The saddest part about watching your season end in October is knowing that when Romo comes back we're going to win some meaningless games.

So we get the gut wrench of watching this season come undone before it really even started, without the compensation of a high draft pick at the end of the tunnel.

I'll disagree with you a little
It may turn out the way you said but both philly and TB are nowhere near the teams Seattle is
If we beat them, which we can, then it is a completely different story

I'm not throwing in the towel yet

You have it right. Garrett might be a pretty good QB position coach but fails pretty quickly as a head coach. He's
certainly no Parcells or Bellicheat. Not many good, winning coaches to be had right now and Jerry just planted his
flag in a 5 year losing contract....

How does the guy fail as a head coach win he won 13 games last year? You guys man....I just don't get it. You can complain bout him as a OC....fair enough. But even the OC we have NOW is doing nothing. Actually he's far worse than Garrett was ever while here. But of course Linehan will get a pass. Everyone will get a pass but Garrett. Its Garretts fault this organization is dependent on Romo and he's hurt.

There's no reason to throw in the towel but fans are scared and tired of disappointment. They don't want to be a "fan" and just sit and watch things play off. They would rather be doom and gloom when in reality this team is not out of it yet. We've been losing every week and so has our division. The only reason the Eagirls and Deadskins didn't lose this week was because they had a bye.

Colts didn't tank Colts simply sucked. Just like we are they were dependent on Peyton and as a result couldn't win a game.

There are other organizations who tank who never stop. The Browns. The Raiders. You create a losing culture and sometimes you never get to win again. Haven't you noticed that most of these teams drafting in the top 10 every year are the same teams?

When Tom Brady went out and they won 11 games with Cassel just to miss out on the playoffs......how did that hurt them? Not comparing us to the Pats of course but just an example of how there's nothing wrong with winning some games going into next season if that is the case.

The only thing left on this team is that Garrett hasn't lost his players. Losing can possibly do that. Tanking is for loser organizations. You can improve this roster and get a "better roster" just by simply drafting better.


You have it wrong. You can't win in this league without a top 5 QB and you can't get one unless you draft in the top 5. That's just
the way today's NFL is structured. Besides, we don't have a Bellicheat for a head coach.

one thing Philly understands more than any team I have seen is they smell blood in the water. Cassel is gasping for air and might not even make 3rd string next year for a NFL team. Dallas needs to play desperate football because 2-6 is mighty hole. Garrett needs to rotate ALL the QBs in this game to find the one who can confuse philly a little. He has to abandon that I am gonna stick with guy who practiced all week with starters.

Can Dez play QB? That would really confuse Philly.

Sorry, we won games last year because of Romo...not Garrett. Garrett's "try hard not to lose...but never take a gamble to win" style
has always left me cold. Without Romo, this team and especially Garrett would be an afterthought.

I've never been a fan of any coach in any sport that has a system and refuses to change his system around the players he has.

You play guys to their strengths.

If there are trends out there that work you change your system to fit those into your scheme.




We are completely player dependent and I hate it.


You can't tell me that a quality coach doesn't get us a win or 2 by now.


Garrett has killed our season.

Didn't know that Seattle had a top 5 QB of that NE or GB or Pitt picked their QB in the top 5 picks

Thanx for the education

Well, on one point we may agree. The teams you listed have pretty good coaches and staffs. The Cowboys couldn't pick
the next winning QB if only two names were in the fish bowl.

If they get the next franchise QB out of it, then something good will result from the season.

It's definitely depressing, but I don't believe seasons end in October. I also don't see who's going to ultimately take the NFCE yet, so, there's that.

Season is over. Eagles will put end to it next week and Bucs will win just for good measure. 2-7, looking at 6-10.

I miss 2014.

Yep.

Anybody that thinks that this team without Romo can win a game is just in fantasy land.

I keep hearing Broaddus talking about that this team needs the division to be in chaos and keep losing. I keep seeing fans talking about "well if we can get the next two then we are right there still in it".

It's all crap.

This head coach of ours cannot get his team prepared to the point to win a game. Yes, as some of you have pointed out, all this team needed was a couple/three wins over the seven weeks that Romo was to be out, but it's obvious that Jason Garrett just can't do it. He has done an absolutely horrible job even given the circumstances.

From the times we have committed turnovers, to the times we have been overwhelmed with penalties, to the atrocious game management with his obsession to go too conservative at the worst possible times, to the few times he wanted to be aggressive at the worst possible times, to the defense being clueless as to what creating a turnover is, this man has been proven clueless as to how to get his team motivated to win.

When your team loses close game after close game in the different ways this team has done it then that is a direct reflection of it's head coach. He is not innovative, motivating or even close to as smart as he thinks he is and it's more apparent now more than ever that Tony Romo is the one responsible for whatever success this team has had and will have in the near future.

This team has too much talent to be going through this mess even with the injuries. I'd seriously consider IR'ing Tony Romo because it ain't happening this year. At the same time I'd hope and pray that he can stay healthy next year because if he can't you can bet that that red headed doofus ain't going to have this team ready at all to compete without him.

That is a separate discussion and I would have fired Garrett several years back and of course Jerry MUCH MUCH earlier than that

Franchise QBs are tough to come by, and I'm talking REAL, franchise QBs and Tony is that. It will be my deepest regret as a cowboys fan that we wasted his whole career to "train" a less than mediocre HC (who is unlikely to amount to anything ) at the whim of a maniac

Sad, but those are true words of wisdom. Jones is an oil man playing at football. Maybe his son, when the old man kicks
the bucket will hire a true GM. Maybe...but, probably not!

You said it in the nicest way possible. The truth is Romo will indirectly make us get a worse draft pick. If we beat the Bucs and Eagles fine..but if they lose those games we do not want Romo back..

I have it wrong? You can't win in this league without a top 5 quarterback? Russell is a top 5 quarterback? Flacco is? Flacco was a late 1st rounder. Russell was a 4th rounder. Romo Undrafted. Brady 6th rounder.

Matthew Stafford was a #1 overall. Palmer who has done nothing for the majority of his career was a 1st overall. Cutler was a 10th overall. Fact is, quarterbacks are found all over the draft and there are 1st round busts every year in the draft. To tank for a shot at a bust is moronic.
