The Lost Decade

And I couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately I’m not sure Jerry ever will look in the mirror when pondering his team’s problems so we may have to except that a couple more decades of irrelevance are in our future as Cowboys fans.

But it doesn’t make it any better because we were in the position to win. I’m not arguing with anything you’re saying, but I feel this team has the talent to play with anyone. Unfortunately, my argument equates talent with potential, and to quote the Tuna, “Potential means you haven’t done sh#t”. Which is right.

Last year the media anointed the Cowboys as the Super Bowl champs. Too bad the Cows bought into that.

the 70’s followed by the 90’s. Maybe the 10’s?

We have to hope we get lucky, and Jerry hires a young coach that he thinks will be a pawn, who then tells Jerry to back off. And then maybe Jerry listens.

Look I don’t mind much of Jerry the GM when it comes to drafting. He’s had some pretty good drafts in recent memory, and has drafted some late round gems.

What I don’t like is Jerry undermining his coaches. What’s the odds that IF we had some superstars playing bad, Wade would be able to get away with benching them like Coughlin did? Slim to none.

There is no accountability with our players. And the coaches continue to get the blame.

The look on Jerry’s face when he wasn’t hiding it in his hands was telling. Now that we have shown ourselves to be one of the ‘just above average’ teams in the NFL again, we may even miss the playoffs this year. All this hammers home the point that the problem all this time has consistently been Jerry.

I have been lax on him because he seemed willing to change (see Big Bill). But it was all smoke and mirrors. He must now make the decision to fire a man he likes, Wade. He may even have to let Garrett go since his offense has been anemic over this whole season. If this group did not work out only one person is to blame. Jerry!

With the huge bills coming due on Jerry’s World, he may be forced by the business of the Cowboys to go a different direction (probably for just a few years) and hire a strong football presence. Maybe a Cowher or someone like him. (as an aside, you would think Jerry would have enough experience to be a football guy by now but he will not stop cowtowing to the players)

When the bank calls, Jerry needs someone to fire up the base and get butts in seats. A strong coach/GM may just do that.

One of the reasons the Suites at the stadium sold so well this year was that every major contractor was required to get a suite. Do not know for how long but they will probably cut and run when they can unload the suite.

Even Jerry has to pay the bills. That alone my force him to change. Hope springs eternal.

these great ideas…. and everybody wants change and needs change. Look I get you… this season has been filled with up and downs, great games and unbearable games. I don’t really want to concede this season until it’s over, but for the sake of argument I will talk about this coming year and years. 1st. well, is we don’t make the playoffs Wade is probably gone (fair or unfair).

But, now everybody is saying bring in Shannahan, bring in Cowher.

let’s start with Cowher, If that phantom offensive pass interference call isn’t made against Seattle, he probably goes down as one of those guys that were good, but always lost in the playoffs.

Shanahan- he won 2 SB with Elway and TD, and did absolutely nothing since. nothing. towards the end of his run, they were awful. every year they got worse, their defense was among the worst in the league, and their offense couldn’t outscore anybody,

and some people here want shanahan? did you watch his team play football the last 3 years? are you serious? you think our defense has trouble making stops now….. lol Shanahan really?

And people are so sure another coach will fix everything. Just like that, the talent issues and intangibles lacking will be cured when Wade is gone!!! WHOOOOO… Wade is at fault for everything… everything!!!

Just like people were so sure getting rid of TO would fix everything…. and yet we’re the same collapsing December team through 13 games, that we were last year.

it’s called an excuse. a scapegoat. Wade Phillips. a guy with an almost 2:1 win ratio must be at fault for all of Dallas’s issues.

Everybody seems to be an expert. and the problem with that is that everybody is always right in their own mind, even when they are dead wrong.

Remember when Denver was shopping Jay Cutler? how many people how many of you on this site were all for shipping Romo for Cutler? there were tons of people saying Cutler was better, more talented, better upside? are you happy we don’t have Cutler now? are you happy we don’t have Cutler’s 22 interceptions?

But the real problem is Jerry right? it has to be. It must be.

Here’s what people need to do: Jerry will do whatever he wants. He owns the team he’ll hire his people and sign his players, he’ll draft who he wants and play who he wants. ACCEPT IT….once again……ACCEPT IT. no need to say “jerry is ruining the team, they won’t ever be good again”. Enough with the Jerry has to change or this team will never get better. If you feel that way you’re better of finding a new team b/c Jerry isn’t changing. Accept it.

Quincy was the MAN!

but don’t believe JJ’s ego will allow him to cede control as he still believes HE won those 3 Big Soupbones.
 Let’s hope for JJ going to a home sooner rather than later so the reins can be transfered to Stephen since I believe SJ understands the word: “delegation”.
