[quote=SmootSmack;756367]Austin's problem is that he broke up with Kim Kardashian, and I've told him as much. Lamar Odom+Khloe=Championship. Reggie Bush+Kim=Championship. It's really quite simple[/quote]

That's an excellent point.

Speaking of dropped passes, I actually know the chick (well, one of them) that's dating Los. I wonder if we should switch her out for Kim Kar?

Wow...this thread went down the toilet as fast as the Cowboys' season!

Re: Redskins
 

[quote=CRedskinsRule;756365]Have you watched Dallas games, Austin fell off, he has been dropping passes alot. Now either that means Romo is not getting him the ball right, or he is not catching them. Again you say keeping it real, but your point that started this was that you would take a list of players from Dallas, well great, every team has some players I would take. I would not purposefully take any one of the players you listed over another player on a different team, because none are the best at their position, so why try to tout them or blow their horn, when they as a team are 1-6 and the play on the field has been sub-par. I don't really care what they did last year, because the division last year really ended with major dropoffss or underwhelming play. Fact is that group has been together for nearly four years, and always have excuses as to why their awesome talent is winning SB after SB after SB. First it was TO, then it was dirty play by the Vikings, now it's the HC. Like I said, you want to keep it real, then you have to acknowledge that they just aren't as good as the media and press have built them up to be.

Again, I am not saying they are horrible, but to your quote:
I call BS. No, I wouldn't give "anything" to have those sad sacks(minus DB) on our team and the fact that you would says you are lost in the DDZ (Dallas Dream Zone), where it's never about the players failing to make plays, and always about some evil plot to keep them down.[/quote]
I agree Austin has has dropped the rock alot this year but I doubt he stays in that slump. I also would take other NFL talents over those Cowboys (except D-Ware) but again, it didn't start off as a league wide topic. As for Mc5, he is still a decent QB, but he's not a top tier player. That was proven when Reid let him come to us and when Shanny benched him during a crucial part of the game. As for your lil' "DDZ" thing, I guess those FORMER SKINS that I've mentioned suffer from this too.

Re: Jerry Jones apologizes for team's 1-7 record.
 

You keep referring to the former skins as if that means something? you haven't quoted them, and I don't listen to Lavar ever, mostly I listen to Sirius NFL football radio, so I don't know what those guys say. I will say that BMitch was an excellent Redskin, Lavar not so much sadly. This thread is about the Cowboys owner saying "1-7" when they are 1-6, which on a redskins board ought to be enough to get everyone howling with laughter, not coming in and even faintly praising their players after they all have had horrible seasons by any definition you want to use (except DWare and DB).

It's pretty simple. I hate the Cowboys, I think it's hilarious that they are 1-6, and that until they lost the 6th one a bunch of the media was still talking playoffs for them. Any media that wants to do that, including BMitch or Lavar or anyone else you want to quote, is IMO living in the DDZ.

Cowboys, where 1-6 lives to surrender another day.

I don't feel sorry for this clown.

He is just as bad as DS thinking he can get it done by himself. He really has put some talent there in Dallas, but this isn't league is not about talent alone. Look at the Patriots. A bunch of no name guys again and the best record in the league.

SCREW THE COWBOYS AND ALL THIER BLOWHARD FANS. Welcome back to the world of suck. Most recently populated by us.

[quote=44ever;754871]Dallas has always been successful when they have a great Coach, a great QB, a great RB, and a great WR. They don't have any of these qualities anymore. I'm actually surprised JJ is dumbfounded.

They made the right choice in sticking it out with Romo IMO, but they have not been able to get that magic combo of players together that they have enjoyed for so many years.

Kinda like the missing Hogs for us.[/quote]




Thank you Captain Obvious. A team - - any team - - tends to be "successful" when they have a great Coach, a great QB, a great RB and a great WR.


I am trying to think of a team that was successful - - say they won a playoff game in a given season - - where the team had a stinking QB, a WR named Butterfingers, a running back that could not outrun a snail and Coach dumber than sack of stones. Can't come up with one of those...

Well I think his point was it was when they excelled in all those categories, not say like the 2000 Ravens who had a solid, but not great QB in Trent Dilfer; the 1999 Titans who had no WR with over 700 yards receiving

Re: Jerry Jones apologizes for team's 1-7 record.
 

As the resident "trying to keep it real" guy around her for the last 5 years or so, I have to say that the Dallas Cowboys underachievement so far in 2010 is stunning.

Looking at the players on the field this season only - - forget all about potential and previous glory and all that stuff because the games are being played in the present tense - - the Cowboys have a significantly more talented roster than the Redskins. Nevertheless, they are 1-6; the Redskins are 4-4. You are what your record says you are...

Let's compare starting rosters in 2010:

[B]Offensive line:[/B] Maybe - - I said MAYBE - - Trent Williams could start for Dallas this season. Other than that, there is no offensive lineman on the Skins' roster who would play for the Cowboys. [B]Advantage: Big Edge to Cowboys![/B]

[B]Tight End:[/B] As good as Chris Cooley is, he would not start over Jason Witten. [B]Advantage: Cowboys[/B]

[B]WRs:[/B] Santana Moss could make the Cowboys team and compete for a starting spot. That's it. NO ONE ELSE on the Redskins' roster at WR even makes the Dallas team except perhaps Armstrong as a special teams' guy.[B]Advantage: Edge to Cowboys[/B]

[B]QB:[/B] McNabb (the 2010 version not some idealized memory of him 5 years ago) is better than Romo (the 2010 version not some hyped memory of him stepping into the breach for the Cowboys at QB several years ago). If McNabb had a star on his helmet, he would start and Romo would sit. [B]Advantage: Skins[/B]

[B]RBs:[/B] Torrain, Portis and Williams versus Choice, Barber and Jones. Frankly for the 2010 season, none of them have been anything to write home about; none of them are versatile/durable enough to play every down every week. Portis used to be the best of this lot; his best days are in the rear view mirror. Jones is the fastest of this lot; one day he may learn how to use all that speed effectively. [B]Advantage: PUSH - no defensive coordinator in the NFL loses even a moment's sleep thinking how he will stop either of these crews.[/B]

[B]DL:[/B] Haynesworth has more talent than any of the D-linemen on either squad; the only question is how often he will decide to express that talent. For the sake of argument we'll say he could start for Dallas. After that, I don't see how Carriker, Daniels, Golston [I]et.al.[/I] break into the starting line-up in Dallas. Perhaps as rotation guys, but not starters. [B]Advantage: Ever so slight edge to Cowboys because they have more players that are "better" as opposed to having the one best player who may or may not choose to play hard on any given Sunday.[/B]

[B]LBs:[/B] Orakpo can start for the Cowboys; Ware can start for the Redskins. Anyone who doubts that should not have been reading this far into this post. Keith Brooking can start for the Skins and London Fletcher can start for the Cowboys. So the advantage in this category comes from the "others". I think Spenser and Carter/Alexander are a wash. The difference comes down to McIntosh versus Bradie James. I happen to think Rocky is better, but I would not waste time arguing with anyone who thought James was better. [B]Advantage: PUSH. This is the defensive strength for both teams.

DBs:[/B] The cornerbacks are comparable; Terrence Newman starts for the Skins; DeAngelo Hall starts for the Cowboys. [B]Advantage: Push[/B]

[B]Safeties[/B] Landry starts for Dallas; Sensabaugh starts for the Skins. [B]Advantage: PUSH.[/B]


The significant advantages - - in talent and performance for 2010 - - on offense for the Cowboys means their 1-6 record should be a huge embarrassment for the team and for the coaching staff and for the people who threw all those ingredients into a pot and stirred it up.

Cowboys may not be the most talented team out there but they have much more talent their record shows, their lack of discipline is astounding. Wade Phillips has got to go, I think he's way over his head. And someone, everyone?, has to be held accountable for how poorly they use Felix Jones.

Sandtrapjack, what do you think? Sandtrapjack? Hello, you there...

[B]The fact that JJ is dumbfounded is what I was really getting at[/B]. He has talent on the team but not in the areas that makes Cowboys the Cowboys. Sorry I confused you.

Re: Jerry Jones apologizes for team's 1-7 record.
 

The NFL keeps their fans becuase of HOPE. Everyone is always hoping their team will either get better, win their next game, draft a great player, etc. The Cowboys have very little hope right now. Unless Jerry Jones fires Phillips and creates HOPE for his fan base that the next coach will do better, he will start losing his fans. Its like cheering for the backup QB, even if he stinks. If your starters is playing bad, you want the backup, he represents hope!

Re: Jerry Jones apologizes for team's 1-7 record.
 

[QUOTE]Linebacker [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=1448"]Keith Brooking[/URL] said Monday that he didn't think the team had quit.


"I didn't feel like guys were loafing to the ball," he said. "I haven't watched the film yet, but I didn't get that feeling. I didn't think it was for a lack of effort or for guys quitting on this football team."


He had said Sunday that Phillips isn't quitting either.


"Wade is going to keep fighting," Brooking said. "We're not going to lose him. I have so much respect for Wade, the man, [and] that he is the coach, the success that he's had in this league. In saying that, it's none of my business as far as what Mr. Jones is thinking and the decisions he's going to make. I fully support Wade. I believe in him and he's our head coach and that's the only way you can look it."[/QUOTE]
Brooking is a moron.

Re: Jerry Jones apologizes for team's 1-7 record.
 

Buster:

Keith Brooking is not a moron.

What he said is precisely what a team leader has to say in the situation that the Cowboys find themselves in. Until and unless Phillips is fired - - reports are that he has been fired but I have not heard that from his or JJ's lips on TV yet - - Brooking and other leaders in that locker room have to stand with their coach.

And when a new coach/interim coach is named, it will be necessary for all the leaders in the locker room to rally around him - - - even if the new coacn/interim coach is one of the assistants on the team who has been one of the architects of the 1-7 disaster that is the 2010 Cowboys' season.

When they do that, they will not be morons then either...

Re: Jerry Jones apologizes for team's 1-7 record.
 

nah, I think it's obvious Brooking is a moron.
