As much as it pains me to say, Dallas is doomed to be only mediocre this year. Despite lots talent, here is why:
1. Wade Phillips - He has not developed mental discipline or toughness in this team. No one is confronted about their mistakes, so no one takes responsibility for their failure to perform. Wade's pattern is pretty consistent. He has never won a playoff game with three teams, including the Cowboys.
2. Tony Romo - He is a good quarterback, but not a great one. He is simply too erratic and unreliable to win consistently in this league. At Tampa he had a 140+ rating. Against the Giants it was 25. He continues to prove that he can't win when the pressure is on. People keep saying to wait until he has experience. But the league is full of QB's who have become reliable after several seasons at the controls. Think of Eli and Ben. Remember that all 32 teams passed on drafting Romo. Now we know why.
3. Our Defense - This goes back to Wade and his soft approach to football.
Consider these facts after two games:
• 26th in points allowed per game (26.5)
• 30th in yards allowed per game (438.5)
• 30th in passing yards allowed (303.0)
• 24th in rushing yards allowed (135.5)
And the Cowboys are the only team with no QB sacks.
The clock is ticking on a new coach to replace Wade and his crew. I just hope we don't waste an entire mediocre season before a change. Can you spell s-h-a-n-a-h-a-n?
