why I really don't like the cowboys anymore.

[StylisticS]

sorry man but you said it yourself..



even without Parcells coaching, would that have helped contain reggie and stop Brees from having his way with the Boys secondary?



my answer=no

yes. because the playcalling on defense was vanilla. We lacked aggressiveness in the new 3-4 scheme. We did not put our players in the position to make plays. Credit the Sean Payton for knowing this team from top to bottom. He knew what plays we ran. He knew how conservative we was. He knew the offense and the defense we played. He does not know this version now.

Because other teams aren't coached by Wade Phillips.

Dont know why everyone is so convinced that Wade cant coach.

[peewee's lovechild]

Wade took two different teams to the playoffs.
So, what's your point??

Why don't you tell me who the coach of you favorite team is and then we'll compare.

Im tired of people saying the Boys suck. We had the dark days of the Campo era, but we're a different team and we made the playoffs last season. IMO we are one of the top 10 teams in the NFL.

We're in the Top 3:

Chicago Bears
Philadephia Eagles
Dallas Cowboys

I dare anyone to argue that.

I've been a Cowboys fan since birth in the late 60's, but I have to tell you, it gets harder to get excited about them every year. The more I think about what I like about the Spurs, the harder it is to muster enthusiasm for the Cowboys. With the clubhouse full of giant egos (starting with the owner) and the focus on making dramatic moves over finding smart pieces that mesh well together, sometimes it seems like they're the anti-Spurs.

I'm glad Parcells is gone and I'm glad the cocaine-and-hookers era is over, but it seems like as long as Jerry's still running things, flash and drama will always be a big part of the team.

I'll always root for them -- they're my team. But I'd like to see a regime change (starting with the owner), and I wish they had a little more smarts and humility and a lot less drama.

Actually, Jones has tuned it down a couple of notches. He really is all about the team. He chose the right coach (Phillips is a defensive genius, just ask the Chargers). And, he even thought about cutting Owens loose, and Owens knows it. That's why you haven't heard that much out of him.

There really isn't all that much flash and drama comming out to the Boys as of late. The only character that even comes close to fitting that description is Romo, but he's just an excited kid that loves playing football. If you don't believe me, just read his interviews.

This Cowboys team is a lot more low keyed than the Cowboys of the 90s.

Seperate them by conference.
Where would you put the Boys?

I hope you're right. I have trouble being optimistic about these things.

It would be nice if a decade of mediocrity has finally taught Jerry his lesson.

I think the stints with Gailey and Campo have really humbled him. And, as much as everybody talks about him, I also think he learned a couple of much needed lessons from Bill Parcells.

Jones is much more open to other people's input now. He's shown a softer, lighter side of him. But, then again, it will all change if they don't win some games.

You either suck or are called chokers until you win the Super Bowl. I had to put up with it for years, so why should you get a free pass? Enjoy the fact that your team has won before and you have memories of that.

Before last year the best memories I have as a Colts fan is Peyton breaking records and winning MVPs. I'd trade those records and MVPs in for more Lombardis in a heartbeat.

You seem to have forgotten Johnny Unitas.

how is Wade Phillips a bad coach?

They just need something to about.

definetly not top three NFL..

NFC for sure..

[John Patrick]

Seperate them by conference.
Where would you put the Boys?

Colts-2

Chargers-1a

Ravens-3


Patriots-1b


Broncos-4 (not where I'd put them on a list involving all AFC teams..)


...///...

Saints-4

Seahawks-5

Bears-1

Eagles-3

Cowboys-2


If the Eagles are healthy this year, they will give the Cowboys a fight for the East. I think a lot of critics are underestimating them, same as last year. Boys lack of depth along some places hurts, but since they seem to have a better pass rush, I'll give them the 2nd. Saints' O definetly better than 4th.

That's what I meant . . . I should've put NFC on top of that list.

[cherylsteele]

Yeah, Gramatica lost that game. If he had tried to tackle Jordan Babineaux at all, Romo would have scored.

That is something called holding....the refs would have called it.....the Cowboys still would not have scored.
