  1. What's really weird is if we somehow manage to beat Philadelphia next week (a long shot, I know), we'd be right back in the thick of the NFC East. We'd be tied with the Eagles at 4-5 and Washington is due to start dropping some games. They're beat up and have never looked great.

    That's parity for you. Of course it's all on paper, too. I can't see how this Cowboy team could could string together enough wins to do anything this year, even in a bad division.

  2. The basic issue is what it always has been--Jerry would rather lose than win if someone else is able to take credit for it. That's why Garrett is here. He's Jerry's puppet, and would thus validate all of Jerry's delusions with a championship. 

    That said, I thought we'd at least beat f**king Tennessee.

    Need to clap harder, I guess.

    Spot on.

    That was one odd sequence of plays with time left on the clock. We were basically playing for the long field goal. I suppose it makes sense to The Clapper.

    Sigh. Can you believe that JV hack is our second-longest serving coach?

    I actually think Frost will turn out to be a good hire, but it's always fun to laugh at the Huskers.

    I like Frost, but I don't think he or anyone else will turn out to be a "good hire" for Nebraska. The fan base wants a level of national relevance its going to be very hard to sustain at Lincoln anymore.

  5. Despite my respect for what Campbell has done in the backwater that is Ames, I'd rather this hadn't happened. It spoils the luster of it if we beat WV, makes us look worse if we lose to them, and helps Iowa State believe they can be a trouble game for us.

    What kind of thought process is this? I don't give a shit if we lose in the playoffs. You definitely want to go there, not some glorified scrimmage bowl game.

    Just not concerned about the playoffs this year. They'd be tough to make with that Maryland loss and our other close calls, and I don't think we're likely to wind up one of the four best teams in the country in any event. So I'm not going to use making the playoffs as a metric for judging this season. After the last five years, I'd be delighted to finish with double digit wins, including winning a good bowl that's not hosting the playoffs (as opposed to the f**king Texas Bowl), and finish strong in recruiting.

    Like or dislike? Watching live, I did not like it at all when I saw we came out in wildcat. You are already telling them we are running the ball. I get it worked on the goaline but that was a different situation. I didn't mind the run call but not from the wildcat formation. I do get the playing it safe factor and to run clock. And we ran just enough clock to where Baylor ran out of time on their last drive. We made them use their remaining timeouts and the last thing we needed was an incomplete pass. The bubble screen was working at the end. I might have liked to see that rather than the wildcat run.

    Dislike, for pretty much the reasons you stated. It's not like we were blowing them off the line in our run game, so telegraphing on an important play didn't seem like a great idea. 

  8. I'll take 6-1 without complaint. I'm not concerned about the playoff. We're not that good yet, so we'd likely just be a first round loser. Might as well play in a bowl we could win.  

    I just want to see steady progress that can be sold to recruits.

    I get the logic, but we're not a good enough team to expect the defense to hold, especially when a FG wins it for the opponent.  If your defense is good enough to hold them, they can do it from the 42.  And if you can't get 4th and 1 you don't deserve to win.  Dumb decision.

    It's not like the defense had been forcing a bunch of three and outs. We did great on the goal line, but we only had the chance to do that because the Texans kept reaching the red zone. Don't get me wrong -- holding them to 16 in regulation is a good performance. But nothing we saw in that game would have indicated the Texans were a poor bet to get into field goal range if we gave them the ball.

    Not going for it was a gutless decision and a poor statistical bet.

    bullshit.  the team has plenty of talent.  a capable quarterback could complete balls to the receivers with any semblance of a run game.  dak is an overrated pile of piss-soaked hot garbage.  jerry’s greatest test as a GM will be whether or not he attaches the franchise to yet another decade of 7 and 9 bullshit by giving that clown a huge contract. 

    Our receiving corps is, at very best, deeply mediocre. The OL also isn't close to what it was in 2016. And Dak is never going to be Drew Brees or Aaron Rogers--he can't carry a team on his own.

    It all adds up to a big mess.

    Garret is gone. 4th and 1 sealed his fate.

    The Browns are better than the Cowboys in 2018. A good football team beats the Texans by 21. 

    Oh well, Longhorns are good again, so will stop caring as much this year about the Cowboys dumbasses

    Sadly, I don't think 4th and 1 did seal Jason's fate. If he can limp to 8-8 or 9-7 I can easily see Jerry keeping him. Jerry wants to win with a puppet coach so he can say those three Super Bowls were because of him.

    For the majority of the game, o line was great. But 4th quarter they made some mistakes. Glad we won and have more to learn from. 

    That's the truth. Still, after last year I'm simply grateful for the overall performance.

    garbage franchise stuck in 1992-1995 

    they actually believe they're an elite franchise when in reality for the last 20 years they're a bottom feeder ...a couple of decent regular seasons puts them slightly ahead of Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit and Washington...

    2 playoff wins in 20 years .....fucking Jacksonville had 2 playoff wins last January  

     

    But they are an elite franchise in the only way that counts to Jerry--they make tons of money, and he gets lots of attention.

    The root problem of this franchise will always be Jerry's need for the limelight over anything else. It's a sewage leak seeping into every single decision made, every action taken. It has a corrosive effect throughout the organization. Why do you think we're still bobbling around pretending Garrett is a coach that's going to take us anywhere? Because Jerry wants to win with his hand-picked sock puppet so he can say he was always the genius behind Jimmy Johnson. That matters more than actually winning a Super Bowl if someone else would get any credit in the media.

    Jerry can look tame at times. He can pretend Stephen is taking over the show at times. He can act like the decision-making process is more reasonable at times. But he will always be a throbbing malignancy on this franchise until the day he dies.
