    Felix Jones to miss a couple of weeks with a PCL sprain. Well that's about right. Starting to think he is fragile.

    I think the remaining Raider fan is probably thinking the same thing about McFadden. :roll:

    Is it fragile? I just don't understand, it's not like he's taking huge hits. Same with Barber's injury, he was in the clear and pulled up lame. Could it maybe the athletic therapist aren't doing their properly in getting these guys loosened and ready to play game day and keeping them loose? Another area of the team that needs to be looked at. Probably a moot point anyhow, I suspect at seasons end the entire staff with the exception of Houck and the special teams coach will be shown the door. The sad part of the cowboys is that Jerry has seen what a great line coach and special teams coach has done for those 2 units, why he won't bring in great coaching for the rest of the team.

    how many red zone opportunities did the Cowboys have? And the play calling--being on the 3 yard line and throwing 2 imcomplete pop ups in the end zone? Lots of improvement to be made.


    Yes! That was completely retarded. Why didn't they just run it up the middle twice?

    It is like they win despite their coaching and what they are being told to do.

    I agree with that statement. I am way more upset with Jason Garrett than anyone else on the team. We have to get a different Off Coordinator. His stock was high at one time, but now he seems to lack any creativity, esp with the passing game. I want to see what this offense can do with a good OC.
    Twenty-ten watch it go to fire!!!

    Analyst say its the same type of offence that Aikman ran, here's the problem...Romo is not Aikman...Williams is not Irvin...Barber, Jones and Choice rapped in one is no Smith and as good as this O line is playing the O line Aikman had was in a league of its own. I agree Garrett has to go, he waits to long to adjust to what the other team is doing, the Giants game was a great example, the Giants always had a safety over the top effectively taking away the deep pass, he should have recognized this and adjusted his game plan, allowing Rome more short and intermediate options, not to mention that the running game was killing the Giants, he should have ran the ball down their throats until they were forced to bring in safety help.

    we did run quite a bit, if you remember. Romo just gave that one away. Its a version of the offense of those days but almost everyone in the NFL's offense is. If receivers aren't getting open no matter which receivers you have, its a lack of creativity. Do you watch the Cowboys? Its pretty easy to see that Garrett is strugling if you do.

    Yea I watch the Cowboys and they did run the ball a lot against the just, but it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out you keep running until they prove they can stop it. As far as Garrett goes, it's not struggling he just doesn't know what he's doing, the whole coaching staff should have been gone. It's a timing offence, they don't have the wide receivers who can execute it. Roy Williams at best is a number 2 receiver, they still need a number 1.

    I've got to wonder what would have happened if Sean Payton would have waited one more year and took over after Parcels. When he was the OC, you could tell how creative the passing game was. Garett was his understudy and is just a shell of him. Philips seems like a very effective DC. As a HC, he's just Jerry's boy. The last two games the passing defense has actually been good. We haven't had a good secondary in years, always made me wonder about Campo's ability. Dallas has drafted coners and safties in the first few picks for many years. Is Newman finally going to live up to his potential this year?

    Holy crap, why is Spencer even on the field, if he can't make the interception then at least knock the ball away.

    Another Romo turnover, I'm tired of defending the guy, he just makes poor decisions, over and over. To many pedestrians on this Cowboy team from Spencer, Carpenter to those no very good receivers, either this team is extremely over rated or poorly coached ( which they are). But they might be over rated as well.

    Time to make a change at QB, throwing at Champ Baily twice with 9 seconds left. Romo is proving why he was undrafted. Where was Bennett? Witten? I think he is more concerned about 300 yard games than winning, guided a perfect game last week, couldn't handle not having 300 yards and a multiple touchdown game.

    Yea really, he's have a bad year and Romo's having a bad year, but I don't want him back, maybe Romo can join him in Buffalo!

    That's what happens when your WR's scare no one and you Off. Coordinator is unimaginative. What a f'in joke.

    a draw play would have been nice right then, but we didn't get the clock stopped when hurd went out of bounds so no time out hurt...we need a big play guy, probably get Boldin next year if uncapped I suspect.

    Just hope Jerry realizes Wade and Garrett both need to go at the end of the year...if not sooner.

    Is tonight soon enough, I sure hope they are gone sooner than later. Never been a better time to be in need of a coach, you have Shannahan, Gruden, Cowher and now I hear Holmgren wants to coach again.

    Is it just me or does seem ever since we went to the 3-4 our defence has been suspect.

    the D was good today, brandon marshall is a freaking beast and he made a play that's all. and i'd really only like gruden or cowher from that list, we should have got mike singletary back when we had the chance.
