I'm rooting for a good team with a good coach. So far I have a coach that is 5-0 vs losing teams and 0-5 vs .500 or better teams. It's been 9 years, crap or get off the pot!

I continue to point this out - beating below .500 teams is not impressive and a good way to be 8-8 at the end of the season.

Which....will be the norm with Garrett.

And I know this team hasn't won anything and can still fall short of the goal. But I'll be damned if I"m going to root for anything but wins, however they come. And if you are rooting for losses, then you don't get to enjoy the season, I'm sorry.
ooooo - a callout thread.

these are always a fun waste of time.

Yup. we've seen this movie 8 times and guys still think its going to have a different ending. Unfortunately we will probably win the division with 8 or 9 wins and get crushed in the playoffs and people will say it was a great year....no its an 8 or 9 win year. You don't get credit for the rest of the division sucking.

I could never root for losses no matter how much I dislike a coach or player.

At this moment, I’m 100% behind the Dak train, and I hope he leads this team to the playoffs and beyond. If he performs poorly, he’ll eventually be shown the exit door, but right now the future is not the problem, the now is. Thursday is my birthday and I know they’ll be playing hard for me.

I think it's even worse now though, because from 2011-2013, we didn't have a great unit anywhere. We had a franchise QB, and that was all.

Now, we have a pretty good O-Line and a good defense. No excuse for not beating a single good team this year. I don't see why Garrett would survive this season if we don't find a way into playoffs.

It's Jerry man.

His ego is placed ahead of the team and he becames easily enamored with Garrett's persuasive politician speak.

It's not good at all but that is what we're stuck with.

We're 5-5 mainly because of Dak's inabilities to throw the ball and poor play designs.

It is all about winning and Dallas is a team ready to fly but is held back because we can't throw the football and need so many things clicking in order for the coach and QB to not look lost.
So why are the Eagles 4-6? Not Wentz’s fault, right? LOL.

Announce yourselves! If you aren't fully on board, you're rooting for losses. If you're conflicted by wins because you want Garret/Linehan/Dak to fail, then you're rooting for losses. If you're thinking about draft position, you're rooting for losses.

And I know this team hasn't won anything and can still fall short of the goal. But I'll be damned if I"m going to root for anything but wins, however they come. And if you are rooting for losses, then you don't get to enjoy the season, I'm sorry.

Nope, Beast is not rooting for loses...………..at this point it wouldn't make any sense, Garrett has won enough games to be safe.

The only way Garrett was going to get fired was if the wheels came off this thing we were like 4-12 or 5-11. That is not happening now, so there is no point in rooting for loses because it will not accomplish anything. Garrett was never getting fired for going .500 and everybody knows it.

the only way Id root for losses is if the difference was between the #1 pick and the #4 or 5 pick

I want Garrett out and Lincoln riley in. That's what is truly best for this franchise
If that means losing then so be it.

I don't blame you for feeling this way but watching guys like Jaylon and Leighton fight their tail off to win just makes it hard for me to not cheer for them right now.

We're the type of team that's built for a anything could happen type of thing if we just get to the playoffs.

Play defense, run the ball, and don't turn the ball over. A lot of teams have won it all with that formula.

If you REALLY dislike Garrett as a coach, why would you folks want to back your way into the playoffs or pretend to be impressed we beat some bad teams during a season where our division is so up in the air due to mediocre play?

Did you see Bills last season? The owner did not buy into the coach just because they got lucky and made the playoffs. It was not a good team, the cards just fell into place for them.

Garrett is the same way - I don't hate Garrett as a coach, but enough is enough already. He's becoming our Marvin Lewis.

That's fair but I look at in in total context and not isolated to this year. Garrett has wasted far better talents than those 2 and I fear in 3 years if he is still here we will be saying it about Tyron, zack,zeke,fred etc along with ware,Romo, etc

You calling this season enjoyable?

Brutal more like it.

I do get a laugh out of the mediots about why we didn't just feed Zeke earlier than this?

That's it's simple and that we don't get it until it's almost too late.

What dribble.

Our OL was not blocking.

DAK was running for his life..

Linehan was playing from a playbook from 1979..

And now we be OK?

Hmmmmmmm...
