I think this one is on the players just as much as the coaches, if not more so. They just aren't that good. Outside of Ware and Jenkins, who are the playmakers on defense? Can anyone catch the ball other than Austin, and apparently Bryant? Losing Witten like that hurt, but come on! Buehler should not be the field goal kicker. Lots of mistakes on the OL.
I don't know, the Bears made plays and the Cowboys made mistakes. The interceptions were caused by tipped balls and great plays by the Bears. Cutler made some good throws (God knows why) and they just outplayed Dallas.
I've been on board with this running back by committee thing, but no longer. One of these guys needs to be traded. Its just too much. You can't get any kind of a rhythm going when you have to split touches between three talented backs.
I don't know. Maybe they turn it around, but right now, they aren't even close to being a playoff team.
My little rant here......
1) How did they not call forward progress on the play where Roy Williams got stripped???? That was three or four seconds long easily........Aikman/Buck didn't even comment on it.
2) Who's the jackass that called the first onside kick after the punt return? Way to kill all of the momentum and give them great field advantage.
3) We have three great backs....but can't do shit with any of them. This 3 headed system seems to have lost its spark....
I can't believe that you people are giving up in week 2. Gimme a break. There is a ton of football to be played and the Boys are just getting started! We will bounce back and go 1-2 before the bye. That might be enough to be tied for the division lead. The NFC East is crappy this year...
going 0-2 in your conference isn't exactly the way a super bowl contending team is supposed to play. just cause the nfc east is crappy doesn't mean we have to play like crap too. this team is gonna be 0-3 after the houston game. houston would love nothing more then to stick it to dallas. what pisses me off even more is i just ordered a new cowboys hat and they play like shit.

1. Well, I was going to mention that but I didn't want to gripe about officiating. However, that was a blatant missed call. Especially when the called the Cowboys for a late hit earlier in the game on Brooking when he hit a guy after the his forward progress was "stopped".
2. Wade. And Bueller fucked it up.
3. Agree. I didn't agree with this before but I see now. There is no flow. One of them needs to be traded.
Oh, and run the damn ball!! What is up with the 51 pass plays?? This should not be a pass-wacky team. Garrett has too many weapons. He can't make up his mind. Throwing 51 times isn't going to win games.

I haven't given up yet. Lots of chaos so far. Look at the Giants and Philly. Both are very inconsistent. The Patriots got blown. The Dolphins are undefeated. The Vikings are 0-2. KC is undefeated. Too much chaos to give up now.

as for Roy Williams, he wasn't wrapped up, and Roy was still fighting for yardage. Peanut, as he is known to do, punched the ball out yet again. He's got the best ball jab in the NFL.

I agree the NFC East isn't very good, but lose to Houston and this season is over. What frustrates me is its the same mistakes game in, game out. They supposedly have all these weapons yet Garrett can not figure out how to use them. I still say all the problems lie right a Jerry Jone's feet, he needs to step back and let Philips coach and the head coach and if that means Dez starts over Williams so be it, if that means he tells Garrett to stick with the run so be it, but I know that won't happen till they cart Jones off to the old age home.

You're a right Williams wasn't wrapped up and the Bears are not a terrible team, they played solid D and opportunist O. What the Bears did was make plays on Defense and Offense, that's what the Cowboys are failing to do is make plays and when they got momentum they made mistakes, either dumb penalties, a horrible onside and turning the ball over.

wow...didnt think they would get off to an 0-2 start. Maybe a big win against Houston will get them going. Hey the vaGiants started 0-2 the year they won the SB.
Felix needs the ball more as does Bryant

no I don't have any confidence going into next week when you got one of your star defensive players say they aren't pumped up for games and a coach that shouldn't be a coach and a qb that's overrated and isn't a leader.

Jimmy Johnson: Turnovers and penalties have plagued Cowboys for years under Wade Phillips
09:43 AM CDT on Wednesday, September 22, 2010
SportsDayDFW.com
Retired coach Jimmy Johnson blasted his former team Monday in a column for Fox Sports.
Johnson said the turnovers and penalties the Cowboys had in Sunday's 27-20 loss to Chicago are the same problems they have been having for the past three or four years under Wade Phillips.
"They got away from this negative stuff some last season. Still, penalties and inopportune turnovers have killed them in the crucial games," he wrote. "Until they cut back on these penalties and turnovers, they are going to have a problem."
Johnson is pretty accurate in his assessment.
Through two games, the Cowboys (0-2) rank sixth-worst in the NFL with 18 penalties. Oakland (1-1) leads the league with 22. The Cowboys are also fourth-worst in turnover differential at minus-4.
"It’s almost as if the Cowboys think they are so talented it is not a big deal, all these mistakes," Johnson wrote. "They better start realizing all the teams in this league have some talent."
Johnson said the Cowboys are still one of the most talented teams in the league, and he puts the pressure on Phillips to fix these problems.
"There are certain coaches who can coach teams into correcting mistakes," he wrote. "This stuff has to be corrected."
This is somewhat what I expected that the Cowboys are a poorly coached team. If they don't win Sunday it's lights out after only 3 games. I used to give Jerry Jones the benefit of the doubt, not anymore, the only time since he's owned this team have they had a collection of really good talent was when Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcell's were running the show. It's unfortunate that Bill left when he did, he could have taken the Cowboy's to the Super Bowl In Bum I mean Wade's first year. Jones needs to put his ego aside and bring in real football people. The last 2 drafts have produced hardly any serviceable NFL players, Bryant and Lee seem to be it so far. The training camps are a joke, it should be an open competition for many jobs, instead they basically hand Barber the starting running back spot, Williams the number 2 receiver spot, Beuler the kickers spot and how many other spots are just handed to players on this team, players should earn their role on this team. I suspect if the receivers were in an open competition Crayton would be number 2 and if Dez had been healthy he would have been number 2. I suspect as these players get older and Jones refuses to set his ego aside 5-11 and 4-12 seasons will return soon enough. I hope I am wrong and they beat Houston. End Of Rant.

never a good sign when an owner has to give a coach a public vote of confidence:
I think the team has a lot of potential. That being said I don't have a lot of confidence in the coaching staff. As painful as it would be to see it might be better to miss the playoffs so Wade can get fired.
