We are well on our way to yet another 8-8 season

[Bleu Star]

I had tagged Dallas at 8-8, maybe 9-7

Funny. Same here.. One can hope though. Although, they make it difficult to be a glass half full kinda fan.

Looks like we're also going to "lose" to them as well. As in "not win".

Denver is going to roll this .500 joke of a team.

 

[iRepDatStar]

8-8 might not be so bad this year

might just get us into the playoffs lol

& a quick 1st round exit? Sorry.. That's nothing to write home about.

I don't want to rain on anyone's 8-8 parade, but there are a lot of QB's in the NFL that can pick apart the holes in our defense like Rivers did today. Even the announcers were saying over and over that Dallas needed to do something else - like go man to man - because Rivers was just throwing the same routes repeatedly to move the ball and control the clock.

That would require making adjustments and the boy wonder has shown over the years he is incapable of doing that.

We are just going to go with the plays the boy wonder practiced on Madden the night before.

I wouldn't worry about another 8-8 season. This is a 6-10 outfit. No way these dopes sweep this terrible division, and outside of Oakland, there isn't a gimme outside of it.

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Cowboys are going to be 2-3 and will be playing a Skins coming off a bye week. Then the Eagles fast tempo offense. This season might turn real ugly.

Who will be the next coach then?

to yet another illustrious 8-8 season. Good teams win games like this. Good teams utilize a balanced approach. Good teams run the ball. Good teams regularly sustain offensive drives win a "balanced" run pass combination. This is so frustrating but I guess it shouldn't surprise me. This regime is bad. Very very bad. A strong coaching staff keeps the team even so they never get too high when they win and too low when they lose. This team was still riding the high of a W against the Rams. Romo cannot take the game on his shoulders. That recipe has proven over the years to be unsuccessful. We have to utilize a balanced approach and truly embrace it to see any level of progress. It was nice to see my boy Bease in there doing his thing. Anyone to redirect Tony's man love towards Witten...

So frustrating...

Who will be the next coach then?

That is a very complex question. Garrett has been able to camouflage himself into the type of coach that keeps Jerry pacified. Any coaching prospect out there is going to have to think long & hard because they're not just coming to coach the Boys. They're also coming to pacify Jerry.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

Garrett can't coach, it's just not for him. Unfortunately, Jones didn't know he couldn't coach because he had no resume. He hand picked a guy with only very little experience as a position coach or something. A real GM would not do something so stupid. And his ego has kept Garrett here for all these years. This is the root of mediocrity. Failure of a team starts at the top.

Wow. Finally someone who see's EXACTLY what I see. Jerry does not have the EXPERTISE to pick a head coach. And his ego will not allow him to fire Garrett, because that would be his admission that Garrett is not qualified to do this job. Which would also be his admission that he was NOT qualified to pick Garrett. And we all know Jerry admitting he is wrong would only be something he would do as a last resort. Because remember, there are "500 coaches that could coach the Cowboys". I bet any amount of money that Jerry is going to give Garrett an extension. Jerry is convinced Garrett is the next Tom Landry. But moreso than that, Jerry is convinced he is a REAL football man.

Jerry has fired plenty of coaches. He's not above firing Garrett. He has often admitted that he made wrong decisions by hiring new coaches. If he ever hired a GM, I think people would have a problem with who he chose anyway. Unless that GM won a Super Bowl and right away, everybody would be pissed at the choice our "idiot owner" made for a GM. He can't win.

 

[Bleu Star]

I hope no one mistakes me just because I share what I see which happens to align with many of you. I am still very much a glass half full fan and "hope" for at least 9-7. There's a fine line between hopes & dreams though.

I'm willing to give your GM theory a try, though. Because this setup ain't working.

 

[Bleu Star]

Our end of season reward awaits.

 

[Gameover]

just wait until Garrett unleashed his vaunted "12" offense! Those mismatches will be maddening, just wait and see!

It will totally confuse our guys!

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Well they're talking about expanding the playoffs soon. We might get in that way.

 

[Gameover]

I see this team hitting rock bottom. I know it's become cliche to call them an 8-8 team, but this team has the feel of 5-11 team.

The defense can't get off the field, the offense moves at a snails pace, the schedule isn't easy. They have to go on the road to Chicago and Detroit. Denver and Green Bay at home. Tough sledding for a team that's allergic to the end zone.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

Who will be the next coach then?

Mack Brown might be available. Haha

 

[loublue22]

might win the division by like 3 games
