I hope u are right,however from the way things going it might take us 2 years. play calling by itself might not be the problem but sure it can make a diffrenceRack said:I don't think we're a year away. I think we're half a year away. I think we'll start to show a big improvement in the last third of the season.
If we get lucky and make the playoffs I think we can make some noise while we're there.

Phoenix-Talon said:M54, no disrespect intended, so don't get me wrong. But ejthedj is right -- but I think you may have missed his gist (his point). Oh I suppose you can hate any team you like, that's not what I'm saying; and while I could be wrong, I believe ejthedj is saying something different ... He's on fire about another opportunity to WIN!
Here's a question that may bring my point home ...would a loss to a team you like be any better than a loss to a team you hate? It shouldn't!
Here's what I got out of ejthedj's thread ...
Be on fire! Don't worry about last week because you can't change last week's outcome -- but you damn sure can influence the outcome of this week's game!
Here's just a little flavor of what's going on over on the Eagles board ..."We're going crazy, and we can't wait to taste blood! We want this ...we want it all, and we want it NOWWWWW!" And that was from the Eagles ball boy!
So I like ejthedj's attitude -- he's a warrior!
Basic football 101
Its hard not to like PT even if he is a eagles fan. He is probally one of the better posters on this site. Not to mention he is one of the few non trolls that like other teams. All that to say, his analysis is pretty much right.
One thing I would like to point out though is that this team has no fire. They need someone like a Ray Lewis to fire them up.

No offense, but have you seen a crummy performance? I wasn't satisfied, but after living through Dave Campo, that was a good game. Heck I could name a handful of games that just made me nauseous, and this one didn't come close. When I think crummy performance, I think of last years Bengals game. The Thanksgiving game in 2003 vs the Dolphins, the season opener vs the Texans in 2002. The loss to 1-14 Detroit in 2001! You sir have no idea what a crummy performance looks like.TruBlueCowboy said:Part of me wants to think the team is going to surprise some people. How can you not rally around a crummy performance like last week? If the team doesn't come out on fire, then I'm worried Parcells is starting to lose them. I'm worried about our linebackers and Westbrook going crazy with McNabb. But I guess the biggest worry is I don't expect the offense to do much if they were held in check by the Raiders. Hell, if you can't move the ball against the Raiders, how are you ever going to score against the Eagles?

But believe it or not, it's hard to accept a loss when your offensive line completely collapses, your Hall of Fame coach makes some bizarre decisions, your quarterback ignores his best receiving threat (Witten), your start young running back still can't get any yardage, your defense still has holes, and worst of all, you can't beat a team that keep penalizing itself every few minutes, losing yardage or giving your team yardage, and just wants to give ya the damn game. Oh.... did I mention the Cowboys had a chance to win it all with a 2nd and 2 on the Oakland 3 with 2 minutes to go? ~~sigh~~
You're right, I started watching the 'Boys consistently in 99 and it's only gotten worse. However, I think some of you old guys have gotten jaded with all the success. "If it's not another Superbowl, don't bother waking me up!" I've had to live through some of the most depressing years in Dallas Cowboys history and I can see the difference between a loss, and the kind of performance that just makes you think you've decided to watch the wrong sport.TruBlueCowboy said:Well, you sound like one of the younger generations of fans who think the Campo years are business as usual and assume everything better is glorious revival.
