Right now I have never been so confused over a team before. I think you can make several arguments who we are. I'll name them in no particular order of good or bad.
1. We are a bad football team for not being able to handily beat KC, who was destroyed by our competition the Giants and Eagles. If we want to get any where we need to handle these guys easily and should of handled them easily.
2. Since 07 we have regressed slowly, is it getting to that time to rebuild? We can only be above average for so long. In 07 our offense was outstanding and today we have trouble moving the ball on bad defenses like the Panthers and Chiefs. In addition, has Romo gotten any better since then? Yes, he cut down on his turnovers this year but in doing so eliminated what made him good, his playmaker ability. To me, it's a wash. If he's a gunslinger we lose 30-27 to the elite. If he's conservative we lose 17-10 to the elite teams. It's like pick your poison to me.
3. Our wins have come against teams that are combined 1-13. Enough said. What have we proved?
4. Our losses have come against imo the best team in football right now the Giants(just being objective) and the 5-0 Broncos. The teams we lost to are combined 10-0. We have lost to the elite and in both cases were in position to win.
5. The coaching staff are idiots and imo we are winning in spite of them. For example, the penalties keep coming. One of the main reasons we lost to the Giants in the playoffs in 07 was due to the amount of penalties. Offside s by the defensive line and Flozell and Columbo getting their normal ones in, where is the discipline? Can we win 10 games like this? We're not as talented as 07. Plus, Jason Garrett has a love affair with his veteran guys. We could have Barber playing with two broken ankles and he would still feed him the ball 20 times even with having nice back-ups. Crayton is as plain and average as you can get in this league and he will still play him because he's a veteran guy. Again, another hurdle to get over. I still say Chris Johnson would still be a nobody if he was on this team. If we had White/Johnson combo instead of Barber/Jones last year I still think Lendale White would of got 20 carries a game under Garrett.
6. Tony Romo has been very average thus far this season and when he gets back in the groove he will carry this team. I really think he will get better as the year goes on and that means more wins imo.
7. Even though we beat a bad team that might have been the thing that gets us over the hump. Don't overlook chemistry. That celebration will only build team unity and we have two weeks to feel good about it. It could be the thing that starts a run. It takes something small.
Conclusion? I have no idea where this team goes from here. We could go 10-6 or 5-11. What do you think?
