So much fail with this post. First of all Dallas won the division last year and were an asinine overturn of a catch from going to the NFC Championship despite some severe limitations on the defensive side.
The three eight and eight seasons if you look at that team outside of Romo, Witten, and Dez they were a below average football team. Garrett's ability to rally his troops, get a message across, and the individual talent of those guys is what made us competitive each year. They pretty much perennially had one of the worst offensive lines in the league until 2013 when they drafted Travis Frederick. The defense only had two impact players. DeMarcus Ware who clearly wasn't himself after his neck injury in 2009 and Sean Lee who hasn't been able to play a full season.
This season we've lost two of the best football players on the planet. You can't win without two superstar players that are as valuable as Romo and Dez are not to mention a decimated defensive line. They just don't have the horses hell the bodies to be able to play for four quarters.
There be so much "could half, should half" "we wuz robbed" "look at last year" that I quickly lost interest.
Yes, unbelievably injuries happen. They happen to others too. And in pairs. Others seem to reload. We on the other hand seem to bring in journeymens who don't fill the chamber.
as to Garrett rallying the troops, I half never thought of Garrett as a rallyer, as a motivator, simply as a bus operator who says his underachiefers are passionate, half a strong work ethic and try to do too much. That is not rallying, that is enabling the underachiefers.
Only THREE 8-8 seasons? I was worried it was four or more. This is a team with a few superstars and lots of journeymens. It is scary how we go from Romo, Dez and Witten to the Randles, Churches and Mincys. Gift me 22 solid players any day over 3 superstars and 19 journeymens.
As to the defense, I want to hear more about the impact players but all I likely will here is crickets and I don't means Buddy's band.
