No Time For Cowboys Organization, Or Fanbase, To Panic

There are lessons to be learned for sure. Almost no one thinks the coaching staff did a good job this season. Almost everybody thinks they did a fantastic job last season. One bum season is not enough to start firing people, especially a season that comes with a large caveat. Losing Tony Romo and Dez Bryant to injury for significant portions of the season does not excuse everything, but it does make a fair evaluation sketchy at best. The coaches can learn from their mistakes just like people in any other profession...


Then why do we keep trotting out the same bland offense year after year? Because Romo puts up good numbers in it?

There's no in house panic here...right?

Cue the usual suspects. This season is cashed out. Everyone knows it. BUT, we're young, drafting fairly well, and just need some luck as far as key injuries/suspensions to players go.

I hate that we all have to go through another offseason with poor results following a terrible showing, but this team is far from needing an overhaul as many chicken littles insist upon. Frustration skews the mind. I get it.

Let it play out this year. Settle in. Next season will be brand new with different results. It is what it is.

You don't need to blow up the roster. You just need some shrewd offseason moves to bolster the defense.

But the coaching staff stinks. I think everyone will learn that next year.

The team is missing a true and dominant #2 receiver. One who can actually fill in for an injured Dez Bryant. Williams is what could be a good #3 receiver. And our 'smurf' can play a solid role as a situational receiver.

No question, the concept of any NFL running back can be a team building block, is just wrong. The team needs the dynamics of an explosive and power back in one. Dunbar would have helped out, as would have Scandrick, but the team played minor league baseball against a bunch of Cardinal like teams.

The offensive line had a lot of talent, but against defenses that stand toe to toe and punch you squarely in the nose....they can have assignment problems to handle the brute power. The youth in this group will start to decline, if the talent behind them flounders in unproduction.

This team, Romo or not, would have won quite a few games, if the offense could score the predicted 24 points a game. They simply didn't.

A quality receiver and a quality running back, both brought to speed, would have made a huge difference in the win column. The solution is actually a simple one, requiring not a roster filler, but two quality special skills players and this next off season. No drama filled/graded up and on the cheap players!

the only thing I'm panicking about is ending up 6-10 or 5-11 and missing out drafting top 3
