    At my weekly poker game last night and I play with 3 Dallas fans. Funny how quickly they are to call it quits for their team. I mean they are all whining how the season is over when a little over a month ago they were touting how they were going to be the first SB home team.

    Things won't be looking up until Jones(Al Davis Jr.) is gone.

    the celebration stuff is so over done. one of the reasons why college football is better, although they have some dumb rules there as well regarding celebrations

    hand the ball to the ref, or put it on the ground. nothing else.

    then a group hug, chest bump thing. not a whole lot else.

    i prefer college ball.



    i have an extra fork laying around if you need one

    the college game is perhaps more exciting...but the one thing that trumps all that is cool about college football is the archaeic/asinine way they crown a national champion. lose 1 game and your season is basically over most years. it is beyond idiotic.

    agreed. 16 team playoff, all confrences get an auto invite, rest filled with at large teams selected by a fan vote. :D

    1 powder puff game is eliminated to accomidate the extra games, teams must play everyone in their confrence. confrence championships determined by the regular season. once the tourney is set, the other teams can play in bowl games, IF, they have a winning record. they can use a BCS or something other forumla to determine matchups so that team 17 plays 18, 19 plays 20 etc.

    i'm flexible on the rules, but it should be a 16 team tourney.

    Calling it done at this point is not whining, it is reality. Sure they are mathematically still in it and will be for a long time. And sure, they are one or two mistakes and bad plays away from being 4-1 or whatever, but they are what they are: a 1-4 team that still has to face Indy, the Giants twice, the Eagles twice, the Saints and the Packers.

    I just don't see them doing it. Not this group, with this coach.

    15...you guys are on like year 50 right? :lol::lol::lol:. The only time you're not rebuilding is when your the champion, IMO just getting to the title games means very liitle other than you're first among the losers.

    The colts have been rebuilding since their title, unless they are happy with being first among losers. But Manning didn't look happy.

    Man, I wish Gruden would get back into coaching next year. It would be nice to see him on the Cowboys sidelines too! I love that guy...

    Not gonna happen...he's too headstrong for Jerry

    He would want control and we know how well that goes over in Dallas

    You guys are desperate begging for a former Eagles coach

    :P

    And that was a Superbowl! Essentially, the guy knows how to win those things, unlike Wade or the past few Cowboys coaches before him.

    I just really miss his fiery attitude on the sidelines. Gruden knows a ton about the game and can discipline his players. I think he will be coaching next year, though.

    i can def see gruden being the cowboys coach for the next 3-5 years. he'd do wonders with an offense like the one the cowboys have. least he wouldn't try to run the ball with this receiving core like garrett does.

    gruden's an improvement over wade phillips....but it's tough to find a coach who is not an upgrade over that guy.

    i just think gruden is overrated. he's an offensive coach who won a super bowl with tony dungy's defense while his offense was average at best.

    i will say that i love having this conversation with you guys less than halfway through a season in which you were favored to play a super bowl in your hometown. :mrgreen:

    It is only temporary until the Boys turn it around and everyone starts talking about a Superbowl at home, lol.

    I like Wade and don't place all the blame on him. When I played ball, it didn't matter who the coach was. I was eager to go out and compete at a high level, regardless. I guess it is different when you aren't making money and your ego is in check. With that said, the players need to step up and discipline themselves. They are grown men and shouldn't need a new coach to light some fire under their asses!

    So, with all this talk about a coach, the Cowboys can win Monday and only be 1.5 games out of first place? We should put this conversation on hold until mid Nov. when we see what happens. I am not counting them out yet this year, in case you guys were wondering ;)

    I have to say it is getting tough to watch them play this season. I spent most of my afternoon on the beach in Tampa on Sunday and didn't tune into the game until the 4th quarter. I kind of wish I stayed at the beach but it was getting dark, lol

    34-18 as the Cowboys coach. That is the best ever for a coach for them. However, it only looks good on paper...
