I've figured it out. The O-Line is a gigantic collection of pussiness. They look great on the way down the field, but when they get in the red zone and it's time to play MAN football, they don't have the heart. On the drive you guys are talking about, there was no reason we shouldn't have been able to put the ball in the endzone. We had run 6 or 7 straight rushes with 5 yards being the shortest gain coupled with a few other runs for over 10 yards. They should have easily been able to run the ball for another yard but the line quit on the team. They should all be cut. Bunch of women.

We have 3 backs that are more than capable of powering through a small gap if provided but they just weren't given the chance because the line refused to block with the necessary amount of anger you need when you're in the territory. Face it...they're just gay. The Dallas Gayboys.

And another thing...I'm surprised you Cowboys fan don't realize this, but aside from being the place where Michael Irvin's career was ended, Philadelphia is the place where the dynasty in Dallas ended and that happened on a single play. At the time, the Cowboys were 4-3 and had already beaten the Eagles earlier in the season. It was 1997 and we were on the heels of our 3rd Superbowl in 4 years. We had the triplets.

Anyway, we had a 4th and 1 and tried to run a dive with Emmitt Smith. He was stoned at the line and it essentially sucked the manhood out of us and we lost 13-12. It marked the beginning of the end for the Cowboys run.

Including the loss of this game, Dallas finished 2-7 to end the season and that included 5 straight losses. They still haven't mastered the 4th and 1 play and obviously have not recovered from that single play 13 seasons ago.

See for yourself...

Oh, and fuck the Philadelphia Eagles.

Apparently Barry Switzer had problems with 4th and 1 in Philly.

Remember the infamous 4th and 1 in 1995?

I don't remember that one. I remember the one from the game in 1997. Watching the tv, Dallas was driving from left to right. Emmitt took the handoff and tried to go up the left guard's ass. He was dropped immediately and I remember feeling like something was drained from me when I watched that play. It felt like to me that the Eagles wanted it more than Dallas. It was almost like they had reached a point where they were satisfied with their previous accomplishments and they sort of bowed out at that point. I can still see them looking deflated and defeated, almost like they weren't hungry anymore.

As it turns out, I was right. They haven't wanted it since.

What's sad is I think I have been a fan since before you were born. 1977??? You're not that old are you?

I'm not gonna turn my back on them but I can point out shit that I don't like about them. It doesn't make me a hater. Hopefully Jerry Jones secretary will read this post and it'll filter back to him somehow. Ahh, the knowledge on the internet....

The 1995 one was when the Cowboys went for it on 4th and 1 in a tie game in their own territory and Barry called the same play multiple times. Eagles stuffed Dallas on 4th and 1 and one the game. Dallas won the Super Bowl that year, but much was made of their arrogance in going for it like that. Like Belichick this year.

Hmmm.... I wonder if Jerry is gonna go to the woodshed again?

I think the Vikings win the NFC and I would be surprised if the Cowboys even made the playoffs, but I haven't given up hope. I must be crazy, lol.

Well fellow Cowboys fans...Anyone think we got a shot? This is it...lose and the season in all likelihood is lost.

I think for them to win, some things have to happen...touchdowns every trip in the red zone...have to run the ball very well...long time consuming drives...no turnovers...the D has to not only pressure Brees, but get at least 4 sacks...limit the amount of penalties...get turnovers themselves.

Thats a pretty tall order for a team seemingly in a tail spin.

The good news is if they lose, then likely Wade and company will be gone.

If a new coach is brought in next year, who should it be?

What about Mike Zimmer? Look at the job he's done in Cincy, that D was not very good until his arrival. I always thought he did a decent job with the D when he was in Dallas. I think the year he was D coordinator under Parcell's was the best defensive year Parcell's had here. I have read that he doesn't tolerate mental mistakes and makes his players accountable.

He might be worth a look. I somehow doubt Jerry is going to hire a retread NFL coach, he did that with Parcell's and Philips and has not worked out, my guess is he's going to look for someone who had success as a coordinator, plus that seems to be the trend these days. Jerry also likes people he's worked with, thats why I can see him looking at Zimmer. I still wouldn't rule out Garrett, but I hope he looks elsewhere.

The score Saints 34 - Dallas 31, I can see another loss, if Ware don't play, 44 -24 Saints.

I don't think we have a shot. But this is the NFL and weird things happen every week. The Saints had to go to OT to beat Washington. I wouldn't shock me if the Cowboys won, but I expect them to get blown out.

Pressuring Brees is the key of course. He never gets sacked and with Ware probably out, well Brees can probably rest easy. I think we will see the secondary get seriously torched tonight. I also think we will be sitting here talking about how well Romo played and everyone else sucked. That's been the case the past two games. It sucks that this December, Romo has certainly stepped up his game and tried his best to get rid of that December curse. Too bad the OL can't block for shit and the defense has decided to start getting burned on a regular basis.

If the Cowboys lose tonight, they are still alive but would need serious help to get in. I agree though, if they lose this game and don't get in the playoffs and win at least one game, the Wade is gone. Hopefully Garrett too. They had their chance with the Giants game. I knew we would lose to the Charges and Saints. The Giants loss is what really killed everything because that is a game that Dallas should have won.

I would be completely on board with Zimmer. Actually as long as it isn't anybody from the current staff, I'll be happy. I would like a complete turnover.

Go Boys Go...Time to man up and win a big game for once under Philips.

Flagg

Whoa 14-0. Wow!!

lukin2006

It's a good start. I like the fact that the Saints had to work for their 3 points, the D gave them nothing easy. Aways to go though, the Saints are explosive, we will need to score more for sure. What about Ware? He's monster, played with fractured foot, wrist and a week after sprained neck.

Flagg

Well here it goes. Momentum slipping away. 14 unanswered points by the Saints and the Cowboy defense is collapsing. Seen this movie before.

Flagg

Romo to Austin on 3rd and 7!!! Game saver?!?! Maybe!

Fuck you Nick Folk!! Right in the fucking eye!!!! Are you kidding me?!?!

FUCK YOU FOLK FUCK YOU

Worthless piece of shit
