I wanted to wish all you Cowboys fans a Merry Christmas!

For Christmas this year, I would like a new secondary, offensive linemen, less penalties, and several others of which I don't have time to mention!

C'mon Kitna, bring Daddy home the Fantasy Football Lombardi!!!!

That was a pretty fun game to watch even though they lost. McGee shouldn't feel bad. He did the best he could under the circumstances and may have won if not for asshat missing the PA.

Let me say that I don't put much weight on Pro Bowl selections but.....

Someone explain how the hell the Boys have five starters in the Pro Bowl and are staring at a 5 or 6 win season????

Mind-boggling, as this entire season has been...

Look like we may have a top ten pick in the draft though!

The top ten pick will only be good if they pick the right player. The pro bowl...Witten, Ware and Mcbriar deserve to be there, Gurode no and Ratliff probably not. This team has to rebuild the defense and the O line, don't see Jones and Garrett capable of doing that. If Fisher becomes available he'd be the ideal candidate to coach this team and start the building (I'd say rebuilding, but when you haven't won a championship in 16 years, your building) process. Somehow I think Jones will screw up the chance to hire a really good coach and we'll be stuck in the mud again.

I'm just really amazed at how Jones and Phillips let this team fall to pieces so fast, but I guess that happen when you miss on so many draft picks over the last three years.

nick saban...i soo want jones to hire him

big exhibition game on sunday boys!

God is it EVER an exhibition game!

Yeah the Pro-Bowl is stupid. Gurode and Ratliff have no business being there. Witten has had one of his better years and Ware is still great so OK with that but the rest, um no.

Enduring lesson from 2010: You want Jerry Jones building your football stadium. You don't want Jerry Jones building your football team.

Kind of figured he was the favorite.

Oh well, that was fun. Right there at the end whenMcGee hit Witten for the TD I was thinking "Can one thing go right in this God awful, fucked up waste of a season." I realize we watched a third string QB beat the Eagles practice squad but still.

Thank God this season is over.

Jason Garrett will be the coach. I am OK with that.

At least we didn't finish in the cellar of the division!

I am looking forward to a #9 pick and Seeing what Garrett can do with a full season as HC.

Overall, the Boys didn't play up to their expectations but at least we can clearly see the needs of this team.

I think they rebound in 2011 and make a playoff run...

Super Bowl prediction: Patriots over Packers

Happy New Year to you all!

It is ridiculous. I can't speak for a minority but I think I would be insulted by it. The rule reduces minority candidates to nothing more than "token" interviews.

Anyway, I also think they rebound next year. That seems to be the pattern with this team.

Flagg

Oh, and just to put a bow on this thing, this is what I think will/should/could happen.

Jason Garrett will be named head coach and I think they keep Paul Pasuqaloni as defensive coordinator. Not sure what they do with offensive coordinator, if anything.

No change at QB, unless Kitna retires. He was a serviceable backup and McGee looked pretty good in limited playing time.

Receivers: Say good-bye to Roy Williams. I think Jerry cuts him. Probably last year for Sam Hurd too. They go into next season with Bryant, Austin, Ogletree and whoever they pick up along the way.

TE: No change. Witten had a great year. Bennett will be back. Phillips too.

RB: Bye-bye Barber. Baber is just a shadow of his former self. Besides, the three-way at RB wasn't working anyway. Time for Felix Jones and Tashard Choice to step it up.

OL: Here is where the big changes will happen. This line has had the window closed on it and were the #1 source of the problems on offense. Columbo can no longer play. Davis's contract is too big. Free and Kosier are free agents. The backups all suck. Gurode is a player, but always has trouble with snapping - kind of an important job for the center. I expect major changes here through the draft and free agency.

DL: Spears, Bowen and Hatcher are all free. I think the Cowboys will try to keep Spears and Hatcher. The ought to cut Olshanksy

LB: No one is a free agent here, but they will go ahead and cut Brooking. Everyone else is under 30 and will be back.

Safety: Ugh. They need all new safeties. Sesnsabaugh and Ball suck and are both free agents anyway.

CB: Again, Ugh. The secondary was the worst part of the defense. Newman has clearly lost a step. I still think Mike Jenkins can play but he's a head case. Scandrick is just OK. That's the problem with this defense. Too many players are just OK. No one is a play-maker outside of Ware.

Obviously need to do something about kicker.

so funny that the vikings are essentially are in the same situation with leslie frazier, but they don't have to worry about parading a minority in for a token interview because they already have their minority!

this rule may have been kind of a good idea about 20 or 30 years before the nfl actually adopted it. now, not so much.

Agreed. TC should be the starter in my eyes. He just seems to be the most spirited of the three.

As a Dallasite I'd like to say, HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHA.

Stupid Cowboys. I love that the Mavs, Rangers, Stars, and FC Dallas are getting all the attention this year.

haven't seen you on this board in ages, damn girl





i really really want gruden as HC but don't mind garrett

agree wit everything flagg says

cowboypjfan

I don't know what it is but I really like the hiring of Jason Garrettl! Maybe it's the fact that he was a former Cowboys player and knows what it takes to win championships. Maybe its because of the Ivy influence in his discipline. Or maybe its his youth and fire...I feel good about this one going forward.

Also, it seems as though Jerry may allow Jason a little more input than other coaches. Either way, I think Garrett brings us a championship within the next 3 seasons...

i still wanted gruden

press conference was pretty boring till jerry interrupted jason after jason has this dumb founded look bout the decision making.

agree with your last sentence but only if this team gets oline help and db help. also it wouldn't hurt to draft another wr and put roy williams out to pasture.
