What's with all the doom and gloom?

[Junglist]

all the doom and gloom is because Jason Garrett is still the head coach.

This. If we had a HC that didn't look like a kid walking down every aisle of a grocery store looking for his mom without his QB, I'd be optimistic. Once Romo leaves, Jerry really needs to consider getting a new HC and starting fresh. Romo's only hope for a SB is Garrett. Let that sink in.

New Orleans has won two in a row in blow out fashion and will be at home against the Giants.

The Saints beat a bad Colts team by less than a touchdown, hardly a blow out.

Tampa Bay went up 24-0 on the road.

...and STILL managed to lose to a Commanders team that is arguably worse than we are.

The Dolphins have looked a lot better since they fired their coach.

The Dolphins beat the Texans and the Jaguars. The Giants have won as many games of both of those teams combined.

The Jets nearly knocked off the undefeated Pats.

And we nearly knocked off three of the four teams we lost to. We're still 2-4.

The Eagles have owned the Giants the last three years. Fail to see how the Giants win more than two of those games. They aren't a good football team.

The Eagles aren't a good football team either. I fail to see how Philly sweeps them.

Even our Wins have brought bad news. We lost Dez against NYG and lost Romo against PHI.

Two big Division wins were minimized and then we went on a 4 game losing streak.

Happy Days are here again!!!!

Four straight losses makes you believe they have every opportunity to win a "couple" of games?

We do not appear to be able to get our act together across the entire football team to even win one game.

When one area steps back up, like the run game yesterday, another area of the team steps backward.

Yup, that's what's so frustrating -- this team simply cannnot put together a quality game. If it's not one thing, it's another. Hold the Giants to 13 points on offense, only to see them score two non-traditional TDs that proved to be the difference. This feels exactly like the years prior to last year, just a bunch of excuses and what ifs. But hey, at least Dez is telling everyone that the Cowboys still run the East, so good news there.

Every team in the NFC East is better than this current Cowboys team.

Guess we have to disagree.

 

[cowboys2233]

We'd be lucky to win 1 game without Romo.

That's the reason for all the doom and gloom.

For a long time, I kept telling everyone that would listen to me that all of those 8-8 teams we suffered through would actually be 4-12 or 5-11 teams, but Romo singlehandedly carried us to a number of victories. I was wrong. All of those 8-8 teams would be like 1-15 or 2-14 without Romo, there isn't a doubt in my mind anymore. This organization cannot win a single game without Romo, save for the rare "blind squirrel finding a nut" scenario. Not a single game. Pathetic.

Guess we have to disagree.

Can't win without Romo and Dez, not even against Philly and the Commanders.

 

[windward]

yep, a complete game (offense, defense and ST) from this team is impossible. I can't remember the last time this team won in all phases.

Week 2.

Seriously people.

 

[windward]

The fact everyone here is disagreeing with me is comical. If we didn't have that touchdown taken away from us for no apparent reason we would be 3-3 right now with 3 division wins. Instead Harris punished our horrible special teams unit and Beasley couldn't even fair catch a ball. The creativity on offense gives me hope. Seattle isn't the Seattle of last season and they are plaYing away from home. Their record away from home isn't the greatest. Then Philly comes to town missing their starting left tackle and we will have Dez back and we can't get a win? 4-4. Still hope. Don't stop believing

No, everything you are saying is reasonable.

I think we can. Eagles are horrible.

 

[Wayne02]

I think we can. Eagles are horrible.

They are definitely horrible, no disagreement there.

 

[windward]

Yes, until they are mathematically eliminated, I'm going to assume that it's possible for the Cowboys to make the playoffs.

Yes, isn't it much easier to just use the basic math skills we allegedly acquired in school than to panic and claim the season is over with 10 games to play.

Why do so many people think our season is done? We are now 2-1 in the division, our o line looks like it finally got its act together and our running game is where it should be. Thr eagles lost last night, and on top of that lost Jason Peters. So literally right now we have every opportunity to win a couple games, get Romo and Dez back and run the table. Everyone needs to relax, take a breath and be positive.

We do need to win a couple to have any kind of chance unless 8-8 can win the division, but despite losing four games, we are only one game out of first place. That should give us some degree of hope that we'll have a shot at winning.

I can't see any team in this division finishing the season better than 10-6 and I think 9-7 is more likely. We just need to do enough to stay alive until we get Romo back.

If Stephen Jones is publicly saying this - then they are losing faith in the safeties they have on the field now. Unfortunately, no matter what happens for the remainder of the year. Not enough high draft picks to right the wrongs of last years F.O. decisions ...
This, is just another example of why the fan base is doom and gloom. Because it is !

Why would Jones specifically bring up Heath other than as a possible foreshadowing that Heath will be getting more playing time and the expense of Church or Wilcox.

Maybe Wilcox's truly stinky 0 solo tackle, 1 assist, 0 passes defensed game stood out....

Prior to the season the Cowboys didn't just lose their starting RB they lost the leading back in the NFL.

In the first week they didn't just lose their starting WR, they lost the highest scoring WR in the leave last season....and the last five a seasons combined.

The Cowboys didn't just lose their starting QB in the second week, they lost the QB with the highest rating in the league.....and the 3rd in NFL history.

And a lot of fans want to blame this on someone and predict that these are the Cowboys we are seeing. This is a glitch in time. This is a very unfortunate series of events that will pass. The Cowboys are challenged this year but the future is extremely bright once the injuries become history.

They can be a great story this season or its a season of redemption next year.

Either way we are fans, let's support them through a really tough time instead of falling apart and pointing fingers.
