I would vote for all of the above, but that answer pretty much says that its all Jones fault. He brought in these clown coaches, he assembled this overrated team, it all comes down to him.

So JJ makes Tony's bad decisions for him? He made tony run around with the ball hanging out in the air to get slapped away in last years Philly game?

Ummmm..

Poll only has to do with Offense and coaches?
What gives?

Why is the crappy defense getting off the hook?

It's not just about this season, it's about 13 in a row and the one single thing the Dallas Cowboys have in common for those 13 years of futility in the Play-Off department is Jerry "L" Jones.

I dont get all the hype about 13 in a row...whats the big deal?

Is success based on making the playoffs?

Its SB or bust :)

Would we be better off if we were Carolina? etc? They made the playoffs last year.....For me there is no difference....making the playoffs and losing and missing the playoffs all together is the same....both years are failures.....win the SB.....

After Landry made the Play-Offs 18 years in a row it was easy to think that.

My how things have changed but you're right they have also remained the same.

I was spoiled by the Landry days......playoffs were a given it almost seemed. But I also knew that making it wasnt enough......we needed to win it.

Every year that we fail to win the SB is a disappointment for me.....so missing the playoffs is just part of that disappointment....

I wanted one and two, but since we could only pick one answer I picked two.
A strong HC can over come a maroon GM.:)

Can I just say that the only correct answer is "The season just started! Gimme a break".

Y'all have scored like 50+ points. Your D has struggled (this is a big surprise to me, I thought Wade would be stepping on opponents throats, but it's still early), and you still coulda/shoulda/woulda beat NY on Monday.

I think any hand wringing is way to early.

(before y'all divert- if my team loses to Detroit there will be mass uprisings in DC, but it's just not likely - Vegas knows that and has us as 7point favorites- so that's not colored glasses talking)

He said over come ..... not over ride.

You think Jerry is a moron right?

Jimmy Johnson and he won a 2 Superbowls together .. then he and Barry Switzer won 1.

Fair enough. I did read that as override. Can we win a Superbowl with Jerry? Sure. :laugh2: We have as you mentioned.
Do I think Jerry is a moron? No, definitely not. (or are you directing that toward Dave?)
My beef with GM Jerry is that a heavy-handed coach like Cowher or JJ isn't going to let the GM co-coach.

I do not think he demands the c0-coaching ..... I think he just does like he does in business ..... if he wants something he tries to convince others to do it his way relentlessly.

Parcells said that Jerry never ordered him to do anything. He convinced Bill to accept Owens .....

Its up to a handed heavy coach to use Jerry ...... thats what we need ..... a guy that will let Jerry do his thing and use that to his advantage like Jimmy did his first few years.

But will also tell Jerry respectfully how he is gonna do things and thats just the way it is.

If the guy produces results ...... I truly believe Jerry will be fine with that ..... if not ...... He will look for someone else.

The only problem he had with Jimmy is that he and Jerry were both big drinkers ..... they both got drunk and said some nasty things ..... and neither could let it go till it was too late to fix.

A complete and total lack of heart and mental toughness. There isnt a weaker team mentally in all of pro sports.

Bingo,you beat me to it.
Jerry has proven that he can be second to a REAL coach. Jimmy and Bill both.
The problem is he has Switzer relapses. As in Switzer and Phillips.

Switzer took over a great team that JJ and Jimmy built, Phillips took over a budding team that Parcells and JJ built.

A stronger coach and this team is way closer to winning it all like Phillips first year. Phillips as coach and well........... we got what all Phillips coached teams get.

Jerry hired Wade frickin Phillips to be the Head Coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

Are you kidding me?

Unbelievable.

From Tom Landry to Wade Phillips.

Vomitis.

Yes he is. One of the better posters around here from other teams, along with Pittman.
