Around SBN: Purdue wins Paradise Jam Tournament 73-72

Dallas Cowboys embarrassed in rout by Rams 34-14

Rams 34 - Cowboys 14

The enormity of the Dallas Cowboys' ineptitude is astounding. It's hard to define using mere words.

We just got blown out by a team that had one win this year before entertaining the Cowboys at their home. The St. Louis Rams were one of those teams that the rest of the league dismissed as the dregs of the NFL. Even after they beat the Redskins last week a lot of that was attributed to the mistakes that Washington made. In this game, they flat-out embarrassed a Cowboys team that has fallen so far so fast, that just witnessing their descent can give you a case of the bends, even before a rapid ascent, which may not even be on the horizon.

The players, the coaching staff and the organization as a whole should be held accountable for this debacle that is quickly on its way to a season-long calamity. Since there is no accountability for Jerry Jones, we can only hope that he starts enforcing some below him. Wade Phillips has seemingly lost the ability to make even the X's and O's work, let alone do anything that could be considered inspiring. Brian Stewart is not measuring up as a defensive coordinator. Whatever the qualifications that Phillips thought Stewart possessed have never become apparent. His defense is softer than Charmin. Jason Garrett has gone from wunderkind to just wondering. This staff is failing in a big way and it's hard to believe that they can turn it around anytime soon.

But don't get lost in just blaming the coaches. These players are not just less than the sum of their parts, they are in negative territory. Across the board there are breakdowns and they are unable to right themselves. One of the most talented rosters the NFL has seen in a while is playing like a one-legged drunk trying to walk a tightrope. It's beyond pitiful. I've run out of descriptions to describe this effort.

So let's go the less eloquent route. This Dallas Cowboys football team blows chunks. They suck. Their season is slipping away and they don't seem to have any idea how to resurrect it.

They can still rescue the season, but nothing indicates they know how. Until further notice, this team is an underdog in every game they play. When you lose 34-14, you should be embarrassed. Even that may not be enough to wake this team up.

Top Down Failure - What Are Coaches Paid For??

Jerry Jones has assembled one of the most talented teams in pro football. He’s a risk taker who wants nothing more than winning.

Wade Phillips should not be coach of the Cowboys come Monday afternoon. He has no concept of leadership or motivation. He’s defensive in his press conferences and preaches no accountability in his players. Tony Romo should be leader of this team but he just isn’t a leader at this point. Brian Stewart should deeply fear his job, and Jason Garrett should realize he’s not guaranteed a damn thing.

I can’t remember being this disgusted as a Cowboys fan in years. We’re poised to have a losing record and no first round pick. Something needs to happen to unite this team, but it’s not going to happen with this piss-poor excuse for a coach and this team full of underachieving, arrogant, stupid, sloppy, prideless players.

Romo is not a leader... now

Look at his body language, Terry, after a bad drive he sulks off the field like he’s suffering from food poisoning. Leaders fall down, but they pick themselves back up. Romo is a kid with a golden arm and a Jedi sense in the pocket, but he doesn’t have the first idea about being a leader. It’s obvious here none of the coaches nor anyone on the roster is.

Does he motivate? Does he get in their faces?

No and no. We’re on the same page that he’s a great player, Terry, but he’s not one who inspires. He doesn’t take players with their heads down and make them stand tall. Leadership is as intangible as anything, and he’s just not exhibiting any signs of it.

I did

I said he leads by his play just like many other great leaders.

Its funny how Peyton Manning is sitting over on the sideline with the exact same face and mannerisms as Romo as Colts are losing, but I guess he’s not a leader either.

Leaders lead by their play, I don’t any other way to say it.

Manning is a proven leader

Who has won a Super Bowl and 4 straight division titles. He got the start right away and by his 2nd year the Colts went 13-3.

Tony Romo? Come on, he shows some flashes of brilliance, but he always tries to do too much and that costs him. He is in a way, a prima donna, and if I were you, I’d actually watch this Cowboys team and see although Romo is a good player, he can’t help but being the hero instead of the leader, there is a difference.

Wake up, smell the coffee, Tony Romo isn’t a great leader, and if leaders lead by their play then this team is screwed.

Nope. Actually, the curse of "Hard Knocks HBO."

Hard Knocks has aired four times.

Before the 2008 version, the Ravens, Chiefs, and Cowboys (during the Campo HC years) agreed to do the Training Camp documentary.

None of those three teams made the playoffs that season.

Could the curse continue for the Cowboys after their second-time showing on Hard Knocks?

Stay tuned.

The only good thing that comes from this loss in my opinion is that I think

the expectations for this team will be a bit more grounded. I already feel that way as a fan and hopefully that’ll translate to the team taking on that “nobody believed in us/we were left for dead” attitude that seems to work so well for motivation.

Romo should have listened to Favre.

Favre recognized that Romo not playing would crush this team’s spirit. I don’t know if Tony chose not to play or if the coaches held him out, but the fact that he could play and didn’t set the tone for the rest of the team. If their leader isn’t going to gut it out, why should they give any effort?

I blame Wade Phillips just as much. All year long it’s been excuses after excuses. It’s no one’s fault, he doesn’t assign blame, etc. I’ve been saying it since the Cleveland game – they haven’t played a complete game all season. That’s coaching.

If Romo Not Playing Is the Problem

How do we explain their soggy line performance against Washington, the awful special teams in Arizona, and sluggishness against Cincinnati? If their spirits were crushed because Romo didn’t play, why did they start off with a great drive for a touchdown?

by kindablue on Oct 19, 2008 3:48 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He had the chance to step up.

Clearly this team has no fire or leadership. Romo had a chance to take that role and run with it. People need a leader. I feel certain that the team wanted him to do it. When he didn’t, they reverted to their typical form. Play hard to start the game, then just go through the motions as soon as the other team punches them in the mouth. Romo risking his season for them may have inspired them to keep fighting instead of just rolling over like they did. I can’t say that it would have been better if he played, but it sure didn’t work out with him not playing. Everyone was saying, “Oh, it’s just the Rams. We don’t need Romo, we’ve got this one.” And sure enough we got our asses kicked. I’m sure the excuse this week will be the injuries and distractions, just like last week it was that they are a division leader, and against the Redskins that we only lost by 2.

Take away the excuses! If Romo can play, he should. There’s a risk of injury every week.

1-3 in the past 4 weeks.

This team is playing poorly and getting worse every week. I haven’t seen anything in the past 4 weeks that leads me to believe they will be better than 6-10. I’m not saying that Roy W. is a bad player, just that a first rounder in the back 10 is a great trade, even if he would have ended up on your team as it means you are winning with him on the team. As badly as the team is playing, it doesn’t matter how good he is, it won’t help this year. If that pick turns out to be #10, it’s a major blow to a team that clearly needs defensive help and would have probably gotten him anyway.

It was pretty clear Brad cannot play from behind, that was the main factor in the loss. Those were some horrible passes he was forced to throw to play catch up. He’s lucky he didn’t throw 5 or 6 INT’s. With Romo back next week (there is no way Brad will start another game), the offense should be alright.

Even though RW2 didn’t contribute right away this week, he’s still going to be a playmaker for this team. If we had a quarterback who could get a ball downfield without underthrowing it, we might have been in this game.

I'm not saying that based on his performance.

I think he’s going to do great and am excited he’s on the team. I’m saying that if that pick is in the top 10, then we wasted it on a guy that can’t help us this year and would have likely joined the team next year anyway.

I still can't believe I watched that

What the heck just happened?

The opening drive, right down the field, TD. I thought to myself… ok… this week won’t be so bad. Then, The Rams answer with a quick strike, and the Cowboys went home. I saw no effort, no fire by this team. Something has to change. I don’t know what that something is, but something has to change.

I know we can’t lay all the blame on any single players, but Anthony Henry continues to be a liability to this team. Keith Davis, special teams ace that he is, is no Roy Williams. I promise you that if Roy had been in there, we wouldn’t have had Stephen Jackson racking up 160 yards on the ground… now they might have gotten another 160 in the air if Roy was in there, but you takes your chances. When is RW1 coming back?

Depends on your perspective.

The real question is would that player be a bigger improvement over someone else than Roy W is over Crayton and Austin? And, would Dallas have been able to acquire Roy or someone similar in the offseason anyway? I think Jerry honestly thought he was the puzzle piece for a Super Bowl run, but clearly more than another star WR is missing.

If Emmitt Smith can play with a broken shoulder, Romo should at least ATTEMPT to play with a broken pinkie. There’s more potential problems of perception for Romo right now. Just like when he went to Mexico.

Separated shoulders

Depending on the severity can be sometimes worse than breaking the shoulder, but in Emmitt’s case it was NOT as bad as a break would have been

Me, either.

If it wasn’t Romo’s decision, then I’m not slamming him. I think it was a bad decision for the team, and took an opportunity for Romo to really put the team on his back away from him. That’s especially bad, because this team clearly needs some leadership. Whether that was Romo, Wade, or Jerry’s decision, the result was the same.

This is good

and after his blown assignment in the first quarter I half jokingly wished he would break the other arm. I feel bad for him, too bad he didn’t just retire mid season. A lot of the posters on here were saying it was Henry’s fault, but that over the top help was Roy’s assignment and as you saw, he failed miserably. In fact, everytime he has over the top assignment he fails. See ya Roy!

I do appreciate the Cowboys making sure it was decided early.

No hanging around waiting for last minute heroics with an onside kick. No Folk FG to make it a tie. No overtime. No need for me to even break out the rally cap. I got to keep all of my finger nails too. No trying to over analyze one or two key plays that cost us the game. No outbursts of a string of profanity when the clock shows 00:00. They let me start digesting the loss early…real early…I was on a morphine drip and by the end of the game I wasn’t feeling anything. You can shoot me know it won’t even hurt.

If you are on a well that requires a lot of salt, citric acid, etc., they are not a good solution. If on public water or a good well, they’re great, give you endless hot water, and cut your electric bill. In my old house, it cost me about 300 to buy and install one, and it cut about 20 bucks a month off my electric bill. Of course, I live in Florida, so my water doesn’t get real cold. They might not be right for cold weather states.

This team plays like they practice----SOFT with NO IDENTITY

You punch this team in the mouth and they fold like a cheap suit. The starting QB is one step above average, since game one of the season, his play has gotten worse, poor mechanics, poor footwork, poor decisions and doesn’t protect the ball and looks to much for the big play by forcing balls into double coverage. The better team lost week two, that was the Eagles game and since that game this team has been in a free fall.

The Offensive line isn’t helping Romo out by any means, three and four rushers blow by our O-line like they were pilons. There is no fire by this group. Penalties, penalties, week after week by the same guys.

T.O, who was given an extension before the season, something I thought was a major mistake, shows he is nothing more than a posession receiver. He cant get off press coverage anymore and it’s not like he was ever that good before doing so, Age is catching up with him. T.O is no micheal Irvin, not even close. T.O may be a physical in appearance, but isn’t a physical player. The trade for Roy Williams was a desperation move IMO. I like Williams alot, he is the replacement for T.O and as I’ve said many times before the draft and preseason, you were NOT going to get Williams for just a first or a second round pick. As I mentioned many times, it would take atleast a first and a third and a player or another pick. Jerry traded for him because Crayton isn’t a number two receiver and it’s clear T.O cant get open if he’s punched in the mouth at the line, he just stops moving. This team makes too much of trying to get T.O the ball early and often, you’ll never win with that philosophy. You need balance..

This team has no identity. The headcoach has no control, the players know Jerry is the puppet master and is calling the shots. There is NO sign of urgency or desperation with this team. Garrett’s offensive play calling is all over the place, one week we pass to much, the next week we run too much, there is no balance and other teams have figured out what he’s trying to do on offense. Dalllas looks to much for the big play all the time.

The special teams are horrible, why Reid is still here is beyond me, I called for him to go after last year and Joe Avezzano to be brought in. For all those who though wade" Homer Simpson" Phillips was a better option as the headcoach, how do you like him now??? This team needs some tough love, but with Jerry running the show, and it’s nothing but a show with this team, not football and that’s the problem, too much garbage off the field with this team. Pacrat should of never been brought in here, he’s nothing but trouble, period. Jerry should of cut him two second after Goodell suspended him, but Jerry is an enabler and until Jerry’s out of the decision making with this team, this team will never win a superbowl.

This defense cant stop anybody, with all those first round picks and with all that money tied up in this group, it’s pathetic….. I never liked the 3-4 defense and Mr fix it needs an cource upgrade. I cant wait until Roy Willians is out of here, that guy is a spare…after the season, bye bye Roy..

You can forget about this team making the playoffs, they’re DONE!!! Get ready for an 8-8 season and the draft because this team isn’t winning anything….Same probem every year too many penaties, poor play calling, poor execution and too much Jerry Jones…. This team needs a no nonsense, in control head coach, I dont think garrett is ready for that job. Too many YES men in this organization, it needs more no guy to stand up to Jerry.

Has been a major disappointment. Way too predictable, almost completely lacking in thought or creativity. Reminds of me Parcells. Run Barber on first down, pass to Witten or Owens on third and long.

Also agree the team is soft as butter on a hot day. The team needs a taskmaster who isn’t senile like Parcells. Someone who is motivated, inspired and creative. Who is hard on his players, but gives them a good chance to win.

Defense

The most disappointing part of the game by far was the defense. In my lifetime, I’ve seen the Purple People Eaters, The Steele Curtain, The Doomsday, The Orange Crush, The great 85 Bears, and the 90’s Ravens. Today’s performance paved the way for the Dallas Pink Panties. This Cowboy’s defensive unit wakes up on Sunday and forgoes the standard jock-strap for their pink panties.

Oh and Wade Philips whom I NEVER liked, (even last year as they got off to a 12-1 start) has GOT TO GO! This man does not know how to prepare a football team. The Defense since he got here has NEVER been good. Ever. They’ve just benefited from a high scoring offense… until now.

Dallas will most likely be 4-5 heading into the break, which means at worst they’d have to go season 6-1 over the final 7 games to even dream of the playoffs. I have NO confidence that Wade can pull that off.

The guy has lost not one, but two steps in his game. He’s not going to bring anything to the table to help this team. He has enough problems with his ankles.

It's unlikely

But not impossible.

But it would take some radical changes in philosophy. Cupcake Wade will have to kick some rears and wake this team up.

Think about it…

Even if we lose the next 2 games, and go into the bye at 4-5.

The Redskins game, Romo will be back. Felix will be back. Possibly Kosier will be back. Newman will be back. RW2 will have a few games under his belt.

We could easily go on a 6-1 run. Why not? We did even better last year.

But for that to happen, some leadership needs to get people in line, both from the players and the coaches. Oh, and Stewart needs to give up playcalling to Wade.

EVEN IF we are 4-5 at the break, we pull off the Redskins game and anything can happen. After the Skins we have…

49ers and Seahawks at home. Should be wins IF we get our stuff together after the bye.

@Steelers will be a tough one.

Giants and Ravens at home. ANYTHING can happen in a rivalry game. The Ravens I think we could handle as well. Then we finish in Philly.

Now I know I’m going out on a limb here by saying that we can get our stuff together after the bye week, but I have faith in our team.

Never underestimate the effect of injuries, and the effect of getting those players back.

And never again underestimate the value of Antonio Romo.

I agree with Terry on this one

Firing Wade would send a bad signal first of all. Could easily make it harder to get a quality coach in here in the future, a la Al Davis. The only coach that may possibly get fired is Bruce Read, and I think that wouldn’t be a bad move. Send a signal to the coaches. Something else that may need to happen is taking the D play calling away from Stewart.
We are getting eaten alive with our zone coverages. I think we’ve got to start playing more press coverage. It certainly cant hurt too much and would play to the supposed strengths of our CBs.
This D has got to start generating some turnovers too.

wade’s strength was supposed to be how good his D’s have been. At some point, he has got to show why they brought him in here and fix this D

JJ didn't ax Switzer, Gailey, or Campo in mid-season. It won't start now.

The good news is that Tony R. was seen wearing his cap in a correct, bill-front manner.

also let me add this...

and this is coming from a die hard eagles fan who sometimes wants to throw his own coach into the river…

but until the cowboys get rid of Wade Philips, they’ll never be as good as they could be. Wade just exudes failure. Its a shame really. He is a major waste of JJ’s money

But just to be a nice guy… keep in mind that 2 weeks ago everyone stuck a fork in the Eagles, and now they look to have as good a chance as anyone. Its only week 7. keep that in mind befre you jump off the bridge

thanks for the kind words... and thanks for showing class.

I don't want

to blame only the coaches. I know the players sucked big time and deserve a big part of the blame. I just want someone fired. That’s all. Is that too much to ask?? If it has to be Stewart then so be it. I can’t even go out of my damn house in the daylight right now because my a**hole Rams fan neighbor is just waiting for me. I’m living in a frigging prison and am wondering how many of my “sympathetic” Ram fan co-workers will all of the sudden want to talk football with me tomorrow morning. Thanks a lot Cowboys. Maybe I’ll just call in sick…

I'll nominate

Brucie Read and Stewie for chopping block consideration.

I think a lot of the blame does fall on the coaches.

I mean it comes down to the fact that these players are not prepared, disciplined, or motivated and that falls on the coaches. This all goes back to Wade as much as I hate to say it, it’s hard to blame Marshmellow Man, but I’ve came to the realization that he is a coach not a leader. We need someone who is not going to put up with constant nonsense that surrounds the cowboys and inspire some of these players to be vocal leaders. Someone other than TO, since he has to hold back b/c the media jumps all over it, needs to step up and hold the players accountable on the field. Instead of sulking on the bench feeling sorry for your self.
