Garrett And Hurd Vs. Champ: Were Cowboys Having A 1994 Flashback?

Mr. Yips needs to be benched after his next game-changing turnover, a la Bledsoe. Unfortunately, the beleaguered Phillips lacks the balls to make such a change; thus he needs to go first, and the time to fire Phillips is seven days away during the bye.

…do they not send Witten out on either of those pass plays..? :-/

Is it too late to hire Sean Payton back?

One can see it in his eyes right now. He is thinking to much. He is almost afraid of making a mistake and forcing passes. After the loss to the Giants he is trying to find a balance between being aggressive and being cautious and it is messing with his head right now.

But the end of the game gave me some hope that he can turn it around and get his swagger back.

Other sugesstions

1) Fire Wade and JG
2) Run the ball two strait and make a short pass on 3rd down. Witten anyone?
3) Go to movies, dinners, or sleep with his receivers (not like that – like camping ;-) ). ANYTHING to get some chemistry working here
4) Demote Crayton and put Miles or Hurd ahead of him
5) Throw more to MB in the Red Zone
6) Send Romo to a hypnotist or to yoga classes, anything to calm his over thinking brain down
7) Keep a back in more often to cover blitzes
8) Let Romo call the plays over JG

Sad thing is, Witten is kept in to block on big plays far too often because we don’t trust our O-line.

2007 Giants playoffs game. 4th down. Witten in to block. Sunday, 4th down, Witten in to block.

He is our number one passing option, yet we’re keeping our best pass-catching target in to block?

Terrible coaching, terrible execution, and terrible everything.

Our weakness at WR really showed itself yesterday. Denver scored on a 40-something yard TD because of a playmaker at WR. We couldn’t even score after a Romo-Magic throw on 4th down, and then again down near the goal line.

Ouch.

but there is very little nightlife in KC so at least Romo will only have the great BBQ as a distraction

who were saying the Cowboys were going to be a better offense without Terrell Owens? That we would be a better team by subtracting one of the best All-time NFL WRs. That now Romo doesn’t have to worry about focusing on WR, and that our young WR’s were the answer.

The offense has regressed, and we have no big play capability. It’s pretty bad when the game is in Romo’s hand that you just pray that he doesn’t throw an interception. Romo looks like he has lost all confidence out there, and this offense looks to him as their leader. He just doesn’t look like he’s having fun anymore.

Say what you want about T.O., but he made this team better and he made Romo and Garrett look better. When the game was on the line he demanded the ball be in his hands.

This can’t all be blamed on Romo though. Jason Garrett wanted to get rid of T.O. as well, and now he’s seeing his offense without that WR threat. Jason Garrett’s play calling has just been horrible.

In summary, this Romo-friendly offense..sucks.

Let the drive for Roger Staubach’s mentoree begin… the Dallas Cowboys need Colt McCoy.

That is why you hit in training camp. You push players in training camp, push them hard (demand perfection in running plays right)) push them hard physically (hit people in practice so they know how to tackle). When you run a soft camp. CAMP CUPCAKE. and during the season your coach is a cup cake unwilling to make players practice hard (see Brookings comments) you have a soft underachieving team. Jerry needs to fire wade now and give Garrett a change to prove himself. Sure, we won’t have Defensive coordinator, but it doesn’t seem to be working now, and 8-8 is unacceptible

were a 9-7 8-8 team. I don’t think so anymore. This is a 6-10 7-9 team. Emmit was right. and it could get a lot worse than that. Remember this team quit on wade last year, Wade lost this team at the end of the year (different than quit). and that WILL happen at the end of the year. December will be very very ugly. and before you mark down an L for kansas city next week.. Felix is still out, R. Williams is out and P Watkins is starting at safety, cause sensabaugh has a broken thumb and is out 4 weeks

the thing that bothers me with this team is how it is being run. my best example is miles austin. Why is miles austin even playing? he was clearly out played in camp by ogletree and hurd. but he is still above them on the depth chart. Why on reputation? what reputation, he has done nothing, ever. but he gets treated like he has talent. He has never shown it. He is too old to have potential. Think of what that does to your team. other players look at that and can’t help but think……. “it doesn’t matter how hard i work, i will still not move up on the depth chart, even if i player better than the guy above me” so the support players don’t work as hard, because there is no hope of ever moving up.

Is the fact that romo keep saying “we will look at the film and do better next time”…!! After every game he says the same thing! I like to know when is this "next time"! He is always surprised by the opponent’s defense, as if he was not ready to play them, and he will learn from that experience and do better "next time". And the next time he is surprised AGAIN and will do better NEXT time. Well, I think, he has been figured out by the opponents as a fraud that he is… Just put some pressure on him and he will crumple and will hand the game to the opponents.

It’s like the players have no repricussions for playing like crap.

This team will question the coaching and calls as it did last year…just like we are.

Romo might just be riding pine.
