The reason The Cowboys suck (1 Viewer)

Jerry Jones ego!

The culture of the Cowboys is one of dysfunction and too much pressure put on them by an egomaniac GM/Owner. Talented yes, a good football team, no! :confused:

 
1. Jerry Jones

2. Idiot Coach

3. Romo isn't as good as he thinks he is

4. No flow or rhythm for the RBs

5. The fan base deserves this winless team :scared:

1. He's also got 3 SB rings as an owner.2. He's won 2 out of 3 division titles, hardly an idiot.3. I don't know how accurate that is, how do you know how good he thinks he is?4. True5. W/e, thanks bud.
 
Jerry does have the rings but he is partially responsible for hiring such a moronic head coach. The direct problem as I see now is a terrible head coach and terrible offensive coordinator play calling in Jason Garret. I am personally hoping they keep losing so they can cane Wade and company and start over with someone semi-competent.

The team lacks a true leader...Not why they suck but it certainly isn't helping their cause.
They are very talented but they lack that "eye of the tiger" type of attitude. They tend to play soft too much and have that attitude where they should win the game just by showing up. They need to spend more time blocking and tackling and less time doing interviews and reading the paper at how awesome they are.

Jerry Jones has three Super Bowl rings. The first two were with Jimmy Johnson as head coach.... when Johnson started getting credit for the Championships he was no longer the coach. Switzer came in and won one Super Bowl with the roster Johnson built. Last season was the first season since the Johnson roster that the Cowboys have won a playoff game. As long as the players know that the real boss is Jones, how are they ever going to respect the coaches?

1999 called. It wants its editorial back.
 
I don't think they suck. There's certainly a number of reasons one could point to for why they are playing poorly now. Every team/player in any sport has hot and cold streaks. This team is cold. They just hasn't gotten it going yet this year. And, the expectations on this team could not have been higher coming into the season. The Cowboys just have too much talent to continue sucking much longer.

I seem to recall a certain Saints team that came out of the gates looking like crap a couple of years back. They obviously came around.

 
Their playcalling leaves a lot to be desired, and their offensive line isn't very good and is downright awful with the injuries. With that combination, it doesn't matter how talented the rest of the team is.

 
Hmmmmm thats right, 1 mans ego must be the reason a football team sux. Dude I dont follow Cowboys or watch them often, but surely you could come up with a better argument than the JJ ego?

Its on the players to take charge. You dont just suddenly become aleader, you are born a leader.

 
The Cowboys don't suck and if you watched the games instead of making a post just for the sake of making one, you would have seen that they could have won either game vs the Skins and Bears very easily. Continue to hate while I tag this thread and bring it to your attention come week 11.

And they say Cowboy fans are frontrunners :rolleyes:

Jason Garrett is actually alot better than people give him credit for. During the Bears game there were four instances in the game that Romo had time in the pocket, and missed the open reciever with errant passes. These 4 plays cost the Cowboys 21 points. So if the Cowboys had converted on these and scored 38 I doubt Garrett recieves the needless criticism. Love how everyone is suddenly so dialed into Dallas and an expert on why their struggling.

Congrats for reciting the desperate mantra of every overrated 0-2 team. The Cowboys are a perfect example of the sum of the parts being greater than the whole because they have no leadership from the top right on down through the head coach and the incompetent play-calling of the already-anointed offensive coordinator. I also think that if Tony Romo weren't as "cute" in front of the cameras and able to make highlights every so often with desperate, scrambling plays, there'd be a lot more talk about his flaws and less of a tendency to flatter him with too much undeserved flattery.

Wrong. If receivers are dropping passes, then that's all the more reason to use a solid run game, right? Garrett's in love with the pass, run be damned. The only comparable play-caller is Andy Reid, but he at least has the excuse of having a non-elite running game.

I agree that Garrett should run more but if the run is not working then why try to fit a square peg into a round hole? Also Garrett should not be faulted for instance with Witten out he could not run his double TE package on a key 3rd down so he calls for a 3 wide and has Choice run a flare. A brillant playcall because Briggs has to cover flats and has a long distance to cover. Romo throws behind Choice and the Cowboys are forced to kick a FG which they miss. If Romo hits Choice in stride its a td or even if throws a catchable ball its a first. Look at this week, Houston is great at stopping the run and their pass defense is putrid. What would you do? Do you try to pound the ball feebly or do you shred their pass coverage, hell McNabb and his UFL grade recievers got 400+ recieving yards.

I tire of hearing about the rings the Cowboys have won under Jones as proof of his prowess. True they have them, and true he participated in the raping of Mike Lynn which directly lead to those rings, but when one owes their success to the abuse of the metally handicapped, and then has no further success, well it does not speak positively to their acumen.

Oh, perhaps I failed to lend enough credit to his ability to suppliment his abuse of poor dumb Mike Lynn with his ability to buy players, mercenaries, during the time that the NFL allowed that. Me, I don't brag about winning on an uneven playing field, though many Cowboy fans, like Yankee fans do.

Steeler and Packer successes impress me. Cowboy success impress me about as much as the guy that shows up to a classic car competition with one he bought rather than re-built himself. The car may be impressive in a vacuum, but in context the owner is just a divot.

A lot more talk about his flaws? A tendency to flatter him? Who on earth flatters him? The only reason I'm rooting for Romo is because of the irrational, across-the-board hatred for him. He's one of the most productive quarterbacks in the league and gets blamed for virtually everything that goes wrong for the Cowboys. He actually played very well in the playoffs last year, but is still constantly murdered as not being a "leader" and unable to win big games. Give me a break. Peyton has him killed for horrible performances in big games and Romo will never catch him.

Is there where you talk about the playoff games where Manning struggled and act like the playoff games where he played really well, like his dismantling of the number 1 defense in the NFL in last year's AFC title game, never happened?Also, I am not a Romo basher.

Indy is in the SB discussion every year because of Peyton. He's taken them to 3 Super Bowls, won 1 (he was MVP) and has 4 season MVPs. Are you freakin' kidding me?I think he's probably the best QB to ever play the game.

The point, as I would assume would be obvious, isn't that Romo is as good as Peyton Manning. The point is that players get reputations, and regardless of how they perform, either their good plays are heralded while their bad plays get swept under the rug, or the opposite happens. It's tiring how certain players get free passes and others don't based on things other than what happens on the field.
 
Interesting replies...

I think the reason The Cowboys won those two Super Bowls is because Jimmy was not going to listen to Jerry and do it his way. Finally Jerry's ego won out (plus his pocket book), and then the core group of players did it again. "How bout them Cowboys." That was America's Team. Not any more - Dem Saints are :P

I've always felt that Owners of any professional team need to leave the building of the team to those who know what they are doing and stay out of it! Stay out of thinking they know talent and play calling. Stay out and be a positive influence on their city. Just look at Tom Benson - supportive, enthusiastic, stayed in the background, wonderful for his city and community.

 
The organization needs a facelift.

Oh wait...Jerry has already started that process.

What kind of twinkle toes guy gets a face lift?
