According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (video link), while Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has publicly supported head coach Jason Garrett and his staff

Where? When? He came right out and said he wasn't giving any endorsement. Jerry's messaging on Garrett has been mixed at best, schizophrenic at worst.

 

[TheZoneSucks]

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (video link), while Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has publicly supported head coach Jason Garrett and his staff, the players themselves are not so supportive. Last year’s NFC East champions are just 5-6 and are mired in a three-game losing streak during which they have looked lethargic and mediocre, and the players are frustrated that the coaching staff has not made proper adjustments to help resolve their issues.

For instance, Rapoport says players are angry that the coaching staff did not provide Chaz Green with enough blocking support when he filled in for injured left tackle Tyron Smith, and they are generally frustrated with the vanilla schemes on both sides of the football.

This is what the players are feeling -

Fuck pride. They need to tank these games hard, and the fans need to abandon the stadium to force Jones to fire the entire staff.

We're sooooo far far behind the Patriots and Eagles it's criminal.

It doesn't even look like pro football anymore.

lol, its like pulling teeth for that organization to let a guy go, always some bullshit going on behind the scenes, I hope he dropped f bombs on the jones clan and Garrett as he happily left the building screaming "free at last, free at last!!"

He may have in private. But in public he was all class

I seem to remember Jerry giving support to Wade and TO too right up to the day he showed them the door. I do think things will have to get REALLY bad though for Jerry to seriously consider getting rid of his boy. The good/bad news is we are on the verge of it being REALLY bad. Also there is no way he does it mid season.

PHI already won today. When we lose to Washington on Thursday we will hand the Shegulls the NFC East title in week 13

The Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl. The perfect ending to this season.

The Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl. The perfect ending to this season.

They will fail like they always do, it’s inevitable.

They will lose to the Saints in the playoffs and Tom Brady will get his 6th ring and cement his legacy as the best QB of all time.

 

[MrB]

So much for that.

Tennessee set to hire Greg Schiano as head coach

I hope it’s the Rams that knock em out of the playoffs

That would be fitting having Goff #1 overall knock off Wentz #2 overall

 

[Maveric]

Crappy sequence of bad luck for the Broncos...

Greg Schiano is reportedly going to be the HC at Tennessee

We're sooooo far far behind the Patriots and Eagles it's criminal.

Everybody is behind New England and has been since basically 2001 now.

While Philly has been really impressive this year, they'll need to do more than just 1 great yr for me to believe we're really "behind" them. The NFC East hasn't had a repeat winner in a long time as fyi.

That said, they clearly have their QB and they are great on the OL and DL. That is huge for year over year success.

Dak better be working on his cardio because he’s going to be running for his life on Thursday night.

 

[Maveric]

Lynch was pressing on that drive. Joseph needs to talk to him about not trying to do too much before it spirals.

 

[dbair1967]

The debacle of the game itself aside, it's now been 33 or 34 quarters I think since the last holding call by another team's OL.

This video only covers (non)calls from basically the past 3 games. A lot of them here and he actually missed the one that's all over the internet from the Chargers game, where the Chargers OL is caught in the still photo with his hands pulling the back of a Cowboy DL jersey from behind.

When all the officiating "experts" freely admit you could calling holding on virtually any play, and then we see games where the same refs have no issues finding holding calls to "see" against our guys, I don't know how one explains any of the stuff that's gone on this year. Tyron Smith BY HIMSELF has almost as many holding calls now this season as the combined total from our opponents in 11 games, which is just mind boggling.

Looks like since week 3 the running total is now 20 accepted holding calls vs 1 on our opponents.

And that "1" was vs a WR in the final 2 minutes of the blowout loss to Atlanta.
