That pretty much sums up my thoughts. I know we have alot of injuries, and I didnt expect us to win today but I also didnt expect to see such a lackluster effort either. It's over for this team this year. I'm sure some will cry and complain, saying its being a chicken little or giving up on them, but seriously. This team is just lousy.
What a train wreck this team is now. Its so painfully obvious this team doesn't want to play for Wade Phillips. He's clueless in just about every way possible.
1) disgraceful performance by the OL...I lost count at how many times I saw our OL knocked down on the ground or just plain run over. Corey Proctor is just a wasted roster spot. Montrae Holland must REALLY suck in practice if he cant get on the field ahead of this stiff. Columbo is a tough guy and all, but his blocking is mediocre. Leonard Davis looked like the player the Cards gave up on again today. Adams is clearly injured, and is hurting the team by playing. But that gets back to poor coaching and decision making (see below). The OL was so overwhelming in the first 3 games, now looks like the weakest link of the team. They cant block anybody.
2) we are by far the worst tackling team I have ever seen...its pathetic, the effort and technique are just horrible...I see tons of high school teams that tackle better than this. Other than Scanrick right now, none of those DB's tackles worth a damn.
3) I cant believe we paid Ken Hamlin 40 million dollars...he got his money and mailed it in the second he cashed the check...he's gotta be one of the worst starting safeties in football right now...bad vs the pass and run...he takes poor angles on just about every play...
4) 5 red zone possessions, 5 tds for the Giants...just pathetic defense
5) no real reason to talk about the QB situation...Johnson was absolutely dismal, then the coaching staff further botched the game by not yanking him sooner...not that Bollinger looked good, but he deserved a shot when the game was still a game...Johnson's last pick pretty much sealed the game IMO
6) only 7 more games left of the Wade Phillips era...it cant end soon enough either
7) we might be a 9-7 team...maybe...but I'd start making plans for doing something ele during the playoffs, because this team isnt going to be there
8) all things considered, this is the worst Cowboys team I've ever watched...been watching them 30+ years, and this is just a disgrace...if I was a season ticket holder, I'd definitely be mailing Jones a letter asking for my money back. I know I wouldnt get it, but he deserves to hear from fans for this. He should have fired Phillips after that Ram game debacle.
9) I cant figure out why certain players can make obvious mistake after mistake, or just plays poorly and the coaching staff never does anything about it. Guys like Proctor, Curtis, Courtney Brown, Bowen etc etc...they have no business being out there, yet play after play the coaching staff trots them out there. Poor play is not dealt with here, its rewarded. Its just lousy coaching. And not only do they not bench the guys who play bad, they dont even appear to get mad about it.
So say what you will, but at 5-4 this team has little shot at making the playoffs even when guys like Romo, Newman and F Jones return. They've now got 4 conference losses and have almost no shot at winning the division barring an unbelievable collapse by the Giants.
