Honestly whats there to say? We're the worst team in football. They arnt even competitive on the field. I'm convinced the 1989 Cowboys (AFTER the Herschel trade) would kick this team's butts.

1) Somewhere down the road, Jones is going to admit he blew it after the Baltimore and Philly debacles in 2008. It took several seasons, but Jones eventually admitted he should have parted ways with Barry Switzer right after they won the Super Bowl vs Pittsburgh. I like Wade, he is a nice guy. At one time he was an outstanding 3-4 defensive coach. But he's utterly clueless right now. Hindsight is 20-20, but he should have been let go after the Philly game in 2008.

2) If Leonard Davis or Mark Colombo start another game here, I think I'll hurl. I bet if we cut them today, both of them would have a hard time finding immediate employment. They are just awful, run and pass.

3) Fundamentally this may be the worst team in our 50 years of existance. I've never seen such piss-poor blocking & tackling.

4) I thought Jon Kitna played well last week and after he came in vs NYG. I thought he looked awful last night. Looked like a rookie most of the time, locking in one one guy or side of the field, and most plays he was totally oblivious to the blitz or where it was coming from. The OL was just terrible, but he compounded the problem. Threw a couple of horrible picks, and badly missed a wide open Miles Austin for an easy score. McGee will definitely get some PT this season and probably have a number of starts later in the year.

5) I cant believe I see a thread where people are actually complaining about who the interim coach might be. I see posts saying DeMarcus Ware is a 2nd rate player andmore of that garbage of his sacks dont matter. I see posts saying Austin should have never got a contract extension. I still see non-sense about Tashard Choice being the best RB and how he could jump start the offense. The only thing dumber than our team is some of our fans. (Note- this was directed at some fools in CZ)

6) Worst run in 11-12 quarters ever for our defense, thats rock bottom. There's just no excuse for it either. Some players are still giving all they have, but there are a couple guys who are just useless and a couple more who are absolutely washed up. Guys like Ball, Sensabaugh, Brooking, Olshansky and James should be replaced immediately. Mike Jenkins should be read the riot act about his play on that endzone non tackle and if he does it again, he should be benched the rest of the season. Give other guys chances now. There's nothing good that can become of playing the guys listed.

7) Offensively, Kitna would get a few more starts, unless McGee plays and got hurt. Colombo and Davis should probably be outright released today. Niether of them can play and niether of them have a future here. I'd cut Barber too, not because he sux or doesnt try, but because he isnt part of the future either and is not as good as the two guys he is taking reps from. he could however help a team making a playoff run.

8) As for interim coach, seriously people. Who cares who it is? I still cant believe I saw a thread (in CZ)where people were complaining about it. They should name Garrett interim coach, but for some reason I think it might be DeCamillis. Have no idea why, its just a guess.

9) Dez Bryant is just amazing. Might have the best hands I have ever seen, and he has an absolute warrior mentality. There has to be a ton of teams kicking themselves over passing on this guy. I think his attitude will be infectious to the team, alot like Irvin's was. With him and Austin, we have an unbelievable WR duo for years to come.

10) Nobody does anything but pile on the guy, but Martellus Bennett deserves a little mention for those 2 or 3 catches late in the game and the effort he gave. I think on one of them it took half the GB defense to get him on the ground as he fought for a first down. And the guy busts his tail as a blocker. I still like him on this roster. He's definitely nowhere near the problem some other guys are.

11) Nice game by McCann as a returner, but he was terrible on the field in coverage. Doesnt say much for AOA's return skills though when this guys waltzes in off the practice squad, gets a couple days of reps at KR and then averages almost 30 yds a return. Got hosed on the fumble, but dumb coaching was to blame for that since they were out of timeouts and couldnt challenge.

12) Speaking of challenges, Wade's decision to challenge that 1st down run on the GL has to go down as one of the stuipidest moves ever. It was either going to be a TD or 2nd and inches on the GL. Our defense has shown no ability to stop the run or the pass, did he really believe we were gonna stuff them on 3 straight plays? Ultimately it cost us the 7pts on McCann's fumble play.

This isnt rocket science here. Just go out and hire a competent staff, run a real training camp and make some obvious tweaks to the roster. We can be good next year. But the right people have gotta be put into place here.

The stupidity seeping from our fanbase is astounding. The problem is they are about as good a judge of talent as our current GM.

I agree with most of this, no doubt. Dallas is easily the worst team in the NFL right now. The Giants game brought me back to the Campo years, but, atleast in the Campo years, the players played with some balls. Not now, not with this team. It's all in the players heads now. Ware is better then what he has been in the last two games. We all know it. Austin is a stud, flat out. He just has Capt. Stupid at QB now. Bryant is definately a stud. No doubt.

I would definately be benching some defensive players ,but, Sense, although not that good, was still playing til the end. Fuck Jenkins. That SOB shouldnt even make the trip back to Dallas. You'd never see Kevin Smith hold up like that pussy did. I guess Jenkins made a "business decision". Bullshit.

Bennet showed some spunk. It was good to see. What wasn't good to see was L. Davis, and all his gray hairs coming out of his beard. Which, looked horrible. That look says "get rid of me" now like no other. TERRIBLE footwork, if any bey Colombo. Holy cow did I eat the cheese on some of these players. Wow. Free, I still like. The rest of the lot should be sent packing. Oh hell with it, send em all packing...

(Course, this is Monday, I reserve the right to retract this statements once a level head is returned. LOL)

Not only would they find employment . . . but they'd be serviceable starters.

I truly believe our offensive line woes have more to do with coaching and scheme than anything else. I think Houck is waaayy past his prime.

Look . . . Pat McQuistain was a turnstyle everytime he stepped on the field for us. Miami trades for him, and he's a starter for them. And in the few Miami games I've watched . . . he hasn't looked that bad. This is a guy who didn't even look like he belonged in the league with us.

There's no question our offensive line is horrible, and our number one weak spot . . . but I truly believe it's more than the individual players.

His touchdown reception was beautiful. Just reaching out and grabbing that ball, despite having a safety in his face. Great concentration.

I love this guy.



This is the second game this year that I've turned off in the early third quarter. But this team is so bad, it isn't even worth staying up late for and being tired at work.

We are the worst team in football, and it isn't even close.

The lack of sleep really doesn't bother me.

I just don't have it in me to watch our teal roll over like they have been.

THANK YOU. Sad thing is, it was reported that Houck is the HIGHEST-PAID Oline coach. I had heard some ridiculous number that he made $1 million/year? But it's not entirely coaching. Davis, Colombo, Kosier, and Gurode are old and lazy. They are not going to get any better or younger. Gurode should not be playing Center.

Scheme doesn't allow Leonard Davis to get into a little slapping fight with Clay Matthews, who he outweighs by at least 100 pounds.

It's not about scheme. It's about having two players who are lazy and content and three others with no ability.

Well they would have told you, and did, a mere two months ago that Jerry was a good GM and Wade is the coach this team needs.

So what the F do they know?

Yeah, that's what I said.

Not that I think Houck needs to stay. I just don't believe these players are any good. Regardless of who is coaching them.

We'll have at least two, hopefully three, new starters on that line next year.

Very strong possibility. RG and RT are clearly gone. Kosier is a free agent, so I suspect he's gone too. Thats 3. I suspect Gurode might have to compete for his job. Free is fine at LT, but depending on who they draft or eventually sign he might get moved back to RT.

At any rate, its gonna be a massive overhaul. And thats a good thing.

Atleast three would be a good start. I hope some nasty comes back to the O-line as well.
