This season is done. Neither Romo or Bledsoe is the answer. And the reality is that Parcells could be gone if we don't make the playoffs this year. And if we do make the playoffs, we aren't going very far.

Our offensive line is so horrible that neither Qb is going to progress much. Let's face it, we have lost to every respectable team we have faced this year aside from the Commanders and then again the Redskis aren't that great.

I'm not saying this to put peoples' spirits down but we have to face reality. Our offensive line needs a lot of work both in regards to coaching and talent. That's not going to be fixed this season. And our QB situation is a mess. Romo may be more mobile than Bledsoe but he is also far more inexperienced and he isn't exactly the calm presence in the pocket that we are seeking. If he turns into anything, it's going to be next season and not this one. Also, I agree that he should be given a chance to start over Bledsoe so my issue doesn't lay there.

But I'm already thinking of Parcells replacement next season. I'm grateful to Parcells in many ways and our defense is amazing due to him. I don't think he will be fired but I think he will quit on his own due to his age and the rest he probably desires. Jimmy Johnson would be my ideal coach and I could see that happening. However, I think a successful and well proven assistant coach could come here and build on Parcell's success. What do you think?

In what scenario could you see Johnson coming back ?

Jeff Fisher seems much more likely.

I don't think Jimmy would come out of retirement for any team but Dallas. I can see it happening because Jimmy and Jerry are good friends and just the concept is too exciting to pass up. I can see both guys wanting to give it another shot. Everyone loves nostalgia and wants to rekindle old times deep down.

That would be something, but not if this team has no heart which it appeared defensively to be without Monday.

Romo may be the answer but it's not this year. The guy is inexperienced regardless of how talented he is. He is basically a rookie. If he excells this year, then great but I doubt it.

Jimmy would want to build the team his way, not Parcells way. I just dont see it.

But they beat us? Aren't we respectable? Besides, the Eagles are better than we are. We know that. They lost to Tampa Bay because of a 62 yard FG not becasue they gave up several turnovers. They are fundamentally stronger than us.

I'll take 5-4, but that would be nice.
At least 2 wins are given (Washington and Arizona). It basically boils down to whether you think we win this Sunday -- I obviously think we will.

They are not that different philosophically. They both stress the running game first. Both of them come from defensive backgrounds. I think the difference is Jimmy believes in QB's and would do more to get a top notch QB behind center rather than trying the bus driver approach.

I think the odds are that you are correct.

But I'm actually gonna let my heart dream a little for at least this week because its been saddled with despair and wait til next year for too long.

I have an adequate support structure to catch me when my hopes come crashing down, as they likely will, but until then I am going to enjoy the hope. Not make brash, foolish predictions. But enjoy the hope.

And after the playoff hopes crash I hope I'll see enough promise in Romo to make me hopeful about the future.

Worst case, I guess I'll start thinking about who we might sign or draft this offseason to fix our problems. But I'm gonna take my steps in that order. :)
