It sure seems like the other teams make better in game adjustments than we do. We typically keep doing the same thing whether it works or not.

Its all part of the process, stacking bad plays on top of bad plays.

Do you understand the concept of being too conservative versus mixing it up?

How about some bootlegs on first down if you're so afraid that your backup QB can't handle throws?

Why is there a need to continue to run 80% of the time on first down?

Agree...the big fail was thinking that 12 points would get you a win with only a 2 point lead. If Romo is the field general of this offense, then Cassel and Weeden are PFCs who have trouble simply keeping their boots tied.

So, putting the game into the hands of Cassel is a win? The guy who looked awful with his limited passing attempts? Not breaking even 100 yards passing?

Cassel was an INT waiting to happen in this game.

Cassel has been put into the worst position a QB can be put in with this offensive coaching staff.

They are the worst in football.

2 deep balls isn't threatening deep. Your takes are completely useless because you can never admit that you're wrong.

There's not a soul on this board other than you that thinks we actually threatened deep. In fact, there is a thread about the insane amount of checkdowns.

You said we NEVER threatened deep. I cited 2 plays we did. Don't try and twist things around. Your losing credibility.

It would really be helpful, at least for me, if you guys could tell me when it's OK to judge the coaching staff. Because apparently even after years of evidence, we still can't hold them accountable for anything.

So again, can someone post a sticky to the top of this board when it's appropriate to question the coaching staff?

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Or, this offensive coaching staff has been put into the worst position an offensive coaching staff can be put in, with this quarterback.

Thanks for pointing that out. That completely exonerates the coaching staff from having any part in this latest loss.

We used to win 5 games a season with Quincy Carter and Chad Hutchinson...

Parcells got Quincy to the playoffs....

Yet we cant even manage to win a game with a team that is 10 X's better than anything we had in the Campo/ early Parcells era.

KJJ · Nov 1, 2015

Everyone complained about Weeden and were screaming for Cassel but statistically he's been far worse with a 58.5 passer rating in his two starts. The offense looked more impotent with him today than at anytime with Weeden. Might as well give Kellen Moore a try it can't get much worse.

Great post!!!!

Defense did its part and so did ST. Line blocked well. Receivers didn't get open enough. The main play I had an issue with was 3 & 2 in the 4th. I didn't have an issue with them running, I just didn't like the use of one WR which made the play predictable. We should've lined up 3-4 WR and forced them into a Nickel or Dime defense.

Just glad our divisional foes are just as inconsistent, with their QBs on deck.

zack · Nov 1, 2015

I blame the loss on the members who bash Romo. You know who you are......Betcha wish you had him now.

This is what we get to expect in the near future. Good luck drafting a replacement. Nothing is guaranteed in the draft. I just hope it doesn't take as long to find a QB. The last time took a long time and he wasn't even drafted. Good god this season sucks. Hopefully we can win next week!

Nope..

Matt Cassell has won in this league.

He's average...

Even Weeden has wins in this league when he was a younger player with less experience.

That's not threatening deep. Going deep twice is not threatening deep. Nobody here besides yourself thinks we threatened deep. End of story.

The Cowboys lost this game for one reason and one reason only. Ineffective QB play. Not coaching, not lack of a RB, not defense and not special teams. Cassel just isn't getting it done and Weeden before him.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

serious question here, If Romo has to sit out the rest of the year, and retires, do you think Garrett will ever win a game again as a head coach?

Great question!

superonyx · Nov 1, 2015

Any offense that is this pathetic regardless of QB should have the coaching staff questioned.
Romo has been covering the warts of a poorly designed offensive system for years now.
No wonder he waits until the last second to snap the ball. He needs to fix the mess of a play call and formation that was called and try to salvage it.

You cant lose 5 straight games with a team that was a superbowl contender and expect the coaching is not an issue. Injuries happen to all teams. 0-5 in your last 5 games do not.

Cassell is a average to slightly below average at worst NFL QB and we are not getting average or slightly below average production from him.

The problem ain't Cassell.
