Wow...can't believe Werder ran them down that much. I have a new level of respect for Ed. I always thought he was a Dallas shill. On a reflective note, how many read that and look at what Shanny is doing here and see some long term hope? No one can say that Shanny is accepting losing or that players feel comfortable with just getting by.
I do. The Redskins are the only team I in this area that I have hope will become a perennial contender in the very near future because accountability is being emphasized by Shanahan.

Along with Phillips, I hope they keep Barron for a long time also. I still can't believe how they gave that game to us. I'm still thanking Garrett and Barron to this very day!

Very good article. I hope no one in the Dallas organization reads it!
Cowboys management thinks it is unimportant which player starts as long as the better player is getting the ball the correct number of times. I disagree. I think it's important for players to know they are going to get exactly what they earn. For the lesser players to be motivated to develop, they must believe devoutly they can compete on an even playing field against a player with a bigger paycheck and higher draft status.
That actually sums up the DT vs AA debate here as well.
A side note - why is the Metrodome the nosiest place to play?

If Jerry would just hire a real coach and GM, and step out of the way, they might be dangerous.
Sounds familiar huh?

Stop with the optimism. It doesn't suit you very well. ;)

I'm a little uneasy piling on just yet. When they've lost 7 or 8 games, I'll happily do so. All of the negative publicity might just motivate them to get on track, it has in the past. If not, they might just head towards a major free fall & that would be fun to watch, after the debacles we've dealt with here in the last decade.
They are still a talented team & they are facing another talented but distraught team sunday w/head coaching/leadership issues. If dallas wins sunday, or for that matter minnesota wins, they're 2-3 & right in it. Losing this game will be huge for either team, but I'm still not ready to call either of them done.

I'm with you on this. While I've thoroughly enjoyed watching them tank the past few games, I think they'll win a few that we all think they shouldn't win. They do have the history of the December collapse, so I'm hoping that trend stays true.
I just REALLY want to see Minnesota take it to them and that will put out any little fire they had left.
