I don't care who the coach is, the offensive gameplan and the whiny ass players are the problem. Here's my Five Step Plan on how to fix the Cowboys.
1. Get TO the out of Dallas - He may or may not be a problem in the locker room, but his presence will always be a distraction to the team. And he obviously demands the ball because Romo will try forcing it to him from time to time when it's just a stupid idea. I like TO Owens but his time with the Cowboys needs to come to an end.
2. Trade Jason Witten - He's too much of a security blanket for Romo. Now Tony has no clue what the to do, because he's stuck either forcing it to his BFF or forcing it to Owens. Best solution? Get rid of them both, so Tony doesn't feel like he has to force it to anybody. Martellus Bennett, despite making an ass of himself on Hard Knocks, looks like a more than capable tight end. He can fill Jason's shoes without having a Brokeback attachment to Romo.
3. Inform Tony Romo that he isn't Tom Brady - He can famous es and stand tall in the pocket all he wants, he's still second rate compared to Brady. There's things Brady can do that Tony simply cannot. On the flip side, there's things Tony can do that Brady can't. Tony is NOT a traditional pocket passer. He can't make the throws Brady makes, he can't move around in the pocket the way Brady can. Tony is a scrambler. If there's not a play, Tony can scramble around to make something happen when Brady can't. So let Tony know that he can wear all those gay little hats during press conferences while Tom wears classy ones, he can bang B-list celebrities while Tom is screwing Victoria's Secret models, he can be a second-rate Tom Brady in every aspect of his life EXCEPT ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD. During games, Tony needs to be Tony.
4. Get rid of the safety Roy Williams - it's just a good idea that they've needed to do for years now.
5. Become the Steelers on offense - Run the ball. Be a smashmouth team. Dallas has probably the best trio of running backs in the league (when healthy). Marion Barber has proven he can't handle a full load. No problem, play him in the second half. Make Tashard Choice your starter, Marion your 2nd half closer, and Felix is your 3rd down back. Each guy gets anywhere from 8-15 carries depending on who is playing the best that game. Limit Tony's pass attempts to 20-25 a game. Do playaction like crazy. Your defense is good enough, so win games there, and control the clock.

Yeah them 5 things you said will fix the Cowboys...hahahahahahaha....not. Get rid of Witten? hahahahahaha.....By far one the of the funniest things Ive heard in here in sometime. Sure your not working for Jerry?
1. Blow-up the receiving corp. TO needs to go because he's only a good teammate when things are good. Good teammates are needed when the going gets tough. Roy Williams was never able to run routes at Texas and he still can't do it in the NFL. He's a great athlete with great hands, but dude needs to humble himself and learn to run routes. Crayton is ok. Rebuild with team players.
2. Pacman experiment is done. Cowboys don't need any distractions. Scandrick is a jewel.
3. Promote Jason Witten to team Captain.
4. Add to the offensive line.
5. Trade Barber while he still has value. Two youngs guys can get it done, but add another young guy just in case.
NO FREAKIN WAY!!!!! Get rid of the best player on the team
This is a new age in the NFL, recieving TE's like Witten are a dime a dozen, and generally when they're overused (i.e. Witten, Shockey, Gonzalez) the team sucks. Tight ends aren't supposed to be your most frequent target, that's a sign of a poor offense.
If your TE is the best player on the team, your problems run way deeper than what the Cowboys have. Witten is far from their best player.NO FREAKIN WAY!!!!! Get rid of the best player on the team
From the outside looking in, I feel like it has to be the coaching that did not bring this team together. The players are there, they just need someone that can put those individual players together on the same page. Cowboys have not been playing as a team. There is no excuse for the way they played yesterday.
well, if he's not the best, he's certainly one of the few players on the squad that leaves it all out on the field.
I'm not questioning his worth ethic, dedication, or even his value as a football player. But look at how other elite teams are designed. How many elite teams have their tight end as the focal point of their receiving game? The Brady Patriots don't, the Colts don't, the Steelers dont. The Giants became elite after Shockey got hurt and Boss took his place. For all the catches Tony Gonzalez has made, the Chiefs have been mostly mediocre during his career. Antonio Gates hasn't exactly led the Chargers anywhere.
I see overusing a tight end as a weakness, regardless of how good the tight end is. He should be a 3rd option at best, and the majority of great teams in the NFL prove this to be true.
No one is saying he should be the focal point of the offense, but good TE are extremely important to championship football. That's why guys like Parcells and Belichek have 4 or 5 of them on the roster. Seems like they draft TE every year.
This actually makes sense and I hadn't really thought of it that way before. When the Broncos won a couple of super bowls they had arguably the best TE ever and he was always behind in receptions compared to Rod Smith or Eddy Mac.
i agree with you to an extent. the comment was more directed towards the other worthless players on the field who dog their routes most of the time, and just lay down.
I agree with you completely here. The problem with Witten is he's such a security blanket for Romo that I can't see Romo ever scaling back Witten's role in the passing game. It's not Jason, it's Tony. And you can find another tight end, but getting another franchise quarterback is a lot tougher. So IMO you've gotta let Jason go. Unless of course you can change Tony's mindset with Jason still on the team.....which might be possible, but I doubt it.
Its the coaching staff. Not even a debate. No way a team with this much talent not go 12-4 the least. If you dont have a good head running the show then youre just a circuis.
The whole coaching staff needs to be revamped.
Another franchise quarterback?
I didn't realize the Cowboys had a franchise quarterback.
He's no Sage Rosenfels, but he'll do.
Are you sure he'll do? He hasn't really done except prove he's a better QB than Brad Johnson.
who is out there that's better and available? even if they draft a qb that qb is likely at least 2 years away.
Matt Cassell
At this point I would take an Kerry Collins over Romo. He can manage a game and limit mistakes.
There's also something very wrong with the defense.
I agree with everything except trading Witten. Trade Romo before you trade Witten.
You don't trade Witten. That's a ridiculous suggestion.
You don't trade Romo either. He does need some better coaching though. He's brainwashed by the Brett Favre School of Quarterbacking. He aces gun-slinging and arm strength. He would have flunked out if that school had any courses on ball security, limiting turnovers, and playing under pressure. I think he can still be taught and fixed.
it, just run the wildcat formation in the fourth quarter. (not that it would have fixed anything in yesterday's slaughter)
wade wilson needs to follow stewart out of the door for sure.
