Tale of 2 extremes ... can we please calm it?

What a breath of fresh air. If I wasn’t up to my eyeballs in training for my Soldiers right now, I would pen my thoughts as well. This is by far not even close to the worst team we have ever seen from the Cowboys. People need to get off suicide alert and chill the “f” out……

You sound like me…I’m one of the voices of reason at MileHighReport.com. I’m very excited about the Broncos chances this year…like you I think they will win the AFC West, but hey…this is JUST week 4! We have New England next week…that is all I care about right now…how are we going to beat them? PLAYOFFS!? YOUR TALKING PLAYOFFS!?….PLAYOFFS!? One week at a time please. Start talking playoffs when you’ve clinched a birth…start trash-talking playoffs when you’ve clinched home-field advantage for goodness sake! Until then, you have accomplished NOTHING.

Back to the Cowboys: You guys will run all day vs the chefs…and I’m not just saying that because they are a hated division rival…their team is still rebuilding and they are not playing well at all. If I were a Cowboy fan, I’d have a lot of faith in your ground game vs KC.

Also, their passing game doesn’t scare me at all. Double Bowe, put 7 in the box and make them throw the ball.

I’ve been saying this for a month now, it’s too early to draw conclusions about this team or any other for that matter.

This team will create it’s identity after the bye week when they face Atlanta, Seattle, Philly, and GB.

I think we’ll see if the naysayers are right and the team is truly mediocre, or if this team will prove them wrong. Should be fun to watch.

they fought hard, did not quit and it was a rough game until the end. I am glad to see that they are sticking together and acknowledge that they have to play better and stick up for each other. Anyone else think the msm wants RW to become TO, you can see the same questions and you can tell that RW is aware of what they are trying to get at.

Romo needs to find his rhythm, in the past those plays that went over the WR heads would have been completions, but he has this season to find his way; he is not going to be benched for a performance like that.

What happened to Stewie?

I gave it a rec. I’m with you because the big point right now is 2-2. We got problems, they may be fixable, but we won’t know until they play the games.

BTW, I use ‘we’ for the Cowboys all the time. It is convenient shorthand, but it’s also how I feel. This team would not exist except for us fans. I consider myself a very minor stockholder in the organization, and make no apologies for using ‘we’ when discussing the Cowboys.

Look back last year and you’ll find someone else posting the exact same thing.
Look back to the season before and you’ll find someone else posting the exact same thing.
Exactly when is it time to panic?

Their record going in 4 games? 2-2.

Fans wanted to part ways with Eli Manning? Yes.

Was their season over? No.

The only way in which a season can be over after 4 games is if something goes seriously wrong in the health department.

My God, it seems no matter what we do – we suck. We win? We didn’t win big enough or weren’t sharp enough – we lose? we’re the worst team ever. I know we as a team live in a fishbowl, much like the Yanks and the Lakers, and that’s fine but dang..get it together.

I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned this yet (probably have since there’s about 10,000 collective comments and posts regarding yesterday’s game), but remember the last 2 seasons? Remember how good the Cowboys looked through four games in ‘07 and ’08? They looked awesome. Romo looked awesome. We were Super Bowl bound. Then we sucked balls down the stretch, and “better luck next year” happened. Now, I’m not saying it’s going to be the exact opposite because we started off slow last year, but in football — and in life — it’s never beneficial to to peak too early. Recent examples of peaking too early: ’07 Pats, ’07 Cowboys, ’08 Jets. Recent examples of peaking late: ’07 Giants, ’05 Steelers, ’08 Steelers.

The bottom line is, the Cowboys are 2-2 with an “easy” game and a bye coming up. Most of their problems are fixable, and it sets up perfectly for us to peak late and go on a nice run. Whether or not Garrett, Wade and Romo can fix the problems remains to be seen, but there’s a lot of football to be played.

I’m laughing at the guys on the ledge

Posts like these will at least make me feel better about watching this team next week. I know it is early in the season and there is a lot of football left to play. But as a fan of this team, a true fan that would watch every game and root just as hard if we had an 0-16 season, something about this team just doesn’t sit well with me.

I like all the guys we have playing and think the criticism thrown their way is often harsh and driven by a MSM that would love for this team to fail. But there is still something about this team that just isn’t right.

Truth be told, we have played four weeks of pretty bad and inconsistent football and are 2-2. Things could be worse but NOW is the time to right the ship and start the climb.

I get that the season is only a quarter over but what exactly have any of you seen in the past from Wade or Garrett that gives you any sort of confidence moving forward?

Notice I did not mention Romo because we have all seen Romo play much better than this. I think that this is him trying to play conservatively and it is ugly. If he can’t let loose his skills in a conservative gameplan then I say let him loose and live with the consequences.

But for coaching, Wade has never done anything as a headcoach that would lead me to believe he can turn this team around and Garrett is a freaking enigma, quite frankly. Some of his play calls are just unexplainable and the preseason is the time for tinkering, not in the 4th game of the season.

If this team weren’t “established” and in some sort of rebuilding mode, I’d have more hope but it is really hard for me to convince myself that the head guys are suddenly going to “turn it on” and inspire this team to greatness.

We will bitch, hope and pray the coaches see the same problems we do and address them. Wade doesn’t inspire me that way, but I’ve been wrong before { just ask my wife}. We will support them each week anyway . They are the Cowboys.

After some time and thought I realized there were a lot of posts born of frustration. I used to say much worse things about this team during particularly bad performances. The difference was, it wasn’t recorded on a website for later playback thank god. I realized I said some things that were way out of bounds and I said them because I was highly pissed after a loss. Maybe people should wait an hour or two after a game to say whats on their minds but this website is lit up like a christmas tree during a game. Thats why I generally refuse to read the game day comments or just skim over them at best.

definitely what I’ve been thinking. Some fans must like to go to pieces after a loss. No one expected the Cowboys to go 16-0, it’s not like we’ve been blown out, nor are we watching a team that’s 0-4. 2-2 which could have been 4-0 with a few less mistakes.

too high or too low. The last couple of years, at this point, a lot of people had the Cowboys Super Bowl bound, and look how that turned out.

I also agree with what some others have said here: Let Romo be Romo. He’s not cut out to be a bus driver, and I get the feeling it’s driving him crazy.

Weird.

Are we going to see a total meltdown of the blog for each one? A fire Wade-Garrett-Romo-Roy-Newman-Ware-the waterboy thread? Can’t we have more than a tiny bit of faith that they will right the ship? This team has played better, and will play better again. I’m not sure why Romo was so off all game long, but do we really expect him to be that way from now on, seriously?

Some of you, jeez, get a grip already. This is a good team, not a perfect team, with room for improvement and not even playing to their usual standards. They will make adjustments and come out next week and do their best again, that’s all they can do. What are we, the fans, to expect of them more than that?

If they succeed, great, if they fail, they fail, why turn it in to a life-or-death crisis?

This from a fan that is genuinely worried about some of the things I have seen from this team, and seriously want to see some improvement from them. I’m not throwing them under the bus, though. I’ll support them right up until they turn in their playbooks for the season, and then we shall see what next season brings.
