Most Penalized Team in the league...

... is our very own Dallas Cowboys.

Coming into December, I was on the fences about Wade. I was more on the keep-Wade camp. But maybe the stinging of the loss is just too recent, but I've switched camps.

I love our players. And I think we have the best positional coaches in the league.

It's discipline and intensity this team lacks, and I'm choosing to blame both on the highest level of coaching. Sure, there were injuries, but those happen to every team. Good teams win in spite of injuries, they don't blame injuries for their losses.

Fire Wade. Fire Brian Stewart. Fire, yes, Jason Garrett, or at least diminish his role until he can learn to vary his playcalling (it's embarassing how predictable our offense has become -- I don't think it's any coincidence that our best offense play last game came on an improvised play). Fire, tar and feather Bruce Read.

Hire Cowher.

But I hope whoever takes the reins of Dallas next season keeps most of the players and position coaches in place (particularly Campo, Sherman, Peete, Houck and Grantham).

dont hire cowher

we saw what happened when parcells coached
we all thought he could get us a superbowl and we still have all the same mistakes and penalties and awful december play
i say if we do fire wade we should get josh mcdaniels or a younger coach with a ‘modern’ outlook (sorry cant find a better word)
we need someone that is willing to try new things, that’s going to make our offense better again
our defense is slightly above average this has been revealed now, the only reason we were any good is because scandrick shut down the slot and newman did well in man coverage which let our ferocious pass rush get sack after sack
teams figured this out just like they figured out the weaknesses our o-line
opponents started feasting on the intermediate routes mainly because of the lack of a good ss and started protecting better against out d-line and voila our defense is back to where it began
back to the young coaching idea, we need a younger coach that wont hesitate to put in rookies or put henry at fs and hamlin at ss or w/e
look what harbough did or sporano or smith did
they’re not all young but they were willing to try new things and utilize the strengths of the team…i mean we never did the wildcat stuff because of the notion that our offense is too good to try cheap antics..yet the ravens burned us with it and when we unexpectintly tried it in the game sunday it resulted in a 50 yard gain
we also need to fire reed and maybe houck

Superbowl or Bust?
