Another bad week for the boys and now they lose Romo. The wheels are coming off. Their division is too tough to get behind early in the season. Arizona came to play though, that was a great game.

Yep, their whole season is unraveling before their eyes.

Romo gone 4 weeks. Felix Jones gone 4 weeks. Matt Briar, the best punter in the NFL, done for the year.

All in one game.

I was going through a couple of the Cowboys sites last nite...the call it out and the call is loud for Phillips to be fired. My guess is that with what Jones has invested in Garrett and this team and knowing that this is supposed to be the Cowboys year, Phillips will be gone in 2 weeks, bye week at the latest. If the Cowboys lose to the Rams this weekend, he's definitely gone before the day is over.

Phillips is way too soft and has too much of a nice-guy approach. He might be a good guy to play for, but the Cowboys are lacking drive and discipline now and it's really starting to show. I think Garrett can give them that and I don't think Jones will wait around until the end of the year to elevate him to head coach. He'll do it soon in order to make sure the Cowboys keep their shot at the playoffs alive.

But at least the Skins lost and the Browns blew out the Giants. Breathing a sigh of relief on that, so the Cowboys are still only a half game down. But there is no doubt they should be 6-0. Both of their loses came to teams that they should have definitely beaten, if not blown out.

They had discpline with Parcells.

Yeah, they did...but they were always playing tight, didn't seem to enjoy the game. They have that under Phillips, but are now sadly lacking in discipline. I'm hoping Garrett can marry both of them and get them playing to their potential, both with discipline and with passion. Something needs to happen, that's for sure. And I can't see Jones waiting around for a complete implosion. He's paying Garrett the same amount he's paying Phillips...the reason for that is precisely due to how this season is going.

Garrett is over rated. Lets see him earn that salary with B Johnson back there. The OC really needs to come thru now. 'Boys got lucky the G-men and skins tanked.

All i'm going to say about the cowboys is the AFC south is harder and we're 5-0 who else can say that this year

[ronjon619]

Titans really have not played anybody. They get the Colts on Monday night in 2 weeks.

[flood]

5-0 is still 5-0 and no one but NO ONE in the NFL can say that this year but the titans

Guys like TO and Pacman are major distractions. Many team members just want to play football without the drama. When the going gets tough TO is a terrible team mate and it affects everyone. Regardless of what they say publicly, TO tears apart a team over time. Few people, if any, can handle that situation. Parcells did better than anyone at overcoming it. Love him or hate him Parcells is a great football coach and leader. The best manager (and toughest) I ever worked for used to say "people just want to be led". In other words be the leader, be strong, make the tough decisions, dont play favorites, and dont let the tail wag the dog. TO ruins chemstry and undermines leadership. Outstanding talent but I'll never like the guy and I hope he never gets a ring.

thats true......who do you guys have next.......the world class KC Chiefs. Go get 'em. Just because the Botls knocked you guys out last year. No hard feelings.
