Wade Philips triggers my gag reflex

[Farmersfan]

Yesterdays Cowboys press conference did nothing for me except re-emphasized that Jerry Jones is a moron. At the end of what might be considered the worst underachieved season in NFL history both Jerry and Wade came on National TV and made statements about how they personally will have to change. Wade almost cried when he proclaimed he will have to "Change" the way he coaches and become more of a disciplinarian. Did anyone see any difference in Wade Philips yesterday? When questioned about "more discipline" and the disappointing season last year he started the normal Wade crap of dismissive one line answers and pretending that discipline was just a word people throw around and the Cowboys have moved on. His entire career he has done this. He addresses questions about the disappointing 9-7 season with a comment about the previous 13-3 season. When asked about the poor showing against Philly he will bring up how they beat a great team before. He always finds something good to say when he is questioned about bad things. The man needs to go NOW! He is breeding a atmosphere of mediocrity and accepting less than perfection in the organization.
Last season Jerry Jones felt he needed help at wide receiver so he went out and overpaid for Roy Williams. With the best receiver in history on their team (T.O.) he felt they still needed help and yet this season (WITHOUT) the best receiver in history he claims to be confident in their receivers. Sometimes I swear the man doesn't have a clue!

Ok! So my credibility in FORNEY is shot to hell. How ever will I recover from that handycap?????

Perhaps I should have said arguably the best receiver in history or maybe one the top 20 best receivers! Either way the effect of the statement remains the same. They believed they needed help WITH Terrell but now WITHOUT Terrell they are ok with their receiving corps................... Lunacy or Brilliance????? You make the call!

I have been wanting to say this. The statement of addition by subtraction is stupid. Getting rid of TO does not make the team better.

People will notice this when the cowboys wish they still had TO this year.

Colin Cowherd loves rippin on the Cowboys, Phillips, Jones, and Romo. And everything he says is true.

[bigwood33]

All you Eldorado fans need to take a deep breath. That guy is NOT a winner. At the end of his career he will finish with huge stats but that does not make him one of the greats. He can't hold Drew Pearson's, Michael Irvin's, Lynn Swann's, etc jock when it comes to being clutch and team players. He has always been a 'me first' not a 'team first' guy and that will never change. His act gets old wherever he goes, starting with SF and it will continue with Buffalo. That being said, Farmersfan you are correct. Jerry doesn't know what to do to turn this thing around and mediocrity is the result. His ego will not allow him to just be the owner (and a great one at that) and fire himself as GM so I predict continued failure for our beloved Cowboys. I am glad that Tex, Tom, and Mr Murchison cannot see how what they built has fallen!

I can't agree with this statement. The team still has a lot of talent and the secret is to get the talent to perform. Removing T.O. will make that job easier. T.O. will be impossible to replace from the aspect of a single player taking over his production but the thought is that if Romo can take possesion of the team perhaps a combination of all players can replace T.O.'s production simply by an increase in their production. Talent has not been the problem with this team for several years now. It's been chemistry and attitude and THAT is where addition by substraction comes from. If the chemistry and attitude gets better then I honestly believe the team will be better. But I also think they better get another ace receiver or they can't compete for a title.

Your arguement only applies if Romo performs on the field. If not then Cowherd is 100% correct.

Being tied for the most passing TDs the past two season even though he missed games isn't performing?

Hard to perform when you have Jason Garret as your OC. Romo isn't the one coming up with the game plan that other teams are publicly laughing at and calling simple to figure out.

[DDBooger]

now this is an excellent debate! :)

I happen to believe Romo can perform with a much more intricate scheme. Wonderboy Jason Garret, (highest paid OC?) hasn't turned out to be what Jones thought he was. The late Jim Johnson owned him along with many other d coordinators.

Yes, because even if you are playing football, you get tired and burnt out from it. I guess you have never ever taken a break from work to go on vacation or EVER played a game of golf on the weekend?

I guess if the cowboys don't go 19-0 you can blame it on him playing golf.

[Farmersfan]

Tony Romo had 14 interceptions and 13 fumbles. By far the worst in the league. If his fumbles were used in the ratings calculation he would be rated as one of the worst starting QB's in the league.

Never winning a playoff game is performing? Screwing up the Seattle playoff game is perfoming? Getting in bed with Jessica Simpson is performing? :D

Romo is a mediocre QB and always will be. He's the next level above QB bust.

LOL, now I figured out why you dont like Colin Cowherd. Cause he rips on Romo. I've been a Cowboy fan my entire life. Back when Roger Staubach was playing so when someone rips on the Cowboys I tend to listen. When they speak the truth its hard to dispute it.
There is guy in Corpus named Scott Howe who always rips the Cowboys but his big thing he likes to rip on the boys about is fairweather fans. This guys was so ignorant one day he said ON AIR the Cowboys fans were fairweather because, at the moment, he was doing a live radio show in a bar and grill in Corpus and there were no fans in the bar with a Cowboys shirt on. Now that is ignorant. Colin Cowherd calls it likes he sees it and I agree with him.

When did I blame Romo for that???? Seems to me if Garret only ran the ball 8 times then Romo had a ton of opportunity to make plays with his arm. How did he do?????

Blaming Jason Garrett is fine but you gotta blame Romo to.
If Romo was in the film room/weight room from sun up to sun down, first one in--last to leave, you would have a point in blaming Garret.

No I am not camparing the two D's. I am saying that the Cowboys D has had talented players to put the Cowboys in a postion to win games. Its just the QB doesnt have the work ethic in the offseason to take advantage of that talent deep in the season. December comes to mind.

Originally posted by Pick6

Dallas's biggest problem last year was the loss of McBriar, whether people want to admit it or not, changed field position and put alot more pressure on the defense because they had to defend on a shorter field than with McBriar punting...ie defense has to work harded allows more points which leads to Dallas trailing and Garrett thinking he has to abandon the running game(the injury to Felix Jones didnt help this either) and leaves Romo to throw it up way more times than Romo should be and leads to more INTs and the when you are passing way more than you are running with a average offensive line, hell with a majority of offensive lines you are gonna give up more sacks/ have more pressure on Romo... The key to a Cowboys successful season is keeping McBriar injury free which will change the field position dynamic. You also gotta keep Felix healthy and make him your number 1 RB because IMO Barber shouldnt be a starter, he needs to go back to the role he had behind Julius Jones, when he put up thos impressive TDs(I would know i had him on my fantasy team hat year.) still wish we could upgrade our secondary some but I'll address that issue another time.

[JasperDog94]

Don't forget the injury to Felix Jones. He was splitting time with Barber and had some incredible runs for huge gains. When he went down it put the full load on Barber...then he got hurt.

No running game = too much pressure on the QB.

I like the fact, that players, coaches, and the owner is coming out and telling everyone how and what they will be doing to alter the past mistakes. This will build confidence and character.

I want the same thing! I am a bigger cowboy fan than you will ever be. I'm just not a blind homer. I think I know what it will take to get them there and what I see from Romo and Wade Philips doesn't give much hope.
As far as players, coaches and owner telling us what they will do to change past mistakes..... welcome to the past several years. They do that every single preseason but never make the needed changes. But I will keep my fingers crossed.

It is good to be an optimist sometimes. Especially just before the season starts.:cool:

I'm just ready for some football! I don't care what happened last year! This is a new beginning as far as I'm concerned. I think the biggest single factor in the Cowboys' demise last year was INJURIES. If the Cowboys can avoid injuries, and fill in the vacated holes with quality players, I think they can at least compete for a division title. If the Cowboys don't make the playoffs this year, look for some wholesale changes next year. Coach Phillips will be demoted to DC, or fired altogether if they don't perform this year, JMO.

“Can we get Drew Bledsoe(notes) back out here [for] just a week so you guys can really fall back in love with Tony?” asked Irvin, a man with the gift of both Hall of Fame grab and gab. “Let’s put Drew Bledsoe back out here, because sometimes when you have a pretty girl for awhile, you forget how pretty she is. But when you throw the ugly girl next to her, you say, ‘No, I’m really doing well.’ Maybe we need to bring Drew out so we know we’re really doing well.”


Not that's funny:clap: :clap:

Just saw that on yahoo. This reminds of that Judas Priest song from the 80's "some heads are gonna roll". If Romo and Phillips and co. dont get the ship turned in the right direction, its going to get ugly in Dallas.
Not sure what he is toing to be on the depth chart but I would love to see McGee get a shot.

He's somewhere between 3rd string and practice squad. Most likely 3rd and unless there's an injury, he'll be inactive every game.

“Tony is 27-12 over his first 39 games."

Now for the "REST OF THE STORY":

Tony is 14-9 since the 13-3 start under Parcels. (and since signing his new contract)
Tony is 0-2 in the playoffs.
Tony's QB rating has declined since his rookie season.
Tony's completion percentage has declined every season.
Tony got a huge contract because of his ability to run out of trouble. He earned that contract to the tune of 41 total yards and 20 sacks in just 13 games last season.
Tony threw 81 TD's in 3 years and was personally responsible for 78 turnovers.......

And the clincher:

"If something in sports is the worst thing that ever happens to you, you've lived a pretty good life."



But I am positive! Go Cowboys...............

What's his record since nailing Jessica SImpson?

I hear he couldn't get it done. He tried to force it but couldn't overcome her defense. His "bottom heavy" status prevented him from sneaking up the middle and completing his objective. He once got really close but lost focus and stumbled during his forward momentum and headed for the wrong endzone. Well we all know what happens when that occurs!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

News Flash: Farmersfan knows more about football than all the professionals, including Michael Irvin. Makes me wonder why Farmersfan isn't a Professional Coach or GM some where.

Thanks Pick6! They made offers but I turned them down. It wouldn't be fair to give all this knowledge to just one team........
