Show up or show out

[BourbonBalz]

It's either start winning tonight or call it a season. A loss tonight will pretty much put the nail in the coffin.

I'm not looking at it as a fan. I'd make the same argument for any team in our situation, because teams really do play better with their starters in the lineup, and some teams really do go on winning streaks in the second half of the season all the time.

Nobody doesn't realize the Philadelphia Eagles are a division game. That doesn't make it 'harder than normal.' It just makes it more important. But both teams are playing under the same circumstances. It's not like only the Eagles are going to play hard because they're the only ones with the advantage of knowing which teams are in their division.

Trying new players and 'figuring player out' would be straight up ******** at this point in the season with the division up for grabs. What are you thinking?

You don't have to 'buy' the fact that injuries exist and that they're affecting the quality of play we're seeing from the Cowboys on the field. Honestly, for my part, it's getting to a point where, if a poster can't acknowledge that simple reality, I hardly care to debate it with them. I see how much better we're playing on defense with the starters in. I can see how much attention Dez gets from opposing defenses. I know that Tony Romo does not miss the open receivers Matt Cassel missed last weekend. I'm perfectly happy to just wait the two weeks at this point for Tony to get back (if we're unable to win one or two of the games between now and then). At that point, everybody who really does think we're losing games because of coaching right now (coaching!) can explain to us how it is that the coaching suddenly got so much better with all the players back in the lineup.

My guess? It's a mystery that some of us will just never be able to get to the bottom of. Some questions are just too difficult to answer, I guess.

Hardy is here, great, does it Tyrone a better player? No, did it make Hicthens a better player right now? No. So the injury excuse has played its last note. Teams have had less talent and still win. Im not saying every game, but the Saints game was very doable.

We can very much make the case that it is the coaching just as easily who make a case for Garrett when hes par. Seems Jason can win when the team has talent and the divsion sucks. Simple as that. Other coaches has had less and are doing average. We yet again ignored the back up qb position and we are paying that price. We could have made it better, but we dont suit our offense around our QB.

Our head coach is still learning on the job. He has continued to abandon nything that works well, and still cant make adjustments to beat teams. The excuses for him have run their course.

Agreed.

I can stand losing. But the sit back, take what they give you, score 10 a game kills me.

This is all on Jason Garrett.

We are a man down at this point. Granted it's our best player, but teams all over the NFL have won ballgames without their best player.

Jason Garrett has to get this team ready and prepared to win a ballgame. Luckily for him, and us, we can still salvage our season at this point.

I agree. The game against the Eagles is win or go home.

Let's see how Garrett has this team ready to perform.

Colts have won w/Hasslbeck, Steelers were 2-2 without Ben and Gabbert won today w/49ers. So it can be done. It's far past time to do it. Now. Despite our ineffective head coach.

A win would probably prevent a bunch of people from beating their wives.

Come on walker , I hope you mean it sarcastically ,lol

And can Randy Gregory maybe show up tonight? Did he even play last 2 weeks? Never heard his name called once.

Yeah, we're just never going to agree. I see a deep roster with a good coach with a plan that ran into a really rough stretch in terms of injuries and a turnover dry spell. You see whatever it is you're describing.

I have no idea what you're referring to with the 'abandon anything that works' stuff, and I suspect you're not watching or simply being intransigent on purpose for whatever reason if you honestly think the team isn't making adjustments. What you want is for the head coach to take a battered roster and win games via coaching magic that doesn't exist. And it's never going to happen.

Just because you've seen teams win with backup QBs still does not mean that it's a high probability. Backups QBs have lost way more games than they've won over the years.

This. And we have bad backup qbs at that
