You expect me to believe another year of Romo, Witten, Ware, Garrett is supposed to compete w/that?

[Alexander]

My point was that Jerry Jones is both, and everybody knows who he is because he is the mouthpiece and the face of the franchise.

Paul Allen stays where he belongs and let's Carroll do what he is supposed to do.

You do know that that is our problem, don't you?

Nonsense. Don't you know Paul Allen has the final say? All owners are involved.

 

[Seven]

Why even participate in the draft, offseason or next season?

That's a good question. Especially when it comes to safety, CB's and linebackers.

Heck that's it boys and girls, hang it up.

Turn off the lights and put up the For Sale sign at Jerry world.

We're done.

The lights have been off and jerry has long since sold the Dallas Cowboys. What now?

 

[Seven]

Wait. So we're not going to win the Super Bowl next year?

Of course we are, silly.

We have us a gen-u-wine 'Official play caller' now.

 

[Risen Star]

Nonsense. Don't you know Paul Allen has the final say? All owners are involved.

Find the Tom Ciskowski of that organization and you'll find where the real power lies.

 

[Zordon]

Amazing things are possible when a team has a coherent organizational structure, a qualified GM, and a good coaching staff.

The Garrett / Jones regime was ushered in around the same time as the Carroll / Schneider regime.

One team looks like a burgeoning dynasty. The other looks light years away.

Yes, it's amazing isn't it. Seahawks have rebuilt themselves twice since the last time they went to the Super Bowl. Then I come on here and hear about how Garrett still needs more time, he was handed the worst team in the history of football in 2010. please.....

 

[Seven]

I'm not really sure what the point is of noting Seattle's coming increase in cap woes.

I agree. That's how bad it is here. We revel in other teams upcoming financial woes. Sad really.

Point is......they made progress and were competitive and look to continue that with their culture and management set up. Makes for great fan football seasons.

Dallas has built a shiny new stadium with a force field that wards off embarrassment.

 

[chicago JK]

It is so depressing. In the parity nfl, I can certainly see Dallas winning 10 games next year, but I can also see them winning 5. Either way, they are not a legit championship contender. The hope we have is this team has two really good off seasons the next two years. And this team has proven they cannot stack good off seasons together. Even if they found a way, who knows where Romo will be in 2 years. Knowing our luck our talent will be improved but we will be totally unprepared at QB when Romo is no longer elite.

 

[KB1122]

I would say this ... we need to get more physical to compete. We did that, actually, along the OLine in one year. So it isn't five years off, if you draft well. The problem is that our quarterback, even if he is good enough, probably doesn't have enough window left. And we're committed to him for the next 17 years.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Well, I do agree with your premise, but in a couple years, when we might actually field a talented and deep team, Seattle won't be able to afford half the talent they have. They have done it the right way and it got them a Superbowl so I applaud them. I think they are on the build up/tear down/rebuild model though.

You are correct.
Success in the NFL breed salary competitiveness among players and many will seek their fortune elsewhere before long.

Can you see Seattle coming up with enough monies to pay the QB, Chancellor, Big-Mouf Sherman, Lynch, Smith et. al?

Money matters will undo that Seattle teamin 2 years.
Meanwhile, in 2 years, we'll be listening to Romo in a post-game conference tell us that he and the rest of the team must and will do better and they half to improve.
Witten will be too old, Dez out of control, Murray feeling the mold and Lee preaching unity on the sidelines with a leg/arm/neck brace.

Sometime I wish we'd just start from scratch as in Landry's first year or Jimma's first year. At least there was player passion and accountability then.

 

[fifaguy]

I might have been born at night but not last night. We are years from competing with those monsters in Seattle.

Agreed!

 

[Nexx]

not sure why romo is thrown into this.. if you really think he's the reason we have been 8-8 then cool. but he's also the only reason we havent been 4-12.

 

[birdwells1]

Find the Tom Ciskowski of that organization and you'll find where the real power lies.

Man. you're on a roll today.

 

[khiladi]

I find Seattle winning this way good, because it blows the excuses out of the park for Jerry and Garrett.

 

[khiladi]

Fans of every other NFL franchise are saying the same thing right now. Including Denver. The offseason is long, and a lot can happen in a year or two. Most of us weren't expecting to vault to Superbowl competitors in a few months, anyway.

Sorry, but comparing Denver fans to our fans continual misery after 8-8 without change absurd. Denver just got to the Super Bowl, improving in three years.

And in the real scheme of things, is there really much difference?

 

[Idgit]

Well, remember that I don't consider 8-8 to be miserable, to begin with. Frustrating but I consider us a team that's right on the cusp of contending and a good team if we had been able to fix the pass defense.

I also don't think that Denver team is special other than the WRs and the QB. They certainly didn't belong on the field with SEA and, honestly, I'm not sure a healthy Cowboys team wouldn't have given them a run for their money yesterday. I'M NOT SAYING WE'RE GOOD ENOUGH TO BE IN THE SUPERBOWL THERE. Only that Denver sure looked like a mediocre team themselves when they couldn't pass at will against a porous secondary.

defensively. yes. you don't become #1, dominant defense after the disaster we had last couple of years.

I also hear how Garrett has completely overhauled the roster during his tenure.

Well Seattle has done the same thing in that time frame. Only 4 players on their Roster are leftover from the previous regime. I guess the difference is that their GM overhauled the roster with good players. And we just overhauled the roster.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Seattle is resigning Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman this offseason. They will draft responsibly. We are totally screwed with the cap and a psychopathic owner. We are light years away from the team we just saw. Light years.

how do you know they will draft responsibly:? the same thing was said of Patriots and they are so good at drafting and they have had quite a few misses since their championships.

Seattle drafted Irvin in the first to be a pass rusher and he has been average and part time players. they go lucky on 5th and 7th round picks. will they get lucky again? things change quickly at the top.
