Official 2015 Cowboys Thread- 4-12. We won the 4th pick! (2 Viewers)

[Bankerguy]

My team is a dumpster fire right now, so since misery loves company, how are you guys doing?

Do you think the Cowboys lose the next 3 (NE, @NYG, Sea)? I had predicted initially that the Cowboys could go .500 without Dez and Romo because their Oline and defense would be good enough to keep them going, but after Sunday's lose I am not so sure. 2-5 looks like a very strong possibility.

"We done" is our QB. My GF asked me what I wanted for my Bday and I told her a healthy Romo.

Do you think they are going to go to Cassel to start?

Not sure how Cassel is going to help that swiss cheese D they got going on the past 2 weeks.....

The D will be better soon with Hardy, Gregory and Lee back. QB and WR position is awful

 

[tonydead]

<--Weeden's not going anywhere, he's been adequate. If Sean Lee could've stayed on the field we probably win that game. Now we've got to get one down the road we weren't expecting to before Romo gets back. The rumors Dez coming back right after the buy true?

 

[Bankerguy]

I literally see no way we win against NE.

 

[mlbnfl]

I literally see no way we win against NE.

Yeah I'm worried that could get ugly quick. The line I saw had pats -10 and I can't see any reason why they don't cover unless th cowboys pickup garbage points late. This sucks, the season had/has such promise but we really need to right the ship and stay afloat.

 

[simmonjm]

I literally see no way we win against NE.

Not even sure we could beat a Jimmy Garapolo led Pats team.

 

[Manster]

I think the speculation that Dez will back after the bye is veeeeery optimistic.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

I'm actually optimistic about the Pats game. There's no reason we have a chance, which you all know that means we could win in a rout for no good reason.

If we get Hardy, Gregory, McClain and Lee, we could get a lot of pressure on Brady, which is the way they can be beaten.

The thing that concerns me the absolute most is a trend that I've noticed this year is us going with an empty backfield. We did that a lot in 2010 & 2011 and the running game suffered.

Essentially we either step up to the line in a clearly passing formation or clearly a running formation and the defense has the advantage going in. There's no deception or imagination.

I don't see it man. I think 5 wide caters to inexperienced qb like Weeden. He can make quick reads and use simple routes like slants/seams etc.

 

[tonydead]

Sean lee seen at practice with his helmet on. Limited.

 

[MASSHOLE]

I don't get to watch a lot of the Cowboys games, but in general how is the defense? What are their strengths? I believe they have had 1 real good week...With Hardy coming back I'm interested in hearing cowboy fans thoughts

Secondary has been good, the corners are finally playing up to their potential.

Linebackers have been good when Lee is on the field. The problem is him getting hurt. Julio started getting in rhythm in the second half when Sean left to go get his lip stitched. I think we win the New Orleans game is Sean doesn't leave with injury, we couldn't get set when Brees went no huddle without him. If Lee can stay in the game and with McClain back we might have one of the best linebacker groups in the league.

Or problem has been our defencesive line. We haven't been getting pressure on the QB. Even when our cornerbacks are playing good you can't expect them to cover Julio while he runs completely across the field because Ryan isn't rushed. Randy Gregory has been out and Mincy too. We need Hardy to change that. Even just the extra guy will help the rotation not to get gassed in the second half.

I'll add that they generally tire out due our offense being pretty meh....they have moments, but weeden/randle/Williams ain't scaring any defenses.....a defenses best friend is an offense that can sustain drives.

 

[tonydead]

Sean Lee is playing.

 

[The Man With No Name]

Dline and defense looking good early

 

[modogg]

this has to be the quietest team thread when your team isn't winning

 

[Kilgore]

He may no longer be adequate.

 

[Deamon]

Did anyone hear anything about CMike's benching after his good run? Heard he turned to the coaches and kinda threw his arms up after his run and was pulled for that. i didn't see that though.

 

[jkruppe]

Oof...so hard to watch this offense. I don't know if they've dumbed down the play-calling for Weeden or not, but after 3 starts, I think we know what we have with this guy and it's not "it". Cassel probably isn't the answer either -- Williams, Beasley, Street and Lucky are pretty awful -- but I doubt it can get any worse. Have to make a change there.

I haven't been really impressed with the O-line play for all their hype and talent. But, maybe it's just the pathetic predictability of this horrible offense. Mcfadden blowing his last opportunity.

At least it was fun to catch a glimpse of what this defense could really be. Jones looked good in the slot. Excellent pass-rush -- at least in the first half. Add Gregory to the mix and they could really do some damage. And McClain just looked happy to be back on the field. Still no turnovers. Some crazy bounces that aren't going their way but it's unreal to go from 2nd in the league in TO's last year and almost none so far this season.

We'll see if Garrett can hold these guys together.

 

[Manster]

Kellen Moore.....why not? I'd like to see what the kid can do.....we know what weeden and cassel can do....

 

[DreamTheater]

Kellen Moore.....why not? I'd like to see what the kid can do.....we know what weeden and cassel can do....

Totally agree with this. Although, I wish we wouldnt have spent that draft pick on Cassel with no intent on anything more than a backup role.

Going with Moore, cant possibly be any worse than Weeden. Like mentioned above, I dont know if Linehan has simplified the offense to the point of looking like a HS team.

The WR play is really that bad, Street and Whitehead are terrible,

Or maybe they really have no faith in Weeden and if that's the case, get him out of there.

But anyway you look at it, the offense is really is getting hard to watch at times.

Here's the full story on Cowboys making QB change. http://es.pn/1VR5G9A

Has to be done.

 

[tonydead]

Kellen Moore.....why not? I'd like to see what the kid can do.....we know what weeden and cassel can do....

Because cassels might win a game or two before tony gets back. He has 72 starts.

 

[jkruppe]

Hardy, Lawrence, Mincey, Crawford and Gregory are how we win this game. Should be fun to at least see this defense. We need turnovers.

 

[Bankerguy]

Glad we went to Cassel, but still very concerned with the offense.

 

[DreamTheater]

Glad we went to Cassel, but still very concerned with the offense.

I agree, but after watching the Giants last week, I am anticipating that our defense can do more than enough to pull out a win.

Cassel can manage the game better than Weeden IMO. But I guess we will find out.

 

[Bankerguy]

I hate how quiet our thread is....

[The Man With No Name]

Int on Williams

 

[DreamTheater]

3 INT's

Muffed fumble at end when D gave you a chance.

BUT there were times when D forgot how to tackle.

2-4 and going nowhere fast with SEA next.

 

[parasaurolophus]

Int on Williams

Still a dumb play. Had zero chance of success. Shouldnt have been picked, but no way Williams makes a catch there no matter what.

 

[DreamTheater]

Just saw the video where hardy shoves ST coach.

Didnt realize that till now.

I can deal with him and Dez getting into it. 2 men in a "football" argument. Happens in most games between players.

But when he gets into it with coaches, you gotta wonder how long before he totally cracks.

At 2-4, can you cut your losses on this guy ?

they should have never signed him. Jerry still thinks Dez and Romo are going to come in, be magically healed, and lead the cowboys to a super bowl. and Jerry would sign the devil himself if it helped win a super bowl.

Hate to say it, but I liked the signing at the time. We needed a big time pash rusher. Thought maybe this locker room would help him. Marinelli would help him.

But it looks like that's not the case.

So my point is, at this point at 2-4 with the possibility of going 2-7 by the time we are healthy and have everyone back, do we just cut bait here. The more we lose, the higher the chaos becomes IMO.

That being said, the argument is most likely a moot point, because as we all know Jerry will never admit he made a mistake.

Jerry thinks he is a leader

I'm afraid they will offer him a big contract after the season.

I don't care if we need a big time pass rusher, i don't want him.

why would the locker room help out Hardy? it doesn't seem like a maturity thing, and to be honest the Cowboys haven't had a strong character locker room in over a decade. i understand that they don't owe the media anything, but it seems like thety are way too lax and letting Hardy do whatever he wants to do:

Seriously? The guy slaps a clipboard and yells at Dez a bit after the most frustrating play during the most frustrating month of football and you guys are ready to write him off? That's the same attitude that had people here ready to trade Romo and Witten and Dez for cap space. Remember when some folks were thinking they were clever with the "blow it up" tagline? What do you think the punishment should be for throwing a tantrum on the sideline?

I hope Dez gives him more of it. I hope he was reminding Hardy that his defense hasn't had a turnover in October. The reason this team is 2-4 falls more squarely on the defensive side of the ball than on Weeden or Cassel or anything else, imo. Somebody had better get pissed off soon.

Haven't had a strong character locker room in over a decade? Give me a break. I'd say Dez and Randle would disagree with you. Romo and Witten and Ware are some of the highest character players in the league -- for over a decade. I'm not comparing Hardy's character to them -- obviously, it's not close. But if the worst thing he does is make a stupid comment to the media and slap a coach's clipboard, then I think we'll be fine.

well, good luck with it. It seems many are backing Hardy for this one, and i think comparing Dez to Hardy is quite premature considering this is Hardy's 2nd game with the Cowboys (3rd maybe?). and of course there is plenty of this:

Greg Hardy - DL - Cowboys
NFL Network's Ian Repoport reports Cowboys RE Greg Hardy was late for practice last Thursday and didn't call anyone on the team to let them know.
Hardy missed a ton of practices while at Ole Miss, leading him to being a 2010 sixth-round pick, and was also the "far and away leader" of missed practices while with the Panthers. His talent has let him skate by to this point, and this has only made the news because of Hardy's sideline blowup with Dez Bryant on Sunday. Hardy has made an on-field impact through two games with his new team, and Dallas will simply continue to put up with it as long as Hardy produces.

All of which were a known quantity when they signed him. How many "issues" did Dez have in the first 3 years? Even culminating in a bogus blow-up in some Wal-mart parking lot? I say we save our outrage for when he actually does something that deserves it.

I hope you are right, cause this guy has a TON of talent that we could really use. I hope that his sideline antics were just a by-product of what was happening on the field play on this given Sunday.

I dont like the "No Comment" attitude with the media, and yes, they may have taken anything he said and ran with it in a negative spin. But I just think that made it possibly look worse than it could have been.

I also hope that when Jerry decides to give him a rediculous contract in the offseason, he puts in some kind of morality clauses. Lets face it, whats going to happen once he has his $$.

interesting topic on Dallas radio yesterday...

Would you rather have Tony / Dez come back, go 9-7 (hopefully) make playoffs or not get Tony back this season, and most likely get a top 5 pick.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Jerry Jones has been ####ting on the legacy for years now. The only new development is that Jerry's diet has worsened, with corresponding results when he defecates.

Would you rather have Tony / Dez come back, go 9-7 (hopefully) make playoffs or not get Tony back this season, and most likely get a top 5 pick.

With the limited number of seasons Romo has left, you definitely pick playoffs. 4 of the last 8 Super Bowl winners played in a wildcard game. They just got hot at the right time. With Romo and Dez, the Cowboys definitely have the ability to get hot at the right time.

I'll settle for not rushing romo or Dez back and causing any further issues

I'd love to think Romo and Dez get back, never lose a beat, and we win the super bowl. I just don't think it will go like that.

Stephen Jones said Dez in on track to play this weekend.

Tony said to bank on him playing against Miami.

If we can win one or two games before Tony gets back we will be right in the thick of things.

IF we can win one or two games and IF Tony is actually healthy enough to play and if Dez is actually healthy enough to play and if neither gets hurt form rushing back and neither is rusty then maybe we can make a run

Does anyone see this team as better than last years? Do we see this team going into Green Bay and winning? I don't

I'd love to see thme make a run, but it seems unlkikley. What seems evident is from the moment Romo and Dez went down Jerry was pushing hard for them to be back on the field the moment they are cleared because this is the magic season. It doesn't seem magic, and I don;t want to jeopardize the health of our two main weapons. Maybe there's no risk, I am not sure. What I am sure about is I don;t trust that Jerry is thinking clearly on this.

I do. In those first two games Tony was playing (reading defenses) better than I've EVER seen before. I don't think anyone can argue that their defense isn't better. The OL hasn't changed. What part of the team hasn't got better? And before you say running back I think the jury is still out on whether it was the RB or the OL last year; you need a QB under center that keeps teams from just putting 9+ in the box. Weeden couldn't do that and you saw what McFadden did with Cassel. With Tony under center I don't think it matters.
