45-7, Cowboys Humiliated, Please Jerry Jones Do Something

Photo

They're fundamentally broken. The Dallas Cowboys of 2010 have plunged to the depths of the NFL; the absolute beatdown they took from the Green Bay Packers to the tune of 45-7 should be enough to wake up Jerry Jones. Something has to be done. If the most die-hard of Cowboys fans, and I count myself as one, no longer want to watch the games, then you have a serious problem. I don't even care who you replace Wade Phillips with, you could name Dave Campo coach on Monday morning and I'd be okay with it. Seriously.

The New York Giants game was the game that officially killed us, now we're just watching a decaying corpse. It's an old cliché; you can't fire the whole team so you fire the coach. Well, there is truth in that statement. The blame can be spread far and wide for this performance, but Jerry Jones isn't firing himself, so Wade is the guy who has to go. The point is, whatever you choose to do if you fire Wade, whoever you put in charge, it just doesn't matter. This team is disintegrating; just give us a reason to watch them again. You can't keep foisting back-to-back blowouts on us where the Dallas Cowboys look like a jayvee team masquerading as NFL players.

Star-divide

Maybe we're overreacting, maybe we're spoiled. There are plenty of teams that have been this bad for much longer than what we're experiencing. So if you want to call us out on that, feel free to do it, you'd be right. But that also doesn't change how most of us are feeling right now, and that is there's no reason for Wade to continue coaching this team.

Chronicling the mistakes and bad play of the actual game tonight is like telling someone how earthquakes occur when one just destroyed their house. Does it really matter? Probably not. The Green Bay Packers toyed with the Cowboys. The Jacksonville Jaguars did the same a week ago. They didn't just beat the Cowboys, they humiliated them.

1-7. The 2010 Dallas Cowboys have imploded. Let Wade off the hook. He's a dead man walking, put him out of his misery.

At least it would feel good.

Nothing about this team right now feels good. I had to stop watching I was so frustrated. I can’t wait till all the Packer backers come into work today.

Wade has lost this team.

Time to make a change. Even though it means nothing for this season. Jerry’s got to prove that something is going to change.

Wade’s toast. The players on the field know it. It shows in their lack of effort. Why allow him to finish out the year? Jerry needs to show this team that he means business, whether that means jobs lost in the coaching staff, on the field, or in the front office.

Something’s got to give.

I’ll throw in $200 + for an authentic Jersey and $30 bucks for a goddamn hat.

And what do I get in return? 1-7, are you kidding me? And not even an injury plagued 1-7 were most of our team is decimated to injuries. We got 1-7 from a team that quit the moment the season turned on them after the bye week and once Romo went down for the count. Except for Dez, this time is lifeless.

What's the point of firing Wade now

Unless, either

1) Garret is a serious candidate for the job next season

2) Jerry can bring in his guy from outside now (an unheard of proposition).

right now, the only thing we should be hoping for is McGee, Choice and other similar players to get some serious playing time.

by RisingSunCowboy on Nov 7, 2010 11:01 PM CST reply actions  

3) Get the attention of the damn locker room

Jerry has to let these friggin’ players know that they’re not above reprieve themselves. Firing Wade gives him the opportunity to let guys know that THEY could lose their jobs as well. It’s easy to give zero effort for a lame duck coach. But, you’d have to be a fool to not give a damn when it’s YOUR ass on the line.

by tkosmith on Nov 7, 2010 11:03 PM CST up reply actions  

Not that it's going to help

but you have to fire him now. We all know firing wade is not going to turn the season around but you just can not sit on your hands and watch this happen. What I have seen the past 3 weeks does not even resemble an nfl team. I don’t even get emotional during the games anymore. Someone has to fall on the sword and as the head coach Wade has to be the one to do it. If for nothing else but to make us all feel better for about 3 minutes.

It's almost like Wade has no self-respect.

He knows this has become a lame duck season, he knows (or he should be reasonably expected to know ) that this team has quit on him. What self-respecting person doesn’t flat out quit as head coach after this performance? Seriously, Wade. No amount of money left on that contract is worth my pride, dignity, and self-respect.

The same reason they should play McGee

To see what Garrett has, if anything.
Personally, I’d be rooting for him to fail so he’d be gone.

I sure would rather watch McGee and see what’s there than Kitna any more.

That was my point

if Garrett is a true candidate (and I hope he is not), then fine, give him the reins now. Otherwise, let Wade bench some players and start the transition to the next coach.

by RisingSunCowboy on Nov 7, 2010 11:44 PM CST up reply actions  

Seriously?

Neither Garrett, Wade, Sherman, or Coach D deserve to be back next year so why the hell NOT fire Wade and promote one of them just to see what we got. Make players earn their time to play, and give the coaches a chance to show other teams in the league that they can do something. Leaving Wade in charge doesn’t give anyone a reason to watch, at least a new coach would give SOMETHING. Seriously, this mentality is what got us to where we are now, and it is just flat out wrong.

by Zpomero1 on Nov 8, 2010 12:28 AM CST up reply actions  

Didn't the 49'ers fire their coach last year and put Singletary in charge?

And during his first game he benched a guy at halftime and said he didn’t want players like that on his team?

I don't remember what their record was last year when they fired their head coach.

Right. But we do agree that Dallas need an institutional change.

Why wait until the end of the season? Fire Wade now, show the team that you are committed to make a change, and start the interview process.

they’d have to have an interim coach until then. And I actually agree with you – lets see what Garrett can do for the rest of the season.

WTF is up with Jenkins? I can sorta understand his pass defense suffering because Ball is a totaly incompetent safety

but that complete failure of a tackle attempt at the goal line is pathetic. Sit his ass down for the next game just based on that alone

Hwat has Jenkins done to deserve to be on the field? Seriously, what has the guy done? Hell, stick McCann or whatever his name is that just got called up from the practice squad.

JENKINS could have tackled the ball carrier short of the goal line, and he just pulled, like “F It, this game and season is over, why get my jersey dirty?” and then sat on the sideline grinning.

So tell me, what has he done that says to you “Mike Jenkins deserves to be on the field”? What has he done?

This team is rotted with decay. You can salvage more wins from the future by sacrificing the bums who play for the team today.

Dawww personal attacks?

Well at least when I make fun of your team it’s about their terrible play on the field.

And as a matter of fact, I have IMMENSELY enjoyed having Ben as QB and winning us two more Super Bowls. One to tie, and then the other to surpass, you. It’s been slightly more enjoyable for me then watching the Cowboys play this year.

Only because it’s convenient to your position against the Steelers and an easy target for you to focus in on to discredit me. Unfortunately, no one gives a shit about your morals, especially on a situation that was proven to be made up by the accuser and not even rape to begin with at all.

Well aside from that one AFCCG. When you play the same team that many times for the championship a rivalry will spring up. It’s just something passed down from an older generation that we like to keep going.

Steeler fans are willing to look the other way on Ben for 2 reasons

1). It’s well known in the Pittsburgh area that he gets girls drunk and takes advantage of them.

2). He’s won them 2 Super Bowls. If he hadn’t, he’d be out in a heartbeat. It’s the hypocrisy of every sports fan of every team in the world.

Enough of this

If you look at the core of this team and how they preform when it matters the most, this team has gotten progressively worse since Wade has come in. The 13-3 year hit a brick wall towards the end of the season once the high from Parcells being gone left, and we thudded out bad against the Giants. The following season was filled with more underachiving as well as the loss of Romo, but don’t act like him being gone was the only reason we lost the season as this team under preformed then. Last season Dallas beat the teams they were suppose to beat, but aside from the Saints, who exactly did we beat who was any good? Philly twice? Please. All of this led to where we are now, a team that has gotten progressively worse since Wade has come in, and ultimately, the worst team in football this year. Wade has done NOTHING to help this team for the future, and no, he does not deserve the credit.

The simple fact of the matter is that this is the same team from last year.

And it’s basically the same team with the same problems from the last 2-3 years. For all the “talent” on this team, they’re not winners. Heck, I’m not even that convinced there is that much talent on this team to begin with -at least part of it is the Cowboys hype machine. If this were a true championship defense, for example, they would rally like Pitt did with Roethlisberger out. Instead, they’re not even playing for their pride. Like Collinsworth said, even the start players tonight were making terrible mistakes.

Now that it’s obvious this team will never be a champion, the one silver lining out of all of this is that I hope Jerry Jones will finally realize he has to blow it ALL up instead of trying to patch this team together with small pieces like T.O., or Pacman, or Tank, or Alan Ball.

Quite honestly, I haven’t been this hopeful for the Cowboys future in a while.

I will admit that as a Romo-detractor, I may have been rough on the guy because apparently he was the only piece holding it all together, though I’m still not convinced he’s THE guy.

If Jerry Jones wakes up and is willing to go with a decent coach and some honest to goodness rebuilding efforts via smart drafting and smart scouting, I think the long term future could be bright.

not for his play the last 2 or 3 weeks..

Still…I think you have to draw the line somewhere. DWare has what…5 years of great play, and this year he played well up untill Romo went down. While he hasn’t played well recently, Demarcus Ware is not the problem. He should be the last guy you consider getting rid of.

You could come up with a valid reason to cut every single player on this team, but if thats your method, you’d be an awful GM. Any other team in this league would take Ware in a heartbeat.

Irvin talked to Shango about this about a year ago and Irvin said that he would probably be too intense

he gave an example:

A WR goes out for a pass and drops the ball he comes over to me and I say, HEY, what happened!!

Player: well I just didn’t make the catch, but I will the next time.

Irvin, mimicing a choke hold on the player’s neck yelling, “THERE MAY NOT BE A NEXT TIME!!!!”

I think a coaching job for Irvin would be bad for his health.

they had brought back their 3 big-name seniors on offense and Lloyd Carr to have a shot at a MNC

Instead they tanked the season. It’s really pretty similar. The App State game was only the most well-known game of that season. Granted they won more games than the Cowboys did this year. But the head coach was fired, and those seniors took major pay cuts in the NFL.

and correct me if I’m way off base here, its a culture thing. Its not a talent thing, this is largely the same team that whooped up on the Eagles last season, the talent is there. Its the attitude, Cowboys players just look like they’re not trying, they’ve given up, they’re going through the motions and they just don’t have any heart.

How do you fix that? I have no idea really. I think you have to go out and grab a coach with a positive attitude that can motivate like Gruden or Cowher. And then in the draft you have to grab players who are seniors, captains and have strong intangibles.

IDK thats just the feel I got from watching the game, no heart, no pride.

Let me try that again....

My CAL friend literally called me up screaming his head off like they won the Super Bowl 1-2 years ago when Al Davis was hospitalized. He was so excited for that man to be dead.

He was bitching about Wade and I told him the problem was Jerry, not Wade….and that we will never win anything till Jerry gives up control. He says:

So long wade...

I supported him up untill this year. Unfortunately, 2007 will be this Cowboys teams’ best season, ended short by a few too many mistakes in the Giants playoff game. 2009 I honestly feel like he got the best possible effort out of this group. That team was limited by a poor oline that cost it many games. 2008 he turned the D around, and up untill the last game and a half I thought he had done a very good job with that unit.

This season is a different story. Many of the defensive players have regressed. They are not playing with discipline or passion, although I think at this point they are getting beaten so regularly there is nothing to be passionate about. Wade appears to have made a mistake sticking with Brooking and Ball in particular. I’m not sure guys like Jenkins, Spencer and Scandrick have really improved under his watch.

Hopefully, the 2010 draft will help us going forward. Hopefully Sean Lee will kick this injury bug and become a great player for us.Maybe one of these young guys can develop into a competent safety or cb.

I have no idea who will be appointed to the interim HC. If Garrett is smart he will decline – any ownership over this team will only hurt his resume.

Here is what I do not understand:

We’ve all played high school sports, and a lot of us have played college sports too.

Did you ever give up? I know they are “professionals” and are getting paid now, but really?

I played rugby in college and my team never gave up. NOT ONE EFFING TIME.

I know I want 1st overall pick in 2011 draft, but we cant lose this way for the rest of the season

give a coaching job to the hands of Jason Garrett fot the rest of the season and hire new coordinator, wade defense sucks because we are still playing man coverage, despite most of our defensive backs sucks….try zone and show me some picks…we arent taking any risk with man to man coverage? I just see we are losing game after game because of blowing coverage….

That's what I said.

These DBs suck. They can’t stay with their man so they need to be playing more zone.

Instead of recapping my thoughts of the game I'll share you text messages from my non-Cowboys fan friends.

My friend MacDane a Chargers fan
1) At 6:25pm PST “Question, what exactly is the Cowboys offensive philosophy?”
—> My reply, We have 1?

2) At 6:30pm PST " I think that play by DeMarcus Ware sums up the Cowboys season. He gets penetration in the backfield to stop Brandon Jackson for a loss and yet he gets a face mask penalty?!?!"
—>My reply, HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS! At this point I drank myself into a stooper.

3) Just before halftime “Man, I think you need stop watching this game. I feel like I’m going to hear about an Indian dude (ME) who slowly drinks himself to death like Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas.”

4) At half-time, “Hey just think, if we lose Vincent Jackson and some how your Cowboys drop Roy Williams on our laps then you can laugh at my stupid team whenever you want.”

5) “The Cowboys need Jon Gruden because I think he can make Romo even better than he his already!”
—>My reply, :::nods approvingly:::, additionally, “We need a gunman on the grassy knoll right now (target Wade Phillips).”

6) During the 4th Quarter “Why exactly are the Cowboys trying to establish the running game now…I am in awe of the ineptitude of the Cowboys…this is bad dude…I would love to be a fly inside Jerry’s G6 tonight as he flies back to Dallas.”

7) “Ok you guys need to stop these bubble screens…[My reply, just shoot me please!]…Ok I’ll shoot you now, in the last 6 offensive plays, I’ve seen 3 draws and 2 bubble screens.”

My friend Mike, the Eagles fan who writes for the 49ers
1) " You might want to stop watching, ugh"
2) " Your team is bad at football. I like that Al Michaels just deftly told people the game went ‘over’."[This was after the Clay Matthews pick 6].

My Friend Simon, another Eagles fan.
1) At the end of the game “I find it hilarious that all the announcers have done throughout the 4th quarter is discuss how and when Wade is gonna get canned.”

These are my friends, if it wasn’t for their humor, I probably would’ve cried in the fetal position clutching my Romo jersey.

What's worse

Being friends with a Skins fan, an Eagles fan or a Steelers fan?

Me personally, I don’t mind being friends with a 49ers fan because there’s mutual respect for both teams. I like my friends who are Chargers fans, we completely understand each other’s pain since Wade and Norv are cut from the same cloth.

However, for me, It’s trying times being friends with Eagles fans.

This makes me sick to my stomach. I am going to die before the Cowboys ever win another super bowl.
Changing Jones’ job title is not among them, even when he was asked about his role in what has transpired.

“Don’t imply there that my role is going to change at all,” Jones said. “Don’t do that. You’ll get something stuck.”

for the first time

in my adult life I quit watching a Cowboys game. The score was 35-7 and I gave up……just like my team has. I hate to say this, but I now wish we would have lost to Houston….maybe Jerry would have fired Wade during the bye. We won that game and he had an excuse to keep him. Now, a few weeks later this team is such a mess, guys that were trying a few weeks ago have also quit. It is hard to see how this gets better anytime soon.

Mental toughness.

The team doesn’t have it. If any of the players ever had it, they don’t any longer. The coaches don’t train them in a way that develops it. Even if they make a million bucks, they still need it to play the game.

The “stars” are as inept as the bottom of the roster.

Wade makes coaching mistakes that high school coaches wouldn’t even make, like the challenge of the TD run.

This team is like a poker player that’s been busted down to his last few chips. He throws it all in without any hope or expectation to win. He knows he’s already lost before the hand is dealt.

Time to start clearing cap room

Cut Roy Williams, Bradie James, Leonard Davis, trade Marion Barber and let some younger guys play. If we had any oline depth I’d cut 2 or 3 guys. If we had any cornerback depth I’d cut Scandrick. If we had any safety depth I’d cut Alan Ball. Time to blow it up. It is the most disappointed Ive been in 30 years of watching Cowboy football.

Just an observation

I’m sure I’ll get blown up by many of you for saying this but they said it last night during the game, the Cowboys have completely given up. The Bills are a terrible team, not even a tenth of the talent the Cowboys have. But the Bills at least play hard for 4 quarters, have some pride in themselves and will gut it out to the end.

The players the Cowboys have, I truely believe that they believed the preseason hype that they were going to play in the Superbowl at their home field. Now that they don’t have the talent they thought they had they have already hung up the towel. They could gome back and be a stand up team and win a few but last night with the Packers missing 5 starters from last season (Finley, Grant, Bigby, Barnett & Harris), and still getting whipped as bad as they did…..it’s a complete disgrace to you the fan base.

As an Eagles fan I’d still remain a fan if this was the Eagles (I assume you all will remain Cowboy fans as well), but I’d have a very hard time in justifying their play.

I've been reading

and I agree with those comments. I just said that I’ll probably be trashed on because in the past on this site when I agreed with what others were saying about the Cowboys I’ve taken a lot of garbage because I was a fan of another team in the NFC east. I understand it it happens on BGN as well. But I’m called a troll all the time because I comment on this site once in a great while and agree with things that other Cowboy fans say, but since I’m an Eagle fan I’m a troll.
