If we win this game we are right back in it. It all comes down to winning NFC East games at this point.

No substance to it.

This is the main excerpt:

Q: Hey Adam, is it time to give up on the Dallas Cowboys? And if so, what can they do to get back in the saddle for next season?

-- Justin (Dallas)

A: It's not time to give up entirely yet, Justin, but the situation does look bleak. What's sobering isn't their 1-4 record so much as the fact that this team hasn't inspired the confidence that it can be consistent enough to reel off a long winning streak, which is what it will need to get back into playoff contention. At some point, this team is going to turn over the football and commit a dumb penalty and sabotage itself. It has happened consistently this season and, as long as it does, this team will not go as far as it had hoped. And should this continue, the Cowboys are going to make some wholesale changes for next year. Start thinking big ... like Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden, John Fox, coaches of that caliber.

Chances of this happening are slim anyway - the Giants have the NFC's best defense, most importantly the best defensive line, and I have a feeling this is going to be another one of those SNF Chicago-New York sackfests in which Tony Romo is constantly eating turf.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a complete debacle of a game occurs and it pushes Jerry Jones over the edge and he fires Wade Phillips that week. Could be a really messy game/week for the Cowboys.

That's not gonna happen man.

As for the cowher being just a rumor, whatever, we just need to get it in the media. We need jerry and bill to hear it. Get it in the air.

I asked this question before... if we beat the giants and jags and are 3-4... where do we go fro there?..

Anyone?

You're back in the hunt for at least a playoff spot since you'll only be one game off from the division lead. Honestly I kind of expect/want you guys to keep our team focused by handing theirs asses to them going into the bye week.

While I could definitely see that happening, at least the Giants raping Romo part, I don't expect it. If you asked me for my got reaction, the Cowboys take this game but the giants come out of the bye two weeks later to beat the Cowboys in the next game and split the season series.

Not to toot my own horn or pull a bob, but i did say witten declined little bit:

bigbluedefense · 10-21-2010, 09:47 AM

You guys are 3.5 point favorites.

I don't think this will be an easy game for us at all. This is your season, you're at home, and the Giants have the bye coming up. Whenever the bye is a week away, players are more focused on what vacation they're gonna go on than the upcoming opponent.

Although I doubt the Giants don't get pumped up for MNF against the Cowboys, I still think this is not an easy game for us at all.

LonghornsLegend · 10-21-2010, 10:01 AM

The funny thing is the NFC is wide open this year, completely. We could win 3-4 games in a right and probably be in place for a home playoff game the first round. Teams like Chicago, Seattle, and Atlanta are garbage IMO and sitting up at the top. Of course if we lose this game it won't matter at all.

Were only 2 losses back of the 1st place team in the NFC, which is why I feel that Redskin game hurts so much. 9-7 should be good enough though.

LizardState · 10-21-2010, 11:31 AM

Does anyone else think the crowd heckling Jerry in his imperial box at Minnesota last weekend was 100% justified?

That's b/c the most aggravating thing about the Cowboys is that the root of their problems isn't in the locker room but with upper mgmt. That & the fact that the hubris is so thick in Dallas upper mgmt & in their FO that they will never admit they ever did or are doing anything wrong..... handling criticism well has never been Jerry's strong suit.

Would they be better off & start winning consistently if:

Jerry, Wade, & Jason Garrett were nailed up in a crate & shipped off to the Gobi Desert, & they went to local Metroplex high schools like Dallas Carter & Southlake Carroll for coaches to devise a gameplan, run practices, etc. & go out be the Gaint-killers we all they have been & can be?

It's a question that needs an answer.

I don't think he's declined, but rather that Austin is still hot and Roy is playing really well right now. Naturally the tight end is going to get fewer catches when you have two receivers playing well. You also have to account for them trying to get Dez the ball too.

Witten's always been a great receiver, but a large reason for his numbers is the fact that he was a top priority to throw to. His best years occurred when there hasn't been a top notch second receiver to go along with the number one guy. Right now you have two receivers playing at a high level, so Witten's numbers are going to decline from being great to being really good. Martellus is also getting the ball more too.

Not trying to talk sh*t... but I think your overrating the giants alittle bit.

Sure we are mistake prone and all that jazz, but we destroy teams besides that. If we don't get the unlucky penalties/ tipped ball interceptions, we are a better team than the giants.

Now our season is over and you will probly win the east, I'm just getting that point across.

I don't think you understand how bad our OL really is. Romo will get forced into making mistakes like he has all season. Your defense is just too good. ...and Eli will eat up the deep ball seeing as we play with invisible safeties. Giants romp... 45-17.

How is he overrating the Giants? He thinks it's a tough game. lol.

xxxxxxxx · 10-21-2010, 12:56 PM

Ok we'll just see on Monday night.

An article on the DMN Blog said we are the only team in the league to outgain the opponent every single game.

This sh*t is pathetic.

D-Unit · 10-21-2010, 01:10 PM

It's time for us to unleash the BEAST! There's a James Harrison in him that is ready to explode!

On top of that let's just add if we don't miss FG's, or have terrible Special Teams we would never lose a game, ever. Facts are these things happen so no reason to play hypotheticals. It doesn't matter if we out gain teams, we lose games, those are the facts. I remember when people here were saying the Vikes didn't scare them, lol.

We need to assume we'll lose every game until our team or coaching staff shows they will turn things around.

He actually looks so athletic in that picture.

He is athletic as all get out. He just doesn't know where the hell he's supposed to be!

The team has to let him learn through his mistakes. The season is over. Now is the time. If we do it soon enough, maybe he can help turn this thing around. Not like Brooking is playing mistake free.

E-Man · 10-21-2010, 03:19 PM

They're playing J Williams more this season, so maybe the light turns on before the end of the year. He hasn't looked lost out there except on that one TD in the Viking game inside the 10. He really just needs to figure out where to go and he'll be good. Giving him real game experience should help him do that. They've also been playing Lee more too, and he looks nice from what I've seen.

You're probably right. I guess I'm still foolishly holding on to some hope that this could turn around.
