Man, this whole thing is turning into one huge trainwrek.
I think Wade knows he is gone, he was very, very, very defensive today.
Not a trainwreck at all. Everything's fine and we just have to win some games against good teams. We have to play better next week, but it's not like the organization's not putting forth good effort, or that the team has turned on itself, of that the players don't like the coach or believe in the staff.
It's just the giant sail of Cowboy fan opinion that drifts in whichever direction the wind is blowing again. The wind being the hot air created by the local journalists and talk show hosts.
Both Wade and Romo have answered the question about Dec at least a dozen times. Literally. They don't believe there's anything about our preparation or about the calendar or the toll of the season that has anything to do with the record. They believe it's the fact that we've been playing good teams. Duh. They say they need to do better and stick together as a team and fix the execution problems that have cost them games against good teams. I honestly don't understand what more people could want them to say. Yet the press keeps asking until they get the answer they want to hear: ie, anything that prolongs the story. And our gullible fans get superstitious and actually listen to the drivel and report back that our HC is *avoiding* the issue.
I'm telling you guys: you get the team you deserve. It's a lot to ask for our team to be successful in this circus environment. And the circus will stay in town as long as we buy the tickets. Players and coaches read the press and listen to sports radio. You're crazy if you think they don't. The stuff would make me, personally, indignant and irritated that our fanbase insists on being a negative rather than a positive. I wouldn't want it to, but it would get to me. You can see the effect it's had on Romo in how he's changed how he interacts with the media this year if you've been paying any attention.
This crap would never fly in Boston or in NY or in Indiana or in PIT. We embrace it in Dallas. We're chumps. We're angry about being chumps, but we're not willing to stop being chumps, so being angry about it accomplishes nothing.
