How long will Wade Phillips last?

Last night Jerry Jones had some strong comments about his preseason Super Bowl favorites. He said several players will pay for this including "players and coaches". When asked if he could put his finger on any one reason for the bad season so far he said, "I don't have enough fingers". After the game, Wade did not ride the team plane. He rode on the plane with Jerry. This morning I showed up to Valley Ranch and no Wade in his normal parking spot. There is a press conference scheduled for 4pm CST today. Will Wade be there?

Cowboys Fall to 1-6; New QB, Same Result

Well Cowboy fans...I think its safe to start cheering for another team to go the Super Bowl. Kitna gets his first start and did get the ball out quicker to move the offense down the field, but the red zone was still a problem. Kitna throws for over 300 yards plus a touchdown to Witten, but he had 4 interceptions. Three of those you can pin solely on the wide receiving core tipping catch-able balls. The run game was nonexistent and special teams were lackluster. With the problems on offense for this season, a lot of the media has given the defense a pass. Once again another QB has his best career game against the Wade Phillips led defense. David Garrard had 5 TDs including 1 rushing touchdown leading the Jags to a 35-17 win. It wasn't even that close. Even the fearless leader of "Cowboy Nation", Jerry Jones, felt compelled after the game to apologize to fans for the 1-6 start to the season. Coach Phillips admitted in the press conference that he was "lost" at this point and does not know how to motivate the team. Next week the Cowboys go to Lambeau Field to play the Packers on Sunday Night Football. Lets just hope that Cowboy fans will take the bags off their heads in the stands for this game.

Cowboys Suck! Tony Romo is Out! Dez Bryant is going to Hawaii! Oh yeah.....Cowboys Suck!

Ok...Now if you guys have ever heard the show then you know I'm a Cowboy fan! But boy do they suck right now! The 1-5 Boys didn't penalize themselves to a loss this time, the just got whooped. The Giants again seemed to just be more physical then the team that needed the win. The Boys came out blazing with a TD to Witten, but failure to capitalize on another turnover should have warned me then. Miles Austin was missing sure catches, the running backs could not run, and once again our secondary looked like the should be playing Saturday morning at your local field not Monday night. Eli Manning, the only Super Bowl winning QB in the NFC East, looked like his older brother directing the pass protection and calling audibles. Did I mentioned he threw 4 TDs! Bradie James and Keith Brooking were getting pancaked by the Giants offensive line all game.

To add insult to injury, Tony Romo breaks a collarbone in the second quarter and gives the offense to 14 year veteran John Kitna. Did I mention that he went 3 and out 14 straight times! He is done!

Dez Bryant was the only player on the team that seemed to play with heart. He scored 3 TDs, 2 receiving and 1 on a punt return. Maybe the players need to follow a ROOKIE as a leader. He seems to be the only player trying to win after Romo went down.

Dez...buddy pack your bags for Hawaii. Wade...pack your bags too!!!!

Dallas Cowboys Lose to the Minnesota Vikings; Drop to 1-4 and last in the NFC East

The Boys lose again! This time to the Brett Farve and the Minnesota Vikings. Its the same story as last week, penalties and turnovers hurt the Cowboys. Mike Jenkins was still getting called for pass interference and the offensive line was still getting penalized. We have all been giving Romo a pass because of the numbers he has put up this season. At 1 - 4 all bets are off! This pro-bowl quarterback again loses another must win game by turning over the ball. Only fitting for a player that made his introduction into the mainstream fumbling away a playoff win. This is Romo's second game in a row throwing a pick to end a late game drive. As the team was getting 4 penalties in a row you did not see Wade Phillips in anyone's face holding someone accountable. The team gets another "touchdown celebration" penalty; this time in the first quarter. After all that they, end with a desperation "miracle" play that only works in Disney movies. This is not a good team. The coach is not a good coach. The quarterback is not a good quaterback. This defense is not a good defense despite what the stats say. There are no good 1 - 4 teams.
