Where is Tinker Bell this year?Nothing worse than fair weather fans or non fans in a fan thread.
As a F. Jones owner my concern is that both injuries to Felix came on plays where there wasn't allot of contact.Colts and Bob Sanders, Eagles and McNabb, etc. etc. etc.Felix had one injury last season that caused him to miss time. The trainers worsened it.If your season/team relies on a part time player with a very high tendency to get hurt.....you might have a problem. He helps, but come on.riot_208 said:I agree that playcalling and WR's are average but I do believe that the Key to this whole year lies with The Health of Felix jones. We can have balance on Offense with Either Barber or choice , but nither of them have the consistant game breaking ability of Felix. He makes the Other teams Def coor. pick his poison. Play the pass heavy or run? when he's on the field the average wr's seem more open because they are but when he's not they are not huge playmaker's so offense will look shaky. when there all out there, very hard to beat this team. you will see and then you can tell me I was right
Felix has had one injury this season that's caused him to miss time. Hopefully the trainers don't worsen it.
He's pretty new to the league, we'll see if he has a "very high tendency" to get injured... we don't know yet. Right now, Barber has had more injuries this and last season than Jones. Does he have a "very high tendency" to get injured as well?

Nothing worse than fans who accept mediocrity. Woopdie do, they MIGHT, make the playoffs, IF THEY ARE LUCKY. Then what? You really think these idiot coaches and Romo are capable of winning a big game? UH NO, THEY HAVE PROVEN THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!I don't give a damn about winning the wildcard, winning the division, or even making it to the NFC finals. IT ALL MEANS NOTHING! The teams that celebrate such worthless accomplishments are losers like the Cleveland Browns. A true fan doesnt stand for this. As far as im concerned, fire everybody now and start the rebuilding process immediately. This team doesnt have what it takes to win a superbowl, so why continue with this. We all knew Wade Phillips and Garret were garbage, but we have to put up with another garbage year with them at the helm, LET'S MOVE ON!Nothing worse than fair weather fans or non fans in a fan thread.
Calm down, Francis. I don't think people are accepting mediocrity. They just don't lose their mind after 4 games. Many teams have bounced back from poor starts to finish strong. I'd rather struggle now and finish strong, then start fast for the 3rd year in a row, only to flame out in December. They are missing TO, and trying to work the young rec's in the mix. No reason to lose it or cry that the sky is falling.Nothing worse than fans who accept mediocrity. Woopdie do, they MIGHT, make the playoffs, IF THEY ARE LUCKY. Then what?

I watch the games the same as you - just rooting for the other team. I dont see the magic with Felix Jones. You are a typical Boys fan with blinders on, just like you all were the last 4 years or so with Romo and now you all are turning. It will happen too with Felix - you will see.Actually, you are clearly missing the impact Jones has on the team. What has he done other than get hurt? Why don't you bother to look before asking a question like that, You got a snarky reply, because you made a stupid comment.horadadude said:C Mon dude - the corndog comment was uncalled for. I am stating the obvious. It is an open forum. I respect you for what you are doing.Texasmouth said:Why come in here just to start crap? Do we come to your work and knock the corndogs out of your hand?horadadude said:I love how all the Boys fans talk about the difference maker - Felix Jones - what has this guy done except for gettting hurt. Romo is useless and not a franchise QB.riot_208 said:if felix is on field on those last 2 plays we have much better chance to have tied that game. Simple that Def. would have had to respect his quikness on edges. this is basic. but just like when welker is not on field, Brady struggles more:}

No, you don't. You assume everyone who think A Cowboys player is good, MUST BE a Cowboys fan. That's simply not true.In fact, that stance implies that you are biased against the Cowboys, which is why you refuse to see any good in any Cowboys player. And you're writing that you watch the games but root for the other team shows you are anti-Cowboys. So frankly, no, you don't know what you are talking about.Switz - Great reply.

And their backups come in a do a good job till they return. Bullit, Kolb, etc. etc. It doesn't shut down the offense. The original poster has the WHOLE OFFENSE riding on one guy in an RBBC with Choice as a third even gettting carries. To me, just my opinion, that's not logical.Two seasons, two injuries. A trend is forming. Yes, Barber has a high tendency to get injured. If odds were made of him playing all 16 games before the season it would have been an easy bet against it. Felix too.Colts and Bob Sanders, Eagles and McNabb, etc. etc. etc.Felix had one injury last season that caused him to miss time.

They don't have the wideouts to run a vanilla scheme.texasheat said:Coach Joe made what I thought was an interesting observation on the post game show that made sense and frustrated me at the same time. Paraphrasing "Jason Garrett is trimming the game plan significantly in an attempt to keep Romo in check as far as turnovers go. But at the same time it's crippling his big play ability." They need to hand him the reigns and live and die by his big plays. They aren't good enough to let him be a "bus driver" and still beat decent teams.
Can we have a list of the fair weather fans? Am I included because I'm critical of the team?Nothing worse than fair weather fans or non fans in a fan thread.![]()
You need to learn his other alias (s). There are 2 that I know of.Where is Tinker Bell this year?Nothing worse than fair weather fans or non fans in a fan thread.
notime to give up and play for the uncapped year under gruden or cowher.With Roy Williams perhaps out a few weeks and none of the WR's appearing to be viable anyway is it time to look at Matt Jones again? If not him then it's time to bring in someone ... anyone. Hurd and Crayton is laughable ... Miles Austin is what he is and it's a low end reserve. I'm not sure why Bennett isn't getting more looks ... perhaps they're keeping TE's in to help Flozell as a 6th OL the TV doesn't always show. They need atleast SOMETHING else viable to free up Witten or this will be a VERY poor offense.
While I will agree with you that Felix's 10.2 ypc is impressive - the fact that he gets hurt and splits time with Barber makes me not want him on my FF team. Since that is what we all are here for. As for being biased against the Cowboys - you got me there - lets hold off on putting this guy in Canton until he plays in more than 8 games. A special player is somebody like Adrian Peterson - not Felix Jones.No, you don't. You assume everyone who think A Cowboys player is good, MUST BE a Cowboys fan.

Anyone with half a lick of football sense can see Felix is a special player. They can also see that the Cowboys could easily be 4-0, just as they are 2-2. I'm NOT a Cowboys fan (Colts fan as MOST people on these boards know) and I can see those two points. The fact you can't says much.
i think that was the main problem. that, and the Denver D was pretty darn good.The Cowboys misses Terell Owens yesterday. I don't think the pass protection was bad, I think the Wr's weren't getting open and Romo couldn't find any open receivers.
On the few plays that receivers were open, Romo was not throwing the ball well. I also think there are some opportunities for Romo to get some yards with his feet and he's not taking it.
Not having a deep threat hurt Dallas. I don't know what Dallas was doing with Witten yesterday, but it was not the right thing. I didn't see him downfield enough.
Losing that game made me sick.
lolDon't be such an obvious troll bud.Worst receiving corp
To be honest, I can't think of any worse... Raiders? Maybe? Who do you really think has a worse receiving corps?Don't be such an obvious troll bud.Worst receiving corp
I don't think anyone is arguing that Dallas doesnt need improved WR play and talent. Similarly, I'm not sure you're grasping the degree to which TO has declined. With the exception of the SF game last year, he was rather pedestrian all season. Its continuing in Buffalo this year.TO is no longer the answer in Dallas or anywhere else. Dallas was right to cut him and move on. Again, this is not to say that Roy Williams is the answer. He's clearly not. Nor is Crayton or Hurd or Austin.Are Cowboy fans finally willing to admit that releasing Owens was the death of this offense? Worst receiving corp in the league now and Romo isn't good enough to get it done with this group. The Cowboys need Owens. They aren't making the playoffs with that offense, which is a shame, because the D is actually playing fairly good ball...well until the game is on the line, of course.
You know ... I would start Murphy and a healthy Schillens over any Cowboys WR and Zach Miller would give Witten a run for his money. The Chiefs with Bowe hurt come close.To be honest, I can't think of any worse... Raiders? Maybe? Who do you really think has a worse receiving corps?Don't be such an obvious troll bud.Worst receiving corp
They're pretty much tied for worst with the teams above. Only thing with Cowboys, is all those teams have one WR with potential to develop into a star. I don't think the Cowboys have that player.Teams with a worse receiving core IMO
Rams-Worst in the league Nope, Robinson is on IR but was good, Avery showed more promise as a rookie than any DAL WR rostered right now
Raiders-Schilens looks promising but the rest isn't very good. They're young though so perhaps they'll turn into something. Murphy, Higgins both have potential
49ers(without Crabtree)-Isaac Bruce is about as good of an old receiver as you can get but the depth afterwards isn't anything to write home about. Don't argue that Josh Morgan is a good WR, he's really not. Bruce at this age is still better than Roy
Dolphins-Ginn Jr. and Camarillo? Ooookay Bess has potential, and Ginn is on par with the Boys WRs
Then I've got the Cowboys' WR, so they're obviously one of the worst but not THE worst in the league.

I'm not sure why folks in a Cowboys thread are so reluctant to include the Redskins WR corps in this discussion.

It's debatable if all teams have a receiver that will develop into a star. My argument isn't that the Cowboys have even a GOOD WR core but it's not the worst in the league.

) and would much rather the Cowboys trade 3 picks for an Anquan Boldin if the Cardinals would've been open to the trade with his contract rumblings. They need talent at the WR position definitely, all I can hope is they make it a priority.
I see your point on the Redskins but I didn't include TEs in the equation, just WRs. The Cowboys wouldn't be one of the worst in the league if you add TEs, they have plenty of talent there.I'm not sure why folks in a Cowboys thread are so reluctant to include the Redskins WR corps in this discussion. Cooley is comparable to Witten, and maybe Randle El is superior as a #3 slot guy, but Moss isn't a true #1 and I'm not seeing much more than perhaps potential with the rest of them.
I was going to add the skins and the Titans.One could argue that at least Santana Moss has show the ability to be a Steve Smith of Carolina type if given the touches. Or if he gets to go up against Roy Williams the safety.I'm not sure why folks in a Cowboys thread are so reluctant to include the Redskins WR corps in this discussion.

This is a good one. For three years non-Cowboy fans have been arguing how TO is a cancer and is hurting the team while Cowboy fans have strongly defended him. Now that he is cut and the passing game has struggled the non Cowboy fan is claiming he won this argument. To me it looks like the Cowboy fan has been right all along.And I am not a Cowboy fan; I just call them like I see them.Are Cowboy fans finally willing to admit that releasing Owens was the death of this offense?

Moss is a 1A. While similar to Smith in terms of size and explosiveness, he can be shut down and can't create his own opportunities. He's also had problems with drops at times. Moss should be a #2, which he could thrive at, or at least have a solid, larger WR opposite him, but unless Kelly pans out that will never happen. So in other words, he's no Steve Smith.I was going to add the skins and the Titans.One could argue that at least Santana Moss has show the ability to be a Steve Smith of Carolina type if given the touches.

Pretty sure Austin gets picked up by somebody considering he was offered a contract in the offseason.culdeus said:Lets add this to the discussion. The cowboys cut the following players tomorrow and by miracle the NFL loses their paperwork and allows them to be signed at the veteran minimum. Who of this list gets a job on another team?Hurd, SamuelAustin, MilesOgletree, KevinCrayton, PatrickI think Crayton probably does get picked up by somebody. I think the rest of the three are bagging groceries. The other question is if Roy went on the market as an UFA what would his offer be? Would he even get 2 for 5?
Don't blame him. It's not his fault. Tony just has trouble counting past two.There are now some stories and pics making the rounds that Romo did not know the down on the last play of the game. I saw pics with him holding up 3 fingers after the play and then showing frustration immediately after.
poorly prepared teams have poorly prepared players who make poor plays and poor decisions. This is a poorly prepared team run by terrible coaches. The best thing that could happen at this point is a loss to KC this weekend forcing jerry to finally fire these losers. This team WILL NOT! get better, until the entire staff is fired and they start new. Bring in Cowher, bring in Shanahan, I do not care, BRING IN ANYTHING! Any good coach could win a superbowl with this collection of talent. True fans stop lieing to themselves and hoping for worthless victories when the end result is another FAILURE! and anything less than a superbowl is a FAILURE! This is the Dallas Cowboys, superbowls only thing that matter, not making the playoffs, or winning the stupud division, WHO CARES! SUPERBOWLS ALL THAT MATTER!!!!!!!! FIRE THE STAFF! FIRE THEM ALL! FIRE THEM ALL NOW!!!! WE WILL NEVER WIN WITH THIS COLLECTION OF SUCK COACHING STAFF!!!There are now some stories and pics making the rounds that Romo did not know the down on the last play of the game.
