I havent really gotten that down on the team this whole year...I mean I didnt expect half the players that are playing good to play good this year...The only thing that makes me mad is the performance of Jones....I didnt expect players like Clayton, Canty, Bledsoe..Yes Bledsoe, Barber and so on to perform like this....Im a Die hard fan but coming into this season I know that we have a perty avrage team and Parcells would win acouple for us..Well he has won acouple for us if you guys want to beleive it or not(Phili game for example, That was pure execution of the playcalling and missmatchs created by the staff)...I cant beleive that ppl here are asking for Parcells to be fired....You may as well say this is his 1st year with the team...The 1st 2 years were definitly Jones team with Carter, Hambrick, Galloway and co. Jones even said that he told Bill that he wanted to see if Quincy could be a NFL QB...Than Bill goes and wins us 10 games and they get fooled into trusting QC and other avrage player...I mean what were we thinking with Hunter???So this year is basically a re-building year for Bill....Imagine another solid Draft and a FA pickup or too...We are definitly in the right deriction!!!!!

If you go back and see what the feeling was last summer, very few thought this was a playoff team in 05.

What remains Bill's best achievement this year is playing the rookies he drafted on D.

We knew it would be a rebuilding on defense, and it is exactly that. But I'd say we're ahead of where most most thought we'd be with young players getting time and integrating a mixed scheme.

Bill's biggest failure this season is with the oline. It can't all be hung on Rogers' injuries. There should have been a vet swing tackle brought in..the money was there.

I expected we'd beat the Commanders, a team we had beaten 14 out of 15 times, at least once this year.

That's what I expected.

You think getting swept and losing the last one with a playoff spot on the line 35-7 is acceptable?

biggest failure imho since he arrived but Rivera's disc surgery was brutal.

Yet we swept the Eagals, who owned us nearly 14 out of the last 15 ;) The deadskins outplayed us 2x... deal with it and stop misplacing your anger.

Agree with you 100 per cent. No body picked us to do anything. In most cases most so called experts picked us for last place in NFCEast. Well until this game we were legit contenders to win the division. We succeeded more then I had ever thought from day 1 when we beat the Chargers. With that win we all started thinking we had a great team whereas we are just a young team (with a few oldsters) who have a lot of potential. Parcells, Jerry Jones & our scouting team will make sure we have another good offseason with 1-2 FA signings & high quality draft picks. Next year our defensive players will be lot more comfortable with the 3-4 and Parcells will change it from vanilla to much more complicated system with lots more moves, blitz packages, etc. In preseason Parcells knew he simply couldn't lot our younger players and even our vets with much more then the basic plan but look out next year. I must admit I'd like to see a new DC brought in who familiar with the 3-4 like Capers or Haslet, etc. I still don't think Parcells has the coaches he would like to have yet.

I guess it's good so many of you think losing to a bitter rival who was only 7-6, with the playoffs at stake, in a revenge game 35-7 is totally acceptable.

You guys are unreal.

This team didn't even show up in the biggest game of the year and you all seem to think it's all okay. Whatever.

I been saying that BP wil not be fired. I predicted a 10 - 6 record if everything went right for us. Our defense has improved, still can be tweaked. As for our offense, we must rebuild our o-line. Just like our defense last year drafting all of those defensive lineman, we must do that to the o-line. We need atleast 3 or 4 new starters there. I hope Adams can return at lest tackle, he is the only starter I would keep. L. Allen needs to be a back up or retire.
Our O-line coach (Tony Sparano) has to go. I see it on tv our line stands straight up when the ball is snapped. Thats one reason why they dont get no push.

Another thing about our Defence is that the Blitz will come next year..I mean we are building our front 7 around Ware who played DE in a 4-3 last year....It is sorta like he is a rookie QB this year, with all the things he has to learn.He is going through his bumps this year..We have seem flashes of greatness but wait untill he gets the big pitcure and has acouple of offseason in the weight room..Burnett is gettin more playing time and is playing good...I saw him make acouple of decent tackles today and the light is going on for James...All we need is another Blitzing LB(Abraham..I wish) and we have a perty good and young LBing crop...Im not sure If Burnett will be able to start by next year but you never now what a offseason can do and I heard he had a great work ethic....Cant hurt that he was the catinan of his College team either....I dont see anything but positive for this football team in the future...This isnt a smoke screen like Parcells 1st year...He has the players he wants that have good work ethics, prepare hard and take it seriously...He can trust the players unlike 03

Go cry somewhere else before telling us what we think. The team is out of gas, has no OL and played a team on the road who got 14 freebie points and routed us. Reality check time.

Who the hell said it's "all okay?"

It was a disgraceful performance, and a loss that will sting for YEARS.

But there are only two ways to approach the reality of the arse whupping - to regroup and play our best and win the next two games.

Or let the shellacking spiral us down to a sorry December slide.

What this team and its coaches are made of we find out next week. We will need an inspired effort on all fronts to beat the Panthers.

Go enjoy the loss.

You want a reality check? The Commanders were a 7-6 team that just barely beat Arizona last week by 4 due to a KO return in the 3rd Quarter. This is the same Arizona team that lost to the 1 win Texans today.

Reality check - We just got pounded by this mediocre Commanders team by 28 points and people are going around like we should've expected something different.

Geez, no, I'm pretty sure most of us felt like we should've expected to get blown out today :rolleyes:

The Cowboys OL gave up 7 sacks to a DL that (before today) couldn't find the QB with a map, compass, sherpa and a headstart. I don't see how the Cowboys stand a chance against the Panthers DL.

Personally, I was expecting a win today and I'm probably the biggest non-believer in this team on this board. If Philly didn't implode this year we'd be the worst team in our division as of today. Is this what God er.... I mean Parcells is getting 4 1/2 million a year for?

Expecting? I was expecting us to show up against two big rivals on the road. The offense was putrid against Philly too.

Well what do you expect with a Ham of a Oline and a TE Coach coaching them

Uh oh. You're gonna get annhilated on here for expecting us to actually show up.

Expecting anything better than a 28 point blowout is apparently irrational to some folks here.
