Vikings Run Up The Score: Brooking vs. Pat Williams

So what's the speculation that Phillips is kept around because he's a puppet guy for Jones?

Well, he is definitley a puppet for Jones. I mean how many owners actually come down to the sidelines during the game? As anal as everyone say Snyder is, I've never seen him on the sidelines. The only reason Jones extended Phillips an additional is year is so he's not a lame duck coach with just 1 year left. If the Cowgirls shit the bed again like they did to end the 2009 season, Phillips will be fired as quickly as Zorn was.

I think Jerry considers himself(or wants to be) the headcoach to some degree, thus he has Wade as his DC, and Garrett as the OC. I don't see Wade as any more of a true HC then people considered JZ in his last weeks here.

Wade is now 33-15 regular season with the Cowboys so it's hard to hate on that record. If Shanahan puts up a similar record I don't think you'll hear many complaints around here.

You better pass whatever you are smokin on! We could win a Superbowl with Shanny and there will still be complaints because we didn't get the 1st round bye or something.

^^ when you go 4-12 with 2 decent seasons sprinkled in over the past decade any fan base is going to complain.

All fans complain, listen to NFL radio enough and you would think every team in the league blows.

All I can say is "What a difference a year makes".

Take a look at the NFC East at the end of the 2008-2009 season...Dallas was a train wreck of dysfunction. Everyone here saw it, the team was falling apart from within and of the 4 teams in the division, the future was most bleak for Dallas.

"Take out the trash", TO, Tank, Pac-Man all kicked to the curb. Then it fell to the coaches to get the team moving in the right direction.

At the end of this season, now, Dallas is probably in the BEST shape in the division moving forward.

You can bet that Phillips got a lot of the credit for the renewed team continuity and that had a lot to do with his extension.

teams can play the way they want.the only thing i dont believe in is trying to purposely to hurt soemone.other than that it's fair game.i guess his mouth wrote a check his butt couldn't cash.he should have understood that he was really angry with himself and the defense that was going to stomp on the Vikings when they were down.

I'd just like to remind everyone that over the past couple of years we've moaned and groaned about how Farve has gone back and fourth on retirement the last few offseasons (myself included). This year though I don't want to hear a peep from anyone. Farve is now officially a hero in Redskin nation. He stopped a Dallas playoff run and took away the right for Dallas fans to heckle us more then they already do. I don't know about you guys but I'm building a Farve shrine in my room right now that will make John Madden jealous.

In honor of that ass whooping I'll be rooting for the Vikes to win it all and I'm changing my avatar until they get eliminated!
