a stud rusher on this DL and you win this game. Ill take this secondary these Lbers just give me that super rusher. A guy that is going to make teams game plan for. A guy teams are going to have to shift for and create that mismatch for Crawford in the middle or Lawrence on the edge. Give me that Safety in the secondary that can take a angle for a sure tackle instead of letting the WR run right past you. Dallas is one or two players from the superbowl. This team grew theyre young they hungry.

Murray please go far far away from this team. Thank you for everything you did. I loved watching you carry the ball for dallas like a boss. But you dropped the ball buddy. You came back and had a nice game after the fumble but if Dallas has AP in 2015 id be much more happy. If Dallas has a guy like beastmode over you i would be more relaxed. If Dallas has Randle and a guy like Todd gurley tag teaming i will be more more relieved. You are damaged goods. This season was big for you, but pounding you drive your price down. You shouldve taken that 4 yr 16mil deal Jerry offered you. Because you wont be carrying the ball in 2015 for this team. And thats a shame.

Jerry resign your own guys.
Dez Bryant - is a given, if Roc nation blows these negotiations spank Dez and franchise him.
Bruce Carter - needs to be brought back. He is a playmaker.
Doug Free - is the nail that holds the house together.
Justin Durant - bring this man back please, he's cheap and is a very good WILL.
Nick Hayde - can br brought back cheap, and he's a workhorse.

The rest can test the waters IMO. I like Rolando McClain but Eberflus knows how to use his Lbers. Dallas can run with Lee and Hitchens if something happens. Hitchens really showed alot. McClain is expendable.

Nomore Cowboys football for 7 months. That sucks.

Betting the farm is the wrong thing to do. Get more talent through the draft, and find Mincey-type guys in FA because I'll take 11 Minceys on defense all day over a super-star. Denver trailing the Colts at home is a good example of what can happen, and 2008 says hello for the Cowboys.

I know the call sucked, but plenty of mistakes by Dallas that caused us to lose.

Good post.

Good post LM
Agree on most except carter
Carter is too inconsistent to be a day in day out starter. It also appears that he is a VERY slow learner and if marinelli leaves I don't want another liability at LB who does not know his assignments for 2 years

Carter was injured for the middle part. He started hot got hurt and ended hot. Carter is not a liability. Last yr learning a new offense yes. Not this yr.

I want Rolando back. I know he dropped off toward the end, but the guy's house burned down.

He was a big part of our defense this year.

Dallas has plenty of Minceys. They need a Haley. in 91 they had too many minceys they needed a haley.

 

[reddyuta]

agree with everything (except about Marinelli) with the OP which is a first for me.

 

[Staubacher]

We made mistakes but we also did a lot of good things. The other team has some great players and coaches and they made mistakes too.

I agree the fixes need to be on defense and running game.

I would say as the season went on Hitchens was better.

We need playmakers on the Dline, you just can't get JAGs and MIncey is a JAG. We need bullies on the defensive line. I'd take a SUH, and a couple of other mean dudes on this defensive line. I don't give a crap how dirty SUH is, I care about winning. And this is not a winning team at the moment, we're an almost team. I disagree with Marinelli though. He plays that way because we have no talent. Give that man some mean dudes up front, things change. With him gone, I think we sink back to mediocrity on defense, and back to 8-8.

McClain went the way of Henry Melton and I think he should follow him out the door as well.

Don't like the idea of making crazy moves (e.g. trading draft picks, overpaying FA's, etc.), just solid ones.

Keep the "process" rolling. It's worked just fine up to this point.

Dallas has one Mincey and plenty of Haydens, Selvies, and Wilcoxs.

You make a lot of sense here. The team was dominating in the first half and let it slip away. Should not have come down to a bad call.

Our defense was smoke and mirrors that's for sure. I hope Rod stays but even if he stays and we don't get mean it won't matter against the best in the NFL, much like today.

We are on the same page here too.

Thats because we had guys like Hayden, Selvie, a less than 100% Meton, that left alot to be desired.

Build around guy like Crawford, Lawrence, and Mincey and you'll see better production.

Agreed. Just like we built the offense we must now build the other side.

 

[fishspill]

I like a lot of what you're saying. First thing's first, who do we have coaching this thing and who do they want?

Our problem isn't meaness. Our problem is talentless. We just don't have much talent on that side of the ball, we are over achievers. Lions have talent on the defensive line. Texans have talent on the defensive line, Seattle and so forth. Get some talent on that line, not just some dudes and try to turn them in to Stars.

If we do that, we may have a chance to be special with this defense, IF, we keep the coordinator.
