He's a guy who really doesnt know what he's talking about.

Skip, I've gained respect for him, and he says outlandish things, but he's correct about them on several occasions.

Colin, not so much.

Everyone hopes that

Everyone was hoping that last year, as well

You mean, before we got beat by a bunch of teams that were better than we were?

Heard it through a friend...Colin Cowherd said that he isn't buying "Romo & Cowboys Stock" because he isn't an "emotional investor." Says that Romo pads his stats against bad teams and that Wade Phillips is incapable of preparing our team to play on the road in cold weather in December...says that the Cowboys will fold and won't make the playoffs.

He also said earlier in the year that the Green Bay Packers would beat the Minnesota Vikings "handily" at Lambeau Field. Final Score: 38-26 Vikings. Oops.

He also predicted the Seahawks to win the division this year.

He's right


Or maybe you are both wrong. Players make the plays as I was reminded earlier today by another poster.

The "padding" the stats is ridiculous. He is trying to win a game. Not like it is 4th and one at the goal with 5 seconds left or so in the 4th qtr, Dallas is up by 3 td's, and he sneaks one in for a TD. Gimme a break. He is taking what the defense is giving. Suppose Miles and the rest of the crew were padding their stats as well I suppose. LOL> that is so laughable, even for the hack Cowherd.

Now, the December and the fact that Dallas stinks up the joint in that month is legit. And winning is the only thing that will fix that.

For this season at least. Even if Dallas went 4-0, second round of the playoffs. The same media idiots would call it a "fluke", or, the teams they played weren't what the media idiots "thought" that they would be at this point in the season. ..

It's all a bunch of crap.

blah blah blah. CC likes to point to reasons he thinks dallas is a weak team but in the the same breath will count dallas as a quality win for other teams. many sportswriters do this.

It isnt so much his preparation as his lack of leadership. The guy is just soft and doesnt demand respect or attention from his players.

You can argue all you want, but history shows that his teams have collpased every where he's been

Except for the facts of Wade's teams doing better after he arrives, and doing poorer after he leaves, I guess your arguement might go somewhere....

Everyone here was predicting wins over Baltimore and Philly

Not that I recall. I recall the board being pretty much split on BAL, and any of us paying attention knew PHI was going to clean our clock in game two.

Wade Phillips record in December and January as a HC: 16 - 24

Wade Phillips record in the postseason as a HC: 0 - 4

Wade has had one winning December in 9 years as a HC.

4 times he has carried a division lead into December, and 3 times he lost it

"Alright Boys, its going to be cold" "I'm looking for a rather large freezer to practice in as we speak"

Is that what he is supposed to do?

They should hold training camp at the North Pole.

BS ten fold...good grief.

Next thing you know it'll be "Wade just can't prepare guys on a 3pm game following rainy weather when they had pancakes for breakfast the previous morning and forgot to put enough syrup on them." Cowhert has no clue what it requires, he's just pulling stuff out of his tail as usual.

He's right, I wouldn't be buying into our stock right now either. We've allowed too many bad teams to stay in games and we're going to get destroyed by teams like New Orleans playing that type of football. We're as lucky as any team in the league that we've had such a vanilla schedule to this point.

Guys, this could seriously affect our playoff hopes. See below:


WILD-CARD
If two or more teams finish the season tied for one of the two Wild-Card berths, one of the following scenarios will apply. If the tied teams are from the same division, the divisional tie breaker above is used. If the tied teams are from different divisions, the following tiebreakers are used:
Two Teams
1. Head-to-Head
2. Conference Record
3. Common Games (minimum of four)
4. Who's stock does Colin Cowherd buy?
5. Strength of Schedule
6. Combined Ranking Among Conference Teams (points scored and points allowed)
7. Combined Ranking Among All Teams (points scored and points allowed)
8. Net Points (conference games)
9. Net Points (all games)
10. Net Touchdowns (all games)
11. Coin Toss

I really, really, really hope that Dallas crushes it's December schedule this year, gets it's playoff win(s), and all that so this stupid BS would go away.

The BS won't go away. We could go 5-0 through December, blow everyone out including the Colts in the Super Bowl, and someone in the media or here will whine about Wade's post-Super Bowl presser, or they'll whine that Romo should have lifted the trophy with his throwing arm not his non-throwing arm because that's how Tom Brady does it, etc etc.

Just embrace all the hatred!
