A lot of truth written on this page. Bill Parcells was on the verge of taking the cowboys to the next level. Most of the guys on the team now that have big roles are "Parcells" players. He last coached the cowboys in 2006. He then went to Miami and from the front office got them on the right foot. From the struggles a Hall of Fame coaches like Parcells and Jimmy Johnson with thru with Jerry Jones, I honesty don't ever see a "smart" coach like Cower or Dungy ever coach the cowboys. Why would anyone who is already established put up with an over controlling GM? Parcell isn't a type of guy who would sit up and air out the cowboys organization but he was straight up disrespected his last couple of years with the cowboys.

I wouldn't say Jerry is content with 8-8 seasons.

He is one of the most passionate owners and truly loves owning the Cowboys.

I could get on board saying his passion makes him commit unforced mistakes

I still believe Parcells would of taken us to the next level with Romo. Although he wasted most of his energy trying to improve on Bledsoe

this is why Dallas will struggle to find a head coach

Jason Garrett is not a great coach.. But this team was much better with him calling the plays. Every year we have been top 10 in total offense.. I don't know WHAT Bill Callahan is doing with us ranked 19th. I don't care how many times you run the ball.. The strength of this team is airing the ball out.. They need to go back to letting Romo gun slinging.. And if JG is on the hot seat.. He should definitely go back to offensive play calling.. Makes more sense if he gets fired for doing it his way.

NO, No, and HELL NO

 

[shawn_chrystafur]

NO, No, and HELL NO

Why not? If our offense wasn't the problem under JG, why give the play calling duties to Bill Cal and continue to struggle..

 

[airjordan jb23]

our bye week came at just the right time... i don't expect us to come out & be a brand new team next week, but hopefully at least SOME improvements are made. we messed up by not gaining ground in our division when we had the chance & now its gonna be tight, especially with some of these games coming up.

sean lee out the next 3-4 weeks is really tough to see... our defense was already a complete mess.

at least today won't be a stressful sunday

 

[Remy LeBeau]

We should hire Ed Orgeron

That's the thing: our offense HAS been a problem under JG.

People seem to forget that this offense that Callahan is calling is STILL Jason Garrett's offense. He's just not calling the plays. The offense has been predictable since Ray Ray called us out and its still very predictable.

Our offensive woes are on Garrett. He's the only constant since 2007. And Romo...

No.. The problem hasn't been the offense.. That's the only thing this team has going for them. The defense has been terrible for the past couple of years giving up the big plays and NOT forcing turnovers. This year they are forcing turnovers but not stopping anyone. Any offense that finishes top ten the past few years isn't the problem. Everyone always like to say Romo isn't clutch and can't win big games.. But is tied for active QBs in 4th QTR comebacks. But EVERY GAME goes down to the wire with us. Because our defense can't make stops.. We cannot rely on our defense to win a game for us.. And that's why we'll continue to struggle. It is Jason Garret's team.. But he's not calling the plays and we are struggling on offense. We keep trying to force a run game that we don't have.

I made a decision towards the end of last season to allow Jason Garrett time to develop as a head coach.
After ten games this season I have come to the conclusion Garrett doesn't have what it takes to be a Super Bowl head coach.
Doesn't matter how "good" his offense was, he can't coach and that's his job.
Teams with good/great head coaches win, and they win a lot.

 

[jmause3]

Welp, next weeks game just got that more real and idont feel good about it all

 

[chiacrack]

Dallas is not winning that Giants game, sorry don't see it

Brown is gonna go off for like 150 against that D

Stats don't tell the whole story man. The reason why we finish top 10 in "offense" is because its based on total yards. Most of our games we are playing catch up which skews our offensive ranking. Perfect example is our team being "top 2 in scoring." Take out the Denver game which was CLEARLY an anomaly, and we are top 20 in scoring.

No one is stating that the defense doesn't have their issues either. But it wasn't the defense that went 0/9 on third downs last week, The defense wasn't the reason Romo's completion percentage the last 4 weeks has tanked considerably from 71.6% down to 54%. The defense isn't the reason why we scored only 10 points against the Saints.

Garrett's system has been a problem for years besides 2007. That's not to say the defense doesn't obviously have issues but this is exactly the line of thinking that Jerry has and why every year we are having the same issues. Why is Dez NEVER in motion? Why did it take Romo making the adjustment ON HIS OWN and moved Beasley and Dez to the Y and slot positions and the net result was a 44 yard completion to Dez which was his ONLY catch in the game.

Our defense, btw, did make a very huge stop against the Lions which should have ended the game. But you can thank Garrett for us having to give the ball back to the Lions. And again, this is where Garrett gets to blame the defense all the time and has people fooled.

And believe me, anyone here will tell you I'm Romo's biggest supporter. His gaff's are severely overblown and his 4th quarter comebacks are never considered (20). But that doesn't absolve him, or the entire offense from criticism. Our defense may be trash, but again, it doesn't help when we can't convert on third downs. Most of our scoring drives were a result of ST or Defense putting us in enemy terrirtory.

Lets also keep this in mind: The defense had only FOUR starters on the field last week and have been plagued with injuries/depth issues all year. The offense is missing only ONE player. What's their excuse?

And in regards to the GMen, they still don't look very good but neither do we. THey are beating teams with backup/injured QBs. We've had 2 weeks to prepare for them. I think we win this one but its going to come down to us and Philly at the end of the year.

 

[blackboyfly]

The Giants have beaten Christian Ponder, Scott Tolzin, Terrell Pryor, and Matt Barkley wouldn't worry about them

It's Philly we should be worried about. Tried to tell cats on here they'd contend for the division. But everyone was so enamored with RGIII

Very good points, but you can take the Saints games from this season and compare to last season. One with JG calling the plays and one with BC calling the plays... Our offense was very good last year considering all of the offensive line struggles we had last year. And if Teams want to start double teaming Dez then maybe they should start drawing up plays for players like Cole Beasley and Dwayne Harris.. They have proven they are worthy of some plays.. Make the defense have to worry about EVERYONE on the field. That's what's so frustrating about this team.. They have the potential to like a New Orleans or a Denver Team offensively (or even Green Bay when healthy)...

But to your point about us having to play a lot of games from behind last year which had to do with our offensive total yardage.. Why don't they come out running that kind of offense to get ahead so they don't have to worry about playing catch up?

I may be off base here, but I remember JG saying in the past something to the effect “We like to keep games close"

[quote name="IsTaYsTuNiNyA" url=[/quote]

Red zone play calling has killed this team in the garret era, this season is the best since he's been here... And he's not calling the plays. This team seems to be crippled by his outdated offense.

One of the best receivers in the game shut down week after week that's a scheme problem not a qb or defense problem

Cant convert on third downs, probably due to the fact we have about 10 plays in that playbook none with any imagination

Losing waters killed this team's chances at doing anything including the division

hope we lose out then maybe we can get some changes around here

 

[jthagreat]

NO, No, and HELL NO

he just dont agree cause i personally feel like playcalling has ALWAYS BEEN the problem.

Ehhh.. Philly beat Oakland and an Aaron Rodger-less Packer Squad. Almost gave up a W to Washington.. I'm not too worried about them.

Because even if we get ahead, we will start playing not to lose.

Its coaching man. and thats GARRETT
